Prosperity Is Your Birthright

Prosperity is not just about money. It is about understanding you get to create a life by choice. I am not talking about buying more toys, or a new car or a new home. It means to me you are living a life that is centered and balanced and you have peace and calm in your life on every level. Prosperity is your birthright and you can live from that centered, connected place and know all is well, all the time, even when life tosses you something you can't understand. You still feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel prosperous.

Your thoughts and feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings are the only things that can hold you back from being in flow and being prosperous. You create your thoughts and you create your feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings. I hope you will choose prosperity today!

It has made a large difference in the quality of my life and my clients lives.

Out of Whack

I am on many pain medications for my RSD and Sunday I had a toxic drug reaction from the meds so bad that I had trouble speaking, could not spoke crying, cried over anything and didn't know why, had trouble seeing and was shaking and could not think. It was terribly scary!

My wonderful friend Shannon came to be with me and her being with me and talking to me softly calmed me down enough to get me in bed and to sleep eventually.

Monday I went to one of my many docs treating me for RSD and he had a fit over what others had prescribed and called my other docs.

Today I am starting to come off the meds and am already feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling better.

Man it was frightening like I had a stroke or turned into some wild person!

Glad to back to "me"!!!!

Laws of the Universe

If you've seen The Secret or What The Bleep Do We Know and if you've been reading about the Law of Attraction, hearing about the Law of Resonance or are familiar with the works of Abraham-Hicks, you are open to giving up struggle and creating ease. You've probably played with those laws yet still don't have what you want in your life.

What you have missed is the hand-on learning and exercises that open you up and allow you to do what was impossible before. Until you shatter and destroy your limiting beliefs, these laws will never serve you. In fact there are many, many Laws of the Universe you will learn with me after you shatter those beliefs - and not before.

If you feeeeeeeeeeeeeel you are capable of living a more EXTRAordinary life but are always held back, then it is time to learn to give up your past forever to live the life you are ready to create now.

When you change how you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel, what you believe and you change your thoughts and patterns, you will create a new and beautiful life of your dreams. You will be living from who you really are. The beautiful person in and out will shine.

It's All About Health

As I move through my life experience I realize that what is urgent in life is health. Healthy eating, healthy moving, healthy relationships, healthy body image, healthy relationships, spiritual health, healthy self-esteem, mental and physical health.

So really, when I am coaching people I am creating more health in an aspect of their life and the aspect is tied to so many other aspects.

My word for the day is: Health

Coach or Therapist?

There are many business coaches in the world and a lot of different certifying organizations. Some of these produce coaches with proven track records, while others, quite frankly, are a waste of time and money.

Then there are some coaching schools that stress the importance of having a basis in clinical psychology, saying that coaching is, in effect, behavioral modification, which is what psychologists are trained to facilitate. But is that true? Psychologists are therapists. They treat sick people, and they help people who are facing stress to stay healthy despite their circumstances. Is that what you want in a coach? No! That is a very different type of behavior modification.

Seems some people are still confused about what is and isn't "coaching". A driving teacher also facilitates behavior modification---so does a track coach or a ballet instructor. But this is not therapy. These are examples of someone who knows how to do something and guiding someone else as he or she learns to do it.

In many respects, a business coach is no different to the track coach. A coach guides a person in discovering how to self-coach. The coach does not change a person's behavior or delve deep to uncover hidden "demons", but helps that person to change his own behavior or attitude to motivate him to reach the limits of his potential… to reach specific goals… to achieve a joyful and balanced lifestyle… improve their career… build a business… move forward to a successful and happy future, as determined by the client. What does that have to do with clinical psychology? Nothing. (Unless you have a deeply troubled past from which you can't escape and it prevents you from functioning in the present and moving ahead.)

A track coach needs to know how to train a body to run efficiently and how to motivate the team members. Does a track coach need a medical degree to achieve this? Of course not.

A ballet instructor needs to know how to develop the strength, grace, and poise to accomplish precise dance movements and how to build self confidence and dedication in the dance troupe.

A business coach needs to know how to become an effective manager or executive and how to awaken the ability to self-coach in the client. A track coach's job is accomplished when the team rates first place, and the ballet instructor is validated when the troupe all become professional dancers. In contrast, a therapist has succeeded when a sick person becomes a functional individual, or when a patient can face psychological stresses without further therapy. A business coach has done well when the client's confidence, ability, and motivation have developed to the point that the coach is no longer needed, or they have achieved the goal they set out to achieve with the help of the coach.

The client has not gone from illness to health, or from floundering to coping. The client has learned a new set of behaviors from an expert teacher. That is the difference. Coaching is learning, yes. Coaching is motivating, yes. Coaching is building, yes. Coaching is not therapy! Do you see yourself as a prospective driver, a hopeful athlete, or a dancer with a dream... or as a patient?

Make sure you know the difference. If you hire a Coach who is a therapist or psychologist and they start delving into your mind in ways inappropriate to "coaching", then get yourself a new coach. The "psychologist's couch" has no place in coaching… only in therapy.

A coach is interested only in your future… of course, if you have issues from your past that are preventing you from doing anything, let alone moving forward, by all means, visit a therapist! If you are sick, see a therapist.

If you want to become motivated, directed, and efficient, hire a coach.

Ok, this is nuts to me! If you watch American Idol (the only reality show I have ever watched) Sanjaya can NOT sing at all. His lack of singing ability has become a cool joke with a website pushing people to vote for him and Howard Stern with his large following backing Sanjaya. There are such talented voices yet he will stay and I guess he'll be the runner up because of this big joke to back him. How unfair to the very skilled artists out there.

I know America won't vote him off, and so does he! He came out last night all rock and roll and even sticking his tongue out frequently as if to say, "Ha, Ha, I can do anything and still be here!"

I have to say this bugs me!

Update on Health and Weight Loss

I am excited to share with you! I had my nerve blocker done on Friday and had some burning back pain after that which lasted just that day. I had no pain on Saturday and no pain Sunday during the day. I did get some pain Sunday night. Today I have pain again, but not like the pain I had before. So I am pretty excited and feeeeeeeeeeeeeling positive. I have another nerve blocker in April.

And I am thrilled with my weight loss! I started RESET and then went to the next phase called TRANSFORM and I have lost inches and pounds and in two weeks dropped a full size! I know I am getting back my body pre-injury!

If you want to know about RESET and losing inches, pounds an ending carb cravings, I am happy to share with you... drop me a quick line: Terri@CoachInstitute.Com.

Sharing A Personal Note

I want my life to be an EXTRAordinary one and since my Achilles rupture way back in September my life hasn't been as EXTRAordinary as I would like. I have RSD as a result of the injury and I have a lot of pain that I have been living with. Tomorrow I am going for my first of several spinal nerve blocks. I am hoping this will work and am expecting it will and that I will begin to be pain free so my life can be more juicy, delightful and EXTRAordinary!

I'll see you next week and let you know how I am doing!

American Idol

I rarely watch TV but for some reason, every year, American Idol pulls me in. I was pondering last evening why I was so addicted to the show. I am not a fan of Randy Jackson nor Paula Abdul, so that couldn't be it. I don't care for Ryan Seacrest and yet I watch every show!

I guess what captivates me is what I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel for the singers. How they give their all, and how much they really want this dream ,and I get caught up with them. As I get to know them more on each show, I become engaged.

Ok, now I figured it out.

I watch because the show is about people. People going for it big. People with a big dream. People with a goal, a vision, filled with desire and passion and feeeeeeeeeeeeeling.

Ah, I get it now.

People who are using the law of resonance to attract what they want!

Now I get why this appeals to me!

A Profession To Notice - Copywriting

One of the leading businesses you can start is copywriting. I have been following closely for about 7 years the business trends and this business has emerged like a rocketship blast off! I personally have used copywriters and I also learned to copywrite myself by working with Joe Vitale (from the movie The Secret). I am not talking about the word copyright which means a work is registered in the Library of Congress. I am talking about people who actually write copy such as ads, brochures, websites, papers, etc.

The Gold Friendshp

When I was a Brownie we sang a song "Make New Friends and Keep the Old, One is Silver and the Other's Gold". A Gold friend of mine had disappeared from my life for many years. I thought about her and spoke of her often and really deeply missed her.

Over the weekend she contacted me through my website! I was so thrilled and excited that if I didn't have a healing Achilles I would have jumped up and down! We connected by phone this weekend, picked right up where we left off and chatted for ages.

We are going to get together soon, too!

I am so happy to have this gold friend back in my life.

I always celebrate and honor all of my friends and am grateful to be sharing my life and work experience with others that I love. Bringing my gold friend back in my life adds more richness and dimension once again.

If you have a Gold friend you have drifted apart from, why not reach out to them?

Loosing Weight Through Intuitive Eating

Do you have a poor body image? Are you afraid to look at yourself in the mirror? I know that if you are bothered by your weight it interferes in your personal happiness. The cycle of dieting, over-eating, dieting, is not healthy and creates more difficulty in loosing weight. Notice if you look at others and compare your body shape and weight to them regularly. Observe yourself and your feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings and see if you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel down or depressed about your body weight. Ask yourself if you are getting the amount of movement each day that your physical body needs.

If the above resonates with you, you do not have a healthy understanding of food in your life. If you are sick and tired of being in this situation I invite you to join me in the program that I found that helps you develop new strategies for success in creating a healthy lifestyle and releasing you from being overweight.

In my book, Create Your Ideal Body I talk about creating a healthy relationship with food. The book focuses on helping you to become an intuitive eater and a person who moves their body. It uses self coaching techniques where you create new scripts and new programs in your mind and you fully release old stories, old triggers and old patterns. By following this program you improve your self-image and body image.

When I recently discovered a book on releasing fat I felt it blended well with the message of Create Your Ideal Body and added a component of having you naturally end cravings and desire for carbs. For me, after day 3 of reset I no longer craved carbs at all and I have been a carb addict for years! I completed reset and then went on the the transform program which again is very similiar to my book as it doesn't restrict your choices (except for a small list of foods) and those foods are only restricted for 28 days.

I have become a raving fan of this product.

10 Creative Lead Generation Strategies to Grow Your Business

10 Low Cost Ways to Generate Leads for Your Business

As a small business owner, it’s vitally important to continually generate high quality leads for your business. This report focuses on 10 low cost, highly effective lead generation strategies for your business.

1) A-Z List

The A-Z list is a creative technique designed to help you keep track of all the contacts you’ve made or would like to make. It helps you gather, in one place, a complete list of possible sources for well-qualified leads. Creating the initial list might take some time, but after this, you will have a continual source of people, places, and companies to connect with and with whom you can share your products and services.

In order to begin the list, you’ll need a three-ring notebook. You will label the first page with the letter “A”, and then place a few empty filler pages behind this letter, then label another page “B”, and add some empty pages, then label another page “C” and add some empty pages- continue this for the entire alphabet. Once you’ve set it up, it’s time to start filling it in.

Starting with any letter, begin to write down all the people, places, names of companies, cities, anything and everything that begins with that letter- aim for an exhaustive list.

For example, for the letter “A”, you might have: Acme stores, Alan (my cousin), AT&T, Adidas, Air Jordan… etc.

Generate a similar list for each letter of the alphabet. Once you’ve completed this, you’re ready for the next step.

Now, each time you meet someone new, add his/her name to your A-Z list. It’s wise to spend about 10-15 minutes, faithfully, each week, adding to your list. In this way, you begin to amass an ongoing, growing database of people you know, companies you might do business with, and people you’d like to meet.

Very soon, you’ll have an extensive list of potential leads.

The A-Z list is a wonderful, creative tool for expanding your thinking about how and where you might generate new business. In fact, in the process of explaining it, I had several new ideas, myself.

2) Mind Mapping

This is another creative lead generation technique to help you solve any problems or blocks around generating more leads. It can be a fun, inspiring process.

In order to mind-map a solution, you’ll need a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. You might want to save your mind maps in some kind of binder or folder as they are good resources to refer back to periodically.

Once you have a piece of paper, write the ‘problem’ or ‘question’ in the middle of the page. For example, “how can I bring more customers into my business?” You place a circle around this question, and then draw a series of spokes moving outward from this circle (like the sunrays in a child’s drawing). At the end of each sun ray, you quickly and easily write out a possible solution- or, in some cases, a word or phrase that comes to you. Once you have written a word or phrase, you then circle that and draw additional sunrays from that circle and repeat the process. So the page will end up looking like a series of suns, each connected by a line or idea.

Mind-mapping is a good technique for accessing your creative/intuitive possibilities and can provide a roadmap of next steps to take.


3) Email Newsletter/Ezine

Starting an email newsletter or ezine is both a marketing and a lead generation technique. In order to set up a newsletter, you basically need to figure out a name, find people to subscribe, and make it a point to offer relevant, useful, informative and valuable content.

An email newsletter is most effective if it’s sent out at least monthly- this enables you to continue to educate your current customers, potential customers, and new prospects about your business and the value you can provide them. Remember, your customer/prospect always wants to know- “what’s in it for me?”- so you want to keep the focus of your email newsletter on solving your customer’s problems. You don’t want to use the whole publication as an advertisement for your business. Instead, and much more effective, would be to subtly showcase your expertise. Use case studies, client examples, occasional testimonials, and your own expertise and knowledge to make your newsletter one that people eagerly sign up for and can’t wait to receive.

The advantages of email newsletters are that they are inexpensive to produce, easy to send out, and offer a means for customers to click through to your website or sales pages if they would like more information. The downsides, though, are that they can be seen as somewhat impersonal (maybe not good for businesses which focus on high touch service- like salons, spas, etc.) and people might feel overwhelmed by email and quickly unsubscribe. If you are providing good, usable content, though, very often your subscribers will stay with you for years. Be sure to highlight customer appropriate changes to your business- i.e. did you just recently
extend hours? Did you hire a new manager? Are you doing some charity or volunteer work that they might like to know about?


4) Contests/Giveaways

Contests or giveaways can be a really fun way to generate interest and excitement in your business. The majority of people enjoy obtaining something for free, and the higher the perceived value, the more excited people are to participate. A great way to use this to generate leads is to offer an item for free if people take a specified action (i.e. visit your website, sign up for your newsletter, know the right answer to a question).

Contests are most effective when there is some element of challenge- too easy and people quickly lose interest, too hard, and people don’t want to play anymore. Also, it’s best to kind of spread out these types of offerings. A contest every month might be too much, but a contest once a quarter (perhaps tied to the season, or a theme) might be just perfect. Be sure to get pictures of the winner and/or written testimonials about your contest. This will encourage more and more people to participate. Since they will be entering the contest to win a prize, you can also make some educated guesses about what kinds of products/services they might be interested in. Once you’ve held a contest or giveaway, you can also follow up with people and ask them what other products/services they might like to see offered for a contest or giveaway. This will tell you what your customers really want and need, and you can then step in to address this need.

These are really fun, and people love to win- so you might create a tip sheet or small product/package to give away and start holding contests/giveaways to increase your customer base.


5) Updates to Your Website

Updating your website is an important lead generation technique, and is a way to retain your current customers or clients. The main purpose of your website should be to educate and inform the consumer; to encourage him or her to stay aware of your business and to take the next step when s/he has a problem you can solve. The more current you keep your website, the more likely you are to have a flow of new leads and potential customers coming into your business.

Many people forget that people searching the Internet are often looking for information to solve a problem or answer a question. The more relevant content you have on your website, the more likely customers will come to you to solve their problems. You will want to continually update your offerings, sharing new, relevant links, resources, articles, products- anything that will serve your customer. You can announce these updates in your email newsletters and/or in any direct/print mailings. Give people a reason to visit, and they will. Give them frequent valuable updates, and they will keep coming back.
Of course, the more they come back, the easier it is to gain their trust, and to build your visibility and credibility. Once a customer has visited your website, s/he is more likely to sign up for your email newsletter. Once s/he has read your email newsletter for a while, s/he is more likely to attend a free informational call or seminar. Once s/he has attended a seminar or requested more information, s/he is more likely to purchase a product or service. Once s/he has purchased a product or service, s/he is more likely to purchase another. And so on.
So providing good, solid website content is a great way to generate repeat business and new leads- plus, it’s generally very cost-effective, and gives you a great deal of credibility and visibility with your target customers.


6) Storyboarding

Storyboarding is another creative lead generation technique which can aid those of you who are visual thinkers or visual planners. In this process, you will take a series of sticky notes (like Post-It Notes) and you create space on a blank wall in your office. At one end of the wall you put where you are now (Point A) and, at the other end of the wall, you put your desired outcome (Point B) - for example: 10,000 new customer names. Then, with the remaining Post It Notes, you chart out (map out) all the steps which go from Point A to Point B. It’s good, in this process, to just let the ideas flow- get as many sticky notes up on the wall as you can.

This is a great visual brainstorming technique because it not only allows you to generate many ideas of how to get from Point A to Point B, but it also then allows you to move the sticky notes around to define the next steps and the next set of actions you’ll take to move from Point A to Point B.

This works especially well for defining processes that are complex, and those which might involve input from other sources. It can also be a great tool for defining and diagramming your lead generation strategies and noting how/where each strategy will drop a lead into your marketing cycle, so you can plan how much follow up is needed and track time to completed sale.


7) Free (Tele)Classes or Workshops

Offering a free “sample” or “taste” of what you can do is a great way to showcase your experience and generate interest in your business. A free (tele)class or (tele)workshop enables you to easily make contact with many interested prospects at one time, saving you the time and effort of arranging individual meetings. These classes or workshops can be on any topic you feel is valuable and informative to those you wish to serve.

Use these classes as a platform for sharing your knowledge, helping build your visibility, and increasing your credibility among your target market. It’s a proven psychological fact that the more people know you, the more they will like you (if they are predisposed to do so)- so the more you have contact with people, the more they will like you, and ultimately, will buy what you’re offering.

It is very easy to arrange a telephone-based class or an in-person class. For telephone classes, you’ll need to obtain a teleconference line (also known as a phone-bridge) and these can be had inexpensively from various services providers on the internet. Once you have obtained the bridge, you will set the class date, decide on a topic, develop it, and invite anyone who might be interested in attending. Participants pay their own long distance charges into the phone line. Have some way of tracking who attends, and offer something valuable as a “thank you” for attending- this will activate prospects and move them further into the sales cycle.

To arrange an in person class, you’ll follow very much the same process, except you’ll need to reserve physical space- a location- instead of a telephone line.

Workshops and classes are a great way to create a fast inflow of new leads into your business.


8) Direct Mail

Direct mail refers to any promotional or business item you will mail out to prospects. It might include business cards, postcards, brochures, advertisements, etc. This strategy is especially useful for those of you who work in a well-defined geographic location and/or can tightly segment out your market population.

In this process, you directly mail potential customers/prospects and invite them to visit your store, visit your website, sign up for a contest, or give them something for free.

The action you want them to take is one that will bring them into your business- so, at minimum, you want to have a way to capture their interest level (like having them go to a special page on your website and entering a promotional code so you know they came from your direct mail piece), and some way of following up in the future. Give them some valuable information, invite them to a free class or workshop, have them stop by for a free sample, or join a contest or giveaway. Encourage them to leave their comments, to call you if they have questions. In short, start to build a relationship with them.

In this example, you’ll find that lead generation can become even more effective when you combine various methods. Most businesses would benefit from some combination of direct mail and another lead generation strategy.

9) Coopetition

Coopetition is a term coined to define a mix of “cooperation” and “competition”.

This concept refers to the idea that you can partner with your competitors to increase your leads and sales. There are various ways to accomplish this, but one approach might look like this: You have customers in your database who have not bought from you, or who have expressed interest in products you don’t carry- but your competitor does. Your competitor may have similar names in his database. In a coopetitive arrangement, you both agree to share the names of customers which would benefit the other business, and, in an ethical, appropriate manner, you begin to market to these prospects that your competitor could not convert.

So you cooperate to trade names, and then serve your own business by marketing directly to those people. Another way to apply this concept is to partner or link with a firm that works with a similar group- but not exactly the same. For instance, let’s say that you sell products/service to companies under $25million in sales- you might partner with a firm that works with companies over $25million in sales. You each agree to share appropriate leads- you would send all $25m- customers to them, and they would send all $25m+ customers to you. This means, essentially, that you each work together (cooperate) to build your own businesses (compete).
Coopetition is different from a joint venture (discussed below), because coopetition really encourages you to run your business for yourself and you won’t necessarily share the profits. Again, there are many other ways to use this strategy, but coopetition can be very powerful when used intentionally and thoughtfully.


10) Joint Ventures

Joint venturing is another way to team up with other businesses. In this model, you team up with another business which offers products that are geared to your target market. For example, a joint venture might be created between a company selling vitamins and one selling fitness equipment (based on the supposition that people who buy vitamins also exercise). Customers who purchase fitness equipment might be given a coupon for a free bottle of vitamins- or people who buy a particular brand of nutritional supplement (let’s say for joint pain) might be given a discount coupon for a piece of fitness equipment that relieves joint pain and/or strengthens your joints.

What separates a joint venture from coopetition is that, in a joint venture, people are partnering together and there is some compensation traded for the arrangement. In a coopetitive agreement, this might not be the case. A coopetitive agreement is, often, a “trade in kind”- I give you one name, you give me one name. A joint venture, however, is more of a partnership- where the participants split or share the profits resulting from the joint venture. An affiliate program might be another type of joint venture arrangement- affiliates sell for you, and you each share the profits. In essence, you have created a type of “joint venture” to sell the product.

Joint ventures are powerful because they use the concept of multiplication- when two people come together, each bringing their networks and spheres of influence, the synergy that is created can generate exponential growth for both partners.

Joint ventures are a great way to get out in front of a related, but separate, group and showcase your products and offerings. By joint venturing with another company, you are leveraging your marketing efforts and will be gaining more possible customers with much less effort. Some skilled joint venturers will create 3, 4, 5 way links- where each partner links to the 4 others. Again, joint ventures can be great lead generation strategies and their scope is limited only by your own creativity.


So then, this is a list of 10 very effective lead generation strategies for your business. If you want to build your business quickly, implement and follow through on as many strategies as you can. Get out there and happy leading!

The 12 Criteria of The Ideal Business

Paine Webber™ is a major American financial company that defines “The Ideal Business” as having the following twelve (12) points. If a business has just three (3) of these points it is considered to be a good investment.

The Coaching Institute receives a checkmark in all twelve (12) categories thereby making it "The Ideal Business"! [Note: P means that my company meets the following criteria!]

Re-set Your Weight

I was given a book a few months ago that I read with great interest about re-setting your body to loose weight more easily and loosing carbohydrate cravings. It was written by a doctor and was very interesting to me. He mentioned some products that support this way of eating and I kept them in mind.

During the radio show I do with Raven, we were interviewing someone who talked about this program and the products.

It was synchronistic, so I had to connect with the guest after the show.

I did and I got the products.

I just finished a 5 day re-set and lost weight and inches and feeeeeeeeeeeel really good and am not interested in carbs like I was at all!

If you want to re-set, email me directly and I'll get you some info: Terri@TerriLevine.com.

Why Network Marketers Fail

Network marekting can be one of the greatest business opportunities. There is no other business that offers the potential for passive income with such a small investment. What people fail to think about is that network marketing IS a business! It is not a way to get rich quick. In addition to not taking network marketing as a business people also fail because they have limiting beliefs that they need to overcome.

Here are the top limiting beliefs I see as a coach to network marketing organizations and some tips on overcoming them.

The Top 30 Limiting Beliefs (And Their Solutions)
For Building Your Own Business


30 Doubting Statements Around Network Marketing

I don’t know how to sell
I feel better when I look at this as serving.

I do not have enough friends to build a team
We each meet an average of 3-5 new people a week.

I do not want anyone hanging up on me
I know I am offering a great opportunity and it is their loss.

I don’t know what to say
I have a few great, easy scripts I can use.

What if it takes too long and I run out of money
I can schedule this amongst other money making endeavors.

My leads want to be called in the morning and I can only call at night
I have an assistant who is able to make the calls or I can swap leads with someone on my team.

I tried something like this before and failed
This is a unique opportunity and offers a lot of support.

I already invited all my friends to another opportunity so I don’t have anyone to call
I can find one new person to talk to this week and I can place an ad.

I feel responsible for my team’s success
We are all in this together and my approach is to coach them to be successful.

I might get someone into this that can’t afford it and their debt will be my fault
The system, if worked properly, allows each of us to generate income fast. This is a great opportunity to build a successful business at low cost.

I’m worried my friends won’t like it and then they won’t like me
I will feel better if I share this opportunity rather than they learn of my success and that I could have told them.

What if someone gets angry that I called
I do not take such things personally. I do not waste time on those that do not appreciate my offer. There are many more that do want to hear about this.

This is more work than I thought
I schedule the amount of time on this that easily fits into my schedule.

This is hard
I can talk to my team and see how those succeeding are making it easy.

I’m afraid
I have the support of a team and can ask for help.

I’ve never been successful at my own business before
I can ask my team leaders and what they have done to create successful teams.

Most businesses fail in the first year
This is an opportunity with an established business that I am now part of.

I don’t like telemarketers calling me so how can I call people
I can call people at their requested time by using a form on my website and I can send out an email to my leads prior to calling.

I can’t get a hold of anyone on my team
If someone is not serious about being a team player I do not have time or room for them on my team.

I don’t want to bother my team leader
I want to support my team so they must too.

I had to find this opportunity myself so other people should find it on their own
I want to share this popportunity with as many people as I can. I want to make it easier for them to find it than it was for me.

If someone is meant to be a part of this it will find them
I can help facilitate their opportunity by helping it find them.

What if someone doesn’t like the products, will they blame me?
It is up to each of us to try the products and decide for ourselves.

I’m not good on the phone
I can look at this like a conversation with a friend and then it becomes easy.

I’ll just email my leads and if they are interested they’ll call me
What if they have some fears about making a call and I can make it easier for them.

I don’t like to work alone
I have the support of my team and can find a buddy to work with.

What if this is a hoax
This opportunity was created by a person of very high integrity who is very visible in the system and the company is a well established reputable company.

It can’t be that easy to make money
This is just a story of mine and I have evidence that many are already making lots of easy money through this process.

It takes 3 years to turn a profit in business and I don’t have that long
This opportunity is different in that it is built on a business that IS already profitable. Many members are already profitable.

The words Network Marketing turn people off
I will recognize the network serving that I am providing.

Bonus
It seems like no-one else on my team knows how to do this so I’m going to have to build their teams for them to build my own success
I will continue to coach my team for success and teach them the sure ways to easily create a large, highly successful team.

Empowering Learning

The Coaching Institute is the leader in the field of coaching. It is critically important that professionals learn a practical approach to coaching clients. Students we train view clients as comprehensive, complete and whole and they embrace them for who they are and know by coaching them they can empower them to make the changes they want in their lives and work. As coaches, our students put into practice the coaching core competencies they have learned and educate clients to use these same competencies in their lives and work.

Our model of training coaches is empowering and then our coaches empower their clients using a similiar model.

The Coaching Institute is unique in blending tools, curriculum, structure, support, marketing help, flexibility, focus, communication and and overall being a coach vs. doing coaching experience.

I firmly hold and strongly believe that our clients also need structure and curriculum and tools and they want our support and help. They also need to be focused yet flexible and learn to use the coaching by tapping into their own inner coach and their own inner guidance system.

To me, you know you are coaching great when a client uses coaching on their own!

What is Spirituality?

As a Soul Coach I am often asked what is spirituality? To me spirituality means that you have an inward feeeeeeeeeeeeeling of a spirit or power greater than you. It also means you can turn to this spirit or power or God with your life issues and get courage and guidance. It is the outside relationship you feeeeeeeeeeeel with something greater than yourself that gives you strength and power. And finally, it is the combination of faith and hope and love that you can live by which will make your life experience more EXTRAordinary.

Soul coaching is my process to help people discover who they are and to develop and strengthen their spiritual connection. It is a way to set yourself free and deeply know who you are and honor and love yourself.

7 Deadly Mistakes Network Marketers Make

Network marketing is a great way to have a business, create income, freedom and a life and lifestyle. The problem is most network marketers make some or all of these 7 deadly mistakes and then don't make money from network marketing.

Here are the mistakes and what to do about them!

Mistake 1: They believe they can get wealthy fast doing little or nothing

Sure that sounds great but the truth is building any business takes time and energy. It would be great to imagine yourself on a beach in Tahiti while money rolls in and you do nothing. You can't start a business that way, though! Many network marketers fail just because they believe they don't need to work.

You wouldn't start up a restaurant and then sit home and do nothing! You'd work that business and take it serioulsy as a business! I am not saying you have to work it full time, but you DO have to work at it.

Money flows in to those who are persistent and who work at network marketing.

Mistake 2: They believe they don't have to market and sell.

They believe the company will feed them leads or that CD's or DVD's or meetings or 3 way calls will bring them all the customers and business associates they need. So, they have no background in sales and marketing and don't learn those skills. Again, if you started your own business you'd find ways that are comfortable for you to market and sell.

Mistake 3: They believe they can market solely through the Internet

Sure you can get leads from the Internet and some companies have great lead generators and autoresponders for you to use. But here is the catch. People buy from people and people join a team because of people. You must be willing to spend time talking to leads and building relationships with them. Without the personal connection, you'll have leads and no business and make no money.

Mistake 4: They believe the product/company will sell it self

No matter how hot the product or service or industry nothing sells itself. If you believe this hype you'll end up doing nothing and making nothing. If you have a product/service you are passionate about that is great, but they won't sell themselves. You still need sales and marketing and relationship building if you are going to succeed. Sure the company might succeed, but I am talking about YOUR success!

Mistake 5: Anyone can do it

No the only ones that do it successsfully are the ones willing to build relationships, speak to people, share the products/services and opportunity and use marketing and selling skills. People willing to learn these skills and these processes and then make them their own and do them regularly and consistently WILL make money... those who don't do these things can not be successful.

What I want you to get is that network marketing can be done well and you can make a lot of money at it (I know as I do!) and coach others to also. It is done by learning skills and tools, putting those to work and going through the process of self growth and business building.

If you are willing to learn and work a business, I think network marketing is a fantastic choice!

Spiritual Health is Essential For a Healthy Life

Most people are so focused on caring for their physical body; they forget to care about their emotional and spiritual body. They don’t see themselves as spirits having a human experience. Even if you don’t agree that you are a spirit having a human experience, I am certain you do agree on having some spiritual nature or essence.

Our lives are comprehensive and include mind, body and spirit. When you fulfill your spiritual health you have a more joy-filled life and feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel more connected to others and to yourself.

Spiritual health is a belief in a spirit or power that is greater than you and that has the wisdom upon which you can rely. It is recognition of a relationship with something outside of you. Spiritual health includes having a healing attitude that you bring to problems in your life experience as well as self-love and self-acceptance. Here are the keys to spiritual health to create YOUR healthy life:

Letting go:

Not holding guilt or control and forgiving yourself and others. Forgiving and forgetting and not holding hate or bad feelings. Letting go of the burden of anger to increase your own well-being.

Gratitude:

Being thankful for your life and all the blessings you receive, even the smallest ones. Instead of living from negative and self-defeating thoughts shifting to appreciation and positive aspects of people and things. When you are grateful you allow in more health and wellness in your entire life!

Feeeeeeeeeeeling Peaceful:

Choosing to feeeeeeeeeeeeeel tranquility and peace means you have faith and believe in the power and presence of some higher being or spirit. This lets you feeeeeeeeeeeeeel peaceful even during life’s chaos of troubles, sorrows and pains. You know that there is always hope and that things are going according to a higher plan. It is choosing to “let go and let God.”

Loving:

Spiritual health includes showing love and concern and generosity to others and reaching out to others. Loving relationships with others increase your spiritual well being.

My wish for you is to know that the higher power, whatever that is to you, loves you and created you as a beautiful gem, even with your flaws. Love yourself, love others and be gentle and kind and loving and know that there is a love for you that is always there and that comes from a higher power. Let this spiritual sense into your heart and you will create more peace and joy and live a juicy, fuller and healthier life.

Distance Learning and Coaching

Distance learning is sophisticated way to train coaches who are already professionals. The Internet allows us to close the distance and enhance the coach training experience. With a self-study, self-paced experience you can learn from the privacy of your home or work, at days and times that serve you best and learn as quickly or slowly as you desire.

Coaching students who do best in this career have a common desire to work from home, make about 1-2k a week as they transition to a full time career over time, or simply work part time as a hobby or to earn extra income for themselves or their families. They are typically in service oriented professions such as massage therapy, physical therapy, Chiropractic, speech therapy, nutrition, sports/fitness, healthcare, psychology, business, etc.

They want to learn coaching to enhance their careers or to form the foundation of their new part time or full time business.

I believe the best coaches live coaching!

News From My Doctor

Today I went to the Orthopod to see what the status was on my healing and I got a good news/bad news response... my foot is healing (not healed, but healing)... I do have RSD :( That is Reflexive Sympathetic Dystrophy which is something I will need to continue to remain on the neurological nerve blockers for. I am now seeing a neurologist to get me started in a pain therapy program which they are hoping will help relieve the pain in about 15-18 months.

I am still happy as my foot is healing and I do not need surgery and I can walk more, bike, start to work out a bit, and I can drive once I get used to the pain blockers neurological effects. So, that's the story as of today.

Thank you for the good thoughts and wishes.

Fear of Success

Posted 2/15/07

As I continue to train and work with coaches and as I coach my own clients, I see many people having difficulty handling fear of success. This fear of success comes from an old story or pattern that they are not good enough. This fear results in them losing their motivation to grow, to achieve and to succeed.

I help them establish new behavior patterns and new beliefs and feeeeeeeeeeling to overcome this old story.

To begin this process we look at their life and where they had fear of success.

If you want some free coaching advice, here it is:

Create an autobiography of your life and age by age write down when/where and how you had fear of success.

The first step in changing our stories is knowing what we are thinking.

The Pain of Working At a Job You Don't Like

Posted 2/13/07

So many people really desire not to commute to work... not to spend hours and hours each day away from their homes and their families... not to work for a paycheck... not to do work that they don't feeeeeeeeeeeeel rewarded for and actually dread going to work and are miserable at their jobs. They stay stuck working for someone or a company and making that company profitable while they are underpaid and under- appreciated. They struggle each day to get up and get motivated enough to go back to work and do their boring work. They feeeeeeeeeel stuck as they need the paycheck and health benefits and they are missing out on living their lives and being with their families, having hobbies, having time for themselves and their lives go by with no meaning and the hopes of someday retiring and finally enjoying their lives then.

This pains me.

What I believe people want is what I wanted and created for myself... a life that allows you to do work you enjoy, that allows you to work from home, work far less hours and make way more money and having you feeeeeeeeeeel rewarded and appreciated. You can have the time with your family, friends, hobbies and to live your life instead of letting it pass by while you work for a company that can easily replace you without a thought.

Stop being afraid to live the life you were meant to be.

You are creating your own pain and suffering by believing you are stuck in a JOB.

You can make the transition and earn $50k or more within 6 months.

I did it and taught thousands of others to do the same.

If you really want help, I'll show you the formula.

If not, stay stuck, be miserable and blame yourself:(

Does this sound familiar to you?

Posted 2/12/07:

You have been considering doing work that you enjoy and no longer commuting to a job where you are unpaid, undervalued and overworked.

You have some ideas of what you might want to do.

You fear you won't be able to pay the bills, so you keep on going to work every day and feeling down.

Late at night you dream about doing your own business and being more fully connected with people.

You know there is more to your life.

You know you are smart and you can do other things that are more valuable to others than the current work you do.

You feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel trapped.

You fear investing money and loosing money.

So, you quiet your dream.

I want to acknowledge you for having a dream and now I want to encourage you to stick with your dream. Most people give up their dreams and don't create joy and ease in their lives.

I honor you for having the desire to build a new way of life and work.

I know it is scarey and yet I also know how wonderful it feeeeeeeeeeeeeels to do the work you love while serving others and getting paid what you deserve and having the freedom to live your life, too!

I want for you to live life on your own terms and understand you can do this.

If you are serious about having the life you want stop fighting for it and allow me to assist you in getting there.

You deserve to be a success on your own terms and not giving 40-60 hours a week to someone else who gets rich and has their dreams come true. To reach your dreams you have to be your own boss.

You can have your own business and what you need is someone who will guide you.

I am proud of the clients and students who have followed my methods and created success on their own terms.

They no longer wander to a job, but they have made massive changes in creating their own businesses where they are wildly rewarded.

If you don't know where to start let me hold your hand and make it happen with you.

I want for YOU to create the life and work of your dreams like I have.

More About Israel

Posted 2/9/07

As I was reflecting today I realized that my trip to Israel was eye opening. The ancient sites we saw, the many religions all coming to sites to view and tour and the feeeeeeeeeeeeeeling I got from the land and the people has made a huge impact on me. I am reading emails from people at my events and feeeeeeeeeeeling loved and appreciated and connected. I have been journaling about the feeeeeeeeeeeeling I had in the Dead Sea of floating with ease and then standing up with ease and how this has helped my healing of my Achilles... seeing myself stand with such ease.

I had an experience in Israel that added deeply to my life and am choosing to hold that experience and use it in how I respond to the world around me. I am taking my new emotional point of view and blending it into my work and my life.

I have such gratitude for this experience and look foward to speaking in other places around the globe!

My Trip to Israel

Posted 2/8/07:

I can't say enough about my trip to Israel! The coaching conference was amazing and they did an awesome job of packing the house with wonderful, excited, and open-minded people. I found all the people loving and giving and generous and felt appreciated and connected.

During my workshops I got to know many people on an individual basis and was in awe of their intelligence and love. I have never been anywhere in the world (and I travel a lot!) where the people are so engaged and caring.

We spent time touring after the conference and got to tour with the other speakers from around the world. I found them interesting, enlightening and such fun to travel and tour with.

The State of Israel is beautiful! Mountains, sea, sand, desert and so much ancient history and interest of every religion. I want to go back soon as there was so much to see and do and not enough time to fit it all in!
I had the honor and privledge of meeting the Acting President and Speaker of the Knesset, Dalia Itzik. We met her while having dinner in a local restaurant and she invited us to come for a personal tour of the Knesset! We had a private tour and got to spend a great deal of time asking questions and got to meet with her (she even invited us to lunch) and I got to sit in her chair at the Knesset!

What a warm place to go. I highly recommend everyone spend time seeing the history and connecting with various religions and meeting EXTRAordinary people!

I will be going back as soon as I am invited to speak again and I hope this is soon!

Personal Coaching with Terri

Hi! It's Rachel in Terri Levine's office, and I've got some really exciting news to share.

Have you been wanting to personally coach with Terri, but you've been holding off because you just can't afford her rates? Then you're gonna' want to jump on this offer TODAY...

A few months ago, Terri launched her exclusive Dream Racers program in which she personally coached 20 individuals to accelerated success. Unfortunately, demand for this closed-door program was much larger than Terri's time allowed, and hundreds of highly qualified individuals had to be turned away. In fact, demand was so great, Terri decided to develop the entire 6-month program into a home study course, and the course is finally ready.

I've taken a look at the program, and I can tell you, it is really powerful. I can't believe she did this, but in the course, Terri actually reveals her secret coaching tools that you can use to achieve ANY goal in ANY area of you life. The program is incredibly motivating, and after using it, your self-confidence is going to soar through the roof.

No more struggling to reach those goals that always seem just beyond your grasp. Terri will teach you her life-changing techniques for increasing your goal achieving ability. In fact, according to one of the original Dream Racers, "The program acts like an energy drink that stimulates you to take action."

And speaking of taking action, I suggest you take action soon. You see, Terri is currently in Israel at a speaking engagement that she is really excited about (I'm sure she'll tell you more about it when she gets back). And while she's gone, I've decided to offer a discount on the Dream Racers Home Study Program. It's already priced WAY BELOW its value, but if you act before February 8 (when Terri gets back) you'll save even more!

But you need to grab your copy now, because when Terri gets back on February 8, I need to have everything back to business as usual. So do yourself a favor, don't set this aside and say to yourself "I'll do it February 7." Get over to the web site NOW, while it's still fresh on your mind, and take advantage of my very own, first ever discount.

Don't you owe it to yourself to finally achieve those goals that you KNOW you deserve?

Thanks for your time, and here's to your success,

Personal Fulfillment

After over 20 years of studying and teaching, coaching and mentoring on personal fulfillment, I fully understand the power we have to create the lives and work and relationships and incomes and feeeeeeeeeeelings we desire.

When you take time each morning to declare your intentions and then to feeeeeeeeeeel those intentions all day long, you will see that you possess an amazing almost magical power to create what you desire.

When you feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel what you want over and over and over again and then take inspired actions that go with those feeeeeeeeelings you will discover you can attract to you exactly what you choose to experience.

Life is about creating what YOU want and living how YOU want to live.

Nike says, "Go for it!" and I say, "Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for it!".

Manifesting Intentions

Life is magical to me. We manifest our intentions by feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling those intentions over and over again. Then we create through those feeeeeeeeeeeelings we have been radiating.

Whatever we put our attention and intentions to and feeeeeeeeeeel present to the majority of the time is what we make connections to and what is created.

Focusing our feeeeeeeeeelings means we are connected and present and aware of our intentions and knowing that we create our futures by feeeeeeeeeeeeling them.

I am feeeeeeeeeeeling about walking with ease and creating new things in my life and work experience as I feeeeeeeeeeeeel what is needed next on my life and work journey.

Healing and Insights

I spent several hours this morning on the table of a fantastic massage therapist who is a healer. She also went through my coach training program years ago and now blends body massage with coaching as you are on the table.

As she worked on my foot and leg and Achilles she began to coach me and to find out the why of this experience and to open up to now letting it go and being done with it as well as the extra weight I am carrying due to it.

I got off the table with such deep insights I was shaking!

I now even have more passion for my calling, am ready to shed the weight and have begun to walk in a more normal fashion and for the first time since Sept. 7, 2006, I am wearing shoes!

With An Open Heart

During my morning meditation these words came to me and I kept hearing them all day. Keeping an open heart speaks to me of tenderness, passion and simple sincerity. I believe coaching goes straight to the heart and we move our clients to deep reflections and lift them into delicious tranquility and inner calm and peace.

A new way to language coaching for me!

Body Shape

After being in a cast for three months and immobilized and in bed and then in a wheelchair for another two months and being on all kinds of medications, I gained almost 25 pounds! So I am back now to creating my ideal body yet I still can't walk well or exercise, so the journey without body movement will be longer.

I am ready to re-claim my goddess body that serves me best and makes me feeeeeeeeeel my best and will take my time releasing the pounds and getting back into the body I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeel most ideal in.

Here I go!

My What Bugs Me List

I journaled last evening about things on my mind, to shed them, as they were bugging me. This is an exercise I do with my clients and I am always doing what I ask my clients to do.

So, here is my what bugs me list:

People who like to hide behind attorneys and won't work out and handle their own difficulties as adults

People who pretend to like you and don't fully communicate with you as they really don't like you

People who lie to your face

People who pretend to be spiritual but are clearly not in integrity and don't know what the essence of spirit is

Having pain in my Achilles

Being on medication for my Achilles

Gaining weight from not being allowed to be active in 4 months and taking medications which cause weight gain

Being made wrong by people

People who pretend to be coaches but don't use coaching skills to live and communicate and be

Coach training programs that turn out coaches with low skills and that can't make a living as a coach

Coaches who are given the best marketing and curriculum and yet refuse to use it and don't make a six figure income

Ok, that felt better last night...

Still does!

Soul Coaching

After almost 8 months I finally have a name for what I am offering and how I do my coaching and in 2007 I have named it soul coaching. This is a deep and different process than any coach I know does and is based on my life experience, work experience and coaching, mentoring and training experiences with thousands of clients world wide.

Soul coaching opens up your soul and puts it on the table. It allows my clients to get to the inner parts of their bodies and minds that they keep closed off and to be there "naked" showing all they are to themselves. Then we re-build with love and tenderness to create the life they desire by going through in depth mind, body, spirit soul coaching to self discovery.

They emerge real, authentic, honest and finally get "happy" and the feeeeeeeeeeeeeeelings of happiness, peace and calm inside.

This is not for everyone and I will take select people on soul coaching journey's this year.

Stay tuned to www.TerriLevine.com to learn more and to get some resources to serve you.

Stop Managing and Start Coaching

One of the companies I consult and coach with asked me to create a plan with them on how to deal with their low performers.

We took a Stop Managing, Start Coaching approach based on my international bestseller by the same name and co-created our coaching plan.

We sat with each employee and made them aware of their productivity rate, their amount of days in late, days called out and reports sent in late. We shared the statistics and came from the approach that we wanted them to see what we had seen.

We held no judgment, we didn't make them wrong and we praised and honored all they were doing right first.

They were all shocked and some embarrassed by the actual statistics.

Then we asked them to co-create an action plan that matched their real abilities and their real gifts and talents, which is why they were hired in the first place.

Each one created a plan and I trained their managers to coach them through the plan each week. I am sharing with you today that the CEO told me on our coaching session today that the improvement went from 72% productivity in August of 2006 to 87% as of today! We are both delighted.

Coaching works. Managing is dead.

Stop Managing, Start Coaching!

As 2007 Begins...

As 2007 begins it is clear that when people do the work they love and work that gives them freedom to be home based, data shows those people to be happier and healthier and to live more full and balanced lives. Working from home is the way to enjoy life and family more.

We try not to pay attention to this information and we sweep it under the carpet. I know, I did this for 10 miserable years and my clients around the world have also done this. We don't trust our inner guidance system that is telling is our work is not fun, is a chore, keeps us away from living our lives and being a real part of society and being with our families and taking care of ourselves mentally and spiritually.

Do you have the power to make the healthy change of giving up your JOB?

You don't have to do this alone. I am here to help you and guide you. Studies show that on-going support makes all the difference from success to failure in achieving your goals. That is why I provide support to you to stay on track and deal with the stress and distractions and your fears that keep you in a JOB you want to leave.

If you are ready to allow us to help you leave that JOB, call 877-401-6165 and speak with Cindy.

My goal is to assist you to live well and be well and to create the life you want in 2007!

2007 - What Are You Looking Forward To?

According to Wikipedia, 2007 is the 2007th year of the Gregorian calendar, the 7th year in the 21st Century, and the 7th year in the 3rd millenium.

And some of the things we can look forward to this year includes Bulgaria and Romania joining the European Union; many countries/cities around the world banning smoking in restaurants, work places, and other public places; Daylight saving time in the United States and most of Canada will begin, four to five weeks ahead of the previous schedule, in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 2005; the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Helsinki, Finland; in June NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft will make its second flyby of Venus en route to Mercury; in July the New Seven Wonders of the World are set to be revealed in a ceremony in Portugal; the new Harry Potter film will be released… hello, are you still with me here?

Okay, fair enough, you could care less about some of these things... maybe something a little closer to home will interest you... like, what are YOU doing in 2007 that is special or interesting? Or are you just going to be doing the same old same old?

Sometimes our life and financial circumstances are such that we can't always do much about how we live our lives, and I think such times are great for planning. Because life is never static. Change is inevitable. Opportunities are around but you have to play your part and keep an eye out for them and recognize them when you see them!

Some of you might consider new careers, some of you might be thinking of starting new or finishing old relationships, some may want to travel, some may want to renovate, some may want to embark on a course of self-development.

Don't feel like a failure if you have no plans made at all. There is no law that says you have to do something new and different and announce it in the first month of every new year. You may feel like doing something new and different later on in the year, and that is perfectly acceptable.

The point I'd like to make is you should, if you can, make the most of your life and don't look back at the end of another year and sigh heavily, wishing and full of "if only's".

2007 is not just another new year. It's another year in your life. Make it count. Make it matter. Find a way to make it matter! Give yourself something to look back on proudly and joyfully.

By the way, if you're not happy in your job and you've wondered about working from home in some kind of professional business, I have a free report that reveals "How To Turn Your Passion Into Profits in 30 Days or Less." For your free report phone: 877-401-6165 ext 82 and Cindy will organize it for you.

AULD LANG SYNE

People all over the world sing in the new year each midnight with this song, but how many know what it means or where it comes from, or give it any thought at all?

It's attributed to the Scottish poet Robert Burns, but it appears he just added a couple of verses to what was already a song sung in Scotland prior 1700. However, it is Robert Burn's version that is the Auld Lang Syne people sing today. It literally means "old long ago"... you know, way back in the good ole days!

Have you noticed when everyone stands around in a circle holding hands on New Year's Eve, everyone belts out the first line or two and then it becomes a sort of mumbled song and who knows WHAT they're singing! And it goes on like that to the end and suddenly everyone knows the words again and belts them out clearly. Don't be embarrassed if you are one of these people who just sings the beginning and the end... I'm going to give you the words so you have all year to practice it, so next New Year's Eve you can show off to everyone how YOU know all the words! Here is the version as it is popularly sung now in modern times:

Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

Chorus

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld Lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

Verse Two

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang sine

Chorus (repeat)

For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld Lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

Apparently, the translation of a guid-willie waught is a good drink/toast.

So there you go! Don't say you don't learn anything on my blog site!

Happy new Year!
