Back in the late 70s/early 80s, I read in Psychology Today about Dr. Ira Progoff's Intensive Journal technique for accessing and managing your attitudes and beliefs in your subconscious mind. I learned from the examples in the article, and was able to extinguish a bad habit that was alarming me. I've signed up to take the 3-hour Introductory Presentation in Ellicott City, Maryland on June 3, 2012. See this website for details: http://www.intensivejournal.org/general/northeast_midAtlantic.php

The road to building a sustainable and profitable business can be challenging and complicated. And while this stops many aspiring entrepreneurs & freelancers in their overwhelmed tracks, the reality is that it's easier to actually get the business physically started, with fairly little risk and investment, and begin building traction from there. A couple tips for small biz newbies & skeptics. http://aspyresolutions.com/2012/01/5-smallbiz-essentials/

I run a relationship/marriage advice blog focused on engaged and newlywed couples. I used to provide couples counseling, but I'm beginning to believe that counseling at this stage is not very effective (the couples have rose-colored glasses and are preoccupied with the wedding, which I completely understand). I want to create an information product out of my services instead.
Are there any suggestions on topics to cover and ideas for marketing a product like this online?

So rather than relying on other or even my own opinion I still decided not to give up on my goals. Also, I am not being coached on this topic. Coaching isn't necessarily the right help for every circumstance.

Last night at around 3:00AM I at last finished the rough draft of my novel! It's a relief and exciting at the same time. I got the general idea about 18 months ago, inspired by several things. And I went through a dry spell of writing nothing in it for two months or so. Now I will put it away fro about three months, and this begin first revisions which I hope to have completed by October.

There's a lot in the blogosphere about the value of setting really audacious goals. I don't disagree, but I also know that big goals can spook you enough that you never get started. In this post, I offer a case study showing how one of my readers used a system I created to convert small wins (like talking to strangers) into BIG wins (like getting the attention of a NYC book agent). It's truly a fascinating and inspiring story. http://t.co/iN9GPxk

I know I'm awesome and can tackle pretty much anything technical if given the opportunity. But when things go wrong, I freeze up. I can only operate with a plan. When the plan fails, I can't do ANYTHING until a new plan is formed.

Last night I did an awesome webinar with Leo Babauta called "5 Shortcuts to Finding Your Passion." We talked about how to tell if your passion is career material or just a hobby, anti-passions and why you can't ignore them, and so much more! We also answered live questions. The recorded webinar is up on Zen Habits. Worth watching! http://zenhabits.net/passion-webinar/
