Sharon Good - Good life coaching

surround yourself with positive and successful people and it will motivate you to be more like them.

people that are ahead are people who are wiling to keep learning. it's the old dogs who are unwilling to learn new tricks that are having a hard time moving into their next career.

assess your skill set and take some classes to fill in the gaps.

update your resume

targeting your transferable skills rather than your job history

nothing can take the place of persistence.

talents will not.nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talents.

Genius is not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not: the world is full of educated derelict. Persistence and determination is omnipotent.

• Each of us comes into this world with a unique set of gifts and talents. It is through these gifts and talents that we can not only bring the greatest joy into our lives, but also make our greatest contribution. My mission is to help people live joyful, authentic lives that reflect their passions and values.

• No dream is right or wrong, too big or too small. One of my passions is to encourage and support others to follow their desires and dreams despite the discouraging messages they've received. As children, we're applauded for our talents and steered away from the things in which we display less ability. I strongly believe that if we feel a burning desire to do something, there's a reason for it -- one that may not become clear to us until years down the road. We each have unique gifts that we bring to the world, and our desires lead us to express those gifts. In the process, we uncover hidden talents and develop new ones. I, personally, have found success in areas that I was attracted to, but in which I was considered to lack talent. If I can do it, so can you.

• We're living in a changing world where self-fulfillment and expressing our gifts and talents -- in other words, bringing meaning and purpose to our lives -- is becoming more important than acquiring wealth and status. We're in a transition period, and many of us are still finding our way out of the old paradigm into the new. Using the Life Purpose Process and my own life experiences, I get great joy and reward helping other people find their way through this transition into a new, more enjoyable life, to living their dreams.

• A lot of us get stuck in our past -- who we once were, what people told us about ourselves -- and we limit what we can do in the present and the future. By dropping the baggage of our past and changing the old, outdated beliefs, we free ourselves to soar into the future we dream of.
