VenusCow.com Free Online Journal Is Now Live

Online, December 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Venus Cow is a free, common sense, brutal truth, life coaching course for anyone who is ready to take back control, make positive changes and build back confidence by setting goals and tracking progress in your own personal and private on-line journal.

Developed by entrepreneur, lifestyle expert and lifecoach, Shirley Yanez,

"I wanted to find a way to share my insight, knowledge and experience, for free with women everywhere and provide them with the tools they need to be fabulous from the inside out without it costing anything but their time." says Shirley, who at 55 is now in the best physical and mental shape of her life thanks to her own lifestyle plan.

Shirley practises what she preaches and despite her success maintains her budget lifestyle for real.

Shirley says "Changing the way you look at things, i.e. Why you eat too much, drink too much, shop too much, helps you get to know the invisible you, the person you no longer recognise and is the key to successfully reaching your goals."

Shirley requires all her clients to maintain a journal when undergoing her course.

"It was finding a way to do this online that was tricky on a budget." says Shirley. "The quotes I got to build what I had in mind, around £35,000."

Undaunted, she approached De Montfort University, Leicester with her life coaching course and the original website. Her idea, to enhance it and make it much more effective for visitors. Senior staff saw her vision and agreed to help. The tools they used, Joomla, a robust and free CMS system.

"The great thing about Venus Cow is we have shown, by thinking outside the box, engaging the skills and expertise of the community and harnessing the wonderful technology available for free we have produced something useful for everyone, without money, proving what I teach, when put into practise, actually works." says Shirley.
