Stockdale’s Paradox

Posted on February 10, 2006 by Tina

Very cool article below from Perry Marshall, that hit home for me today in a different way.
As you may know, we’ve been having some problems with our dog being more aggressive than i’d like her to be. Just this morning while walking her she did a bit of a lunge/growl at a person walking by […]

Here’s a question that my business buddy Andy received from someone just the other day:
How do I drive thousands of people to my website for free to buy my new ebook?
His answer: If you find a way please let me know!
For those of us who have been doing business online for a while now it […]

Aaaw, do I hafta?

Posted on December 30, 2005 by Tina

I’ve just spent the past week doing a minimum amount of work, and I have to say that i’ve really been enjoying myself. Walking my dog, visiting friends and watching some DVDs that I got for Christmas (anyone else love the show Northern Exposure? it is one of my favorites from the 90s).
In fact i’ve […]

It’s All Fixable

Posted on August 3, 2005 by Tina

If there is one piece of advice I could give people when working online it is this:
“It’s all fixable”
This really struck me this week, while training a VA for one of my clients.
As i’m showing her how to do some things, she would come back once or twice to make sure that she was ‘doing […]

The ELF Principle

Posted on July 13, 2005 by Tina

I was reminded of a wonderful principle a few weeks back… the ELF Principle.
ELF stands for Effortless, Lucrative and Fun
In using the ELF principle you look at any business opportunity and ask yourself “Is this Effortless, Lucrative and Fun?”
If the answer is no, then don’t pursue that opportunity.
I can’t remember who came up with this […]

Re-learning How to Swim

Posted on June 18, 2005 by Tina

I had the best darn swim of my life yesterday…

I don’t have my own coach (say what?!)

Posted on May 29, 2005 by Tina

Tis true… I actually haven’t had my own coach since 2002.
Almost hypocritical considering that i’ve been working in the coaching industry for almost 6 years now. And totally believe in the power of coaching.
Every once in a while I think “should I hire a coach”, but I just never feel the need to. And then […]

Business Avoidance

Posted on May 12, 2005 by Tina

This is something I hear quite often in talking to coaches about “why they want to hire a VA/Business Manager”
“I just want someone to take care of all that stuff, so I don’t have to/don’t want to”
DOING! My little red flag always goes up when I hear this…
Why? Cause there is a possibility that this […]
