How to Turn Lemons into Margaritas

The answer -  The Comeback Coach, otherwise know as Mark McIntosh.

How to  “Turn Lemons into Margaritas” is Mark’s latest book which he encourages readers to realize the importance of effectively dealing with change, challenge and adversity. Inspired by moments from family, friends, speaking engagements, hosting Colorado & Company and other venues, Mark with his usual positive outlook encourages others to run to daylight and play like a champion - in the game of life.

He speaks from first hand experience. Learning his life lessons from divorce, to corporate restructuring to dealing with a debilitating injury.

Mark was an All American athlete. Not just your run of the mill player. Not only did he play point guard for his High School basketball team, but he played baseball and was the star quarterback of  the football team.  He was given a full scholarship to the University of Missouri  to play football, and was about to be drafted to start in the minor leagues to play baseball.

One moment. One freak accident. Mark saw his hopes and dreams vanish in the blink of an eye. All the hard work, all the extra hours of practice.  He was right there, ready to grab hold and go for the ride of his life…….gone.

His  story is both tragic and inspiring.   While the sports world lost a dynamic player, we  gained one of the most dynamic  speakers and writers in the world today.  This transformation did not happen without bumps and demons to get past along the way. You will want to listen and learn from a man who has tasted the bitterness of life, and turned it into sweet tasting margaritas.

How lucky and fortunate  Single Dad Life is to have crossed paths with Mark. How thrilling it is to have Mark offer to provide content on a regular basis, inspiring single dads  to live the life they deserve. Did I fail to mention,  Mark is also a single dad!

Does Anyone Really Make Money in Network Marketing?

Climbing the corporate ladder is a familiar way to get ahead. Working your way up, burning the midnight oil, looking to please your superiors in the hope of being noticed, is business as usual.

But these are not “usual” times. Banks collapsing, financial institutions disappearing overnight, and jobs being lost by the thousands in the blink of an eye. If you have children of college age, the tuition is staggering with no ceiling in site. Security appears to be a thing of the past. Retiring with the gold watch and a pension after 40 years is becoming a faded memory. These are not your fathers or grandfathers times.

There is a major paradigm shift in today’s career philosophy. Owning your own business is one way of creating financial freedom. But the start-up costs can squash that dream in a hurry. Franchising can costs tens of thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. Often it turns out to be just another way of buying yourself a job, working 50-80 hours a week, and hiring teenagers for your workforce.

If you’re a single dad looking for a possible answer, the audio presentation below on the business model of network marketing might prove enlightening.  Depending on who you ask, you might receive very different opinions on this form of business ownership.

Single Dad Life has sought out one of the leading experts in this field. When you have about 45 minutes to sit and relax, listen to Richard Brooke’s audio presentation on The Four Year Career Plan. He was kind enough to provide this exclusive link for the Single Dad Life community.

Power Up Your Resume

The first thing that an employer usually sees about you is your resume. It is not just a listing of your qualifications, experience, and education. It is an actual extension of yourself. Your resume is your first interview with the employer, and it should be just as dynamic as you would be if you were there - even more so, in fact! You already know how important first impressions are. Since your resume is your very first impression, even more attention needs to be paid to that presentation than to what you wear to your first interview. Read more
