4 Ways to Achieve the Golden Oscar in You

It’s that “golden” time of the year again and I am struck with the thought that as the actors are try­ing to achieve the golden Oscar, I am on the path to my own kind of gold as well.  I cur­rently am on a quest to become a Gold Direc­tor in my busi­ness with USANA Health Sci­ences and am find­ing it a “stretch” to get there.  As a tra­di­tional worker who has always relied on work­ing for a boss and receiv­ing the secu­rity of ben­e­fits and a pay­check, being in charge of my own des­tiny is a chal­lenge for me.  I often describe it as lib­er­at­ing, excit­ing, fun and cre­ative, but also as fright­en­ing, feel­ing like a novice and not know­ing how to be suc­cess­ful, won­der­ing when and where my income will come from, and being on a per­pet­ual roller coaster ride. 

So why would I put myself through this? Because as a Boomer, my inten­tion is to keep on keep­ing on and con­tinue serv­ing the world in what­ever way I can express my gifts.  And when oppor­tu­ni­ties appear, I take advan­tage of them and fol­low that path to see where it leads.  So what­ever path you find your­self … → Read More: 4 Ways to Achieve the Golden Oscar in You

7 Ways to Get a Better Techno-Grade in the New Year

Today was the big day that I have been dread­ing — but when I saw the ad on TV this morn­ing for the smart phone I’ve been desir­ing – and it was $100 off, had a free blue tooth attach­ment, had a dis­count for turn­ing in my old phone and a 10% dis­count on the monthly pay­ment, I jumped into action.  Yes it is 6 days till Christ­mas and yes there are deals to be had, but when this one popped up on my news show this morn­ing I jumped in the car and sped to the store to do the deal before they ran out of phones.  Yes, there had been a line at 8AM of peo­ple who had seen the same ad and now it was 10AM!  But I made it in time.

It’s not like this was an impul­sive thing – I’ve only been limp­ing along with my reg­u­lar cell phone for 2 years past the usual time for a free upgrade.  My phone has been so bad that I’ve had to plug it into the wall or car con­tin­u­ally just to hold a charge long enough to make a call.  And the real rea­son for my … → Read More: 7 Ways to Get a Bet­ter Techno-Grade in the New Year

Coaching — The Perfect Work for Retiring Boomers Who Like to Help People

I have been lucky enough to dis­cover “life coach­ing” both as a client and now as a coach and coach trainer.  And what I really love about it — as a per­son who loves to help peo­ple and wants to keep work­ing pro­duc­tively until I drop — is I can do it eas­ily and effort­lessly at home and when­ever I choose.  Doesn’t get any bet­ter than that!  And I get paid to do it.

Here’s why you might want to con­sider doing this too.  Look around — unhealthy lifestyles abound and many are search­ing for help with:

Stay­ing on track with health goals Chang­ing pro­cras­ti­na­tion into action Exer­cis­ing more reg­u­larly Eat­ing health­ier Los­ing weight Reduc­ing stress lev­els Find­ing time to fit every­thing in And more!

 If you are a pro­fes­sional already work­ing with peo­ple on these issues, you may have noticed that telling them what to do hasn’t been work­ing.  Just like it doesn’t work when some­one tells you what to do!  Doesn’t feel  very  good  does it?

There is a bet­ter way.  Coach­ing com­mu­ni­ca­tion skills work dif­fer­ently  with much bet­ter results.  I know this is true because I have  coached sev­eral  hun­dred pro­fes­sion­als  over the past 6 years and they have made … → Read More: Coach­ing — The Per­fect Work for Retir­ing Boomers Who Like to Help People
