CREATOR

Now available on Amazon HERE

 

 

 

 

      Is creativity reserved for a rare, chosen few—or is it alive in each of us, behind our every breath, our every heartbeat? In CREATOR, Steve Chandler takes us on a voyage of discovery, beyond labels and categories, to a revelation about the true nature of creativity. It is not just within us—it is us. CREATOR opens our eyes and hearts to a new way of being in the world. Wise, poetic, funny—and eminently practical—CREATOR is a lucid and joyful exploration of who we really are.

 

      "This is Steve Chandler’s best book yet.  His stories are funny, engaging, thought provoking and inspiring and he helps us see that we are all connected through our energy and creative potential. He helps me see my relationship to my God-given creativity differently. The source of everything is always there for us to tap into at any moment.  I have used this book to change my work, my relationships and my life."

~ Tina Quinn
Author of Invisible Things


      "If the path to enlightenment is paved with the gold of insight, then Steve Chandler's book, CREATOR, is the Yellow Brick Road. Every page, paragraph, and even line, it seems, resonates with the truth that is within me and awakens me to a desire to create. To progress. To Be."

~ Andrew McKee
Author of Change Your Game, Change Your Life

 

 

      “CREATOR is magic in print! I was completely captivated (and thoroughly entertained) by how Steve Chandler effortlessly floats between spiritually profound and real-world practicality and helps us navigate it all along the way. CREATOR breaks down the walls of our 'conditioning' (even his take on THAT concept created a big shift for me) and introduces us to a life made more prosperous, more fun, more fulfilling and more joyful through the always-available-on-demand power of our creativity!"

~ Jason Goldberg
Author of Prison Break


      “CREATOR takes the reader on an adventure of the spirit-waking us all up to the creative joy of life. Through masterful personal storytelling, Steve Chandler enables you to see for yourself the light of creativity, in all of us, that shows up in the ordinary moments of our lives. Buckle up and experience this extraordinary journey of the human spirit, born from curiosity, love, and consciousness. You will be touched, moved, inspired and rediscover how magnificent and connected you (and we) really are."

NEW book:

RIGHT NOW: Mastering the Beauty of the Present Moment

Now available on Amazon HERE
 

     Steve Chandler's Right Now is his inspiring sequel to the brutally honest story of his addiction recovery, Death Wish.

    With his characteristically short, impactful chapters strung together like a chain reaction, Chandler brings us back to the source of all creation and joy: the present moment. We are left not only with a deep appreciation of the beauty of the "now," but also with many highly-motivating insights into actions we can take RIGHT NOW that we used to think would take a lot of endless preparation and "inner processing."

     Like his bestseller Time Warrior, this book was written to be an antidote to procrastination and worried obsessions about our negative imaginary future. Not only does the skill of living in the moment not make you a couch potato, it actually supplies you with energy you didn't know you had.

    "I wrote this book during the most active time of the Death Wish project," said Chandler. "We had been shipping copies of that book to treatment centers, addiction counselors, prisons and schools and receiving heartfelt feedback on how a simple book can move people to see life from a place of greater hope and optimism. I wanted to write a book during that uplifting time in my life that expressed the hidden energy contained in the present moment...the infinite creative potential of it."

     Based on his decades of experience as a corporate trainer and business coach, plus the improbable journey his own life has taken from addiction, divorce and bankruptcy, Right Now is short on theories and strategies but long on real world experience.

    "I had actually decided after Death Wish to retire from writing," Chandler said. "I couldn't think of anything else I wanted to say. And there were more than enough books by me out there in the world. But one morning I woke up, and then woke up again. I had just dreamed of a book cover that said RIGHT NOW and I realized that I had to write it. The idea was simple: There are things you can do right now. And there's a joy you can feel right now."

"Death Wish…could not put it down until the very last drop.

A eulogy to be sung at ego’s funeral. GOD, Good Ole Death.

'Wanting to thrive, to flourish, to expand upward and outward in a joyful spiral of release is evolutionary.'
Your book will help to evolve our species.

My soul is vibrating, and for that I thank you.

I am already giving your ode to the glorious life to friends, with the echo of my laughter and tears."

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere

someone set me free

January 22, 2019

   My new book, Creator, has just been released and in the back Recommendations section it tells you to come here to this blog site if you want to listen to two of the songs mentioned in the book.

   “The Middle of Nowhere” was written by Fred Knipe and myself back in our music business days when we did songwriting and music publishing for a living. “In Your Right Mind” was written by Fred a few years later after a long conversation we'd had about how natural creativity is for children and how it gets disconnected later in life when social anxieties take over a grown-up's life.

“The Middle of Nowhere”:

Middle of Nowhere

“In Your Right Mind”:

In Your Right Mind

   I hope you enjoy this music.

   And here's a little piece of Creator:

   For many years my job was songwriter. I co-wrote songs with my brilliant collaborator Fred Knipe. One of my favorite songs we wrote was called “The Middle of Nowhere.” One line was, “Out there in the middle of nowhere, someone set me free.”

   Normally the idea of being “in the middle of nowhere” is not so good. But something about that phrase was haunting. And it’s funny what happens when you take a second look at a phrase like that. Even funnier when you put music to it. It changes. What seems bleak and hopeless changes into something else.

   Just like a person’s life when you add the awareness of eternal creativity to it. It’s like putting music to words that never would have been heard.

   Writing that song got a small premonition of insight started in me back then. The insight that opens more every time I hear my recording of Fred singing it. What I now see is that there’s freedom in the middle of nowhere.

   In my mind, the middle of nowhere is where creativity seems to live when we don’t know we have it. It’s as if we’re in the eye of the storm, in the middle of a hurricane of creative energy. It’s where I drop my preconceived thoughts and beliefs about who I am. Or even what I should do next.

   From here, I can open to the source of spirit as taught by Dr. Ron Hulnick in his courses on spiritual psychology. He often invited his students to be willing to enter and stay awhile in “the divine unknowing,” a place the ego always wants to avoid, but a place where you will feel your true creative power.

 The BLOG that creates the SPACE for the SHIFT to happen...

     We are doing another Coaching Prosperity School starting up in August 20 and 21 and February 18 and 19 in Phoenix.

     Each school allows for nine coaches to attend...we focus on only one thing: how to get clients and build prosperity by transformative coaching: Email Steve if you want to know how to attend or to ask about payment plans to attend...... stephendchandler@cs.com. Or ask anything.

    Like who some of the rather prosperous grads are. (Michael Neill, Stephen McGhee, Brian Whetten, Rich Litvin, Kendall Colman, Jim Earley, Google any of these great coaches.)

   The full fee for all six months of work is $9,000 and you can ask about payment plans.

    Here's something we learn in the school: Coaching is about transformation. Change. It's not about advice. Or tips. Or chatting with people. It's not just a sympathetic ear, either, that's just a tiny part of it.

     Coaching is transformation. If you are really into it, you will change your client's life. So act accordingly when you "sell" coaching.

     Most coaches I know sell coaching as if they were selling carpet cleaning...."Here's what it is per hour"...etc. If you are really into it, you will be there for your client more than their parents were, more than their business partner or even spouse is. You'll want to "sell" yourself accordingly. In this school you'll learn that.

    Please let me know ASAP if you have an interest in attending this school. You'd want to be ready to play bigger than you have ever played the game. Email me: stephendchandler@cs.com.

     The Coaching Prosperity School will seat nine coaches around the table. One must apply to be accepted. School begins in Phoenix August 20 and 21.

      In addition to our weekly email Billings and Proposals reports we seven (plus me) will pair off and do a phone session as well. So every coach at the school will experience being coached (and coaching) every other coach in the school. The weekly call will be an hour in duration, first half hour to coach and second half hour to be coached.

    For those coaches entering this school who have not been in any of my four previous coaching schools I will send you upon request some sample weekly email reports for you to read. (With the coaches made anonymous.) Each week you account for your week and I coach you based on your account.

    Sometimes what we're good at keeps us from being great. Especially if we are sole practitioners of our own business-as most coaches are-we have no one to gently push us or challenge the status quo. By not ever being pushed we operate at the lowest levels of success for ourselves, even when those around us see us as super-achievers.

    This school was set up to counter-balance that tendency, and to challenge us (myself included) to fresh new levels of performance.

Double Your Coaching Income    

    This is a school for building a prosperous practice. How to get more clients, how to get bigger and better clients, how to expand services for existing clients, how to increase fees without losing business, how to manage time and resources so your practice can be stress-free with plenty of time off....etc.

      We have had coaches and consultants from England, North Carolina, California, Minnesota, Colorado, Ohio, Washington DC and all over the globe in the first schools....and they all participated in the rigorous six month accountability portion of the school. 

    Coaches are thriving in this recession because they are needed more than ever. Clients are finally serious about getting a coach and making their lives and their careers WORK. Our vacation from history is over. People know it's time to get back in the game.

     In the past, people had a harder time committing to getting a coach. Not now. Now people see that this global competition is for real. Their only true financial security is inside themselves...their own skills and effectiveness. No more bubbles to ride or debt to run up. Get good or get out. Step up and play. People want coaching more than ever. 

 COACHES LEARN TO BUILD GREAT PRACTICES..... 

A word on the Coaches Prosperity School:

      Most coaches don't know their value. They vastly underrate the impact they have on their clients' lives and businesses. And they undercharge for their services.

RAISE YOUR FEES AND WHAT HAPPENS?

     What happens, then, when they raise their fees? My experience has proven that some very good, counter-intuitive things happen:

1. More clients are drawn to your practice. Paradox!
2. The quality of your clients improves. (Heaven.)
3. Your own work improves. (You wake up and rise up.)
4. Clients are more committed to getting results so they
a. Listen better.
b. Follow recommendations more enthusiastically.
c. Show up on time for sessions and rarely cancel.
d. Produce results faster.
e. Are more likely to spontaneously refer other clients.
f. Will refer people to you who are more suitable for your stronger
fees.

    In my six month school for coaches we address the only thing standing in the way of stronger fees...fear of what people would think. That fear can be eliminated by learning communication skills for fee discussions. Learning and practicing.

   Most coaches don't understand what they are truly worth to their clients. Even when the client reports a major financial breakthrough because of the coaching, the coach doesn't get what happened. Can you relate to that? I can!

    Many coaches I know get better and better at coaching as they go along. Most would say they are twice as effective as they were two years ago. But do their fees reflect that? No. Usually their fees are the same!

    Most time management challenges faced by coaches and speakers today are caused by fees that are too low. Their schedules are jammed up with small fee clients demanding their time. They can't see that larger fees would simplify their lives and sort out their schedules quickly. Their own money fears creep in and sabotage their practices.

Why REPORTING PROGRESS Works:

    When you are accountable each week to report your financial progress to me (and the other six coaches), you tend to think all that week in terms of progress and creating results. You know you're going to be reporting it, so you think more about it and how to achieve it. It becomes your creative theme.

   When you have no such path of accountability you slide back into past habits. I know I do! We repeat the past. The bold and innovative part of you goes to sleep. Or rather it doesn't. Not entirely. What usually happens is that it emerges for others but not for you. You reveal it when you are coaching your clients. That's you at your best! Your most spontaneously resourceful!

   Yet when it comes to your own practice, you are not accountable to anyone. So you lose energy and get repetitive. The past simply repeats itself from its own momentum.

We will change that with six months of accountability. You will enjoy being held accountable to your own potential.

      I could stage a big event with a few hundred coaches in it and deliver this "information" as information. There are now hundreds of thousands of coaches ready to benefit from such a seminar. But to me it is more important that seven coaches actually get it.  I choose to have sevem coaches get these transformations deep down. At the cellular level. At the DNA level. Or, as jazz great Charles Mingus used to say, "Better get it in your soul."

     Seven coaches will be selected (some of whom also do public speaking) to join me at this retreat where the focus will be on  practice-building.

    Most coaches never think beyond incremental improvement. Therefore they never get out of Groundhog Day increments, merely reliving the past each year. Rather than a fresh prosperous future, their year will always be the past revisited. There is no created future. . . just another "newer, better past." But it's still the past. This is why most incomes of good companies and private practices improve by only 10% over the previous year.

     When we expand the mind to the concept of doubling our business or more, fresh ideas for breakthroughs emerge, because they have to.

     Because I am limiting this to seven coaches, please move quickly to secure your place at the table. Apply for the school by sending me an email. Be ready and willing to share your total practice with us (including psychological details) and to work VERY hard toward total reinvention of how you do business.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
