Working Writer’s Coaching Program
By · Comments
If you’re a writer without a compass you might need Suzanne Lieurance – the Working Writer’s Coach to help you chart your course. Suzanne is one of the best coaches I’ve ever worked with even though my passion leans more toward speaking than writing. Let me tell you why I loved the Working Writer’s Coaching Program.
First, the Working Writer’s Coaching Program is a 12-week program. No slacking here just pure immersion into the business of becoming a working writer. Most freelancers or solopreneurs have a vision only for the outcome of their passion but rarely for the details of the daily business that leads to the outcome.
This is where Suzanne comes in. The 12-week intensive gives you the structure, the planning tools and the system you need to develop the habits required to become a working writer. Not sure where to find markets, how to develop a marketing plan and or how to write winning queries and cover letters–then invest in this program.
Second, you get Suzanne’s coaching. A skilled coach, mentor and well, butt-kicker in exactly the way you need a coach to be. She’s insightful, intelligent and passionate about helping others become profitable working writers. Suzanne is also a prolific and successful writer and children’s book author. In other-words she practices what she preaches.
If you’re a writer who has the desire to make a living from your passion then you must enroll in the Working Writer’s Coaching Program.

What’s Hiding in Your Mind?
By · Comments
Would you consider yourself to be a fearful person? Most people would probably answer no to that question, yet fear is one of the most common hindrances that people struggle with today. The reason for this discrepancy may surprise you: fear can easily disguise itself as seemingly logical beliefs, thoughts and feelings so you may not even realize it’s there.
Rather than using the word fear to describe their feelings, many people might choose words like doubt, concern, worry, anxiety, uncertainty, hesitation, apprehension, procrastination, distrust or unease.
Ultimately they mean the same thing as fear. There is a thought, feeling, belief, or possible outcome that makes you feel uncomfortable or threatened and you will instinctively avoid things that make you feel that way.
Here are some common fears that could be hiding in your mind:
Fear of Failure
If you have ever held back on a goal or avoided taking action that would lead to a positive outcome, you may have been fearful that you might fail. Fear of failure can be subtle because our minds can come up with endless excuses why it’s not a good time to take a risk right now, or how the odds don’t seem to be in our favor, and so on.
Fear of Success
It’s hard to believe that anyone could be afraid of success (isn’t success usually a good thing?) but it’s far more common than you might believe. Most often it’s not the success itself that people fear, but rather all of the responsibilities and uncertainties that come along with success. If you worry that you won’t be able to handle these things, you will resist putting yourself in a position where you would have to face them.
Fear of Rejection
Fear of rejection is usually related to low self-esteem, but may show up in subtle ways. You may lash out at others when a possible rejection is imminent; sabotage relationships so you can be the one who rejects the other person instead of them rejecting you; or you may simply withdraw from social interaction to avoid the possibility of being rejected at all.
Fear of Not Being Good Enough
This is another fear that is connected to self-esteem, and it often affects everything you do in life. You may avoid making changes to improve your life; settle for a dissatisfying job that pays less money than you are capable of earning; or continuously sabotage your goals. If you don’t believe you deserve to have better life circumstances you won’t allow yourself to create them.
Once you have identified one or more of these fears, you can begin diffusing them with mind and body techniques that will calm your emotions, relax your body and get your thoughts flowing in a positive direction again. For most people this will be an ongoing process because our minds become conditioned to respond to fear stimulus and it will seem to happen automatically for some time. However, getting into the habit of addressing the fear in new healthy ways should set a new pattern to minimize the conditioned responses and even eliminate them over time.

Law of Attraction Leaving You Lost?
By · Comments
Sometimes we need turbo power–that extra boost that propels us forward with velocity. When LOA left me feeling a bit flat, even though I was aware of how it could help me in all areas of my life, I knew it was time for a boost. That’s exactly what I found in Bob Proctor’s program “The 11 Forgotten Laws.” Think of this as Law of Attraction Part 2.
If you’re feeling the way I was then consider letting Bob Proctor and Mary Manin Morrissey coach you through the things that may be holding you back. You’ll have a cure for “stinkin’ thinking” and learn the secret of the “Stunning Prickly Nest.” Another turbo blast.
I believe that gratitude gives you the awareness to see things in a new light but I had no idea just how powerful it could it be until listening to the “Therapeutic Power of Gratitude” in The 11 Forgotten Laws. Give yourself this gift.
Self Growth – This Too Shall Pass
By · Comments
Today I am selling my deceased parents house. This was a retirement home for them–not a house I ever lived in. If there is an emotional connection to this closing it would only be because it wasn’t done sooner.
I’ll be glad to close the book on this saga–it wasn’t a happy series of experiences. Yet, it does cause a nagging feeling about some situations that could have been handled differently. Not regrets so much as evaluations from a different heart.
The more time passes the more such events (deaths, job losses, moves) become internal growth rings rather than external turmoil. Criticism folds into itself and evaporates leaving just a misty hint of what all the fuss was about. It’s time to go.
Rest in peace.
