<h3><strong>You Need A Hobby!</strong></h3>
<p>by Darryl L. Mobley</p>
<p><strong>Do you have a hobby that you love? One that consumes you?</strong> I certainly hope so.</p>
<p>One of the subscribers to my <strong>Success eNewsletter</strong> (Jim W. from <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/GUITAR-MAN250X329-113x150.jpg" alt="GUITAR-MAN250X329" title="GUITAR-MAN250X329" width="113" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1278" />Tennessee) sent me information on his hobby. I loved his stories and the photos. Jim collects, re-tools, and races Mustangs. His hobby caused him to meet his wife of 40+ years, meet folks who have become friends, bond with younger members of his family, and travel. He tells me that his car hobby has even kept him young! That&#8217;s good stuff. <strong>[CLICK THE <U>CONTINUE READING</U> LINK TO SEE MY LIST OF 214 HOBBIES>>></strong><span id="more-1275"></span></p>
<p>Jim closed his letter to me with this: "Mustangs, and the people who love them, are two of my favorite parts of life! Regarding my hobby -- I live it and love it. I hope that everyone can find something similar that they love and are passionate about, and live it, too!"</p>
<p>Wow! [Thanks Jim!!!]</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my question to you: <strong>What&#8217;s Your Hobby?</strong></p>
<p>Here are some of the <u>benefits of having your own wonderful hobby obsession:</u></p>
<p><strong><font color=purple>1. It is an important aspect of having a well-balanced life.</font color=purple></p>
<p>2. Because it is something that you enjoy and do voluntarily, you will become happy<img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/CAMERA-HOBBY250X185.jpg" alt="CAMERA-HOBBY250X185" title="CAMERA-HOBBY250X185" width="250" height="185" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1279" /> every time that you find yourself working on your hobby.</p>
<p><font color=purple>3. A hobby will challenge your thinking, and strengthen you mentally.</font color=purple></p>
<p>4. You become better at managing your time (so that you can get to your hobby).</p>
<p><font color=purple>5. Having a hobby will calm you.</font color=purple></p>
<p>6. You will never be caught bored and with nothing to do. Your hobby will always be there to fill your free time.</strong></p>
<p>Your hobby can be anything that you LOVE to do. It doesn&#8217;t have to be expensive or take away from other important parts of your life. When you find the hobby that is <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/FISHING-MAN250X167.jpg" alt="FISHING-MAN250X167" title="FISHING-MAN250X167" width="250" height="167" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1280" />right for you, you will find it to be the perfect friend, ready to be picked up whenever you have a chance.</p>
<p>So again I ask: <strong>What&#8217;s Your Hobby?</strong></p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have a hobby or you are looking for another one – <strong>I have listed below 214  hobbies that you should look over and choose from</strong>.  You are bound to find some new hobbies that get your blood racing.</p>
<p><strong>By the way &#8211; send me information and photos on you and your life, your hobbies, and your magnificent obsessions. Email it to Hobbies@CoachMobley.com . Include your full name and any other interesting tidbits I should know.</strong></p>
<p><font color=red>LOOK BELOW FOR THE COMPLETE LIST OF HOBBY IDEAS.</font color=red><br />

We&#8217;ve come to a point where <u>there&#8217;s no animosity and we&#8217;ve both been able to find true forgiveness</u> for ourselves. </p>
<p>I am curious to know if you ever have time to meet in person with couples if they come to a point where they need help in the process.  I know you&#8217;re very busy, but thought I&#8217;d ask. </p>
<p>We&#8217;re both <strong>extremely impressed with your wisdom, approach and how helpful your materials are</strong>.  We&#8217;re putting our trust in you and your knowledge, help &#038; skills (thru your<u> 100 Worst Mistakes</u> program) to pull us completely back to the loving &#038; caring marriage that we once had&#8230;and we both feel this is the first time we&#8217;ve found something that we know will work for us.  We&#8217;re in it to win it ALL!</p>
<p>Thank you again!”</p>

<h2>Happy Mother’s Day</h2>
<p><center>
<p style="margin-bottom:5px;"></p>
<h3>When Mom&#8217;s Happy &#8211; Everybody&#8217;s Happy</h3>
<p></center></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">
<p> by Darryl L. Mobley</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">
<p>Yes. I know. <u>You are feeling tons of pressure right about now because you need to pull off this whole Mother’s Day thing</u>. Every single year the holiday pops up. The TV Ads make it so that your one-and-only is on high-alert. And the peer pressure is intense, if only because “Mr. Perfect Husband” down the street is so darn creative!</p>
<p>But – I’ve got your back because <u>this is a game you must play to win</u>. The great day is right around the corner, which means you don’t have much time. So, let’s cut to the chase. A mother&#8217;s love is one of the most powerful forces in this <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/roses.jpg" alt="roses" title="roses" width="248" height="261" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1138" />world. I’ve got 48 ways to celebrate her love this Mother&#8217;s Day. Pick 1, 2 or more ways to make this Mother&#8217;s Day extra special for your wife, mom, girlfriend, or other love  of your life. </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:5px;">
<p><strong>Drum roll please. Here They Are!</strong><span id="more-1137"></span></p>
<p><strong><br />
1. Create a Memory Basket. Fill the basket with slips of paper, each detailing a memory you, your siblings, and your Mother have shared. Give her the basket and have all of the family members sitting around her as she reads each memory slip.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
2. Send Flowers! When you send flowers you send two gifts: the flowers themselves, and the moment they arrive. There&#8217;s the knock at the door or the call from the front desk, &#8220;Flower delivery for you.&#8221; And the next thing that happens is that your Mom&#8217;s heart races with delight as she receives her flowers. </font color=crimson></p>
<h3><center>Crab &#038; Lobster Tea Sandwich</h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>3. I have been called a &#8220;Guy&#8217;s Guy,&#8221; but I want you to give Mom a tea party. Invite family as well as friends who are close to your Mom. Prepare some super-sweetened iced tea or flavored hot tea and serve my world-famous, not to be missed, will-make-you-toes-curl-they-are-so-good tea sandwiches (see my recipe below) and cookies. By the way, I don&#8217;t believe in those really small tea sandwiches. You&#8217;ll see my trimming instructions below. </p>
<h4>Darryl&#8217;s Tasty Crab &#038; Lobster Tea Sandwich Recipe </h4>
<p>1/4 cup finely chopped chives<br />
3/4-cup soft butter or cream cheese<br />
20 slices of bread of your choice (I suggest wheat or sourdough)<br />
1/2-cup mayonnaise<br />
2 cups finely chopped crab and lobster<br />
1 tablespoon lemon juice<br />
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish (optional)<br />
Salt and pepper to taste</p>
<p><img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/crab-lobster-sandwich-240x300.jpg" alt="crab-lobster sandwich" title="crab-lobster sandwich" width="240" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1143" />Trim the crust off of the bread. Combine the chives and butter and spread this mixture onto 1 side of 10 slices of bread. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl, and then spread the mixture over the other 10 bread slices. Top with the other 10 slices, and cut in half. Makes 20 tea sandwiches.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
4. Make Mom famous. Record you and the rest of the family and friends saying what they love about Mom. Upload this video to YouTube.com and the entire world will know how great your Mom is.<br />

<p>5. Take Mom out to the mall for some shopping.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
6. Tell Mom to sleep in. If need be, get a friend to take the kids for one night so that she can get those extra zzzzzzs.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>7. Get some of your favorite photos from back through the years and create a photo collage highlighting the special moments that your Mom will appreciate. </p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
8. Get Mom some delicious chocolates.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>9. Okay, okay. Get Mom jewelry. </p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
10. Spring for a special cruise or other comfortable vacation for Mom.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>11. Spend the entire day with Mom. </p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
<img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/gondola.jpg" alt="gondola" title="gondola" width="248" height="191" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1144" />12. If your Mother likes to travel, I suggest you take her to Venice for a ride on a Gondola. She will treasure the experience forever.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>13. Tell Mom to read for fun. Stack up all the magazines she&#8217;s let back up for the past several months and just let her read!</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
14. Take Mom out for breakfast. As much as I think that making breakfast with my kids for my wife is a great thing &#8212; we always leave the kitchen less-than-Mom-worthy when we&#8217;ve finished. Plus, are my kids really making pancakes that taste good? (I refuse to answer this question!) Let&#8217;s just say we can cut out the hassle and get the quality by taking Mom out for breakfast. Be it upscale or Denny&#8217;s or Roscoe&#8217;s Grits and Waffles &#8211; it&#8217;s all good!<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>15. Take Mom on a walk with your kids.</p>
<h3><center>Be Creative (or just pick from this list!) </h3>
<p></center></p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
16. Hug your Mom for a Really Long Time &#8211; What I&#8217;m talking about here is taking a Moment to give your Mom one of those really deep hugs where you hold and squeeze them until they say stop. While you are holding them, tell them how fortunate you are to have her as your Mom. Hug her several times throughout the day.<br />

<p>17. Create a Memory Video. Record members of the family detailing memories they have of Mom. Present the DVD to Mom and have all of the family members sitting around her as she watches this walk down memory lane.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
18. Write a letter to your children about how being their parent has enriched you. Save these letters in a special journal or album to give to your children when they become parents themselves.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>19. Spend some time looking through your scrapbooks and reflecting on the bounty of love that comes to you via family and maternal love.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
20. Hold a 3-way conference call with your sibling(s) and your Mom and sing a special (written by you) in celebration of Mother&#8217;s Day song.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>21. Write a letter to your Mom that recounts something your Mom did for you that helped you for the rest of your life (or for just that day).</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
22. Host a Mother&#8217;s Day party for your Mom and her friends who are Moms.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>23. [For Mom to do] Journal Your Motherhood Journey &#8211; You don&#8217;t have to be a professional to write a few thoughts about all the things you&#8217;re grateful for as a Mother. Do a list of what&#8217;s great about being a Mom. I like lists. As an example, you could start with: A is for Athletics &#8211; You could write about all the weekday afternoons, mornings and weekends you spend driving your kid(s) back and forth from their sports practice. C is for Cousins &#8211; as in you are not sure that you trust your child with their cousins. Hey! You know what I&#8217;m talking about!</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
24. [For Mom to do] Time for Mom&#8217;s Adventure Stories. I still remember the first time my kids asked me to, &#8220;Tell us an Adventure Story!&#8221; They told me that my stories of my childhood, my work-life, my cousins, my sports experiences, my vacations, them as little kids, my time in the military, etc. &#8211; were Adventure Stories. And they loved them! Give it a shot yourself.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>25. [For Mom to do] Give Thanks for being a Mother!</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
26. Bake cookies with and for Mom.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>27. Take Mom to the beach and collect seashells.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
28. Plant a flower garden with Mom.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>

<p>29. Play a board game with Mom. This is especially great to do with your kids and Mom.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
30. Go out dancing with Mom.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>31. Watch a funny movie with Mom.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
32. Take a walk around the block or in the park with Mom.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<h3><center>Your Mom will be the envy of the neighborhood! </h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>33. Trace your kid&#8217;s hands on pieces of paper. Cut out the outline of the hands. <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/flower-funnyweb.jpg" alt="flower-funnyweb" title="flower-funnyweb" width="250" height="375" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1145" />Then take a 3-foot long piece of string and attach each end to one of the hand cutouts. On one hand write the word &#8220;Mom.&#8221; On the other hand write the words, &#8220;I Love You This Much!&#8221; Send to Mom or give to her. She&#8217;ll keep this forever. </p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
34. Create a memory book. Get copies of family photos and write captions to accompany them. Then have each family member and friend-of-Mom write a special letter to be placed in the book.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>35. Make Mom her favorite meal. Mom usually spends a lot of time cooking and baking for others (you know who you are), but she doesn&#8217;t often get a chance to be waited on. This Mother&#8217;s Day, surprise Mom by &#8220;burning&#8221; her favorite dish. And YOU do the dishes!</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
36. Give Mom a coupon book (that you make) full of things she will love to do. She can redeem them for a date at the movies, a day at the spa, a day not doing the dishes, or anything else that she would enjoy.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>37. Host a Mom-movie-thon. Get DVDs of Mom&#8217;s favorite movies and set her up for an afternoon/evening with her favorite snacks and beverages.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
38. Clean the house. Get Mom away from the house on a bogus trip with a family or friend. Then clean the house (or hire someone else to do so). She will be surprised and thrilled to come home to cleaned everything!<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>39. Take a photo of everyone in the family. Get the photo supersized and framed. Then give it to Mom as a gigantic surprised. </p>

<font color=crimson></p>
<p>40. Take Mom on a Picnic.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<h3><center>The Genius Is In Your Personal Touch</h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>41. Update Mom&#8217;s Wardrobe. My advice: Hit the stores with a personal shopper and let Mom go to town.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
42. Update Mom&#8217;s Room. My advice: Hit the home accessory stores and load up on pillows, and other stuff that will freshen up Mom&#8217;s favorite room.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>43. Tell Mom &#8220;Happy Mother&#8217;s Day!&#8221; first thing in the morning. Don&#8217;t wait. </p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
44. Get Mom a bouquet of 100 flowers. The more, the better. This is kind of a repeat of number 2 &#8211; but, it&#8217;s worth it.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>45. Make Mom an oversized Mother&#8217;s Day card using materials found at the department or office wares store. My kids and I did this a few years ago and my Mother still has the card out in her living room where every visitor can see it!</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
46. Make a quilt memento. Get pieces of scrap fabric from around the house and the fabric store. Each member of the family gets a different-looking piece of fabric. Sew the pieces together (or get then sewn by a professional). Ask each member of the family to sign their quilt piece with a special message to Mom. Kids can make their handprints in ink on their piece. Make sure that you place the date on the quilt, as this will be a keepsake for generations. You may also want to get the quilt placed in a frame.<br />
</font color=crimson></p>
<p>47. This Mother&#8217;s Day, treat Mom to breakfast in bed. Serve her donuts, fruit slices, and juice on a tray along with some hand picked flowers and small gifts from everyone in the family.</p>
<p><font color=crimson><br />
48. Tell Mom that you love her. This seemingly small act will have the biggest impact on dear old Mom.<br />

<p><strong>You Get One Life. Live It!</strong><br />
By Darryl L. Mobley</p>
<p>Summer is right around the corner. I know this because my kids have taken to reminding me of the exciting possibilities of the no-school season <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/snake-in-hand-web-200x300.jpg" alt="snake-in-hand-web" title="snake-in-hand-web" width="200" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1046" />every single day. And to be honest, I still hold a special spot in my heart for the season. I remember playing sports all day with my buddies, going out early in the morning with an empty burlap bag and my dog, and <strong>returning at dusk with a bag full of wild snakes (some poisonous)</strong> and turtles; climbing to roof tops of old buildings and <strong>parachuting with bed sheets</strong>; and digging a tunnel &#8211; with my friends &#8211; that was bigger than my bedroom. <strong>Creative?</strong> Yes. <strong>Dangerous? </strong>We didn’t think about that. <strong>Fun?</strong> Absolutely! How did we ever do without cell phones, Ipods, staged play-dates, video games, birthday gifts to every kid attending the birthday party, minivans, or Evite? <strong>Anyway…</strong><span id="more-1043"></span></p>
<p>Every parent has heard their kids say – with the incredible freedom of Summer all around – <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m bored!&#8221;</strong> As a life and executive coach, I find that every <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/boy-on-pier-web-199x300.jpg" alt="boy-on-pier-web" title="boy-on-pier-web" width="199" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1047" />Summer I am asked by my clients who are parents to tell them what they should do to keep their kids active, engaged and not bored during the greatest three months of the year (for kids).<br />
<strong><br />
Never Again During The Summer Hear Your Kids Say, &#8220;I&#8217;m Bored!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>You know how it works. Your children are excited about the upcoming Summer as the school year comes to a close. Then, for the first week or <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/soccerball-web-150x99.jpg" alt="soccerball-web" title="soccerball-web" width="150" height="99" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1048" />so they are all fired up and balls of energy. Then, in short order, they run out of energy and things to do. And you hear the whine, <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m bored,&#8221;</strong> and <strong>&#8220;What should I do?&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>Forget the kids for just a moment:<strong> Your Summer has just turned ugly.</strong></p>
<p>First of all, let me say that it is easy for kids to get bored during the Summer because <strong>they have<img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/girl-in-water-swirling-hair.jpg" alt="girl-in-water-swirling-hair" title="girl-in-water-swirling-hair" width="250" height="166" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1049" /> so much freedom</strong>. But c<strong>hildhood freedom often becomes the strongest of all chains; a slave master who uses mind-numbing boredom as punishment</strong>. My study has shown that <u>kids do not need unfettered freedom. Kids need structure</u> in order to grow and feel fulfilled. </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s my simple <strong>3-step process for eliminating your child&#8217;s <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/crab-on-beach-web.jpg" alt="crab-on-beach-web" title="crab-on-beach-web" width="250" height="166" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1050" />boredom</strong> during the Summer months.</p>
<h4>Step 1</h4>
<p>You should sit down with your kids before the school-is-out-for-the-Summer season hits and write a list of their GOALS for the Summer. <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/football-boys-getting-water.jpg" alt="football-boys-getting-water" title="football-boys-getting-water" width="250" height="166" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1051" />Setting goals is the most important step you can take to keep your child from getting bored during the Summer. Ask your kid these questions (and have them write down the answers):</p>
<p>- What new sports do you want to learn?<br />
- What new challenges do you want <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/toddler-boy-in-water-web.jpg" alt="toddler-boy-in-water-web" title="toddler-boy-in-water-web" width="250" height="185" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1052" />to tackle?<br />
- What new books do you want to read?<br />
- What new sights do you want to see?<br />
- What new skills do you want to learn?<br />
- What area(s) do you want to improve in?</p>
<h4>Step 2</h4>
<p>Next – using the goals as your guide, you and your kid(s) should write out <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/woman-kicking-air-on-beach-.jpg" alt="woman-kicking-air-on-beach-" title="woman-kicking-air-on-beach-" width="250" height="375" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1053" />a week-by-week schedule of Summer activities that lead to accomplishing the goal(s). (To eliminate any opportunity your child will have to whine about their Summer, I actually recommend you schedule out the entire Summer, day-by-day; but let me allow you to ease into this.) </p>
<h4>Step 3</h4>
<p>Then, <strong>follow the schedule</strong>. </p>
<p>My kids have not uttered the phrase, &#8220;I&#8217;m bored,&#8221; since I began this approach to their Summers. They are <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/girl-jumping-web-200x300.jpg" alt="girl-jumping-web" title="girl-jumping-web" width="200" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1054" />too busy, engaged and happy to be bored! You too, will be happy. And I know that your kids and mine will look back someday (as we parents do) and say how great this or that Summer was because of what they <u><strong>did</u></strong>.</p>
<p>To help you get rolling, I am providing you a list of <u><strong>301 Things That Your Kid Can Do During The Summer</u></strong> (below).   Surely your kids will find at least a few things on the list that they want to go after. If not, send your kids off to a working ranch for the Summer. (That’ll teach them to get bored!)</p>
<p>Many of my list of <u><strong>301 Things Your Kid Can Do During The Summer</strong></u> are low cost or no cost. Some will even make money. This list makes sure that no kid need ever be bored.</p>
<p>So, you might be asking: <font color=red><strong>“Did Darryl develop his list to help the kids or to help parents?” </strong></font color=red><strong>My answer: “Yes!”</strong></p>
<p>The following list of 301 activities will help your kid, your family, and you take full advantage of the warm weather season and spark the creativity that makes Summer the best time of the year! Your kids can look over the list and choose any activities they are interested in and get started. Some of my suggested activities require parental permission, but most are suitable for your kids to complete on their own.</p>

<p><strong><br />
You Get One Life. Live It!</strong><br />
By Darryl L. Mobley</p>
<p>As I spoke with my children on how best to reach their goals in sports and academics, I was reminded of my story of the pet store and the squirrel monkey. (<strong>I actually had squirrel monkeys for pets when I was a teenager. My mother decided to feed them scrambled eggs and bacon. What happened next would bring a tear to your eyes.</strong> But that&#8217;s another story for another time!)</p>
<p>I thought I would share my story with you.</p>
<p>A man was walking downtown and passed a pet store. As he looked in the pet store window he saw a large cage filled <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/monkey.jpg" alt="monkey" title="monkey" width="248" height="241" class="alignright size-full wp-image-990" />with some really cute squirrel monkeys. Like me, he had always liked monkeys and so he went into the pet store.<strong><span id="more-985"></span></strong></p>
<p>As he looked at the five little squirrel monkeys he noticed the price tags on the front of the cage. $75. $75. $75. $75. And then, $500.</p>
<p>He was intrigued by the large price for one of the squirrel monkeys – even though they all looked exactly the same to him. </p>

<p><strong></strong><center>- &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; - &#8211; </center></strong></p>
<p>He asked the pet store sales clerk why one of the squirrel monkeys was priced at $500. The sales clerk told him that that particular squirrel monkey could talk. So, of course it was a bit more expensive than the other &#8220;regular&#8221; squirrel monkeys.</p>
<p>The man was excited and told the sales clerk that he wanted to buy that talking squirrel monkey right away. The man paid for the talking squirrel monkey, purchased an expensive monkey cage, and took it all home.</p>
<p>The next day the man returned to the pet store, found the sales clerk and told him that the squirrel monkey had not talked.</p>
<h3><strong>A Multicolored Ball?</h3>
<p></strong></p>
<p>The sales clerk asked the man, &#8220;Have you given the squirrel monkey a multicolored bouncing ball? He loves to play with <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/ball.jpg" alt="ball" title="ball" width="120" height="119" class="alignright size-full wp-image-989" />the ball. The happier he is, the more he talks.&#8221;</p>
<p>The man said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have a multicolored bouncing ball. Can I buy one from you?&#8221; </p>
<p>The sales clerk said, &#8220;I have one right here that I can sell to you for $21.95.&#8221;<br />
The man grabbed the ball, paid the clerk and took off back home.</p>
<p>The next day the man again returned to the pet store, found the sales clerk and told him that the squirrel monkey still had not talked. </p>
<h3><strong>Shiny Silver Chair</h3>
<p></strong></p>
<p>The sales clerk asked the man, &#8220;Have you read to him from his favorite book, &#8216;Planet of the Squirrel Monkeys&#8217;? It&#8217;s a <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/silverchair.jpg" alt="silverchair" title="silverchair" width="248" height="237" class="alignright size-full wp-image-988" />special edition with very nice colored photos and a hand-written note from the author. The talking squirrel monkey loves that book and discusses it after every reading.&#8221;</p>
<p>The exasperated man said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have the &#8216;Planet of the Squirrel Monkeys&#8217; book. Can I buy one from you?&#8221; </p>

<p>The sales clerk said, &#8220;I have the one I read to the talking squirrel monkey right here. It&#8217;s my only copy. But, I can sell to you for just $84.95. These books are very rare.&#8221;</p>
<p>The man glared at the sales clerk. But, he took the book, paid the clerk and hustled out the door to go back home.</p>
<p>The very next day the man burst though the door of the pet store, saw the sales clerk and yelled that the squirrel monkey still had not talked. </p>
<p>The sales clerk asked the man, &#8220;Is the talking squirrel monkey sitting in his shiny silver rocking chair? He just talks up a blue streak whenever he gets to rock in his shiny silver chair. I have the very chair he used to sit in right here for just $395.&#8221;</p>
<p>The man was furious but he really wanted to see just how far this sales clerk was going to take this talking monkey tale. So he grabbed the offered shiny silver chair, signed the credit card charge slip and sped out the door. </p>
<h3><strong>Talk, Talk, Talk&#8230;</h3>
<p></strong></p>
<p>The next day the man – looking depressed – walked slowly back into the pet store carrying the multicolored bouncing ball, the special edition &#8216;Star Monkeys&#8217; book, and the shiny silver rocking chair.</p>
<p>The sales clerk saw him and asked, &#8220;What&#8217;s going on? Didn&#8217;t the talking squirrel monkey like playing with the multicolored bouncing ball? Didn&#8217;t he like it when you read to him his &#8216;Planet of the Squirrel Monkeys&#8217; book? And didn&#8217;t he enjoy his shiny silver rocking chair?&#8221;</p>
<p>The man said that, &#8220;Yes. The talking squirrel monkey loved playing with the bouncing multicolored ball. He also really seemed to like the special edition &#8216;Planet of the Squirrel Monkeys&#8217; book when I read it to him. He even perked up when I gave him the shiny silver rocking chair. In fact, the minute I put the rocking chair into the cage with him, he put the multicolored bouncing ball down, closed the special edition &#8216;Planet of the Squirrel Monkeys&#8217; book, sat in the shiny silver rocking chair and began rocking. He then slumped forward with tears running down his hairy little face – and before he passed away – the talking squirrel monkey said to me, &#8220;Don’t they sell squirrel monkey food at the pet store?&#8221;</p>

<h5><strong>What&#8217;s the message in this little story? (<i>You knew that I had one!</i>)</h5>
<p></strong></p>
<p>The message is to make sure that you are focused on the right things when you are trying to achieve your goals. It doesn&#8217;t matter what your goals are – health, business, family, education, relationships, parenting, career &#8212; whatever! </p>
<p>Make sure that you are spending your time and money and energies on things that really matter.</p>
<h3><strong>Don&#8217;t Be Seduced!</strong></h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t be seduced by the shiny, sparkling things that most often will NOT help you, your children, or your family &#8212; <img src="http://lifecoachontheradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/womanseduction-199x300.jpg" alt="womanseduction" title="womanseduction" width="199" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-986" />achieve your dreams. These things are dream-stealers. </p>
<p>You and those you love must master the fundamentals. </p>
<p>One of my football coaches from back in the day told me that the teams that win most often are the teams that do the best job of blocking and tackling. </p>
<p>My college basketball coach told me that the teams that win most often are the teams that do the best job of rebounding and shooting free throws.</p>
<p>My college volleyball coach told me that the teams that win most often are the teams that do the best job of serving and setting the ball. </p>
<p>Check it out. They were so very right. The seemingly most basic things have the biggest impact on success or failure.</p>
<p>Blocking, tackling, rebounding, free throw shooting, serving and setting are not very sexy. But they are essential if you want to win. Being great at them requires focus and hard work. </p>
<p>Are you spending your time, effort, and money on those things that mean success? </p>
<p>What are you doing with your time and energies?</p>
<p>Remember – You DO deserve to live a great life.</p>
<p>Enjoy Life!</p>

Reasons for Business Success or Failure</CENTER></font color=red></strong></p>
<p><u>Why do the few businesses achieve magnificent success and the majority live on the edge of failure?</u> This question has challenged me since I was a young boy.  You should know that besides my work as a Life &#038; Executive Coach, I am also a <strong>Business-Growth Coach</strong> to clients across the country. This means that I spend a good deal of my time studying what makes businesses succeed and applying those techniques and strategies to client businesses.</p>
<p>We have all heard of the folks who started with little and went on to drive their businesses to massive success. Surely there must be a set of action steps or &#8220;laws&#8221; that you and I could apply to grow our own businesses and live our best lives. There are&#8230; </p>
