(Video) I Invite You To Consider Who Your Ideal Client Is

Hey Coachy-Coachy Loves, me and my I-Dream-of-Jeannie hair invite you to consider who your ideal client is. Today, I am going to be sharing with you my ideal client. I get a lot of requests where people say, “How do you find your ideal client? How do you narrow it down?

Groaning Through My Soul Work

Some days, working for yourself is overwhelming, exhausting, frustrating. I've been working all day behind-the-scenes on operational stuff, experiencing technology glitches, and feeling like I just wanted to throw in the proverbial fucking towel.

Think DiSC! How to Work with the S Style

THINK DiSC! ***How to work with the S style*** PROBLEM: Your teammate is such a warm and friendly soul, always the one to bring in cupcakes on someone's birthday or buy the retirement card for all to sign...fiercly loyal and willing to go the extra mile for the team...always. And, yesterday, she stormed out of the office in tears after you told her that were unexpectedly changing some things and needed her brief before Friday. WHA??? Why'd she respond so emotionally? You have no …
