Getting the Financial Commitment
Suddenly, there's a knot in your stomach (where did that come from?) and you start to stammer. Your internal dialogue kicks into high gear. "Can I really deliver what the client needs?” “They will never pay my rates.” In your mind, you start coming up with reasons why they won't commit.
Flexibility Coaching
'Becoming Cleopatra' is a metaphor for flexible business building. Thinking about the financial ups and downs in much of the Western World has had me noticing the nature of fear. It is not really relevant whether you feel it or not. What is relevant is whether it stops you from doing what is required. What can allow us to weather any storm and to learn from it?

The Power of Mastering the Basics
Mastering the basics is critical to success. Whether you're talking about playing chess, playing golf, or becoming a coach, a good foundation is crucial to accomplishment.

If you are feeling frustrated, it’s most likely because the things you are doing and how you are being, are not in alignment with who you are at your most authentic, deepest, and best level.
I am not ready...
Have you ever heard yourself say "I am not ready"? I am not ready to integrate my coaching skills into my career, I am not ready to “go public” with being a coach, I am not ready to ask for a raise, I am not ready to charge for my services, I am not ready for a career change, etc?
What is your Relationship to your Business - Romance or Business?
I cannot remember the exact moment or when the concept of my relationship to my coaching business was introduced during the Erickson Business Center, but I do recall my brain’s reaction when it successfully snuck through my perceptual filters. Teresia had thrown the curve ball question --“What is your relationship to your business?” The ‘Big Error’ message came up in flashing neon lights, what is Teresia talking about?
