No More Pain! Thank you Dr. Lipton!

Congratulations to Dr. Glenn M. Lipton, M.D., Pain Management Specialist, who has recently expanded his practice from Arizona to include Southern California. He is now seeing patients in Beverly Hills, Marina Del Rey and Newport Beach. According to Dr. Lipton, prompt treatment of back, spine and other pain can increase one's quality of life, enabling one to fully enjoy one's work and home life, as well as achieve one's goals. Dr. Lipton is Board-Certified in Pain Medicine under the American Board of Anesthesiology, the gold-standard credential for pain medicine because it is the only pain certification under the auspices of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). In addition, Dr. Lipton holds further certifications from the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians (ABIPP) and the American Board for Pain Medicine (ABPM).

Kim Kardashian

If you want a good example of someone who is living her dream, just lok at Kim Kardashian. She took a social life and turned it into a career. She and her mother and sisters, and to a lesser extent, her step-father, took who were they and made it what they did. And by most accounts, has been having a swell time in the process. Even with a public short marriage, Kim has managed to brand herself, put out a clothing line, perfume, a book....And create an empire in the process. To analyze her formula for success, in a superficial, but succinct way, she knows who she is, she plays to her strengths and she is NICE to everyone in the process! Her personality, combined with her looks and her enormous talent at selling herself as a celebrity, have made her the success she is today. Don't be fooled by the clothes and make-up; all the Kardashian women are hard workers who know how to maximize what they have to offer. They have proven that likeability is a huge factor in reality success and that that is something they all, particularly Kim, have in abundance. Likeability is a huge factor in all success, an issue which I will deal with in greater depth in another post. So,no matter what you think of reality TV, or the Kardashians, there are many lessons to be learned on how to be successful and happy and have a tight family all at the same time. They exemplify enthusiasm, optimism and action, three factors that we Life Coaches attempt to model for our clients at all times. And they do it in a big way.
