My Article on Ezine
« on: January 16, 2009, 04:46:15 pm »
Hi all-

I published an article on ezine this week - and LADavid reminded me (thanks David) that it might be nice to share it with all of you.  As most of you know, I am a coach, so the article is about what I learned from this experience and how I am using it to be a better coach.  It's a quick read.  Comments welcome as always.

Debbi:

I just read your Ezine article and found it interesting and well written.  I wish I could be as concise.  Your points are well taken and certainly valid.  Good job!  :)

By the way, what does being a 'Certified Guerrilla Marketing Coach' mean, exactly?  Sounds intimidating.  ;)

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Debbi,

I enjoyed your article--it is all great advice. So often in business people find it difficult to just admit, 'I don't know,' when that is the case.  When someone does it is so refreshing and tends to be the first step in finding the solution to the problem at hand.

Great article, Debbi! I printed it out and posted it on my billboard. Sometimes I forget to ask for help, also. I should remember to do it.

Hi Debbi,
Great article and it's obvious to those of us who have gotten to know you that you do take your own advice.

Debbi,

Thanks so much for sharing your article.  I'm going to print it out, too - your seven lessons are great reminders that we need to be good to ourselves. (And I'm going to highlight #7. :))

Thanks, guys - I really appreciate your comments!  Doing more writing is one of my goals for the year, and this seemed like a great topic to start out with.

Great article, Debbie!  Some very sage advise there.  Thanks for sharing.  I think all of us could use a coach from time to time, too.
