THELifeCoach has spent decades studying the tools to success, empowerment and personal happiness. He respects immensely other coaches/gurus who promise success but believes fundamentally they are limited -- or, as he stated more fully recently at a global conference, "imbeciles who make fireflies seem cognitively advanced."

THELifeCoach has studied with teachers at some of America's finest mid-level community colleges and he has written columns for many blogs and magazines which, if you follow, will lose you money and psychological and spiritual capital.

In private practice, THELifeCoach has counseled millions of grateful people, including Jim Cramer and Donald Trump (both of whom he considers close clients) as well as Eiliot Spitzer, the nutty infomercial TV guy who recently died (Billy something) and (before she passed) Amelda Marcos. THELifeCoach never discounts his hourly rate -- only losers do that, he has said.

THELifeCoach has been invited to speak at the White House -- but was unable to attend because of a previous periodontal appointment -- and his bestselling books have been published in 26 languages, including braille...though THELifeCoach continues to believe that if blind people would truly apply themselves, try really really hard, they could see and read like the rest of us...though, the fact that they don't doesn't make them "losers," THELifeCoach points out.
