I. ARE YOU TRYING TO CHANGE EVERYTHING AT ONCE?
I meet many people who
have things in their lives that they want to change. Yet, the changes are never
made. They are confused as to why grand ideas or goals are never reached. They
wonder why they keep doing the same things over and over again, getting the same
results.
These are regular people
like you and me. They are in jobs or situations that they do not like, but they
are not taking the action steps necessary to have the outcomes be different.
Now, more than ever, they see the importance of being true to themselves and
living lives they love. For some, the problem is
that they are trying to change everything at once, thus becoming overwhelmed.
The result is them telling themselves that it will be too much work to make the
change. They tell themselves that the change will take too much time, and if
only they had made the change earlier in their lives, then they would have what
they wanted by now.
All this does is delay their
change. And, it keeps them from formulating a plan to get them where they want
to be.
Is there a better way? Yes, but
it has to start with you.
If you want a new job,
how about updating your resume? If you want a promotion, how about having a
conversation with your boss to see what you need to do to get one? If you want
to switch careers, how about spending some time researching what you need to do,
or speaking to people who are already there? The key is to break your change
into small pieces so you are able to get there.
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.

II. TOP WAYS TO UPGRADE YOURSELF
Change is not easy. The
general rule is that it takes 21 days to form a new habit. It takes discipline
and determination to develop a new practice or upgrade an old one. Then you must
integrate that practice into your daily routine, so that it becomes a new habit.
The following steps describe the process of upgrading who we are:
1. Discontentment.
You know what this is. That
restlessness that lets you know that all is not right and that change is
necessary.
2. Define The Change Needed.
Identify what is needed and
what it will take to improve the situation.
3. Delay Gratification.
Delay gratification in order to
listen to the inner wisdom that can provide the answers you need.
4. Plan.
Formulate a Plan of
Action that will propel you towards your goals.
5. Take Action.
It's important to begin the
change, one step at a time, once a plan of action is identified.
6. Review.
Stop what you are doing, on
a consistent basis, to evaluate whether your actions are working. If not, make
the necessary adjustments.
7.
Navigational Changes/Flexibility.
Be ready to make small
shifts along the way to your goals; flexibility is crucial. Give yourself credit
for the small changes that are taking you to the finish line! Don't quit, whatever you do
- you're too close now!. You have achieved a new goal
and the birth of a new habit! This will help you be the best you can
be. About the Author: This piece
was written by Barbara A. Blocker, Psychotherapist and Life Mastery Strategist,
who can be reached at CoachBarb@PartnersByDesign.com or at
her web-site at www.partnersbydesign.com Note: I have a new coaching book that is listed on amazon.com. It is called

Resource Guide For Coaches." You can find the book at: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595296602/surpassyourdr-20

combines it with my five years marketing experience as a coach. I hope you

techniques made a difference in mine. Look out for my four-week teleclass
series that began in March that will walk you through the concepts and
strategies discussed in this book. To see the upcoming schedule, please

THIS MONTH: MARKETING IS EASIER THAN YOU THINK
Marketing used to be more
difficult for me because I was unfocused. I was advertising here, speaking
there, writing here, giving teleclasses there, networking here, etc. You get the
picture. I found that I was doing all
of the above because I felt I had to or my practice would not grow. And, all the
activity was taking away from what I loved to do, which was writing. So, I
decided to focus my efforts and grow my practice through writing. Once I made
this decision, I was able to put all my energies in one place, and clients have
come into my practice as a result. For me, the nicest surprise
was when I focused on writing, the other marketing pieces fell into place. By
offering my articles to others, I found myself networking, advertising, and
speaking without even trying. The lesson? Focus on what
you love to do. If you love to write, then spend your time writing and looking
for places where you can submit your work. If you love to speak, then spend your
time finding places where you can speak. If you love to network, join a
networking group and go to every association meeting in your area related to who
you want as a client. You can only do so much
because you are just one person. With this approach, you are doing what you love
and growing your practice as the same time. Would you like more of the
