    Can I just say that I LOVE this thread and all the people and positivity on it. The talk of 'toxic' people reminds me of something I heard a few years ago about people being either 'radiators' or 'drains' and it certainly struck a chord with me.

    Just a quick visit tonight - been a night of lovely phone calls - now I've got a quick 15 minute coaching call to do. Its a "think abut t overnight and get back to me in the morning" kind of thing.

    Looking at the people on the bottom of my list - I've decided they add nothing to my life and need to be let free to discover their perfect matches (Oh Lordy!!!)

    Back in the morning

    I'm back I've managed to mend 3 bracelets :) but my back has started to ache its sitting at the dining table that does it :)

    Claire, you are probably doing it for too long - any chance you would consider using the timer (every 15 min, no joke) and get up and move around? Or change positions - experiment with height and different chairs (also there are plastic cushions that help).

    That would really be something! I'm sure your tour will take you round here - you'll be very welcome! I'll even have a table by then - my sister is buying me one as a housewarming present :j

    I'd like to ask a coaching question of the matrix in general - I'm on the email list for the Rich Dad, Poor Dad people, and there were some coaching questions, and I answered them and ended up a few days ago with a 20 minute phone call from America that was a preliminary "screening" and I now have an hour long phone call from the States tomorrow, with a little questionnaire by email to fill in beforehand.

    This isn't like the coaching offer that MG has had! I'm absolutely sure that the programme costs a *lot* of money. There's also a free coaching programme, for 360 days, on the web, that I was reading when I got sidetracked into these phone calls. I'm really not happy about the phone calls and the amount of psychological information they want, while telling me nothing about costs and what the coaching programme entails. I can hear my own "no, no no" really clearly, but I'm not sure whether thats my common sense or my negativity .... anybody else got any info about these people?

    Hi KC - I don't have direct knowledge of this but read Rich Dad Poor Dad when I had a copy to sell on Amazon and wasn't that impressed to be honest. I think the important thing is where you say; 'I can hear my own "no, no no" really clearly', - so maybe listen to and trust your gut instinct?? Please take care and don't agree to anything you aren't comfortable with, especially if you have to pay out up front :eek:
