Hi, I’m Tommy. I’m your success coach for the next 28 days. Born and reared in Ireland where I live with my wife Sandra, I have worked most of my life in the motor business. In 2009 I studied and qualified as a life coach because I wanted to improve my skills in motivating and coaching staff. I discovered a new profession that actually produces very positive results. In 2011, affected by the economic crisis, I wrapped up my motor business, and free time led me to look at life coaching along with my other skills to help me discover which direction is best for me going forward. At fifty, I really wanted my own life to take a different direction. Wanting is a bit like wishing; I know how to coach, now I have to do things for myself, start all over again. I’m lucky I have plenty of experience and I’ve achieved my life long ambitions to own and operate a successful dealership. It’s now time to bank this success and move forward.
I am not an academic, and this program was written for ordinary people like myself. Thankfully success such as running a business is for everyone. There are no educational requirements; one only needs the right attitude. Please feel free to email me tommymacken@goforlifecoaching.com and I assure you I will reply.
-- Tommy
It is a duty to develop unceasingly one’s intelligence,
To strengthen one’s character,
To become a creature of thought and will;
It is a duty to view life with joy and to face it with energy.
Finally it is a duty to be able to understand one’s time and not to despair of the future.
Elizabeth Liseur.
