Is it the end?

How do you know when is the end of cycle in the financial markets.
Well………..you never know until we are after the bottom……and we haven't been there yet. On January 2007 I wrote ,watch out from stock exchange ,but it can take few months before it will go down.
The reason I said it was that almost everybody was sure money in on the floor, you just have to pick it. You can't loose on stocks, you can't loose on real estate…..SO easy to make money.
Every one knows what happened since than…………….so what's now? As in 2007 (but the opposite), everyone says how bad it will go, everybody is so pessimist………..guys, its TIME TO MOVE!!!
It still not the bottom BUT we are close. It can take few more months and one you see there no big changes in the markets, it seems not interesting, looks like a dead man cardio (-----------) , that’s the time to go in.
And of course, make sure you don't need the money for long time and be patient!!!! When there is blood on the street………….its time to make money!!!!
Good luck!

sometime your coach needs a coach

It's bizarre when the people you work with (as coach) are going through issues in their life that are the same issues you are going through at the same time.
Or maybe it isn't so strange? Maybe when they choose you, they see something in you that reflect something about their life?
Or maybe we all go through the same issues/problems?
The main problem as a coach is how to leave your "stories" a side, how to listen to them and not to yourself, and how to overcome your own judgment, points of view and believes.
The most "terrified" thing is to see your clients do the move, transform , move forward and you just stuck.
My advice my dear friends (coaches)………..renew your relations with your private coach.

sometimes cigar is just a cigar!

There are the three common (Men?) lies :………..the check is in the mail………….i called and there was no answer………..and the third that if you do know it,its ok, and if not…search for it:-)
I think there is in our digital world there is the forth one: " I sent you mail". Or "I didn't get your mail". During the last months I heard these sentences too much and I found my self saying it to people too many times.
last time it happened to me was this morning when I figure out I didn't hear from one of my CTI leaders about a meeting which I canceled and couldn't attend (sorry for this D.). I could hear in his SMS, that he is not quite sure I sent him cancellation mail.
Checked my sent mail and there it was…I did sent it and I do believe he didn't get it.
As I said I had plenty of these during the last month. My advices:
If this is important – double check if people got your mail, call .SMS, shout……….just double check.
Check your spam/junk folders…..i found there many interesting and important mails there.
Use gmail/hotmail/facebook.......as back up or secondary mail.

And if you do hear it again , try to believe, it does happen, mail sometimes doesn't arrive and no bounced message………..
sometime a cigar is just a cigar!!(thanks D for reminding me)

Since i haven't found the forth lie……I am open to suggestions!
