Thanks a lot.

Anyway, I had that download thing happen to me last month, and I started working with one client this month, and even though I’m super happy this part of my life is FINALLY starting, however small, I’m not giving myself the pat on the back I deserve because I’m still working on my money stuff and finding my people. And, well, that’s what I meant when I said I find relief in reading that success takes time. I have time. Yay!

Thanks! :)

Oh, and my body had a sort of reaction, a good reaction, to the Dance of Shiva, so I’m going to poke around in that blog some more, and there’s a pretty good chance that I’ll be getting your Starter Kit soon. Hee hee! My body is excited just looking at that video.

I feel so freed from the tyranny of certification. THANK YOU!!!

Like you, I have much life-learned knowledge to share, and I am no longer afraid to share it because it isn’t “professionally approved”

Peace & Love

I understand what you mean about the word coach. I don’t much like “web designer” either. It just doesn’t feel right, but I still have to use it. Maybe one day that’ll change.

Thanks for sharing your lovely story. I love reading how people got started. I would have done a lot of things different at the beginning myself, but I don’t regret anything. I have before, but realized that it’s pointless because you can’t change what’s done already.

Anyway, if we had all the right answers and everything cleared out for us, life would be pretty boring, right? :)

Really, thank you.

I felt like a weirdo because I had a hard time getting the word coach past my teeth when telling people what I’m headed for next.

I feel like a weirdo when I don’t WANNA pick a niche, because I think it’s all tied together, but somebody tells me if I want to get successful at the c word I should define my niche and brand that baby.

Blech.

But I thought I was just being weird and finding a way to stay stuck by not wanting to fit into those boxes.

Did I say thanks for your ever-validating work?

So using the word coach (even if you’re explaining your own personal relationship to that word) is very useful. People google coaches. They hire coaches.

I got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more business after my business mentor (whom I refused to call my coach) told me to put a “coaching” tab on my site or to mention “coaching clients”.

In fact, I even had people tell me “Oh, I had no idea you DID that — I would have hired YOU if I thought you were a coach and instead I went with this other person”. So.

Nothing wrong with using a word that people are familiar with.

And then you can redefine for yourself what your own mix of coaching, love and advocacy is and talk about that.

Your right people will be all YAY TISHA because you are so completely wonderful, and then no one will care about what you call it either way. Does that help?

Anyway, great post! Stuff happens, you realize you’re a conduit for something kick-ass, you show up (even if that alternates with hiding) and then so does everyone else who needs what you’re channeling. Simple, beautiful, hard.

Inspirational–thank you.
