How to Use This Site

Welcome to JourneyWay.com! We are here to help you regain control in your life through affordable web courses and coaching. After working as professional life coaches for the past 6 years we saw the need for another way to offer assistance to those who were trying to get from where they were to where they most wanted to be. After spending time working with adults one-on-one, in classes at the local university, through workshops and presentations, and over the telephone we came to the conclusion that there must be a better way.

All of those avenues mentioned above have proven to be successful, but something was missing that JourneyWay.com was created to fulfill: Affordable web courses for those who wanted to work more independently. One-on-one life coaching can be an expensive endeavor, so to help those of you who are motivated and want to regain control in their lives we’ve created a method for you to take the next step.

The first step is often the most difficult however remember Lao Tsu’s words:
A Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

The way to begin is to download and complete our Intro Assessment. You can also download any or all of the material listed on our Free Tools page. These assessments, questionnaires, exercises, and articles will ask you tough questions and require you to take a fair and honest look at your life as it is right now. That is a tough step; we know because we work through this material regularly ourselves.

After you’ve moved through some of the free material you will reach a place where it’s time to make a decision: Whether to try to get where you most want to be by doing things the same way you’ve done them in the past or not? Of course another decision nestled there too: Whether or not to do anything at all? The simple fact that you’re here shows something that will answer that last question. Something in your life is pulling you toward positive change. Maybe you’re not happy with your current job, how you are in your relationships, or just unsure about where to go from here. Regardless, that call for something different is part of you and will continue to knock on your door until you do something about it.

That’s where the Web Courses come in. Every successful person has shared that you simply cannot reach your highest vision of who you are without the successful, step-by-step completion of goals. How are you with goal creation? And what’s all this about vision? Do you know the difference between a vision and a dream? How about the difference between planning and preparation? Do you know what your personal and professional distractions are and how they quietly keep you from moving forward? If not, look through the list of web courses and choose one that fits with your current situation.

We’re going to be covering time management from a very different point of view. You’ll learn why we believe that Attention Management is the key to letting time manage itself. We’ll give you tips and techniques you can put to use immediately.

So what’s keeping you from beginning? It can’t be the cost since the beginning involves using material that is provided without charge. And more importantly, the courses that do carry a cost do so at a level that is VERY affordable. One past client shared with us that she didn’t like web courses because she would buy them and never get around to doing them. We can help with that too through timed emails designed to help you remain accountable. And finally, if you need to talk to a real person you’ll find us available through email and through a new coaching line that will be implemented in the first quarter of 2009.

The Web Courses will be online before the end of January 2009. Until then please take advantage of the Free Tools section and begin working to regain control in your life.

You really can create the life you most want. We’ve found though that it’s impossible to do without a plan, without smart goals, without accountability partners. So join us and let us help you get from where you are to where you most want to be. We will help you create your own plan, we will help you create goals and learn how to stick with them, we will provide exercises, articles, and techniques that can improve how you experience life, and we will be your accountability partners. (We will also show you how to invite other accountability partners into your life for continued success.)

Instead of finding that you’ve fallen down again on your New Year’s Resolutions why not try something different this year? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

It’s time to begin the next phase of your own personal Journey!

As always, Life your Best!

What is the JourneyWay?

What is the JourneyWay?

The JourneyWay is your personal experience of traveling through this life.
It encompasses your past, present and future.

For example:

  • Everything that you are experiencing today comes from choices you made yesterday.
  • Everything you have the capacity to bring into your life will arise out of choices you make today and tomorrow.
  • If the path you are on now is not getting you closer to the life you want, then it is up to you to change direction.

Your life reflects your attitude of mind; your attitude of mind does not reflect your life. - Cheri Huber

JourneyWay.com is about supporting your journey. Adults take these courses because they are usually experiencing some pain or major discomfort. We offer online courses that are affordable, self-paced and give you clear insight on how to get from where you are to where you want to be. As coaches, we know how to work with our clients and have learned that breaking down each step makes changing your journey much more manageable.

One way to begin is to take a self inventory; this helps you find out what you may need along the way. Part of that step involves some self-check work to determine if some of what your carrying can be left behind. Our free assessment tool can help get you started. From here, you get to choose which courses you want to focus on first. Each class can be completed individually–but as a whole they will all lead you to the same place–regaining control of your journey and once again discovering the joy that comes from security, confidence and self mastery.

The only requirement of you is that you take responsibility for where you are now, realizing that even if you aren’t where you want to be you can still be fully present and work to make changes.  We can help you regain control of your life, however, it is still up to you to begin.
