I. THE UNFILLED QUEST TO BE PERFECT
We live in a world where being perfect is the accepted norm and everything
else is the reason why we don't measure up or fit in. We try to be the
perfect parent, spouse, lover, and friend. We try to be perfect at our jobs,
at completing our to-do lists, and at finding time for ourselves.
So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be
a life you love!
I just published a new book that can help you discover your ultimate career.
It's a combination of what I have learned to find my dream career combined
with real life examples of those individuals who have found theirs. The book
is extremely interactive and it helps you find your answers from within. The
book was a big goal for me in 2003 and I am glad to say that I did it!
Here's What's Inside The Book:
* How to locate your dream career
* How to find inner clarity and direction
* How fear can be used to your advantage
* How to create an action plan that gets results
* How to obtain your ultimate profession
While most career books concentrate on the logistics of finding the perfect
career, this book focuses on uncovering what you were meant to do with your
career from you. I hope you enjoy it.
You can find the book at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595296580/surpassyourdr-20
II. TOP WAYS THAT LIFE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO BE WONDERFUL The key to inner strength and the realization that you are bigger than life
comes from shifting your focus. Here are ten fun ideas to help shift your
focus away from perfection and onto what you already have.: Note: I have a new coaching book that is listed on amazon.com. It is called
"Four Steps To Building A Profitable Coaching Practice: A Complete Marketing
Resource Guide For Coaches." You can find the book at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595296602/surpassyourdr-20
The book includes my twelve years corporate marketing experience and
combines it with my five years marketing experience as a coach. I hope you
enjoy the book and it makes a difference in your practice. I know the
techniques made a difference in mine. Look out for my four-week teleclass
series that begins in March that will walk you through the concepts and
strategies discussed in this book. To see the upcoming schedule, please

THIS MONTH: BEING PERFECT CAN STAND BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR CLIENTS
Are you trying to be perfect with your clients? Your clients want your
knowledge and expertise, but they also want someone who is real. Being
perfect is a standard that is impossible to reach. We wouldn't tell our
clients to strive for perfection, yet we worry about coming across perfect
ourselves. To ADVERTISE, please visit the Surpass Your Dreams Advertising Page for more
information. If you want to reach over 13,000 successful Senior Executives,
Managers, Professionals, and Coaches who are looking to enhance their
careers and their lives, THIS is an excellent avenue to use!
But being perfect has a downside; it's extremely draining. We know
intellectually that we shouldn't care if we are perfect or not, but the
little voice inside tells us that perfect is the only way. It's the key to
happiness and acceptance, and we all want to belong. We know that perfect is
not realistic, but we also can't seem to find another way.
How about just accepting who you are? When you can accept that you are
human, flaws and all, your quest to be perfect can disappear. Start by
releasing old expectations and take each day as it comes. Life is a process.
The goal is to be happy today no matter how perfect you are.

About the Author: This piece was written by Taylor Hunt, who can be reached
at taylor@lifeanownersmanual.com
Earlier in my coaching practice, I felt like I had know all the answers and
convey them in a perfect way. I worried that my clients would leave my
coaching practice unless I coached them perfectly. What happened was exactly
what I feared. Clients stopped using me a their coach. They told me it was
because I didn't understand them very well. What they were really saying is
that I was so worried about getting it right, that I could not listen
effectively to what they were saying. Now, it's ok if I make a mistake here
or there, because I am coming from a non-perfect place.
Do not try to be perfect. Your gift of coaching cannot come through if you
are more concerned with how you are coaching, rather than on what your
clients need from you. My advice is to be yourself. Use your gifts and
talents to their fullest potential. This is what your clients really want.
