Reflections on a Sprained Ankle

I recently sprained my left ankle when I missed a step coming out of a building in Arlington, MA.  I managed to recover from missing the first step by running forward to keep myself upright.  Now this usually works when I d it, but unfortunately for me this time, there was another step just across the small landing that I missed as well while running to recover from the first and down I went. 

The interesting thing here was that once I got past the pain and began to be aware of my surroundings again, I realized that there were a bunch of people surrounding me.  Even after the EMS and ambulance arrived, there were bystanders asking me if I needed anything.  Since completing the hospital visit where I discovered that I had partially torn my achilles tendon (nothing that a few days of bedrest won't cure - but it hurts like the dickens), I asked a friend to pick me up from the hospital and help me get my car out of the parking lot in Arlington before it got towed.  We managed to get me home and up the stairs to my second floor residence where I have not budged from since.

Being housebound has had some interesting implications for me.  I've been forced to sit still for a while.  Even the act of making phone calls has become a challenge as my phone is in a different place than my computer.  This has forced me to sit still long enough that I've started looking at my life and my business and realizing that I'm not doing as much of what I enjoy as I would like to be doing. 

What do I enjoy?  I enjoy people!  I love talking to entrepreneurs like you who want to take their businesses to the next level.  I love helping you identify what patterns are getting in your way, what skills you have that can help you move forward and providing you with tools to get you there.  That's what really gets me jazzed is personal interaction. 

That's why I'm going to be making a few changes in the way I do things.  Don't worry - I'll still offer the great products and online training that I've always done, but I'm going to add in some more stuff that gets me into personal contact with you.  I'm in conversation right now with a company that will be marketing some webinars for me.  That's right - for all of you who have been waiting for me to come to your area, I'll be doing it via the web within the month.  I'm also going to be offering telephone coaching - both in a group setting and one-on-one. 

I want to talk to you!  I want to get to know you.  All of the things I teach about are things that I loved doing with my clients and I want to do the with you too. 

So keep your eyes open in the coming weeks for the announcements as I roll out these new items.  The one-on-one coaching is available now if you're interested.  I'll even give you one session for free to see how you like it.  Just click here to find out more...

Thanks for listening - I look forward to talking to you directly soon!
