If you don’t use tent weights, it will fly up at the first strong wind that comes by. If you only use a few but not enough, the tent will remain stable for a little while but if it becomes very windy, it will still fly up. The more tent weights you use, the sturdier your tent will be. And that’s why it is important to have as many anchors in your life as possible so that you can weather any storm that comes in your life and maintain your peace of mind.

My coaching service teaches new authors how to self-publish, where to self-publish based on their unique needs, and how to reach their target market using social media. This has been a passion project for me since I love to help people reach their goals in general and wanted to assist someone in publishing their first book under their own name or company. In essence, I am helping folks become business owners and generate an additional stream of revenue.
The first step in recovery from mental illness is realizing you have a problem and the second step is seeking professional help. But is counseling really that easy to come by? The short answer is no.
