Don’t we want our blogging to attract followers, fans, commenters and customers? Attracting anyone like this, and more types of results are welcome in plentiful numbers.
Plentiful is the operative word. Plentiful being abundant and life it could be – joy, peace, health, security, wealth or you name what is you want more.
Best actions and mindset for Abundance always grab my attention. When Denis Roberts, CEO of Business Coaching for Premium Coaches told me about his new, Group Coaching With Friends For Abundance, my curiosity kicked in. I’ve known Denis through LinkedIn for several years now. Once we talked, I felt I must interview him for you to learn about this.
Many of you know me from a popular LinkedIn group, Bloggers Helping Bloggers. When I heard the description of this new group coaching, it sounded close to what we expect from those collaborative groups. Denis has what he calls is a slight shift.
I wondered about coaches who might want to know what Denis does differently as a coach, and how he’s filling the gap of traditional coach training.
How Are You Allowing Blogging to Expand Your Abundance?
This interview is just 24 minutes but for those of you who want to hear just the snippets, fast forward to hear about these points:
3:10 Did you know there are two meanings to – virtual organizations?
4:29 What is in a “gap” to success for an otherwise Premium Coach?
6:50 How are some programs responding (or not) to the changes in the coaching industry?
8:15 What business skills are some coaches lacking that keep the independent coach stuck?
10:45 What does it mean to be able to balance the personal development mindset and pure business skills?
12:15 How can someone benefit from a blog that combines group blogging and the abundance mindset?
18:32 If it sounds like you might be already involved in group blogging with the abundance mindset, here’s the differences.
21:30 Hmmm. I wonder why my publisher didn’t think this about my writing?
If you listen to any, or all of this interview, you can hear many places of laughing out loud. Indeed, it was fun! Years ago in a group-coaching program I learned my top ten highest values. Having fun was number one. This interview was right in line with that.
It’s amazing how we can often find ourselves limited in our thinking. Let’s not limit our thinking about what our blogging can do for us.
Maybe every day we blog we want to – be grateful for being able to write, grateful for commenters, or grateful for something positive in the process.

Blogging has opened me up to a whole new world. I now write almost daily and am therefore developing my skills. I am networking with fellow bloggers all over the world, some much more established than I am.
I believe that blogging can and will open doors of opportunity. I am very much expectant.
And Phoenicia, this is a testimony to the overall quality OF your blog. I love how you are thinking: ” I am very much expectant.” Now that is allowing the abundance in!
Pat,
Once again, thank you for your wisdom … and for opening a fresh insight & perspective to further illuninate the path.
Best,
Denis
Phoenicia,
It is really refreshing to hear how blogging is opening abundant opportunities for you by connecting you with other abundant human beings. May this bring you closer & closer to realizing your vision of success!
Best,
Denis
For me as a writer, blogging helps me continue to work on my craft and keeps me writing about other things than the novel I am currently writing. It’s a great outlet and I love engaging with other bloggers…like Patricia Weber… who have taught me new things, opened me to new experiences and inspired me to be better and then better again:)
I can relate to blogging as being both a personal outlet and an engagement outlet, in an introvert perfect way! Can’t wait to hear more about your new novel Jacqueline.
Jacqueline,
Thank you fpr your share. What I find wonderful about blogging is that it allows us to connect with other creative & abundant human beings … and cultive the craft of writing through conversation. Wishing you every success with your various writing ventures.
As a footnote to Pat … one of the things I love about your blogs, Pat, is that they are so conversational & inviting.
Best,
Denis
I can honestly say blogging was a life changer for me. I blogged for nearly 2 years before I wrote my first book and that came about as a result of the feedback and overwhelming support of my readers. On top of the fulfillment from writing, I have overcome my resistance to anything ‘techie’ as a result of managing my site. It’s been a wild ride at times, but an empowering one to be sure.
What an awesome blogging testimony Marquita! Truly a source to expand your abndance.
For me, I turn 90% of the tech stuff over to my webmaster. Things just work better for me that way!
Marquita hi,
Great news about your book, and how blogging facilitated this. I find the conversational aspect of blogging opens up so many fresh insights, and perspectives that this increasingly broadens & deepens the appeal of any writing. Congrats & wishing you every success!
On the technology front, I’m a sucker for punishment; and, on the positive side, try to treat the frustrations (which spookily always seem to happen at the worst time) as character-building.
Best,
Denis
I enjoy writing my own blog posts but I also really like reading other people’s, totally different from my niche, posts as we get to do here. Group Coaching With Friends For Abundance sounds like the same kind of thing, kind of, getting to hear about very different niches there too and various points of view.
Beth I’m of a similar opinion with what Denis is doing being close to the blog awareness expanding when it comes to the LinkedIn group Bloggers Helping Bloggers.
Beth hi,
Me too, I really enjoy the fresh perspectives that other people bring; and also like responding too. You are correct that, in some respects, this forms a part of “Group Blogging Coaching With Friends For Abundance” sounds like the same kind of thing.
Where things are different, is that we meet and blog as a group around the shared purpose of “”Group Blogging Coaching With Friends For Abundance”, with a quest of continuously seeking unison & harmony, as conversations move to greater & greater clarity.
This involves shifting from “me – you” conversations to “we” conversations, which grow in abundance for all participants & visitors.
Best,
Denis
Thank you Pat for being such a great interviewer, blogger, and human being … an example to us all. I am relatively new to blogging. For me, the closer blogging is to journaling, the more we can share our inner reflections with the outside world … the more we can be our true selves … and the more we can connect with other free spirits … and experience the wonderfully abundant human beings that the universe connects us with … I also meet and “Group Journal / Blog With Friends For Abundance” … Check us out, and share in magnifying the abundance for us all through the link Pat has given above.
Denis what I love about blogging is how we can share of ourselves in so many ways. You’re direction is closer to journaling, mine is a mix of things – true to my once noted my a coach, “kaleidoscopic” nature.
I’m so glad to be able to share what your direction is with blogging for abundance!
Oh yes! Blogging has opened me up to a new world and opportunities. I enjoy blogging so much and i enjoy reading other blogs too. You never stop learning! I love it 🙂
Yes – a perpetual learning experience with blogging for certain. Thanks.
Me too, Safari! What I love about learning is the abundance of new opporunities … and the chance to continuously move foward … even at times when we may be feeling a bit stuck … All we need to do is to be open & willing to change … have faith and trust that we are on the right road … and treat uncertainty as a friend rather than a foe … and keep our eyes open for fellow human beings, who have already been there. Have a great journey!
Best,
Denis
Blogging has helped me in a few ways. It has helped my writing for the better. I see a big difference in my posts now compared to the ones from 2 years ago. I’ve also had the chance to meet some other bloggers that have motivated me to continue to do good.
What a fast learner Jason! I cringe when I look at some of my posts in any particular year. Most do, like you are hinting at, get better year after year. Then there are a few that make me wonder, “What was I thinking?”
Great insight, Jason. When we are able to spot another’s gift, we are holding up a mirror to our own gifts. Best, Denis
Blogging for me started as a way to spend time while I was on the road in a foreign country. I got to the point where going out every night was no longer something I could sustain and writing filled the gap between evening and sleep. It was a great way, and continues to be, for me to relive experiences and be creative. Hopefully my skill is improving.
What an interesting way to come to writing Tim! You always have such interesting posts, colorful images and a way of storytelling to bring your travel adventures alive. For certain there is an expanding of abundance in that.
Tim,
Sounds like a wonderful way of connecting with yourself .. your creativity .. and abundance. Best, Denis
Blogging for me has been a really interesting experience that has enabled me to learn about issues I had never even paid attention to.
My blogging friend Patricia Weber is a great example. Honestly had never even thought about the difference between extroverts and intorverts.
Have because of getting to know Patricia realised that thought I’m mainly extrovert I sometimes am a bit introverted. Another aspect is that I understand much better why people I come across react in their introverted ways. Having said that, a lot of what Patricia writes about in this blog and in her recent book applies to both introverts and extroverts.
Catarina YOU and your blogging have opened up a way of thinking about issues I do often pay attention to although not regularly. What I love about your writing voice is it usually takes me in a different direction, kind of like holding up a crystal to a previous idea I heard. And that allows your blogging to expand my abundance – so thank you.
Brilliantly put, Pat! You are a diamond!
Best,
Denis
Caterina, Isn’t It wonderful how Blogging open’s up new vistas that can reveal interests hitherto unknown. What I love about Pat’s work is her capacity to make increasingly fine distinctions. This puts us on the path of the continuous refinement of conversation & clarity.
Best,
Denis
Blogging has helped me get out and try new things and be able to share the process. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Sabrina my guess is that in getting out to try new things, your message is going further than you might even have considered? And that is abundance!
Sabrina,
Great to hear that blogging is opening up your life, and enjoy the abundance that this will bring.
Best,
Denis
I love the idea of attaching gratitude to blogging. It is so true. When I began blogging my idea was to create posts on the stress and anxiety in the world of voiceovers. Then I happen to write a post on the origins of anxiety. I received ONE comment from someone who was so grateful for the information. That comment, the expression of gratitude, changed my entire thinking. I thought,” How many more people are struggling”? I knew I could delver helpful information to those who felt they were alone trying to cope with the stresses of everyday life. Do you know I think of her every time I create a post? Now you’ve given me another thought, to be grateful that I can help. I love that…thank-you.
Awesome Pamela. You get to share you gift with people who want to hear it. Now HOW abundant is that feeling? For that one there are many more for sure.
Pat,
Thanks for reminding us of the importance of connecting with what abundance “feels like”
Best,
Denis
Pamela hi,
When blogging generates gratitude we discover our true gift. In this knowledge, as you have already done, we can share our gift more widely. When this occurs abundance grows for everyone. Happy trails.
Best,
Denis
