Excuse ME!

Pardon me; forgive me; I didn't get around to it;  the judge doesn't like me anyhow;  it doesn't matter I didn't practice; my dog has never understood that anyhow; well, you know he's the wrong breed for that; she's too soft to be competitive...   the excuse list is long. Endless in fact.



And then there is the whole issue of motivation ... where does your motivation break down? Planning? Direction? Activation? Intensity? Continuation? Persistence?   Ways to get  back on track vary depending on where your challenges are  .. and we can work through and find solutions that will work for you!

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I wish my magic wand would get repaired and back from the shop - life would be so amazing and wonderful if I could just wave it around and some motivation would waft down on people like magic fairy dust ....

or heck even if I had a magic pill to just cut through excuses and get to work ... wouldn't that be awesome! I don't.

Sad eh? But the next best thing I can offer you is the course No More Excuses that I teach over at FDSA  Last time I looked there was one more Gold (working) spot left but silver had room, and bronze is unlimited ...  practice truly helps - and this course gives you lots of opportunities to select and rehearse the things that matter to you! There's lots of thinking,  processing, planning and reporting in the class ... but there are also lots of chuckles - and I can pretty much promise you  - you are NOT alone!



I am going to be a sneaky deaky and let you see the list of course lectures ... some are long and some are short ... but there is some MIND BLOWING science backing up some of the good stuff I share ... it's pretty likely more will get added, and things might move around - students often need things in slightly different orders class to class - and I'm nothing if not flexible and adaptable!
