Written by: Laura Young

Article Overview: Curious about why someone would hire a life coach? Wondering if coaching is worth looking into for yourself? Here are a few reasons to consider looking further.

Top Ten Reasons To Work with a Life Coach for your Personal Development

1. You may be great at competing but are not so good at playing.

2. You care way too much about what others think.

3. You keep spending money on things you don't need and it hasn't brought you any closer to happiness.

4. The life you are living in your head looks nothing like the life the rest of us are watching you live.

5. You are bored/in a rut and your attempts to break your patterns are short-lived.

6. You are so tapped out that dealing with other people, even people you like, feels like a hassle. You suspect your priorities are messed up.

7. You feel like you would go crazy if you tried to just sit for a minute and watch ants...or a sunset...or kids playing...without multitasking.

8. You haven't laughed at yourself in a very long time.

9. You are not joyfully engaged in your life. You just aren't that much fun to be around but you're too busy to figure out what needs to change.

10. You get so caught up in "what if" that you end up not doing anything.

And 2 bonus reasons!

11. You keep asking for advice but what you really want is permission.

12. You want to feel delightfully spent and happy when you die!

Post subject: Too successful for a mate? - That was an interesting article, Shri! Most of the women I know who continue to be single have some type of self limiting behavior which interferes with them either meeting or attracting the perfect mate for them. They are incredible and talented women, they just haven't set themselves up for relationship success. I know there are men who may be intimidated, but there are also men who aren't. Some men are attracted to smart women! My advice to these women would be to focus on creating the right environment for a relationship to happen. This would be a great time to hire a Life Coach or Relationship Coach. Taking action to get ready for a relationship doesn't mean having to be aggressive in finding a man. It's more subtle. If you don't make room for a man in your life, you might just squeeze out the opportunity before he gets to you. As well, you may be sending off all the wrong signals without realizing it. Seriously, I don't think successful women are off the proverbial "good wife material list". However, if you think yourself off of it then don't be surprised if you fulfill your own prophecy.

Re: what position to request? - Hi Michael, Great suggestion from David, or you could try something around a design consultancy, How about Website Design Consultant, Design and Development Manager, Website Support and Development Manager or maybe Internet Business Development Consultant.

The Second Life Platform - Greetings! I'm not sure how many of you have heard of or are sensitive to Second Life and its related entities. However, Second Life is a fantastic platform to mimmick real life business operations in a real currency based economy. There are plenty of successful stories for creative individuals, but I'd highly suggest doing your research and appreciating Second Life for what it is, and what it isn't.
