Exploding Entrepreneurship – Coaching for Entrepreneurs
Sometimes the answer is not a response to the question, but in finding the right question to ask. In a previous post, which included my answer to what The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy author, Douglas Adams, called “The Ultimate Question of Life the Universe and Everything,” I mentioned that we’d be revisiting the question, [...]
Procrastination, I explained, is not a brick wall. It’s a symptom of a brick wall. I mean, think about it – if you knew that moving forward was going to cause you to bang your head on a brick wall you’d put it off as long as possible, wouldn’t you?
Didn’t I just let a bright shiny thing derail my productivity for the day? After all, posting to the blog was on my list of “to-dos” and here it is nearly 9PM and I’m just now getting to it. Surely that isn’t responsible “life balance.”
Depends on how I tell the story, doesn’t it? Either I let myself get trapped into a tailspin of drama/trauma, free coaching and emotional drain. OR I was offered a completely no-risk opportunity to learn from someone else’s story.
I actually received TWO huge gifts from that bright, shiny thing.
I had an amazing workout with my fitness coach this morning. Actually, Kimberly is more of a “transformation coach” than a fitness coach. (That’s her on the left, of course.) She has a very interactive mind/body/spirit approach so our time together is a fabulous combination of hard physical activity (she’s teaching me to HIT things so [...]
I’ve heard people comment that technology is making the world “smaller” but really, it makes it possible for me to connect to more of the world and when I do it makes my world bigger. Whether or not it makes it better is up to me. It is up to me how I interpret my story – do I tell it with love or with hate, with acceptance and tolerance or with vengeance and resentment? It is up to me to connect to the stories of others and to listen long enough to find the ties that bind us together as human beings.
(Today’s quote is a new one – not yet on any card deck.) “Words that are UPlifting always get better results than those that are DOWNputting” While reading about tennis legend, Martina Navratilova I came across a story about one of her first tennis coaches. It seems that this coach was egging the young Martina [...]
Still cannot be forced to bloom. “Personal growth is not something to be forced but something to be nurtured and guided – an organic evolution of self. Plant yourself in fertile soil and welcome both the sunshine and the rain. The glory is in the bloom, but the essence is in the roots.” As a [...]
In the two years I have been coaching and teaching the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success from The Go-Giver by Bob Burg and John David Mann the most common comment I hear is “that book made me cry, it is EXACTLY how I want to live and do business.” The next thing I usually hear [...]
“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy” Thich Nhat Hanh Picture this; you stop for a cup of coffee, tired from a long day followed by a short night, stressed and in a hurry – you just need that cup of joe. [...]
It is always a treat to share the stage with speakers I admire. Last month I “double-dipped” on that treat when I presented “Igniting Your Light – Connecting Passion, Purpose and Presence” as the opening keynote for “Build Your Own Brand” featuring two of my heroes, Bob Burg and Scott Ginsberg. I was, as always, [...]
"I have personally been on the phone with Dixie when I had challenges in my business and when I had interpersonal challenges that affected my business. She is a wonderful, wonderful coach. She asks the tough questions, she draws out the information from you, and she helps you come up with your own solutions, which is what a coach really does. Dixie helps you bring out your effectiveness and I strongly encourage you to choose to be a part of one of her coaching programs."

"I have many teachers and mentors, but only one coach. Dixie is a class unto herself as a coach, as a muse, as an empowerer and as a fire starter. Because I work with Dixie, my writing is better, my thinking is clearer, my life is richer. Dixie is living proof of the need for human cloning - every entrepreneur needs a Dixie and there is only one."
-Scott Ginsberg, “The Nametag Guy” speaker, author Stick Yourself Out There, -Able and a dozen more
