Catching Flies with Chopsticks!
Ever try to do it? Catch a fly with chopsticks? That's what self-employment
feels like sometimes! I know! I've been an entrepreneur for over 15 years;
sometimes successfully, sometimes chasing flies with my chopsticks!
You need Power to succeed as an entrepreneur!
"Power is your ability or capacity to
perform or act effectively. Power is your ability to do what it takes to create
your personal vision of success & happiness!"
To the entrepreneur this means you've got to develop your ability to do what it
takes to succeed and develop the courage to transform every challenge into
opportunity, every loss into a lesson and every adversity into success.
"You were terrific!
I was so excited by your presentation.... I
want to reach out, grab some people, shake them and tell them how important and
exciting this was!
"THANK YOU!!!!"
Geoff Lamden
President, Maine Association of Professional Consultants
Services for Entrepreneurs:
"I don't 'preach from the mountain,' I preach from the gutter! I long ago left
life as a disgruntled employee to become a 'gruntled' entrepreneur!
"Along the way I've learned how to handle the ups and downs, how to
stay positive in the face of adversity and how to turn disaster into
opportunity.
"I'll share everything I know with you, and everything I know starts
with developing Power!"
"Call me directly at 800-786-8502 to tell me how I can
best serve you in making your event a success!"

Practice: The Ultimate "Secret" of the Martial Arts...and Success in the
Real World!
A study was recently completed
that showed clearly that focused, mindful practice is the most important

of mindful practice with you in a practical format you'll apply to your

an opportunity to engage the process of perfection, then everything we do is
an act of self-perfection. This module is ideal for leadership and
