Neil Bierbaum

Neil Bierbaum, PCCThe path of most men is to go for material success and then, at midlife, start the search for self-mastery and meaning. I seem to have done it the other way around: I accidentally had success while working for companies and for other people, but my primary personal ambition was always to attain self-mastery and meaning and then achieve success for myself. I believe I have achieved the self-mastery and meaning to a fair degree: I am aware of - and therefore in charge of - my negative beliefs, behaviors and foibles; I am constantly present and able to monitor myself. I consider this my greatest achievement to date - it is specifically the goal I aimed for. My next step is to translate it into material success. The proof will be in the pudding - when it's served!

Where I was:

Award-winning Journalist
I was an award-winning journalist - South Africa's leading specialist writer about the media business. I then became editor of a homegrown men's magazine called Directions, and later moved on to become editor of the South African edition of international men's title FHM, which became one of the four biggest English-language monthlies in the country.

"What I didn't like" / "What didn't work for me" about that profession:

I established a very good team and outgrew both my job function and the content of the magazine. I was creating wealth for other people. I wanted to establish a business that produced something meaningful for me and that made me rich instead of making someone else rich.

Where I am today:

Own business:
At present I AM my own business. Soon I will RUN my own business!

No of employees:
None fulltime; I use part-timers/freelancers to support me.

Turn-over p/m:
Much more than as a magazine editor - and growing!

No of clients:
Varies - I plan to have thousands of members for my online coaching hub.

Accreditations achieved:
CCI PCC (Professional Consciousness Coach®) Professional Trainer certificate

My next big goal:

Ten thousand members for my online coaching hub by end 2010!
