Who is my ideal client?

Dear readers,

you might notice that the site title has changed and that it now ends with “young women“. Indeed!

Over the course of these last two years I have coached all kinds of clients. All ages, all genders, it didn’t matter much to me because I can work with anyone. However, slowly but surely a feeling has emerged in me. I realized that the clients I’m most excited to work with are usually young women of ages 18-25 years old. That’s because I identify with them the most, being a young woman myself. Now in my late twenties (I’m about to turn 29 on August 7th, thank you!!), I remember that struggle of having to find my own place in the world with no one really to guide me or help me. I love being that guiding light for other young women.

So there it is.

Please spread the word. Tell young women in your life that I’m offering this service, that it will help them become empowered (confident, established, famous, drop dead gorgeous, all those things we women want)… and if you are a young woman, you need to know that I’m brilliant at what I do, and that I can help you get there. Where? That secret place you want to go in life that maybe no one knows yet because you don’t have the confidence to even speak the words. See, I know you. So come work with me.

Kisses,

Len

And we’re back…

K&H was down for a while.  It feels great to be back, with a brand new layout. I’m amazed that I was able to figure out what was wrong before (all my links were not working) and I’m not really a techie, but when you follow your inner guidance things happen…

What’s new with me you ask?

I live in San Jose now! I just finished my Spring semester at SJCC, transferring to SJSU this Fall. (Yes, I decided to go back to school mostly because after many years I kind of missed it.) My big plan for this summer is to write at least one book. I’m passionate about my Inner Narcissist project (see InnerNarcissist.com) and a few others.

I’m still coaching and always welcoming new clients, although writing will be my first priority for a while.

Send me an email to tell me how you are doing. I also want to thank all my current clients for being so wonderful and such a gift to me! You are the reason I do what I do.

Kisses,

For Life Coaches: Is Life Coaching No Longer Fun For You?

Many life coaches are terribly burned out on life coaching and afraid to admit it! Raise your hand if you’re experiencing this? Yes, you!

What started off as a promising career where you thought (and perhaps occasionally did) that you would have tons of fun and that you’d make tons of money, has spiraled into a yucky marketing/networking/etc that didn’t bring you any clients and even unsatisfying sessions with client(s) you once enjoyed. Financially, you’re no better than you were a year ago or 5 years ago! And now you’re just tired, so tired of it all. And yet, you know you love coaching in some primal way. So what to do?

The truth is that you have to, and crave to, get your mojo back, the excitement and freshness, but you can’t do it if you aren’t willing to STEP OUT for a while.

1. If it’s not fun anymore, take a vacation from coaching! Do something else for a while. Stop coaching!

Seriously, tell your clients that you are taking a vacation from coaching and are not sure when you’ll coach them again. Believe it or not, your clients will be that much more impressed with you. When you get back, you’ll both be fresh again.

If you still want to coach a little bit, tell your clients that you are raising your fee by 100%. That way you can weed out the clients who are willing to stick with you and pay you more. A lot of the burn out that we coaches experience is because we are not paid nearly enough for the amount of energy we put into our coaching. This is a great way to appreciate yourself more, and it sends a great message to others.

Get a regular job or go back to school to support yourself. It’s ok to go back to 9-5, even if you promised yourself you never would. A big part of what made life coaching so exciting is the promise that you will be self-employed and enjoying a relaxing schedule of your own making. But is that a reality or are you constantly worried about money? If it’s not, just admit it and realize that you’ll get there one day. Now is the time for something else. See #2.

2. What is fun for you? What’s fresh?

It’s MOST important to move on to doing what’s purely fun for you without any strings attached. Be kidlike and explore new options!

Whatever your budget, you will find fun things to do and think about if you direct yourself in that direction.

This is the time to grow and discover a new you. See #3.

3. Who do you want to become?

Write out some adjectives describing people you truly admire in almost that envious sort of way. Not admire like “Oh they are a good person” but admire as in “Man, I wish I was like her/him. They rock!”

Now, answer this question: How can I become that kind of energy? See what comes up for you.

Example: Maybe you’ll discover you want to take better care of your physical appearance because beauty inspires you. You can get excited about that and start doing research about how to go about it. You’ll see how easy it is to come up with moving ideas.

You’ll discover that you didn’t loose your joy for life after all. You still know how to be happy!

I hope this article has helped you! You’ll know when the right time is to go back to coaching because you will just HAVE to!!

Kisses,

Wise Quotes

Here are some quotes for you to ponder. Some came from “real” people, some from imaginary characters, and others from Non-Physical entities.

Abraham - “Your action is responsible for but a minuscule part of what comes to you. Your thoughts and words (words are thoughts articulated) are the reason your life unfolds as it does.”

Abraham Lincoln - “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”

Anais Nin – “Dreams are necessary to life.”

Bashar – “You’ll know what you need to know when you need to know it.”

Bo Bennett – “A single question can be more influential than a thousand statements.”

Brooke Burke – “I think you just have to focus on what you want to do and not spend too much time worrying about the competition. Do the best job you can and wait for the right opportunity.”

Buddha – “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

Donald Trump – “As long as you are going to be thinking anyway, think big.”

Dr. Seuss – “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”

Eleanor Roosevelt – “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Goethe – “Whatever you can do or dream you can – begin it! Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”

High Aldwin (from “Willow“) – “Magic is the bloodstream of the universe. Forget all you know, or think you know. All that you require is your intuition.”

John Quincy Adams – “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

Patanjali – “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds; your mind transcends limitations; your consciousness expands in every direction; and you find yourself in a great, new and wonderful world.  Dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.” 

Robert F. Kennedy – “Some people see things as they are and say why? I dream things that never were and say why not?”

Rumi – “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”
