life coaching

FUN INVITATION
I just watched the movie ‘August Rush’, and loved it.

Further, I had a very deep insight afterwards that affects and supports my coaching, my marketing, and my purpose. I encourage and challenge you to watch the movie in the next 7 days, and post any insights you have about your purpose – what you’re up to in the world – at this link:

(If you’ve seen it recently – then feel free to post now!)

ONLY ONCE YOU’VE WATCHED IT…
Once you’ve watched (or re-watched the movie), then listen to MY insight here:

August Rush – 3 minute audio

And I hope you’ll post your own insights. I found the movie very moving, and hope you do to.

I just quit my job.

Which might sound strange since I work for myself.

I’m burned out – been working too hard, to the point where every waking and sleeping moment was about work. Everything blurred to the point that I forget what a day off looks like.

The results got too important – I got attached to the outcome, and started to feel a lot of pressure to make things happen. (Which is ridiculous!)

So I quit. At least for the next four days I’m only going to do what I want to do. As my good friend Nicole Daedone said: “It just has to feel good”.

If I don’t want to speak to groups – I won’t speak. If it feels like too much pressure to put the pitch and sales stuff together, I won’t worry whether I sell anything at the end of the speech. I’m done going for book endorsements unless they feel natural and fun. And I’ve chilled out about selling it to a publisher. (In my mind it’s already sold and published, and it will do how it’s going to do).

I don’t have to earn any money in the next 12 months. I don’t have to sell one product. I don’t have to travel anywhere I don’t want to, or for longer than I want. I don’t have to hang out with anyone I don’t want to – regardless of the business opportunity they might bring. I don’t ~need~ to write a book, and if I do, I don’t need anyone to buy it.

Being hyperfocused can be a gift. I get enormous things done in a short period of time. And…there’s balance.

Will this last past Dec 27? I don’t know. But it’s feeling good right now, and I’m enjoying LOST and reading up on the environment.

So I quit.

I quit my own job.

And call the support line – it’s so fun!

It’s all secret agent stuff – they have really jumped on the geeky thing.

Plus – they’ll tune and tweak your PC by remote – 24 hours a day! And they offered to do it for me right there and then – no waiting!

Makes me want to create a fun company like this.

How can you make your brand more YOU!?

More fun?

Hi guys,

This one is a personal request.

Someone told me today my newsletters have improved their life, and I realised I’m not aware of the impact I’m making to you guys on a personal level.

Oh, theoretically I know it’s there, but I work from my computer at home so I never get to SEE the impact. And I’d like to FEEL it.

So if anything I’ve done, said or written has made an impact on your life at a Personal level, and you have a moment and the inclination, I’d like to hear about it here: Post Comment.

(If you’ve gotten business results that’s great, but I’m really interested right now in what changes have happened in your life, or your experience of life, or for those around you? Or what have you learned about yourself and life from anything I’ve done?)

You can post your response to the question “How have I impacted your life” here:

Post Comment

Love and fun,

David
