By Ann Strong, on March 19th, 2018 I’m so excited about contribution right now. In a few months, I will finally be finished writing my second book, Strong from Within! I just completed mentoring a client to coach his clients more deeply. I’m also supporting two clients right now in employing more people locally.
More people living strong from within. More people […]
By Ann Strong, on February 1st, 2018 I made a big financial business mistake last year. I joined a program to teach me THE system for developing my own program without taking the time to understand the fine print and without noticing that several aspects of the program didn’t fit my values.
My Activator strength in its raw form has taken me […]
By Ann Strong, on November 8th, 2017 In the past few weeks, I’ve needed more support than usual from my own coach. And, most of my clients have needed more support from me. One day last week, I received two frantic emails in one day. The subject line of one of them was: Help!
In the 20 years I’ve been coaching, I’d […]
By Ann Strong, on October 24th, 2017 Awhile back, as I was working with a client around the growing pains of her business, she noticed that she’d come to accept that there wasn’t any time for her personal life. Because that was her thinking, her life had become putting out one fire after another.
This alerted me to look more closely at […]
By Ann Strong, on September 5th, 2017 Right now, several of my clients are looking at how to sign up more clients. They all feel challenged because they either hate to sell, wish they didn’t have to sell or both. Maybe you can relate?
So, we’re looking at their love of deep meaningful conversation. We’re coaching around how they love to know […]
By Ann Strong, on July 18th, 2017 Most coaches, solopreneurs, entrepreneurs and small business owners hate marketing and sales. And, it doesn’t take long for them to no longer be in business.
The ones who stick with it and grow a thriving business realize that great marketing and sales isn’t about them, their company or their service. The same is true for […]
By Ann Strong, on June 27th, 2017 If you don’t get your business running smoothly, which is worse, you not making the unique contribution you are here to make or your potential clients not getting the value of your unique contribution? Who wants to have to answer that question?!?
So here’s the thing.
When you can articulate with crystal clarity WHY you […]
By Ann Strong, on January 24th, 2017 As professionals, we have a tendency to talk about our services in terms of our tools and processes. Our clients don’t care about how we do what we do. They want to know that we can help them get to what they desire. And to the deeper desire under that desire.

By Ann Strong, on November 30th, 2016 Shift your focus.
Inevitably, when I get into the nitty gritty with one of my clients about what’s in the way of them signing new clients, the root of the issue is some variation of self-focus and self-consciousness.
I hear things like: “I don’t like to ask them to become a client.” “If they want […]
By Ann Strong, on October 25th, 2016 Last week I attended an “Intentional Connections For Business” in Albuquerque with two of my friends who are also coaches. When we left the event, I realized that the focus had been deeper conversations, which had been wonderful.
