A friend emailed me this cartoon about life coaching.  (If you are having trouble reading the words on the cartoon, click on the picture for a full-size version.)

With every joke, there’s an element of truth. Unfortunately, too many trained coaches are emerging from coaching schools without any sense of what it takes to run a business. The dream may be grounded in a larger vision of human potential and some solid skills, but it also requires a small biz attitude.
