(to assure that you achieve your dreams, on Your Terms!)
(TCC clients have achieved wonders. TCC is just getting warmed
up.)
Bill Dueease is a successful business coach. He
had also been a sales consultant trainer, a business broker, a real
estate agent, and a real estate investor over the years. He had
conducted over 850 paid coaching hours in only three years, with
business owner clients who generated over $2,000,000 in additional
profits within 3 months, (by operating small businesses)
as a direct result of Bill's coaching. Bill's clients also greatly
reduced their business related stress and hours involved in their
business.
Even with his clients' success, he felt something
was once again missing. Bill had bounced around for many years searching
for his best suited niche, and realized again he had not found it.
He decided to hire a coach to finally get to the bottom of it. But
he struggled for 6 months to find the right for him, even though
he was in contact with hundreds of coaches each year as the Membership
Development Chairman of the ICF. He finally found his ideal coach
(After 28 attempts), Thom Politico in March of 2000.
Designing the purpose of TCC
Thom assisted Bill to discover that his true
passions, desires and talents were in starting and running a business
rather than coaching others to do so. Thom and Bill focused on creating
a new business to solve the two most serious problems facing coaching.
One problem was how difficult and confusing it was for Bill or anyone
to find the coach who was truly right for them. The other problem
was how difficult, how costly, and how personally distasteful it
was for many coaches to have to self promote to find and attract
their desired clients.
How TCC measures success!
TCC measures our success by the rate of success
of TCC's clients to achieve their personally chosen coachable goals
on their terms. Currently, overof TCC's approximately 1,400 clients have achieved their
chosen coachable goals based upon their determination. We closely
monitor the success rate of our clients.
The creation of TCC
Bill knew from his considerable experience starting
companies (Bill had started 4 successful businesses before. See
below for details), that he could not do it alone. He needed
partners with much different backgrounds and perspectives to succeed.
First, he needed a partner who knew the coaching
processes inside an out, and who had a very solid experience in
coaching. He did not have to look far. He asked Thom to be an active
partner in this new business. He readily accepted. Next, he needed
a partner who knew nothing about coaching, and was able to provide
the honest clear perspective of a possible coaching client. Bill
enlisted Jim Cahill, a true entrepreneur, who was very tuned into
and sensitive to what people want from service providers. Jim challenged
everything from a client’s perspective and the team tapped
into his considerable marketing experience.
Beginning in June of 2000, Thom, Jim, and Bill
spent a minimum of 3 hours per week dissecting, planning and developing
the business. Their expressed purpose was to create the easiest,
most effective, quickest and least costly process for anyone to
find and connect with their ideal coach. Their second purpose was
to provide all of the marketing and business services for their
selected Member Coaches. This way TCC Member Coaches could concentrate
all of their energies and efforts on what they love to do and do
best. That is coach!
because
they have an easy to use, very effective, very efficient, and low
cost method to reap the wonders of coaching. Furthermore, TCC clients
will also maximize the quality of their achievements through coaching,
because they used TCC to engage their ideal coach.
TCC measures our success by the rate of success
of TCC's clients to achieve their personally chosen coachable goals
on their terms.
because they are relieved from the time consuming, frustrating,
expensive, and undesirable marketing and self promotion functions.
They can return to concentrating on their true passion, which is
to coach. TCC Member Coaches will ONLY coach clients who qualify
to be their ideal clients. Thus, they have more fun, are more confident,
and assist their ideal clients to maximize their achievements.
because it is
able to provide very needed services to two different groups of
people in much better method than ever before and with much less
cost to all parties.
They wrote a detailed business plan and an investor
prospectus, attracted investors, contracted for outside web design
and data base development, and opened their doors on June 1, 2001.
Bill and Thom ceased their personal coaching to run TCC full time
and became TCC’s first two advocates.
Almost immediately, four people wanted to be
clients, but they were asked to wait until TCC had enough Member
Coaches to select from. Thom and Bill introduced TCC to the coaching
industry at their booth at The ICF Chicago convention in August
of 2001. They talked to over 450 coaches, and received application
information from over 250. From which, 54 coaches were selected
and became Member Coaches.
Bill Creates his ideal income position by starting
TCC
Bill finally discovered his own ideal income position
through coaching with Thom Politico, with the creation and ownership
of TCC. After many years of struggling and searching, Bill has been
enjoying all aspects of his life since he created TCC in 2001. Bill
is living proof that life coaching works exceptionally well. He
wants to share his life changing success with anyone who will let
him.

Bill Dueease is a business developer and was a successful business
coach for three years.
After working for Phillips Petroleum Company for
5 years, Bill was the driving force behind taking small refining
company in 1975 named LaJet Inc. to become an extremely profitable
(Bill directly generated over $120 million in pretax profits) mid-sized
refining, distribution and trading company in only 5 years. He started
Aspen Energy Inc. in 1980 and it quickly became a very successful
petroleum trading company. He was the organizing cofounder of Cardrona
Ski area in New Zealand. He and his partners converted a mountain
in 1981, previously used to graze sheep, into the most popular and
profitable ski area in New Zealand and Australia combined in only
5 short years. They went public in 1987 and sold out in 1989. Bill
also created The Office Outfitters in 1993 to be the very first
company to provide next day delivery of office products, throughout
the US, at prices below the superstores. This was before the Internet
was discovered. A group offered to buy Bill out for a price that
was many times higher that the market value of the business in May
of 1995. Bill closed the purchase in only 6 calendar days.
Bill looked around for something to do. He was
convinced he found the answers as a result of religiously completing
the self-analysis test in the “What Color Is Your Parachute”
book. Yet, he went from business broker, to sales training specialist
for an international consulting company, to becoming a business
coach, and in essence drifted and searched for five years until
he hired his own life coach. Thom Politico. Through coaching with
Thom, Bill finally found his real calling and started The Coach
Connection in 2001.
Bill earned the designation of Certified Business
Analyst from The Florida Small Business Development Center Network.
He holds a Florida Real Estate Brokers License. He graduated from
the University of Alabama in 1967 with a Bachelors of Science degree
in Industrial Engineering. In 1968, he earned a Masters of Science
degree in Industrial Engineering and Management from Oklahoma State
University. Bill was honorably discharged after 2 years of active
duty in Germany, as a First Lieutenant in the US Army.
Bill was featured in a 1988 film made for TV by
PBS and the New Zealand Government. The film described how an American
(Bill) organized a team of three New Zealanders and himself to develop
the popular Cardrona Ski Area in New Zealand. The film was shown
on US, New Zealand, and Australian TV. Bill was featured in a two-page
article published on the front page of the Fort Myers News Press
Business Section describing how business owners benefit from his
coaching program. Bill was also recently invited to discuss "Coaching"
at the Financial Planners Association Conference in Boston. Bill's
