Do what you love and still pay the bills!

I started out, like most of us, as an employee. Then I became an entrepreneur and soon a business educator and business consultant.

I consulted with large corporations like Apple, Fujitsu America, and Pacific Bell, just before the feds broke up Ma Bell, but I found my greatest satisfaction working with small ventures.

Providing them with practical advice was, and still is, rewarding to me, but I started to see a troubling pattern: an awful lot of my clients—and colleagues and friends—were unhappy in their work.

I wanted to help.

Drawing on my longtime interest in personal growth strategies, Eastern philosophies, and educational theory, I spent several years developing a system I call Good Work Guidance™ that I have now provided to more than 500 individuals (and some couples in business together).

Good Work Guidance™ consists of this simple four-step process:

• Step 1. We focus on your personal life purpose and the goals and objectives implied by that purpose.
• Step 2. We clarify your challenges and opportunities and uncover your personal strengths and weaknesses.
• Step 3. We develop a plan of action that uses your strengths and compensates for your weaknesses to overcome your challenges and make the most of your opportunities.
• Step 4. You lay the foundation for ongoing right livelihood through the practice of:
  • Mindfulness
  • Simple Living
  • Self-reliance
  • Service to your community

Throughout, you receive:

• Ongoing coaching guidance

• Consulting or technical advice as needed

• Handouts as needed, including:

  • Practice exercises

  • Worksheets

  • Tip sheets and checklists

  • Bonus articles and essays
