After 27 years in the Real Estate Industry, she quit. Meet Jen Synder!

When she quit she became very miserable! She hated that industry, hated her mission, hated their mission. Burnt out, she didn't feel like she was doing anything to help people. She discovered that her calling in life is to help people.

For the last year before she quit she had this idea that kept nagging at her. Thats when things changed. Now she has 3 kids and for the last 10 years has been self-employed. That means I have almost always been there when my kids need me. What if I could teach other women how to do this? How to make an income from home so they could have the flexibility and freedom to be with their kids?

In February of 2016 she started her dream, Women Winning Online was born. It blends her two passions: helping women build their own online businesses and having time for her family.

Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen. Pete Carroll

Are you a coach or interested in starting a coaching practice? If so, this is a fantastic place to start. What I really enjoyed about this book is clutter free and a no bullshit guide to coaching. The authors describe it as a book for those already earning 6 figures and up from their coaching business or those just starting out. As a coach myself I found it tremendously insightful and would listening to again. And no matter your experience as a coach there is always something new to learn.

I listened to this as an Audio book and that was narrated by the authors themselves, which I like as I think it helps keep the messages true. Each chapter is brief and to the point, almost like a dot form presentation – no extra fluff needed.Are you a coach or interested in starting a coaching practice?

At the age of 14, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, Madre Sarita. From that early age, he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita's prayers, lectures and workshops from Spanish into English. Through interpreting for Madre Sarita, don Miguel Jr. came to understand the power of faith.

Don Miguel Jr.'s apprenticeship lasted 10 years. When he reached his mid-20's, his father intensified his training. At the apex of this powerful journey don Miguel said to his eldest son, "Find your way out. Go home and master Death by becoming alive."

For the past eight years, don Miguel Jr. has applied the lessons learned from his father and grandmother to define and enjoy his own personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation.

Today, don Miguel Jr. is married and has two young children. And so, as a Nagual he begins once again to pass along the wisdom and the tools of his family's traditions in helping others to achieve their own personal freedom and optimal physical and spiritual health.
