One of Those Weeks (133 seconds)

Well it’s October again and just like last October's Minute, I have topped myself and had one of those days- only this year it has been like one of those weeks..

To give a bit of context, my wife is in London and although it is only Tuesday night, let me give you the laundry list of occurrences during the last several days. 

Since Jeri left on Friday, I had the opportunity to chop up a tree in our yard because the limbs became too heavy and split it to it’s heart; tell my daughter, Sierra, that end tables are not for dragging on wood floors and that it is not a great idea to put a whole roll of toilet paper down the toilet; teach her how to wear big girl panties; hold her while she is throwing up, and clean up the aftermath. The icing on the cake, however, was Sunday night when I felt what I thought was a bug in my pants.  I ripped off my pants to find a mouse drop to the floor and scurry off to my bedroom.  Yes, this is a true story.

So, with having one of those weeks, I am learning two things.

First; a deeper level of appreciation for Jeri as well as all the single parents in the world who are raising children by themselves.

And second, the extreme importance of community.

My community has listened to me vent; made me meals; helped care for Sierra, and has sent me prayers and positive thoughts.

I can’t imagine not having community and I am realizing more and more my strengths and innate abilities in building communities with ease. 

Since last December I have been building a community of spiritually minded professionals called the Working Awareness Network (WAN). 

The group basically combines everything I have learned from leads groups, mastermind teams, and accountability systems.

Over the next couple months you will be hearing more about WAN and its progress.

Also, I thank you. You are in my community and knowing that professionals like you listen and are inspired by my message each Monday makes THOSE weeks easier.

Wishing You a Happy Monday,

Jason

Mental Aikido

If you are having a hard time keeping up with projects, email, and customer service, while trying to balance having a personal life and starting to feel like you're getting your butt kicked.  Then I recommend my 12-week coaching program for spiritually minded professionals.  You will learn some mental aikido and understand new ways to harness your focus.

You will learn some mental aikido, understand how to harness your energy, and become more focused on the things that are most important to you.

The cost is $1350 and usually qualifies as a business expense.  I offer a money back guarantee as my commitment to the value that this program will make a postive difference in both your business and personal growth.

I currently have two openings in October. 

Take a look at what a few past clients say about the program:

Jason Stein’s Coaching was an experience that exceeded my wildest expectations.  The guidance I received moved me forward in my professional goals, as well as my personal life. The tangible results of a job promotion with increased salary were secondary to gaining a deeper level of commitment to an inner life of peacefulness.  Jason used his skills of razor sharp clarity and structured support to draw forth my inner guidance that I can rely on long after my Coaching sessions are ended.  His Coaching also offered resources for continued support, an invaluable commitment to my long-term success.

– John Foster, Mentor, Friends of the Children

As a part time student in a mid-life career transition, I found myself
floundering in a sea of change, one foot in new – one foot stuck in
resistance. Trusting was my biggest obstacle to moving forward. Jason
guided me onto a path of listening to my heart, holding me gently yet firmly
accountable as I moved into creating a new trail of full time school and
part time work in order to step into my dream of training and motivating.
Jason’s insight, faith, and the combination of compassion, objectivity,
logic, and humor in his coaching style have given me the ability
to recognize and embrace my strengths, talents and true self.
