from Allison
"There is a misconception that you need a lot of money or business education to launch your own business.
Out of the 9 businesses that I have built, only one of them has needed any financing. This has included an advertising/pr firm, a hair salon, scuba diving shop and homeopathic college.
I also ran many of them as a single mom."
Allison is coaching many who have neither a lot of money or a business education. She is helping them find their purpose, their passion, their joy and launch them into the business marketplace.

Sam Zien
It came as no surprise to anyone that I was once again trying my hand at something new—this time, hosting a cooking show. Was I a great cook? No. In fact, I'd not really done much cooking at all. Did I have years of television experience? No. Was I related to a well-placed television executive who could land me a job? No. Honestly, I didn't have much.
But what I did have would ultimately become much more powerful than anything else I could put on a resume. First, I was really ready to make a career change. I needed to change so badly that I would have done almost anything. Turns out desire is a ridiculously strong motivator...

"I first went to Allison because I came to a crossroads in my career and was seeking some advice on how to take my career to the next level. Immediately after our first meeting I discovered I wasn't passionate about my career and the stress was causing me to lose focus on doing what I most enjoyed and that was physical fitness and spending quality time with my 5 year old son. As a single mom, I stuck to what was safe, even if it meant not being happy.
Allison helped me discover what my true passion was and to develop it into a business. She gave me
the confidence to believe in myself and the tools to develop my own business. I've now launched my first business called LifeFitness4Me and I love going to work everyday and more importantly, I love walking my son to and from school!"

Mike Rees
From the coaching, strategies and unwavering inspiration of Allison Maslan, I have taken my company from $750,000 to $6,000,000 in less than 2 years during these most difficult economic times. I have run my own company for nearly 20 years and I had been fairly successful on all accounts. However, I had hit a plateau with my business growth. Allison helped me get very clear on the vision for my life and my company and then guided me to move past my fear so I could take the calculated risks necessary for my growth. Her insight into building the right staff, winning marketing strategies and building long term customer relationships are invaluable. She was able to get to the core of my roadblocks and help me break through in such a powerful way. And Allison empowered passion in all aspects of my life. It has truly been a transformational experience. If you are looking for results, Allison Maslan and her coaching strategies deliver.

Allison is a real blessing to me. I came to her not sure of where I was headed. I wanted to infuse my biz with new energy and get re-invigorated for my work, and boy, did I ever! I re-branded my company, launched a new web site and started using social media. I also began writing a blog that is generating positive buzz and making me feel like I'm finding and using my voice to make a larger impact. Most importantly, she has helped me restore confidence in myself and my ability to make my dreams come true.

My journey with Allison Maslan, Life Coach, and author of Blast Off has been life changing for me. Allison's expertise is unmatched as her personal life experiences and positive energy is like no other. She takes a step by step approach with her in depth personal analysis. At a time when I was stagnant and unexcited about my daily routine, Allison knew that what I needed was to find and create the passion that I had been missing for so very long. As a single mother of two, my purpose in life was to provide for my children. Now it was time for me. Because of Allison's encouragement, I was able to let go of fear and make the journey manageable and fulfilling. I no longer lacked the direction that I needed so desperately to get started.
Allison has been the inspiration for making my dream come true. I am now the president of my own online boutique, heavenspennies.com. My previous experience as a buyer for Nordstrom and my love for fashion have now been reignited and unleashed. Thanks to Allison, I am fulfilled and inspired by her positive energy and eagerness to succeed.

"Allison's books and software are well thought out and helpful.
What is essential though is being in her presence, meeting with her in person, and/or talking with her by phone. She is calm, perceptive, and talks with you as if she's known you for years. I went to Allison during a very bleak period in my life, but was already determined to get back on track and pursue a career change. Allison helped me to focus and reflect upon those aspects of my life that matter, that bring me joy, and that feel like the best parts of what I have to offer others. She understands that you can love your work by doing what you love!

Now, I am seven months into my new organizing business and learning new skills every day. She is a fountain of knowledge and networking savvy, encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and always do more. I talk about my experience in working with Allison to others all the time, even to other life coaches! She helped me make the first of my dreams come true, now we're on to the next one. Thank you Allison."

Pam Penner
Pam Penner I had been struggling, for some time now, in finding a direction in which I was truly passionate about. Out of curiosity and hope, I decided to see what "Blast Off" was all about. After briefly meeting Allison and buying her book "Blast Off" to look over, I signed up.
I have been painting for more than 10 years now and have always thought of my art as a wonderful hobby. It took a little over 2 sessions of digging and soul searching to realize that promoting my art was the way for me to go. Allison guided me in setting up a professional business, and in a short period of time my website, showing my art and a blog page for fun (I also love to write), was up and running. We are still meeting to discuss marketing and all the other challenges that running a business brings.
I'm thrilled to see myself take more chances and overcome the fear that can hold so many of us back from living our best lives.
Everyone's story is different, but for me, my passion was so close to me I couldn't see it. Allison has a wonderful ability to pull things out that one doesn't even realize are there. I highly recommend her coaching and mentoring services.

Connie DeLonge
"When I first heard of Allison and Blast Off through my son, Tom, I have to say I was rather skeptical not to mention very frightened. Mom, he said, I just want to see you do what you love so you can be happy all the time. I was sure I was just going to be told, again, that I needed to find that 8 to 5 job. My greatest fear was that I would be stuck in that 8 to 5 job while someone walked a path of darkness or even died alone and that would be the ultimate breaking point for me. Because of the economic situation I found my self at the bottom not knowing how to get back up. Allison was so calming and so real that I felt comfortable immediately. She began the walk with me via her Blast Off series and before I knew it the darkness was not so dark anymore - I could actually see a light at the end of the long tunnel. Allison helped me narrow down my thoughts and list my passions until it was obvious what my call in life was all about. I NEVER thought I would be one that could have my own business doing what I desire and love most in this life and yet, HERE I AM! Thank you Allison and Tom :)"

Prerna O'Hara Allison has guided me and provided the tools I needed to make powerful changes in my life and career. Being laid-off was one of the best things to happen in my life. Allison helped me get a clear picture of my life goals focused on my strengths, beliefs and desires. Allison helped me to create a new plan for my life. Since we started last year, I have already launched my new business, and elevated my personal life to the next level. There is no limit to what I can achieve for myself!
Laura Penn Gallerstein
"Allison's coaching has been incredible for me. Before I started working with her I felt stuck and overwhelmed in every area of my life. As I started working with her, I have gotten clearer about my vision and dreams. Ideas are now coming to me and my writing has totally opened up even more and her support has been what I have needed to get my business off the ground.
She has helped me in every aspect of putting my business together from ideas to website, to marketing, and supporting me in taking risks. I love her program in that it has helped me organize myself especially since I am a little ADD. Before I would look at my projects and feel overwhelm. Now I look at them in small pieces. There are things for me to do everyday and I feel like I am getting somewhere and moving forward. Her program is unique in that it is very user friendly and easy to work with on a daily basis. I feel tremendous support and I am not doing this alone.
I am now taking my small business to the next level and people are starting to show interest. It is very exciting. Her book is wonderful and supportive for anyone who wants to make changes in their life. It is full of humor and very easy to read."

Sherry Collier
"Allison Maslan provided me with business coaching when I realized I was struggling to make the difficult transition into private practice. Allison came alongside me to help me sort out what ways I can be most effective as I provide treatment for individuals, couples and families. She helped me to set small goals in order to move forward to the larger goals I had for my business expansion.
She provided much needed encouragement, accountability and suggestions along the way. I cannot say enough about how helpful Allison's coaching is as she provides me with encouraging words, e-mails and uplifting, never-ending faith in me to follow through to completion."

Coaching Success Stories

"I have always known that my career was not my passion, but I did not see any possibility of change. I knew I was a capable person and I had the drive, but I did not have a clear idea of what I wanted to do or how to make it happen. Allison Maslan helped me to get in touch with my dream. Then she gave me the direction and guidance to make it happen. I was able to present an idea for a whole new division at my employment. My boss loved it so much, he appointed me the director! I never had the inkling that this was even possible. Now I love getting up and going to work and the financial rewards have been amazing. Allison helped me to change my life dramatically and I am forever grateful."

Linda B. talks about how Allison has helped her on many levels.


"Life Coach Allison Maslan has completely changed the way I think and act in my life. Instead of the "why me" attitude, I now look forward to each and every experience as a new challenge or as an every day event. The program has given me tools to keep that fresh outlook on life every single day. It has also helped me, for the first time, consider realistic and positive goals for my future. It has taught me to respect myself, and create a life for myself as an individual. Allison herself, is very helpful and always there to answer emails or phone calls. Her responses to questions are realistic, positive, and specific to my personal needs. I look forward to my future and will always keep the tools of the Blast Off program in my life. It has been the best thing I've ever done for myself. Allison and her coaching truly changed my life for the better. Allison, I cannot thank you enough for everything!"

Nicole Halmuda "When I came to Allison for coaching, I had just graduated college and was surprised to find how difficult it was to get hired in this economy. It was a very frustrating time. During the process of working with Allison, I realized that the direction I was focused on for career in finance was really not my true passion. I thought I just needed to find something to make a good living. Allison helped me get in touch with what inspired me and what came natural to me, and we revamped my career focus completely. I am thrilled because now I have a great career in advertising that I absolutely love!
Working with Allison was one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made in moving my life to the next chapter. She is incredibly warm, giving, and has this amazing air of refreshing honesty and zest for life. Allison taught me to truly believe in myself and take pride in my accomplishments. She helped me form a clear vision for my future, and breakdown the exact steps to getting there. Allison taught me that dreams are not lofty goals, but can indeed be actionable with some hard work and dedication. Overall, I would recommend Allison to absolutely anyone looking for more direction or focus in their lives."
Nicole Halmuda


"I have described Allison Maslan many times to my friends as, "human crazy glue." I walked into Allison's glue factory six months ago because I was on a broken wing and my last prayer. Losing a thirty - five year business, I was fearful, confused, relationship impaired, broke and as stubborn as an aging mule about new ideas.
Allison patiently glued me back together with her amazing wisdom and extraordinary knowledge of possibilities in the world. I am in the eye of the happiness storm today because Allison was able to reach down my heart and pull my real wants, needs and dreams out of me. She also put me on the right track to achieving it. Allison does not glue me together any longer—she glues me to the chair so I don't fly excitedly around her office.
I am, at this writing, embarking on a new and exciting career path thanks to Allison. I expect to be toasting my 60th birthday as well as my new venture of speaking, book tour, and website. The best as they say, is yet to come. I am marrying the man of my dreams."
Shari Kane


"My life is so much richer after completing the Blast Off Life Coaching Program. Before participating I was pretty content with my life but now I realize how much I've been missing. I truly enjoyed the process of discovering more about myself, what I wanted, how I could grow, what I needed to do to change things and the process for accomplishing all of this. I'm still learning and busily applying the principals and techniques, and many exciting things are unfolding. It came at a time in my life when I thought I pretty well had hit all the 'firsts' and there was not much new and exciting out there left for me. How wrong I was.
Both my professional life and my personal life are more productive and rewarding. I now see the world as a great big banquet full of wonderful possibilities thanks to the awareness I've developed through Blast Off Life Coaching."

"Allison had Unwavering Belief In Me
Having someone continue to believe in you (even when you falter) and prod you and remind you of your strengths, is priceless. It was an exciting moment for me when I wrote the advanced check to Allison for her services. It was the moment I decided to take my dreams seriously. It turned out that Allison took them even more seriously than I did. My journey with Allison took me over some rough terrain... up the highest peaks, down a dark rabbit hole and eventually back into the light. Her steady belief in my abilities, her unwavering certainty about how to make things happen, and her gentle reminders to keep moving, helped me to break through to the other side.
I accomplished what I aimed to and I don't know that I would have done it without her partnership. Now that the coaching is over, I can feel even more so, how valuable it is to have someone in your court with the highest of expectations of you, encouraging daily movement towards your dreams.
Thank you Allison. I am forever grateful for your help in getting me over this long-stared-at HUMP!"

"Life Coach Extraordinaire
Allison Maslan is an amazing life coach! When I came to her, I felt stuck and confused. I always felt like there was something missing. After working closely with Allison, she was able to bring out the desires I wanted for my life. She was able to guide me in the process of putting the dreams in my head on paper and then into action. When I faced fears or negative old ideas, she was able to guide my thought process into more positive movement."
