“How To Make Your Direct Marketing Writing Efforts Walk, Talk, And Breathe”
4 Strategies Every Health, Fitness, and Small Business Owner Should Know About To Win With Customers, Clients, And Champions
Now here are some ways to help you to perfect, polish, and strengthen your writing efforts. Apply these tools to your tool box and you’ll create writing that walks, talks, and breathes!
Use A Thesaurus
Obvious, isn’t it? You’ve probally used a thesaurus at some time or another. Most writers use it for the wrong reasons they still think writing has to be intellectual. In my experience making things to complex for my audience to read turns them off. Keeping things simple seems to always work best for results. Use a thesaurus to keep your writing simple and direct. Afterall, we are not writing to one another well at least I think we aren’t or are we?
Use a Simile Book
A simile, by the way, is a phrase used to compare two different ideas. For example: “as compelling as a gun to your head” that is using a simile. A simile can give your reader a nice jolt they might be reading along and suddenly you make a comparison that surprises him. Thats electrifying! When using similes, try and make your own words. Add this to your tool box of tricks and watch your readership increase.
Use a Book Of Analogies
“Become a writing wizard.” Turn your writing into spells no mortal can resist!”
Find books that inspire you to create power writing. Certainly when you do you’ll find words tickling your mind into creating juicy new phrases. One must read is: The Analogy Book of Related Words By Selma Glasser. Use this book as your word- storming partner and watch the excitement of your crowd soar Guaranteed!
Use a Book Of Quotes
If anything else lets face it Quotes look good on page, don’t they?
Let us resolve to be masters, not victims , of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions.
– John F. Kennedy
Two reasons to use quotes are they are visually appealing and they create dialogue and dialogue is alive. Try these strategies out for size and have fun with your writing the rest will take care of it self.

Many amateur golfers approach the intricacies of the golf swing sequence with a sense of awe and mystery. However, there may be less mystery involved than at first appears.
You may think it sounds crazy to claim that there is little mystery to the swing. Looking at famous pro golfers, it’s true to say that most if not all have trouble with their swing, and most golfing legends have amended their swing at some stage of their career.
Well, the stroke itself has no mystery. The sequence is quite straightforward – you have the backswing taking you to the pinnacle, followed by the downswing leading to contact with the golf ball, and the follow-through which takes you to the final position.
The problem is, any of these stages can and does impact the accuracy of the ensuing shot, so you need to develop fluency through the entire sequence to consistently enjoy the benefits of a good swing. This is where the fun begins!
Many people make the fundamental error of attempting to emulate their favorite golfer. Bear in mind that every pro player’s stroke is unique to them and has been tailored to their exact needs by their coach. Even if, on the surface, two players’ shots seem similar, the mental process each player goes through to achieve that stroke will be quite different.
Some pros’ swings are ‘text-book perfect’ – any coach would be delighted if you or any golf student could develop a similar swing. But it has to be said that some of the top players have downright awkward swings – if you presented yourself to a coach with a swing like that he would probably do his level best to improve it for you. But, it works for that player, and attempting to copy that swing would most likely be counter-productive for anybody else. And, if that awkward swing won you millions of dollars in a golf tournament, would you try to improve it, or would you be happy to keep it ugly?
The ideal swing for you will depend to a large extent on your physical attributes. Broadly speaking, it will vary according to your physique, and whether you have more strength in your legs or your arms. It will also depend on your suppleness and muscular strength. Of course, this means that it will vary at different stages of your life, according to your general fitness level, joint flexibility, overall strength, amongst other things.
For instance – some swing techniques entail striking the ground, and if your wrists don’t have the strength to handle this, that type of swing will probably never work well for you. By the same token, if you have successfully used that swing in the past, but have now developed a problem with your wrists, it’s probably better to look at another type of stroke than try to recover your old skill with your accustomed shot.
At the end of the day, analyzing the basic mechanics of the stroke can be very beneficial to the amateur golfer, but once you progress beyond a purely recreational interest, you will almost certainly need professional assistance from a coach or instructor to effect much improvement in your golf swing sequence.

What’s your choice of activity? Is it hanging out at the gym doing your favorite aerobic workout or indoor climbing activity? Or do you favor the outdoors – a good long run, a brisk hike or maybe a bicycle tour several times a week? Regardless of your activity of choice, it’s likely you’re choosing something that helps you stay fit while having fun at the same time. Personally, my favorite fitness activity involves a healthy combination of the martial arts and weight training. This great fitness program involves activities that tone my body, keep me healthy and maximize my fitness level. Tell me, what’s your activity of choice for maximal health and fitness? Could it be swimming, running, bicycling or maybe boxing fitness? If you’re tenacious about exercise, success is inevitable.
Have you ever considered the benefits of boxing fitness? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, think Tae Bo. This boxing fitness craze helped thrust fitness boxing into the whole fitness limelight. Even though Tae Bo is a type of kickboxing, it still carries many of the qualities that other boxing fitness activities have. I once knew an amateur boxer who used boxing as a form of exercise as well; I learned a great deal about fitness boxing by working with him. He was hooked on the activity and used it to keep fit and trim. He told me about the diligence this type of training required and he reminded me about all the hours those who engaged in boxing spent in the ring each day. He showed me all about the cardiovascular work involved in boxing fitness and I was amazed. Boxing is clearly superior to most of the martial arts activities and programs one can engage in. Fitness boxing is not an ancient art form. If you have doubts, step into the ring at the gym some day and give the activity a try. The sweat on your brow will provide you with all the proof you’ll need that this is an activity worth doing as a fitness activity. There are several ways to approach this activity. Check with a fitness coach for the activities available at your gym.
While you may find that fitness boxing is fun, you probably don’t realize how much this activity gets your body into shape – how you can be toned, cardio-active and fit. All the while, you’ll be learning the fine art of boxing itself. Boxing teaches you self defense techniques that may come in handy some day and is an art form that few today really understand. If you are starting to believe that fitness boxing is the fitness activity for you, check out the various places for this activity that are close to where you live. It could be at the local gym or even at a boxing facility that trains people in boxing as a regular fitness activity. One way of approaching your search is to go online to the Internet and do a search for “boxing fitness”. You may want to add the name of your town to the search to see if any boxing fitness centers are close to you. You’ll hopefully find a place close to home and you’ll find valuable information on how this art form works and why. Even if you have no specific form of fitness currently, you can get into boxing fitness without prior fitness experience. Boxing can help you get into shape and have fun at the same time.

If you are anything like me, you may have noticed a tremendous
increase in the number of coaches that have appeared recently.
Traditionally, coaches existed primarily in the world of sports,
but you could also find voice, acting and singing coaches.
Today however, this has all changed. Lifestyle, relationship,
personal development, business, soul, life, leadership,
executive, career and countless other types of coaching are now
widely available. So what can these coaches do for us?
The dictionary defines the term “coach” as “someone who
instructs or trains others”. From this definition, at least we
can draw a potential connection between the coaching profession
and ourselves.
So how do you know if you need a coach? Basically, if there are
areas of your life which you would like to improve or enhance,
the opportunity exists to employ a coach.
The Dream Team
In everyday life, we all employ “specialists” to perform various
functions because we have neither the skills nor knowledge to do
the job.
You wouldn’t consider attempting to fill a tooth if you had a
toothache – you would go to your dentist. Would you complete
your own tax return if your objective was to minimize tax
exposure – no, you would visit an accountant. If you were
feeling ill, you wouldn’t (or at least shouldn’t) self-medicate
- you would contact your doctor.
It all comes down to the fact that these professionals have
skills and knowledge that provide faster, better, safer and more
satisfying results than you could possibly achieve on your own.
I refer to this group of people as a “Dream Team” – a group of
professionals to help you achieve that which you want – in the
above-mentioned cases, a nice smile, more disposable income and
good health.
So why stop there? If there are other areas that you want to
change, the same principle applies.
For example, if you had a desire to improve your levels of
health & fitness, you could join a gym. The problem is that the
novelty quickly wears off and, unless you are incredibly
disciplined, it is difficult to keep going on your own. There is
also the dilemma of not knowing which equipment to use or which
exercises to do. In fact, a real issue is not having specific
goals at all, which will leave you lost. The result? You stop
going to the gym and your membership fee is wasted. Even worse,
you will feel like a failure which in turn will lower your
levels of self-esteem, negatively impacting many areas of your
life.
The solution? Get yourself a personal trainer! Make this person
part of your Dream Team. Your trainer (or coach) will help you
define your goals, provide a specific program to follow and will
also give you moral support. This approach offers a much higher
likelihood of accomplishing your goals in this area, and at a
much faster rate.
Other areas that most of us want to improve, include our key
relationships, levels of success or financial freedom. Time
management and career counseling are other potential areas for
improvement.
The problem is most of us don’t know how to
improve or make things better in these areas. We have our own
ways of handling things, which of course, has us where we are
now! Remember Einstein’s definition of insanity; “doing the same
things over and over and expecting different results!” If you
don’t want to qualify as being insane, then something
must change.
The solution of course, is to change your approach, and that
could mean finding someone that can help you in the specific
area you want to improve – in other words, a coach, to become
part of your Dream Team.
But Whom Do I Choose?
As in all professions, it is a fact that not all coaches are
created equal! Not every coach will be a fit with every client.
In order to select a coach, I would recommend spending some time
to identify your objectives, create some “interview” questions
for potential coaches, define your budget and do some research
to compile a list of potential candidates.
There are a number of coaching organizations and associations on
the web, that have lists of their coaches names, complete with
biographies, qualifications, areas of expertise and contact
information.
When interviewing your prospective coach, think in terms of how
comfortable you would feel working with the person. Are they
someone to whom you would be comfortable sharing personal
information? Do you like them? Do they seem to have an action
plan and strategy process that will help you achieve your goals?
What is their fee and what can you expect for that level of
investment? Can you work with them? Is their interest and
commitment mainly around helping you or collecting their fees?
Interview 3 – 5 candidates. Once you are comfortable, make a
selection and get started! You will quickly be on the road to
achieving your goals.
Please note one thing; hiring a coach to help you improve the
various areas of your life, requires commitment!
The process is likely to take several months and you must be
prepared to “do the work” that goes along with affecting change
in your life. If you are not fully committed to the process, the
result will be frustration (for both of you) and failure, not to
mention a bunch of money spent on nothing!
Affecting meaningful change will take time. Old habits will need
to be broken and new, supportive habits created. It took you
years to get where you are today, so it is unreasonable to
expect that accomplishment of your goals will occur in just a
few weeks!
Coaches are not miracle workers; they cannot do the work for you
or wave a magic wand to make things easy. What your coach
can do is help you to define what it is
specifically that you want, work with you to develop strategic
and tactical plans of action, provide guidance and moral support
in your quest and keep you accountable for following the plan.
With commitment, dedication and a good coach, you will be amazed
at what you can accomplish

When I decided to become a life coach in Milwaukee, Wisconsin it was clear to me that I needed to become not just a life coach, but a holistic life coach. Why? Because I’ve always believed that every aspect of life truly does affect all others.
Think about it a moment. If you are trying to get in shape but find yourself working long hours, juggling family life and other important commitments, I’m willing to bet that the exercise plan is going to fail pretty quickly. Even with the best of intentions, unless you find a way to prioritize your life, delegate a few things and generally find some balance you are not going to see much progress.
This makes plain and simple sense to me. I’ve been married for a couple of million years, raised a family while trying to keep up with work, extended family, school projects for three boys, Boy Scout activities, sports, etc. You get the idea. I know very well that when I was too overwhelmed in one area another would surely suffer. Just the facts of life, that ripple effect that we all know too well. I found out very early that I was the person who wanted to be involved in all activities. Great intentions, but when I spread myself too thin I wasn’t able to be effective or helpful to others. So, I needed to find balance, again and again. That’s a holistic point of view. I had options and choices; these were reevaluated on a continual basis. Did I get it all right? Nope. But I always learned something and looking back I’m very grateful for those lessons.
I continue to try to find balance in my life. Between career, family, social life, fitness, spiritual life, etc. All are important to me and the balance changes constantly. Sometimes I achieve that balance, sometimes I’m a bit off. That’s alright, the process continues.
So, Milwaukee holistic life coach, yep that’s me. I’m always going to ask others to view their life as a whole, not just bits and pieces.
Wishing you a fabulous day as you find the balance in your life,
Warmly,
Sandy
