Change, everyone wants something to change. The current President was voted in on a platform of change. Almost everyone wants someone, a leader to create positive change in our country and world. Fingers are pointing everywhere, YOU create the change I want! Something is missing and that is personal responsibility. For our country and world to change, each individual has to change. Each of us has to step up and be a leader in our own lives and in our own households. No outside influence can inflict change upon us, we need to be our own change agent for things to improve. If you want your economy to improve you need to do something about it on your own. You need to take charge of your life and your outcomes. It may be easy to pout and blame the economy for your situation, but you in some way you created the situation, and you in some way put our nation and world in the situation it is in. You need to change your habits, your beliefs, your perspective and your attitude for your well being and for your improved lifestyle, no one else can hand it to you. Where do you start?

Those days are long gone for me, as the exterior areas of the Disneyland Hotel were remodeled and now if you want to roam you go to Downtown Disney and pay a parking fee.

Most of these Orange County Cali girls are not from California at all, but transplanted there, managed to marry some rich guy who can’t see past their boob jobs to notice how awful they treat people. I mean wouldn’t an intelligent man who is able to produce such high incomes be able to see that while they are working hard, their wife is working hard to keep them broke and acts like a spoiled, entitled teen?

So Intentional Life Design is about your lifestyle, your business, and who you want to become. The fascinating thing about coaching is that it really is not about acheiving a specific goal. That is what it appears to be about and the reason many come to coaching in the first place, but clients stay because they are gaining support, action steps, and resources to help them become who they want to be. As you can see coaching is a soulful journey of self evolution. Intentional Life Design is knowing or getting to know who you are, what you want out of life, creating a plan to get there and then support as you follow the plan. Believe it or not it is possible to go from being homeless to multi-millionaire if you have the plan and the support. It is a matter of assessing where you are at now,...
