The good thing about wanting to be or being a life coach is that there is very high demand but very low competition!  However, it must be noted that not everyone can be a successful and effective life coach.  You should know your strengths and weaknesses before pursuing your dream to be a life coach because being a person’s life coach can give you the power to make or break a person’s life and reputation.The Makings of a Good Life Coach

If you want to be a life coach, you must first possess a charming personality.  Remember, you are going to “coach” or convince a person about some things in his or her life.  How can you expect your client to believe or become convinced in you if you don’t possess a charming personality?

You also have to be a good conversationalist.  You must know how to handle a conversation because in some sessions, there will be times when you have to do most of the talking rather than just listening.

Having an optimistic attitude will also help you to become a better life coach.  You can’t possibly be an effective life coach if your mind is full of negative and morbid ideas.  A pessimist will surely have a hard time becoming an effective life coach.  In connection with being optimistic, a good life coach must also have a motivating attitude to entice the client to improve and change for the better.

The Way to a Better Life

Most people visit a life coach because they want to make their lives better and escape from their problems.  Being a life coach is not an easy job that’s why if you want to be a life coach, you have to be prepared holistically because you will be dealing with problems of very fragile people.

Let’s say you have decided to be a freelance writer online. You have made a review of your writing skills and your “specialties.” You have a very good, solid idea on what you can offer to your client.

But where do you look for clients? The Internet actually offers a large “database” where you can get your prospective clients:

1) Freelance writing jobsites. This is like the classifieds, except that in here you get to answer the classifieds – or rather, writing projects – by bidding. Some freelance jobsites allow you to bid for free, while others, like Elance.com, require payment.

When you type “freelance writing jobs” or something close in your search engine, you will easily find the jobsites as well as simple advertisements offering freelance writing opportunities.

2) Forums, e-groups and other online communities. This is an effective medium especially if you actively discuss with other members or even just occasionally make a comment or two. Also, you may also have already established good relationships and trust with some of the members who might make very good clients.

Writing communities are good as members may share writing opportunities with other members from time to time. Online business communities are better as those are where your clients are.

3) Direct proposals. During your Internet surfing time, you may find websites and blogs with not very good content. Or articles in directories which are screaming to be overhauled. In times like these, you might consider writing a proposal directly to the online business owner on how you can help him/her improve his business’ performance through your writing.

4) Referrals from family and friends. If they know online business owners, half the fight is over. Their referred people will be more likely to hire you since you were referred by a friend they trust.

You can do two items simultaneously or even all. Finding your clients and marketing yourself may be time-consuming at first, but once you have your first clients, things will be easier. If they are happy, they will continue to give you projects. Or referrals to other people they know. Maybe even both.

You are starting to feel that something’s not exactly right in your relationship. And you fear the worst – your partner is having an affair. But for various reasons, you might not feel right in hiring a detective to confirm it. Would you give you up and just wait for the inevitable something to happen or would you like to find out for yourself if it’s true? Contrary to the popular clichĕ, the partner can be the FIRST to know. Other than the very obvious physical changes you can readily notice, you can try these simple strategies:

· Notice changes in his/her attitude – Did he/she suddenly become vague about appointments or is suddenly coming up with conferences at short notices? Was there a change in the way he/she treats you and the kids? Do you still get a straight answer when you ask why the late hours? More importantly, do you still get eye contact when you get an answer? Whatever major changes in life that a person makes will be manifested in the physical. For such a drastic move as having an affair, the conscience still makes itself heard. You’ll see the tell-tale evasiveness; the difference in the way he/she talks or acts; even the lack of eye contact. Not many people can look straight into another person’s eyes when they are guilty.

· Get somebody else to find out for you – You must know someone that your partner works with or even friends he goes out with. If you’re in good enough terms, try asking about it. It could be as direct as ‘do you know if he’s having an affair?’ or as roundabout as ‘who does he go with when they have seminars?’ Be prepared for the answer and confirm what they tell you to be on the safe side. For all you know, your informant is the other side of the guilty party as well!

· Check your finances – There are very few things in life that will not leave a paper trail – an illicit affair is NOT one of them. See if there are withdrawals that you didn’t know about. Start noting the items on your credit card bills. If you see items that does not make sense – like a bill from a gas station when he/she was supposed to be in London for a seminar. Or charges from a hotel or a store that you don’t recall hearing about. You have every right to call these establishments about the charges. In some instances, you might even get more information that what you’ve been trying to dig up – like a dress size for instance.

Again, you can be the first to know – all it takes is a few leads.

It is a fact that memory deteriorates as a person grows older. It is also true that there are some people who just have a hard time remembering names, sequences, and figures. These people may even think of this as a problem.

The good news is that memory can be improved, especially if you are still in your tender years. To give you an idea of how you can actually improve your memory, here are some good steps to follow:

1. First, digest the information. This is your first perception of the data. Concentrate. Try not to process the information too lightly. Attempt to take in all the facts and figures as much as you can.

2. Associate the data to something you really know. The process of association is very powerful. Connect the data to anything you identify or feel deeply about. It can even be anything entirely unrelated. Your main goal here is to easily recall the data every time you are reminded of that something.

3. Recite the data in your mind. Now, it is time to actually use your memory. After taking in the data and associating each individual item to something, start recalling them one by one in the right order in your mind. Do this until you get everything correct.

4. Pause for five minutes and recall the data again. Rest your mind for a few minutes. Then go back to your data and try to recall all of it once more. If you are successful, do this step for about three times. Give yourself another five minutes, then recall. If you are still able to remember the data after three times, this means the data is now residing in a part of your brain and it will stay there long-term.

5. Go over the steps again until you can recite the data on your own. If you fail to recall all the data given to you after the five-minute lull time, go back to step one. Repeat the steps until you can accurately remember every single piece of data fed to you.

These are relatively easy steps that will stimulate your mind and improve your memory. It is okay to fail the first few times. Just regularly apply this simple guide whenever you need to memorize something.

Then, observe yourself. After several tries, you will notice that it is taking you less time to recall the things given to you as you go along. You’ll be amazed at how you can become a memory genius in no time.

People will always find themselves in the heat of arguments. Every once in a while, conflicting personalities and ideologies will clash and create commotion. Sometimes, these conversations lead to more harsh circumstances.

Learning to be assertive is a way to prevent arguments from blowing up. Furthermore, it will definitely help in winning arguments.

Assertiveness is a trait that is characterized by two things - audacity and leaning towards the positive. Assertiveness is being audacious in the sense that it requires a certain boldness to be assertive.

Audacity is accompanied by confidence that is rooted from the truth. If one has confidence in what he believes in, he will be bold enough to tell the world about it and will be brave enough to defend it against those who may persecute this ideology of his.

Assertiveness is also accompanied by the “positive.” An assertive person speaks with a positive attitude, even though he is referring to negative things. A negative person, when engaged in an argument, will most likely lose his composure and perhaps say things that are not based on good ideas. Have you heard a blabbermouth engage in an argument? Some people don’t think about the words that they are saying because all they care about is hoarding the whole argument. This tactic will never win a single argument and will likely offend the other party.

Assertiveness is not something in between aggressiveness and being passive; it is a whole other concept on its own. Being assertive means being strong and bold enough to stand your ground when engaged in an argument. It is releasing every word with finesse, as if you are reading from the book of truths. Being assertive, however, is not about insulting the person whom you are arguing with; but rather, it is a way of being respectful of his views and comments.

Before you can be assertive concerning a certain standpoint, you must first fully understand the whole issue. Let us take an example.

Let us say that you (hypothetically) can be sure that you will be engaged in an argument about birth control pills in the near future (perhaps you will be attending a seminar or a symposium about the topic). You should at least make an effort to substantiate your views. Moreover, you must also look into the opposing view, which is the more important thing to do.

Sometimes, people tend to forget the other side of things once they have seen several positive things on the side that they believe is better. Learning about the opposing view can enrich the mind. Two things might happen; you can change views or stick with your current standpoint and find more lapses on the other side. This way, a holistic approach is taken towards learning, which is imperative before being assertive.

Assertiveness is the projection of the truth. It is a confident-laden approach towards arguing. Assertiveness, when used in arguments, will definitely give the person a competitive advantage but will also make sure that the argument stays sensible and thoughtful.

Winning an argument does not strictly mean that you have to make your “opponent” concede to your beliefs; winning it entails a simple thing - that your views are heard and that you have made yourself an exemplar of your belief. This is assertiveness in action.

Certainly, there are times when you just feel like you’re “stuck in a rut.” It seems like your mind’s just ran out creative juice, and you’re short of ideas.

Aside from preventing you to finish your work on time, creativity lulls can always put a damper on someone’s mood. It’s always best to develop some creative enhancement techniques; because as much as you want to avoid lack of inspiration in your creative endeavors, it’s something that just naturally occurs. It’s up to you whether you would let these pauses get in the way of things.

This may sound weird, but when you start feeling like you’ve already ran out of good ideas, may it be for an article, a book, a painting or a song that you’re trying to make, drawing out inspiration from your life experiences can actually be a big help. Many people usually turn to their experience treasure chest to help them find a new topic for their projects. It doesn’t matter whether you live an ordinary life or not, just pick out something that you’re very fond of, and use it in the most creative way that you can think of. Some stories usually start on just simple drafts; but the more the story progresses, the better it gets. Once you start to get your creative juices flowing, it would start to pour out in unthinkable amounts.

Another great thing to draw inspiration from are your “insights.” This is just a way to help you rack your brains in trying to come up with little ideas that can help you generate a story or any sort of inspiration. For starters, you might actually want to try coming up with a list to help the insights flowing. Think of a topic, and then just start listing down things that you think are relevant to it. Take for example, the “Top 10 Christmas gifts.” This might be a good start if you’re trying to come up with an idea on a Christmas story for children. Whenever you’re feeling pressured to start coming up with something, the best that you can actually do is to just list things down. It’ll definitely help you get more organized. Before you know it, you’d be able to come up with something solid to work on.

Apart from trying to draw inspiration and ideas from your personal experiences, why not try asking around. You might also get something good out of other people’s experiences –whether it’d be good or not. Always remember that whenever you’re trying to draw some inspiration for something or trying to enhance your creativity, never ever pressure yourself in accomplishing it in a snap; because the more you pressure yourself, the less likely you’ll be able to come up with something genuine and unique.

Living under a mountain of debt cripples you. You’re unable to live in peace because of the weight and pressure of your financial problems. Creating a debt relief plan can be immensely beneficial in stopping this horrific pain.

Step One: Gather Your Bills. The first thing you must do to create a debt relief plan is know how much you owe and to whom. This will probably be the most difficult step for you if you’ve never done it before. But being able to see every bill you have and the amount of debt you owe will help motivate you and kick start you into action.

Step Two: Make A Plan. Once you have a clear understanding of the amount of debt you’re in, you’ll be much more capable of setting reasonable financial goals for yourself. these goals are what will help you get out of and stay out of debt forever. Begin by sorting your bills from highest to lowest in amount.

Step Three: Make Payments. The most important thing you can do is to make sure you keep making your payments on time. If you are behind on any bill, the first thing you need to do is get caught up. Once you’re caught up on all payments, start applying every extra dollar you can to the smallest bill and get it paid off. Then work your way up the ladder.

Step Four: Continue Moving Forward. Once you get going and start seeing some of your debt paid off, it will be tempting to get another credit card or create more lines of credit. Instead, save money for those purchases and wait until you have enough cash saved up to pay for it in full up front with cash.

Getting out of debt is possible. But you must have a plan and stick to it.

The holidays has a way of digging down into everyone’s pockets. You spend lots of money on gifts and food and travel, then you’re left with a whopping debt when you finally reach the new year. Very few people stop to take the time and figure out what is causing them to get into such a huge amount of debt. This article will lay out five specific ways most people get into debt.

1. Whip out your credit card every time you need to make a purchase. The majority of people who spend a lot during the holidays do it with their credit card. Credit cards make it enormously easy to spend money because you don’t have to count out your cash. All you have to do is whip out the card and BAM it’s paid for.

2. Spend money you don’t have. Another common cause of debt is trying to keep up with the Smiths, so to speak, by spending money you don’t really have to spend. It’s so easy to get entangled in this trap without even realizing it. You spend money to impress others. In all truthfulness, they’re never impressed by your spending anyway!

3. Splurge on your children. Christmastime is especially rough on parents. Naturally, you want your children to have everything and more. But is it really good for them, or you? By splurging excessively on your children, you’re not only putting yourself into debt, but you’re teaching your children by your actions that it’s okay to blow money on things that aren’t really necessary.

4. Don’t live by a budget. One of the worst things for anyone to do is to not have a spending budget. If you don’t know where your money is going, how can you be a good steward? Living without a budget enables you to spend more and more until you’re all spent out.

5. Live in the moment. Just as living without a budget can get you in trouble, so can living in the moment. When you live in the moment, you spend money without even thinking about how much you’re spending or what it’s going towards. In the end, you’ll end up broke and with nothing to show for all the money you spent.

Living a creative life means doing something creative every day. For most artists, creativity comes as natural as breathing. For those just dipping their toes into the pool of creativity, this concept might seem a little foreign.
Here are some simple ways you can be creative in your life every day:

· Decide to do something out of the ordinary. If you generally keep the same routine every day, do something different. Break out of your normal routine and try something odd or different. This might be something as simple as mixing up your daily routine.

· Enroll in a freestyle dancing class. Freestyle dancing is a wonderful way to stir up your creativity. After several weeks of lessons, you’ll most likely experience an explosion of creativity as you start making up your own freestyle moves.

· Be silly. It’s easy to turn into a serious, contemplative person when you’re involved in your art. You become so consumed with your work that you forget about everything else. Break out of that stiff shell and do something silly. Cross your eyes. Touch your tongue to your nose. Stick your fingers in your ears and make a weird face.

· Keep a daily journal. Journaling can really help open your creativity in amazing ways. Write or draw in your journal every day. Make it a part of your creative routine.

· Create a mind map wall. Designate a certain wall to nothing but brainstorming. Use this wall to brainstorm and create mind maps. The process of creative brainstorming on a huge space will generate tons of ideas for you.
