1). Thirty Minutes that Will Save Your Dream
Copyright 2006 Suzanne Falter-Barns
If you've got a dream you're intent on pursuing, chances are you're going to bog down at some point. That's just the way dreams are. In fact, there's a little known rule about this called the Second Rule of Thermodynamics, which states that sooner or later everything returns to chaos.
In other words, expect your dream to come crashing down around your ears periodically.
2). Coaching Creativity - 7 Lessons from Artists
Copyright 2006 Suzanne Falter-Barns
Three years ago, I was a frustrated, fed-up writer, sitting in a Starbucks in Times Square in tears. I'd gotten 27 rejections on my book - ironically enough, it was about how to live your dreams - and I was sure my own dream of being a successful author was dead. At that moment, a little voice whispered in my ear that I would only become a writer when, and if, I chose it.

8). What if You Have Too Many Brands?
Copyright 2006 Suzanne Falter-Barns
We recently got this query from a reader, T. T. "Mitch" Mitchell:
“… You mention that if a person provides more than one type of product or service they should have an additional website. However, if you're trying to brand your name or your business name, aren't you going to dilute the process by having an additional website for it?”
That’s a question I get a lot.
9). How to Leverage Your Intellectual Property for Maximum Profit
Copyright 2006 Suzanne Falter-Barns
I don't know about you, but I would like to "squeeze" as much potential (read "profits") out of every minute I work as possible.
If I create something once, I better use it in at least three different ways, or I consider it a waste of time.
Now this might mean different things to different people, but here is what it means to me:

10). How to Find Energy for Your Dream When You Work Full-Time
Copyright 2006 Suzanne Falter-Barns
A recent Canadian study of 1,100 employees, polled across North America, found that one-third loathe their jobs. That’s loathe, as in detest, hate and otherwise despise.

So you've gotten the coach training certification, made up your business cards, and started your web site. You've discovered your niche, and you have been marketing – aggressively even!
But still, no one's exactly beating a path to your door. Kind of make you wonder what you're doing wrong.
Chances are you're doing everything right.
13). The Power of Micro Marketing
Copyright 2006 Suzanne Falter-Barns
How well do you know your market? Like … really know them?
Take a moment and imagine a typical person in your market right now. What is she or he doing? Watching TV – and if so, what’s on? Or is she sitting at her desk, trying to figure out how to pay her bills? And agonizing? Or is he looking out the window, wondering where his own child is right now – the one who just moved away from home.
