Make More Mistakes
“While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.”
—Henry C. Link
I was talking to one of my clients today and she mentioned that she was afraid of making mistakes in her business — of investing time and money into something that may not eventually pan out. I reassured her that yes, she probably will make mistakes, but that isn't a bad thing and not something to be afraid of.
Thomas Edison discovered 1,800 ways not to make a light bulb before he found the way to make it. One of Madame Curie's failures was radium. Christopher Columbus was looking for India when he discovered the new world—big mistake there! Even chocolate chip cookies were a mistake. And there is the now ubiquitous Post-it-Note™—the glue that wasn't sticky enough—another great mistake. Some of the very best inventions and discoveries in the history of the world have been mistakes or failed projects. The great thing about mistakes is that they can lead to a new and different way of thinking or doing what you never would have tried if you had succeeded. Do not fear mistakes; instead see what they can be used for or what new world is being revealed that you didn't see before.
In sales, if you know that you need 100 rejections before you'll get that one customer who says "yes", then you can get excited about every “no” because you know you now need only 98 more to reach a “yes.” If one way isn't working, think positively like Edison—he looked at each failure as learning just one more way that didn't work.
As some famous person once said, “If at first you don't succeed, find out what the losers get.”
What fears of failure have stopped you from doing what you really want?

Just because You Can Do It doesn't Mean You Should!
Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week, October 19, 2009
Just Because You Can Doesn't Mean You Should
This tips actually came from my older sister who was watching me try to write a book, redesign my website, look after my two girls and build a new house all at once. And the truth of the matter is that I couldn't do all these things at once and in the end, focused on one thing—my book and well, my girls and husband which is actually one thing and three very special people! There is a huge temptation to try to do it all because we want it all—at least I do! The problem comes in trying to do it all at once and that can be just too stressful and actually ineffective. It is much more effective to focus on one thing at a time and get that project done so that it is out there in the world as a finished product. If I didn't finish this latest book, Coach Yourself to a New Career (McGraw-Hill coming the spring of 2010) then you wouldn't be able to read it. I realized I've been scattering my own energies by trying to take on too many goals and projects at once. This just isn't effective. Now I've committed to focusing on just one big goal at a time. What a relief!
This concept applied to one of my clients as well. He had recently decided to get out of one of the businesses he had owned for years. At one time he had really enjoyed this business but he had since become more involved in Mergers and Acquisitions, which was not only more interesting but also highly profitable. So he sold his very solid and profitable business to a dear friend only to find that a few months later his friend became very ill and was in the hospital for three weeks. My client, being a truly kind-hearted man, took over some of the jobs so that he could keep his friend's business running. He was thinking he might even have to buy the business back. I suggested that just because he could run this business and buy it back, doesn't mean that he should—he'd be better off offering to sell the business for his friend.
What are you taking on that you really have no business doing? I have no business trying to build a website because I'm not one bit techy and haven't even figured out how to use my lovely new Mac yet and I've had it a year! If I were so inclined I'd have been tinkering around with it in the evenings and learning how to use all its cool features. If it isn't one of your natural talents or abilities, find someone who is talented and get them to help you with it or do it for you! Are you taking on more than one key goal or project at a time? What can you put on the back burner so that you can enjoy your current project fully?
Enjoy!

Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week, October 12, 2009
Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week, October 12, 2009
Big is Not Always Better
It is easy to get carried away with stuff and there is an underlying assumption in the US that the bigger something is, the better. Living in the UK for the past six years has shown me that this isn't always the case... in fact, over here, they often are suspicious of things that are too big and prefer a much smaller and often more select group. Smaller can be better!
One of my clients couldn't decide whether he should take his successful chiropractic practice to the next level, hire more staff, get bigger premises and really become the biggest practice in his town. Or whether he should go back to being a two doctor practice and simplify and get rid of his big office and staff. We took a look at what his ideal life was and he reported that his favorite thing to do was to bike up to the mountain top and meditate or read. And he liked doing this with his son as well. Not terribly expensive activities, but because he was so busy with managing all his staff, he had very little time to do this simple activity.
So the decision was easy-- go with the smaller office. And he did and had a lot more time to enjoy his favorite activity and to spend with his son. What surpised us both, was that once he got rid of all that overhead, he was more profitable, not less! An unexpected benefit!
When you are true to your self and do what you truly love, you'll have a richer life. And more often than not, you'll find you don't miss the money when you are truly happy or that you actually make more money! You can't go wrong when you follow your values.
Enjoy!

We'll streamline your life, cut out all unnecessary distractions and help you focus on what is truly important to you. Three weeks starting on Nov 3rd at 8am est.

Unlock your creative side!
Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week, October 5, 2009
Morning Pages: A Quick Tip from The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron
Whether you are an artist, a writer, or a business person who would like to come up with some creative solutions at work, this tip will work for you. It will work for anyone who wants to tap into their creativity. Every day write three pages. You can do this in a journal or blank book or even on the computer. The point is to do it every day. You don't have to write anything grand. I usually describe my day or what is going on in my life at the time. It can be really boring stuff like I had scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. In fact, if you can't think of anything at all to write, you can simply fill the pages with “I can't think of anything to write.” The key is to fill those three pages. This was the exercise that led to the writing of my first book, Coach Yourself to Success. Once in the habit of putting pen to paper, it was an easy step to write an entire book. A simple, highly effective technique for tapping into your own creative side! Try it for at least thirty days before you make any decisions about its effectiveness.
Enjoy!

Talane's Coaching Tip for the Week.

The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches: A Practical (and Fun) Guide to Enjoying Life More by Spending Less
by Jeff Yeager
This summer I read the both hilarious and very sensible book by Jeff Yeager, The Ultimate Cheapskate's Road Map to True Riches: A Practical (and Fun) Guide to Enjoying Life More by Spending Less (Broadway Books, 2008).
Yeager prides himself on being a cheapskate and has been known to not only take his own leftovers home from a dinner out, but also the leftovers of his dining companions! While I'm not prepared to go that far, especially since I don't have a dog as an excuse, he does have some excellent points and the book is a funny and inspiring read with quotes like these sprinkled throughout the book:
“I always stay at the cheapest hotel, so I was surprised to find a mint on my pillow in the evening. Turns out it fell out of the mouth of the guy who slept there the night before.”
“If I hear one more financial pundit tell me I can put my financial house in order simply by giving up a four-dollar cup of Starbucks coffee every day, I'm going to force him to listen to his own audiotapes while I show him photographs of Suze Orman's face photo-shopped onto Halle Berry's body....These types of painless savings schemes appeal to the same people who want to believe that they can get abs of steel by wearing magnetic belts.”
The chances that you will actually take that four dollars you saved from that cup of coffee and invest it at 8% are pretty slim. Yeager points out that if you get the big financial equations right in the first place, you can have as many designer cups of coffee as you want (not that he would ever bring himself to pay that much for a cup of coffee in the first place)! As Yeager says, “In real life it's too easy for the four dollars you saved by not buying your latte this morning to morph into an extra pizza topping this evening.” So true!
He has six golden “nuggets” on getting the big equations handled, for example: One of Yeager's rules is to live within your means at thirty and stay there. How do you do this? First, buy a “starter” home you can live in for the long haul and stay there. So many people have gotten into financial ruin by always buying a bigger house with bigger payments whenever their income increases. They never get ahead as they keep increasing their spending to match their increase in income. In contrast, Yeager bought a “starter” house in a lovely area and has done his own home improvements and extensions over time. (I'm not one bit handy so I hire people to do that sort of thing!) As a result, he has stayed in the same home in a good neighborhood and it has increased in value over time while he has pocketed any increase in income right into savings. And, he also bought a house that he could pay for on his income alone and saved his wife's income. When she wanted to quit her job, he said, no problem because they had been living on one income all along and saving hers. My husband and I do the same. We live on his income and save my income for holidays and retirement savings. Clients of mine figured out that they could be financially independent in ten years if they could live on one income and save the other. A goal well worth going for! The key is to find a lifestyle you are comfortable with and then stay there. Don't keep raising your expenses as your income increases. One of my favorite quotes from Quentin Crisp sums this up:
“Never try to keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level. It's cheaper.”
Another Yeager nugget is to never underestimate the power of not spending. Yeager says, “Spending less is rarely, if ever, a bad thing to do.” He recommends going on a spending fast which I heartily agree with because it is the same advice I've given in my book Coach Yourself to Success—going on a money diet. For thirty days don't buy anything other than groceries and basic essentials like toilet paper and even then you should stock in advance so that you can live without spending for 30 days. Anything that you feel compelled to buy goes on a thirty day list. After thirty days you can review your list and see if you still want those items. I find that either the urge to have it passes in that time or that I never really wanted the thing in the first place or I attract it for free (someone gives it to me). Just this weekend I cleared out all my daughter's old clothes and the drawers were pretty empty and I thought I might have to go out and buy them some new clothes when my friend came and dropped off a huge bag of clothes her daughter had outgrown. I don't need to buy a thing now! Not spending may in fact be a much more effective way of increasing your wealth than trying to make more money.
Yeager points out that the exceptions to his rule that “not spending money is a far more powerful tool for achieving financial freedom than all the books ever written on the subject of how to make more money.” He points out that most people make their money by selling their time, not by investing or leveraging their money or using it to launch a business. And therefore, for the vast majority, spending money is the fastest way to lose money. Right on!
I heartily recommend Yeager's book—full of practical advice and loaded with humor and a strong message to focus on the things that really matter in life—spending time with your friends and families and doing the things you love.
Enjoy!

Soul Story Telling
Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week, September 28, 2009
Soul Story Telling
Before I went away for vacation this summer, I had the wonderful opportunity to receive a soul story reading from Ronnie Slavis. I've never done this before so I didn't have a clue what to expect and was pleasantly surprised when I heard my story. Ronnie perfectly articulated my unique gift – my special talent is to awaken the excitement in others for what they truly want to do. (Not a bad thing for a life coach to have!) He also revealed in the story that I need to play more and have fun—one of my top values that hasn't been getting enough expression ever since I've had my two girls. How is it that kids love to play more than anything? In fact, they are the embodiment of the power of play and yet I'm playing less than ever – the responsibilities of parenthood no doubt. So with a strong message to play and explore and to try dancing to Gabrielle Roth's Wave dance I made sure I spent my summer playing with the girls on the beach as well as finishing up my next book. And not only did we do the Wave dance together, but we also did some belly dancing, which is rather like it! Apparently, I also have the gift of lucid dreaming, so I'm going to do a bit of research about that and see what that reveals. A fascinating experience and if you are feeling a bit lost or disconnected from your purpose in life, this may be the just the thing for you!

More on The Power of Focus.
Talane’s Coaching Tip for the Week, September 23, 2009
More on The Power of Focus
As a quick follow-up to last week's tip on only having one big goal, a maximum of three projects (making sure that one of those projects is forwarding your big goal) and keeping a running tab or list of all the other projects in the sidelines....an old friend, Ann Wall, in Miami sent in the following: “What about using the simple method of "one in, one out" same as I try to apply to my shoe wardrobe? That way you have to decide to either give up or complete one goal/project before you start another. That would allow you to reconfirm how important your goal or project is because it "wins out" when compared to possible new projects that come up. Helps strengthen you resolve.”
A great way to handle your shoes as well as your work.
Enjoy!
Talane
P.S. I spent a few hours listing every single project that I could come up with (the entire gamut from organizing the photos into albums to the next book idea) on index cards. I ended up using an entire stack of cards. Now it is easy to shuffle through them and pull out my top three at any time. As new projects or ideas occur to me, I give each one a separate index card and put it in the stack.
P.P.S And, an old coaching rule of thumb; if you have had any goal for over a year and haven't taken any real action to achieve it or move it forward, toss out that goal (it's dead!) and pick one that actually excites or interests you instead! You'll feel better immediately.
