Okay. This is insane. But maybe insane in a good way.

So, I need a job. I need a way to make money. I make $85/week, but that doesn't really make a dent in the amount of money we're hemmoraging each month since Lis lost her job.

We also go to a coach. Life coaching, job coaching -- someone who helps us plan priorities and make goals and follow through on them. And coaching got pretty . . . intense today. And Carol pointed out that I'd make a hell of a coach myself, since that's pretty much what I do anyway. I've already got all the skills.

So, here's the question: those of you reading this journal:

Would you pay me $30 a week for me to help you get your life together?

I'm serious. I'm offering. For $30, you'd get an hour of my time a week, plus extra phone calls and so forth, in which we'd work out what it is you want to do and how to do it, and I'd keep you on track in doing so.

How is this different from what I do with my friends now? I don't push with my friends. I listen. I don't offer advice, except very rarely. I support, I listen. But I don't advise or guide. Because I don't belive I can do those things unless I am asked to directly. And being paid to do that would count as being invited into that position.

I've only once or twice in my life been invited into that position with someone. And I did well.
