Bill Frase is a Law of Attraction Coach whose main focus is helping people release their fears quickly and easily while helping them reconnect to their passions. These are the two main ingredients necessary to create the life a person was born to live. Fear is at the root of any lack of holistic success in life. It is the barrier that too often stops people from being who they really are and doing what they came to this planet to do.

A huge part of Bill's practice involves giving people a tool kit of self-help, energetic clearing practices to release fear-based survival mechanisms so that people can lead generous and abundant lives. He teaches his clients how to release their fears from the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their beings for maximum results to make the life transformation process as easy and speedy as possible. When people work directly on creating shifts in this way, big changes come very quickly and naturally.

Bill works with people in-person, over-the-phone, and via e-mail. For more information, check out Bill's FREE holistic success resources at www.billfrase.com. He can also be reached at bill@billfrase.com or 412-856-4129.

One very important source of innovation for us as business owners is learning from others in our businesses, and we do that by sharing with them and possibly teaming to provide quality and quantity to any engagement.

Each of us spends a great deal of time "networking" in the business world trying to find new clients, but when is the last time you "networked internally" with one of your fellow coaches. It's a great opportunity to learn from each other - especially for those of us who are new to the coaching business, as well as those who have laid the foundation for coaching as a business.

Maybe we should start to ask ourselves some powerful questions:

1. What do I need to change to grow my business?
2. How have I positioned myself in the market?
3. What obstacles have kept me from getting what I want?
4. How can I move forward?

We invite experienced coaches, as well as those new to the profession, to join the Pittsburgh Coaches Association (PCA).

Not a coach? Now you can join PCA as an Associate!
