Life-coach Yourself to Success

Overview

Are you satisfied with the way your life is going – personally and financially?

We often hear of people looking for an easy fix for their problems, but that’s rarely the answer.

Perhaps, like many others, you too are busy spending your time thinking about and working for other people - so what about yourself? Are you spending any time thinking about and planning your own future?

In this inspiring book, authors Neil Thomas and Barrie Pearson provide life-coaching techniques you can use to build a successful, fulfilling life for yourself. Unlike most coaching books, which are written by coaches themselves, Life-coach Yourself to Success has been written by two highly successful entrepreneurs who’ve actually followed and tested the advice they preach.

This book is a tool to help you learn how to put yourself first for a change, how to understand your strengths and weaknesses and how to build a blue-print for success in life that you can turn into a reality. You are the business you have inherited. You can be the best business you will ever get to manage.
