April 10, 2017 by Kate Larsen Leave a Comment

If you’re not much of a reader or prefer learning in an audio format, you might really enjoy listening to me share the article published in the Jan/Feb. issue of Experience Life Magazine titled, “Lessons From A Life Coach.” Reader feedback was strong and positive enough for us to post a digital audio version for you […]

Principle 1: Definiteness of Purpose Starts with Who You Want to BE

November 11, 2012 by Kate Larsen 1 Comment

In this first principle, Napoleon Hill says to make up your mind and “start today to go after it. Do it now!” He may have even unknowingly inspired Nike’s greatest ad slogan, “Just do it!” He closes this principle by saying, “Successful people move on their own initiative but they know where they are going before […]

I’m baaaack! After an 18 month hiatus, I am back to writing my blogs. I have not been dormant though. And, you will benefit from my absence.

There are four consistent things in life. You’ve heard of them; birth, death, taxes and change. The truth is, day-to-day everything I do is tied to helping and encouraging people to change. With the caveat, to make change that is sustainable. In all likelihood, you’ve got the same challenge. I am an avid reader, and realize not everybody gets as jazzed about new books as I do. However, I think I’ve found a winner that you will love.

Watch How You Spend Your Time

January 23, 2010 by Kate Larsen Leave a Comment

I had coffee with a friend this morning who shared the agonizing difficulties in staying with a job that used to bring joy and now only brings frustration and disappointment. She acknowledged fear has been playing a big part in her staying with a job that is draining the life out of her. As she was describing her situation a quote from Carl Sandburg came to mind, “Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.”
