One of the most helpful concepts I gained from reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris was his suggestion to go on a “Low Information Diet”.
We’re no longer in the Age of Information. I declare that we have officially entered the Age of Information-Overload.
Almost everyone I know seems to show signs of ADD and I [...]
I think overwhelm is in the air. Seems most of my business coaching clients are creating/experiencing some form of overwhelm lately. Breakdowns and challenges too. My running water was out for a week as our well pump wasn’t working. My girlfriend broke her collar bone in a nasty bike accident, etc. Sometimes life is just [...]
I work with most of my clients to support them in becoming more proactive.

Most [...]
I use iContact for managing my email list, sending out my newsletter, and creating sign-up boxes that can easily be added to my web page for my newsletter and teleclasses, etc.
I used to use Constant Contact. I liked them too, however, I switched to iContact because they offered Autoresponders, multiple list segments, and surveys without [...]
It seems like almost every small business owner I meet these days has at least mild ADD. In any case, focus seems to be missing for a lot of people.
Here are a few tricks to support focus…
First, plan each day, and make a very short list of 1-3 high priorities.
Second, use a post-it right [...]

I received a question by email from one of my business coaching clients who has been struggling to get enough clients in her business and has been confused about which marketing strategy to focus on.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, [...]

I believe everybody deserves a dose of bliss on a daily basis. In fact, I think it’s essential to good health as well as being one of the cornerstones of a fulfilling life.
Unfortunately, many people don’t give themselves this gift. They either don’t believe they deserve it deep down, or they are waiting [...]

I’m currently reading “The Irrational Entrepreneur – The Real Reason 9 of 10 Small Firms Fail & How Yours Can Flourish”, by Jon D. Lowry.

How much of your time gets eaten up every day by busy work that doesn’t really lead to any true progress in your business? Probably way too much. Are you getting at least two really important things done each day … things that will move your business or life forward in a powerful [...]
I’ve coached hundreds of business owners and other individuals seeking greater success in business and life. In the process I’ve learned that most people believe they will be happier when they are more “successful”. Unfortunately, this puts happiness in the future instead of the present, and happiness can only be experienced in the [...]
Before any action can take place, you have to answer the question – “What am I going to do next?” If you put off asking the question then you will put off taking action.
Creating a habit of asking this powerful question has helped my life and business coaching clients to end procrastination and get more [...]

Would you like to get more done in less time?
I am going to focus on one simple yet very powerful idea. It revolves around the question, “What’s the next step?” or “What’s the next action?”
Most of the time when you are procrastinating, spinning your wheels, or [...]
Dan Sullivan, founder of the Toronto-based Strategic Coach, has found that his clients fall roughly into two categories: those who are happy and fulfilled, and those who are stressed and dissatisfied. The main difference between these two groups is the following:
The people who are happy and fulfilled measure their progress by comparing where they are [...]
A business coaching client recently asked me, “Hey Ryan, Some days I feel super confident and on top of the world, and other days I feel doubt that takes over. What is the best way to get over self doubt?”
I like the question because this challenge is universal. We all face self doubt at times. [...]
I have noticed an obvious pattern in my work with hundreds of business and life coaching clients over the last five years – my clients who make the strongest commitment to their goals are far more successful than those who don’t. Commitment may be the most critical shortcut to success.
