    About this ebook

    The fastest growing entrepreneurial industry is Life Coaching. Many individuals want to get on with their lives and move forward. Life Coaching is not therapy; it is a way in which one person has the skills and empathy to help individuals clarify their wishes, desires, goals and prospects for the future. The clients’ possible procrastinations have hindered them from changing direction.

    You will be able to help them move from the abstract to a workable approach to solve their perceived problems. You will engage them from ongoing thoughts to taking action. Very often, deep seated, unresolved problems, which have never been dealt with before, can become a process for the clients to resolve them on their own. Remember, you are not a therapis; you are helping them clarify their own situation.

    You will have the tools to help them proceed.
    To be a Life Coach is a very important career choice. Being empathetic and congruent in the moment without value judging your clien. You will not only be a coach, but a teacher as well. You are not a therapist unless you have a state license to do so. California, according to the Department of Consumer Affairs, does not require a license to practice Life Coaching. Check with your particular state, country, etc.

    An individual wanting to engage in this profession must have a desire to help people seeking clarification of their particular situations. I have been a psychotherapist for over thirty years and the most gratifying experiences have been helping individuals move forward in their lives.

    I have included the basic approach to Life Coaching.

    A Life Coach could not possibly know all the professions an individual wishes to pursue, as well as finances, retirement, health issues, family problem, marriage, child rearing, communication, etc. The list is endless.

    The Life Coach deals with the clients’ concerns and wishes. The Life Coach structures a process whereby the clients agree to follow the agreed upon parameters. The clients set the time table to complete tasks which the Life Coach agrees to support the clients, and monitors their progress.

    My non-fiction books represent my interests in helping the population at large. I am a psychotherapist & Life Coach and have tried to approach my interests to help the human condition, as illustrated in: Drinking & Driving, Self Hypnosis, Portraits of Passion, 90 Important Things to Survive the Future. Being a SAG-AFTRA actor I wrote Screenwriting Made Easy, and subsequent screenplays as books: Miltee, Ed Boudreau, Press Bet, Brief Encounter, Love Is A Many Splendid Thing. These are all fictional and character driven letting my creative imagination take hold. In Portraits of Passion I interviewed 32 men and women about creativity & passion for work. Some of them were known participants: Charles M Schulz(snoopy), Robert Mondavi, Melvin Belli, Steve Allen, Norman Cousins,Jerry Jampolsky, Linus Pauling, John Wooden, Alice Faye, and many others. Their work was their life!

      Dear Marshall: Thank you again for showing interest in my future and opening the door into the entertainment business. Your help has been greatly appreciated, and I look forward to what the new opportunities will bring. Sincerely, JH 2011

      Hi Marshall: My goodness, I am in shock after reading through the email you sent me last week, you have gone above and beyond and I cannot thank you enough for all of this priceless information! I think my first step will be to do some additional research as well as call each casting agency, then practice in front of a mirror while whitening my teeth-all my tea in the morning has done some damage I am sure.

      I cannot tell you how much this means to me Marshall, you going through all the trouble of walking me through this toward a (potential!) opportunity, means so very much. I am quite positive I will be referencing this email often. You have blown me away with; kindness and inspired me in many ways, and so I would like to thank you for everything,

      Sincerely,

      KA 2012

      Dear Marshall: Thank you for all the great information; and for taking the time to help me. I really appreciate it. I will stay in contact with you to figure out the next steps to take. I hope you have a great day..

      Marshall: I wanted to thank you for all of you help and advice. Your emails have been encouraging and have been a motivation for me.

      Sincerely,

      HS 2013

      Marshall: Thank you for just the possibility of this opportunity. I appreciate you taking the time to chat with me and sending me that amazing information. I look forward to your continued mentorship and all the possibilities that may come my way.

      FOREWORD

      My non-fiction books represent my interests in helping the population at large. I am a psychotherapist & Life Coach and have tried to approach my interests to help the human condition, as illustrated in: Drinking & Driving, Self-Hypnosis, Portraits of Passion: Aging Defying The Myth, 90 Important Things to Survive the Future. Being a SAG-AFTRA actor I wrote Screenwriting Made Easy, and subsequent screenplays as books: Miltee: Lost in The Museum, Ed Boudreau, Press Bet, Brief Encounter, Love Is A Many Splendid Thing. These are all fictional and character driven; letting my creative imagination take hold.

      In Portraits of Passion, I interviewed 32 men and women about creativity & passion for work. Some of them were known participants: Charles M Schulz (snoopy), Robert Mondavi (Wine Industry), Melvin Belli (King of Torts), Steve Allen (Radio and TV Talk Host), Norman Cousins (Editor, The New Yorker), Jerry Jampolsky (Center For Attitudinal Healing), Linus Pauling (Nobel Prize Winner), John Wooden (Famous Basketball Coach), Alice Faye (30’s & 40’s Actress and Author), and many others. Their work was their life!

      Basically, I am a teacher. I’ve coached/mentored individuals to pursue avenues they never thought was open to them, one of which is the entertainment business with its diverse appeal of work that we are all familiar with, not withstanding, being an actor. I will include some, but not all testimonials of the people whom I have helped. My hope is that this book inspires other to become teachers and life coaches as a self–satisfying profession. In my experience, most people are more than they think they are. They have to reprogram the tape in their brain and clear out the hurdles keeping them from moving in other self-satisfying directions
