Evening for Practitioners ::: The Three Necessary Components | Success is not Magic ::: It is ...

Jason McClain — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 07:00:00 +0100

There are only a few components successful coaches and practitioners must incorporate into their practice to turn it into a business. At the same time, you can be “doing” these things, and still be unsuccessful unless you have the necessary techniques and ethical tactics incorporated into the components.

Not just the “how” but “how specifically”.

Motivation | Style, Structure, and Tasty Bite-Sized Morsels

Jason McClain — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 11:34:00 +0100

One of the main challenges that small business people face—particularly solo practitioners or “solo-preneurs” in general--is the problem and the art of motivating oneself.

You are your own boss. If you have employees, then the game may be a little different for you as you have people depending on you. However, if it is just you, there are often no external forces telling you that you must do any particular “thing”. There are certainly exceptionRead More...

The Need for Approval | Ego | Your Self-Worth is a Settled Matter

Jason McClain — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 08:00:00 +0100

[Originally written in August 2008]

Many people have read this piece and encouraged me to post it publicly. So, by popular demand... It is an email I posted to a client near the end of their completion of the Personal Evolution Program, and in it I address a need for approval, ego development, the purpose and motivation for personal evolution...and the distinction between self-worth and value, and more... Your self-worth is a settled matter if you will accept it as such. Enjoy.

An Amazing Woman and a Great Cause | An Open Letter to Your Generosity

Jason McClain — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 09:16:43 +0100

Given the generosity of this Community and your desire to good in the world, some of you may be wondering which cause you should contribute to this Holiday Season.

Yet, we are left with a conundrum :::

With large organizations, regardless of their stated principles, there is always a challenge
dealing with overhead, administrative costs, and general efficiency of your donations.

Sadly, this makes many of us hesitant to give. And rightly so.

Your Success Equation | Thoughts Action Will | Part 3 ::: Will

Jason McClain — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 04:05:23 +0100

Part 1 is here. Part 2 is forthcoming.

The final variable in your personal equation for success is Will. The Will To Carry It Through.

Even if your thoughts are aligned, your actions directed appropriately, and all other factors are in alignment and in support of your desired outcomes, if you lack the will to carry it through you will fail. AND you will fail in the worst way—as a result of your lack of will; something entirely under your control and an aspecRead More...

Thoughts + Action + Will = Your Dream/Vision Becoming a Reality

There is much discussion about what it takes to be successful—and what it takes to be an entrepreneur. What it takes to succeed at owning your own business. Or stated differently, what it takes to “manifest” your vision in the world.

And while many people try to emulate personalities, rather than systems—which is a sure-fire way to fail—and there are certainly tangible, unRead More...

Sustainability of Change for Your Clients | Financial Sustainability for You

How to create compelling packages for your clients.

"The most striking feature of the perennial philosophy/psychology is that it presents being and consciousness as a holarchy of dimensional levels, moving from the lowest, densest, and most fragmentary realms to the highest, subtlest, and most unitary ones." --Ken Wilber

Precision Practitioners | What Distinguishes a True Master

Jason McClain — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:27:27 +0100

Often people ask me what separates a “Practitioner” from a “Master Practitioner”. Or what separates a “good” practitioner, from a “great” practitioner from an “extraordinary” practitioner. It is a good question, and one deserving of answers.

From a technical standpoint as well as a practical standpoint, there are several criteria that filter these levels, and the piece of paper upon which their certification is printRead More...
