Choice – The Scourge Of The Modern Shopper

There is a pre-supposition in NLP that suggest that choice is better than no choice. It is probably the one pre-supposition that I do not whole-heartedly embrace.

Last week our vacuum cleaner stopped working. It was a Hoover Savvy and about a year old. When I took it in to get it looked at I was told that it would cost about $135 to mend. This for a vacuum that only cost $175 new

A Life Coach Rant On Junk Mail

Just lately the junk mail we receive seems to have gone into unabated overdrive. One day last week I got 20 pieces on one day! Everything from brochures for stores that I wasn’t aware we had ever been in to offers for houses that we have no intention of ever buying to the ubiquitous offers of credit cards and fake promises that we have been specially chosen for some unbelievable offer that I simply

Customer Service – T-Mobile Style

It’s funny but every time I ring T-Mobile they start of by telling me when I joined them and how much the value my custom. The fact that if I wasn’t signed into a 2 year contract I would be gone down the road quicker than you can say ‘ for instructions that you have no chance of understanding press 4’ seems of scant regard. I suppose I should have a grudging admiration for

The Prodigal Client

With new clients I try to make the induction process as easy and risk free as possible. I do not charge for consultations and I only invoice after the first session.

This is designed to make sure people are happy with what they are getting themselves into and do not feel pressured into something of which they are unsure about. It works very well and most people respect the way I do it….most of

Never, Ever Give Up – Except Maybe Just This Once

I have wanted to add some audio to my website for some while and decided to bite the bullet and visit a very large music store here in Orlando. I also have developed an interest in Podcasting, I’m not sure yet how I can use it, maybe a weekly Coaching Podcast or something similar but I am keen to check it all out.

So I entered the store and was approached by a helpful

Report Spam And Help Save The World

When the great Monty Python sang about liking ham and jam and spamalot little did they know of the negative connotations that last word would realize decades later. Literally billions of pieces of spam either electronic or the traditional paper type are circulating at any one point in time. Some of it is malicious, some plain annoying and most at the very best, a waste of time and energy for the receivers

Currently I get about 10 pieces

To Unsubscribe – Click Here >>

Yesterday I unsubscribed to the yet another hardcore advertising message masquerading as a newsletter. What on earth has happened to something that was once a great source of information?

Only a year ago I received six great Life Coaching and marketing newsletters that I looked forward to and read with interest each month (actually 3 were monthly and 3 weekly).

I am now down to just two. Why is that?

Simply put, I am

Beaten By Big Business

I am going to take issue with a hero of mine, Seth Godin today. I remember reading that Seth was very enamored with Apples shops and their ‘Genius Bar’ in particular and I am not.

Like a good number of people I have toyed with buying a Mac and always pulled back at the last moment simply because of the steep learning curve and the money I have invested in software that probably wouldn’t
