Jason McClain — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:34:00 +0100

One of the main challenges that small business people face—particularly solo practitioners or “solo-preneurs” in general--is the problem and the art of motivating oneself.

You are your own boss. If you have employees, then the game may be a little different for you as you have people depending on you. However, if it is just you, there are often no external forces telling you that you must do any particular “thing”. There are certainly exceptionRead More...

Jason McClain — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 05:55:35 +0100

There are only a few components successful coaches and practitioners must incorporate into their practice to turn it into a business.

Thoughts + Action + Will = Your Dream/Vision Becoming a Reality

There is much discussion about what it takes to be successful—and what it takes to be an entrepreneur. What it takes to succeed at owning your own business. Or stated differently, what it takes to “manifest” your vision in the world.

From a technical standpoint as well as a practical standpoint, there are several criteria that filter these levels, and the piece of paper upon which their certification is printRead More...
