Coaching Support

It's a new year and despite the many layoffs and economy woes, you can be successful with support from Life Coaching and Career Strategizing to focus your action steps.  Why make the same mistakes or have the same setbacks as last year?  It's even more important that your time and money is spent wisely.  Call Creating At Will for your career success!  

"Laurie helped me clarify my primary career goals, prioritize them, and begin achieving them.  I'm now setting new ones!" Karen P.

Food for Thought

What stops you from having the things you'd like in your life?

We know the answer is most often, "my own negative beliefs." 

In the Re-Identify Yourself program, Laurie uncovers a pattern that is repetitive and destructive you'd like to change and identifies all the underlying beliefs.  With a process taught by the Lefkoe Institute, she quickly and easily eliminates those negative beliefs until the pattern has changed.  What could make more sense than that?  Questions?
call Laurie for more info.

Do You Have Career Interruptis?

It's a new year and time again to refocus on the contribution you want to make through your career.  Are you living your dream career?  If not, maybe you have career interruptis, which thankfully boils down to curable states of being.  So let's discuss what doesn't work.

Insufficient self-discovery Have you reflected on and written about your deepest desires and most important values? Have you matched those with how you most like to spend your free time and favorite activities from former job experiences?  If not, then return to GO and begin the game again.  Make those important correlations.  If you don't have a strong conviction you're on the right career path, then itâ'll be hard to move ahead.

Lack of presence You may say you want to achieve a certain career objective, but you repeatedly engage...

Career Success

Elizabeth is an entrepreneur who owns a floral shop. She wants to expand her outreach beyond the three cities she covers near where she lives to help build her household's income.  However, her marketing budget is minimal and she only has one driver working part-time.   She also wants to find ways to spend more time with family.

  • What are Elizabeth's priorities?
  • Should she be focused on expansion and, if so, what are ways she can grow and fund her business?
  • What are key questions (and answers) you'd offer Elizabeth?

-CALL-TO-ACTION-   How would you answer these questions?  Let's hear your entrepreneurial responses to any or all of the above questions and we'll publish you in our next newsletter or article mailer along with your NAME, COMPANY NAME, EMAIL and URL.  to: info@creatingatwill.com.  If you prefer to be anonymous, we'll use your first name only.

Ask the Coach

I'm overwhelmed with my many entrepreneutrial projects.  Each day I find I either lose time band-aiding old projects or organizing how I'll tackle new ones - which seem to keep piling up.  How do I get a better strategy and move ahead? - Erin

Practical Entrepreneur Tip

use babywipes to...

  • clean your computer keyboard or calculator. These don't leave any smudges nor destroy keyboards, because no liquid can seep through the cracks.
  • as dust clothes. The fabric used to make baby wipes is very effective in gathering dust.
  • as a hand sanitizer after eating at restaurants or in public places if there's no time to stop in a restroom.

 Personal Renewal

Don't forget to take time out for breaks and schedule your favorite activities, like scrapbooking, jewelry making or teaching yourself to sight read music (all fun things I'm doing in '09). Not sure what to do?  Amazon and other bookstores have books that list fun things to do alone, with others, with your pet, and on vacation in the city of your choice.  Not sure how to do it?  Classes abound at your local college and they offer adult day and evening classes too.
