Donny Deutsch - More Than Meets The Eye

As I was walking last night waiting outside my kids' karate school, I was finishing up Donny Deutsch's book "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt."

The title caught my attention.

I had just let my business coach go (the minuses simply outweighed the pluses) and felt a little lost for a week or two. Looking for a new direction, I felt fear and doubt creeping up on me. The fear of making the wrong move, the doubt of taking the wrong project...I hate feeling this way. Before I started working with a coach, this was never an issue. I knew I could do it, but having someone else to ask for a second opinion for the last 3 years kind of grows on you...I developed some habits that now needed to be broken.

Donny's book simply blew me away. He is "Mr. Outside the Box." I always talk about living and working on my own terms, but Donny just brought it into a new light for me. BE WHO YOU ARE is what comes loud and clear through his book...Of course, sometimes it cost him dearly, but in the end people who get him and know him and love him won't care.

The book also made me a fanatic of his show, The Big Idea. I was already watching it for the last year or so, but now I realized it's a daily episode - yipee! - and can't wait till 10 pm EST to turn on my TV and go to sleep with Donny's inspiring messages (sometimes it's "Bite me, people who didn't believe in me!", but still.)

One day I'll be sitting in that TV studio across from Donny talking about coaching business, being a home-based business mom, an immigrant who completely changed her life direction by coming (ok, by being dragged by her family) to the U.S. at 19.

Thinking of writing a second book, I am amazed at how open Donny was. I don't think I can be that way in a book, although my "Coaching Millions" readers tell me that they keep hearing my voice as they read it.

Love you, Donny. For the two weeks of inspiration you "whispered" in my ear. (Thank God for audiobooks. This is the only way I would ever get to enjoy thousands of "pages" of absolutely amazing wisdom, inspiration, stories, and food for soul. I get mine at www.simplyaudiobooks.com.)
