Why I’m Giving Away My Books For Free

I talk a lot about values and specifically value conflicts both to life coaching clients and here on this blog. I make no apologies for doing so, because they are so crucially important to anybody that wants to take control of their life. Over the last week or so I’ve had my very own value conflicts going on that…

The Negative Life Coach

I have a few things I want to talk about today, but none of them really warrant a post of their own, so I hope you’ll forgive me if I tie up a few loose ends. The Negative Life Coach After publishing my ‘Is Apple Screwing Its Customers?” post I got a somewhat irate e-mail from a subscriber. It…

I even find the term mildly insulting, although I realize it’s not usually meant to be. I’m also a tad uncomfortable having just set up a Facebook Fan Page because I don’t want fans per…

Forget the Title, Just Build Something

Today we have a guest post from the very talented Mike Tekula, that man that inspired the post ‘Your Niche Is You’ from a few weeks ago. On first read it may seem somewhat unrelated to self development, but I think there is an underlying message not dissimilar to the ‘Just do it’ approach beloved by so many people.…
