The End of Procrastination

Scientist with time machine

If you read my review of my favorite books of 2009, you will know I hold Bill Giruzzi in high regard. His book ‘A Life Worth Living’ is probably the most original book I have read on self-development in the last two or three years. So imagine how excited I was to see him leave a comment on this…

About 10 years ago I was in a sales meeting with a customer who happened to be a Life Coach and psychologist. I can’t remember how we got onto the topic, but I was telling him about my sisters severe phobia of snakes that she’d had most of her life. When I say severe phobia, I mean really, really…

I don’t have many heroes when it comes to life coaching and/or self development. There are people I admire and respect, but few that would make be more excited than a 13 year-old schoolgirl at a Jonas Brothers concert. In fact, off the top of my head I can only think of two and they are the co-developer of…
