Your Business Logo and Color Scheme
My business logo and color scheme started one lovely spring day in my office, after two years of working with words and images. I purchased some rubber stamps and played with them. A logo emerged: simple, elegant, with the right feeling for my business. I took the ideas from the stamps and played with Photoshop on the computer until I had created an original busines

Consumer Magazines are Sometimes Disguised Ads
We all want to trust that what we read is true, authentic, and genuine, but often the printed word is backed up by paying sponsors who control the spin. For that reason, the magazine Consumer Reports came out many years ago, to provide trustworthy critiques of consumer products within the hype and bias. Even Consumer Reports has to fight to keep its own reputation a

Recently in an interview, Aaron Potts asked me about success. Immediately I thought of success as looking forward to Mondays. We are a society of "weekenders." One of the most popular catch phrases in the U.S. is "Thank God its Friday." I refer to this as the Friday-Generation syndrome. We live for the weekends and I have to wonder why? I love my Mondays. They exhilarate me! I think it really boils down to what we do for a living and how much we enjoy what we do. I remember Deepak Chopra once saying that most heart attacks occur at 9 am on Monday mornings. I don't think this is because we are a culture of masochists who just enjoy suffering. It is because we have not found our passion. No man who lives his life with a passion hates Mondays. You can quote me on that. So now the important part-how does one find their passion? Their place in the world? A couple of ways...

1) Look to your childhood. Children are innocent and their desires are often untainted by society's standards of what is correct. What is it that you enjoyed most as a child? For me, it was teaching. I took all my dolls and set up school. I didn't teach math and science though. I talked to them about life. I shared with them my theory on how when it rained I believed God was saying he loved me. I put my dolls into groups. I encouraged them to communicate openly with their fellow brethren. I was a born coach! My cousin loved bandaging up these same dolls. Her red marker would wreak havoc on Barbie, and then a mixture of bandages and dirt would cure her. Today my cousin is a nurse, and she loves her Mondays. Often it takes some time to dig up our childhood memories. We forget how much we loved art or fixing things, and the time looking back is well spent if it helps us find our passion.

2) Ignore Society. Back in the 1950's it was considered a disaster if a woman chose her career over family. Today women who choose to settle down versus bring home an income are criticized. You can't please everyone. Standards change all the time. Follow your passion, and let it take you where it will. My friend Anita chose to settle down and raise a family.

Physician, Use Your Archetype to Understand and Guide Your Professional Career Path
What is the significance of your having become a physician and how does it relate to your "destiny" or "soul path?"For many of coaching clients, the reason we are working together is because their "professional" life has taken a significant turn---or is about to. In other words, they are either: a) questionin

Corrugated Plastic and Returnable Packaging Will Improve Your Bottom Line

Many people state that since their material will never be returned why use something like corrugated plastic that costs two and three times as much? More often than not there are repeti

3) Journal-Writing has not only been scientifically proven to have healing properties, but it has also been unscientifically proven to create Aha! moments. Aha moments are when everything clicks. Your abstract passion takes concrete form. I tell my clients who are looking to switch jobs or careers to start off by keeping a journal. In the journal you can write about anything you enjoy-from gardening to scrapbooking. The only thing not allowed is rants about your current job or career. Many greats have found their true calling through the power of their pen.

Steven Spielberg, Martha Stewart, Donald Trump-what do they all have in common? They all found a square hole to fit their square peg.
