Further explanation of Coachable Goals
This appears to be a nebulous definition that may be somewhat difficult
to grasp at first. When we dig deeper to better understand what this entails,
you will discover the wonderful world that it opens up and the extremely
important and wonderful accomplishments it can lead to. First it is a
FUTURE PLACE YOU want to BE. This means you have chosen to move your life
to a place different than where you are today. A Coachable Goal is the
situation you want to enter, not the place you want to leave behind. You
always focus on where you want to go, not where you are leaving. You
decide where you want to go. You cannot be forced, sold, or tricked into
deciding to become this person. You will undoubtedly make this decision
on your own, when you are good and ready. You control where you want to
go and when you want to start the process.
It has been said that the greatest growth any person can ever experience
is the increased awareness of who they are. Think of the monumental
effort, money and time humans have spent over time seeking to unravel
the mystery of man. When the real mystery people have been seeking to
resolve has been themselves.
In essence, the future place you will want to be will be the one that
will allow you to prosper because you will enjoy doing what you love to
do, avoid what you dislike to do, and you will allowed to be the person
you really are. You will thrive by being your true self.
We are providing you
with a number of Coachable Goals that have actually been achieved (at
least 96.5% of the time) by over 1,200 TCC clients in the past five

This is TCC’s most popular coachable
goal and achieves the highest success rate.
Over 52% of TCC’s clients have selected this as their primary coachable
goal. Even though most of these clients were initially somewhat skeptical
about succeeding, over 97% actually achieved this remarkable coachable
goal.
Even more people would want to achieve this
goal.
We find that a large number of people are very unhappy in their work.
Yet, few people think it is possible to figure out what their dream position
really is and even fewer believe it is realistic to think they could actually
get it. Frankly, most people believe that achieving this goal sounds too
good to be true.
”What will you get when you discover
and get your “Ideal Income Position?"
• With your “Ideal Income Position” you will “Go
to Play” every day, because you love what you do and do what you
love.
• Your “Ideal Income Position” will allow you
to fulfill your passions, desires and priorities, follow your beliefs
and values, maximize your talents, and avoid your self-imposed obstacles.
• You will become so good at your “Ideal Income Position”
that you will contribute considerable value, which will eventually attract
substantial rewards (read compensation).
Why attaining your “Ideal Income Position”
is a Coachable Goal?
This is a "Coachable Goal" because it is a future place you
will want to be, AND because you will have to discover a great deal about
YOU in order to develop WHAT your ideal position will be. Some say that
the greatest form of human growth and improvement occurs when a person
learns more about who they really are and what motivates them.
How your personal coach will assist you to discover
and get your “Ideal Income Position”
There are generally three coaching stages to discover then get your “Ideal
Income Position”. They are usually accomplished in order, but the
second and third stages can be combined.
The first stage of personal coaching will be the Discovery
Stage. During the Discovery Stage your personal coach will ask you
open ended questions to assist you to reveal to your coach AND to YOU:
1. Your True Passions. These include the passions you know about,
the ones you suspect and the ones that have been hiding within you, but
have not been allowed out for your recognition and acceptance.
2. Your True Priorities and Desires. These include where your work
goals and actions, where your family goals and actions and where your
personal goals and actions fit together in the importance to YOU and ONLY
YOU!! You will gain a much clearer picture of what really means the most
to you and why.
3. Your Beliefs and Values. Some people refer to these as the elements
of spirituality. These include your integrity, your moral code of ethics
and your relationship with God.
4. Your True Talents. These include the talents you know about,
the talents you suspect you have, and those talents that have been hidden
and suppressed within you.
5. Your True Self-imposed Obstacles. These include the things in
life that you just do not want to do. They can be considered the opposite
of your passions. Everyone has such obstacles. It is OK to have them and
very important to know what they are, so you do not allow yourself to
be in a place where you have to do them repeatedly to succeed.
Once you and your personal coach
discover these many very important factors, about who you really are,
you will become "The Worlds Leading Expert on YOU!
This is the most important stage. This is where the power and wonderful
results from coaching are generated. This stage normally takes the most
amount of time (approximately two thirds of the entire process)
The next stage is for you and your coach to design, build, develop,
and/or find the position (or positions) to SUIT YOU! This way you
create the position around you. This is a complete switch from the normal
way people select their work positions (normally jobs). Most people focus
on the jobs (and rarely themselves). Far too many people pick their work
positions, or fall into their work positions by using the Trial and Error
method of selection. Then they ADJUST to the jobs to suit their bosses,
and/or the corporation, with little, if any concern for themselves.
But now you will be building the position and the environment in which
you work around YOU. This is the creative stage.
The final stage is that your coach will assist you to take the steps
to actually attain (be in) your “Ideal Income Position” This
is the completion stage, the execution stage. Through personal coaching,
this will normally be the easiest and fastest stage, because you will
know exactly what you want to do and why. You will focus on attaining
it, with little, if any diversions or distractions by other "opportunities."
You and your coach will organize the coaching process to fit your unique
personal characteristics, to fit the amount of effort you put into it,
to fit your pace in doing so, and to fit your unique circumstances.
If you are performing in a work position
that you don't like, or causes you stress, or leaves you empty, or leaves
you unfulfilled, there is nothing wrong with you or the place where you
work. You are just the wrong person at the wrong place at the wrong
time.
You are the wrong shaped peg in a square hole. But you do not know what
your true shape is, because you have been trying so hard to conform to
the square hole of your job. Then the job changed to a rectangle and you
adjusted to the new shape, and the pattern continues. You end up having
adjusted so much, that you do not even resemble what your true (unknown)
shape is. You then feel very much out of place.
The secret is to look at you first to discover who you are and what you
really want (what peg shape your truly are). Then design or find the position
to fit you. Your personal coach will focus totally on YOU, to assist you
to sort through all of your confusion and discover the true you.

Motherhood is a
very special time sensitive profession
I believe that being a mother is the most important profession there is.
I believe that Motherhood is highly underrated and not respected for how
difficult it is to be a successful mother. It is normally a non-income
position that has all of the attributes of work. However, the activities
of Motherhood are very uniquely time sensitive. The required intensity
and amount of effort, activity, and mental alertness diminishes, as children
grow older. The demands on mothers are constant and very intense at the
beginning, because newborn babies demand and need constant attention,
care, and feeding. But, as their children grow older the types of demands
on mothers change and require less effort and time.
Mothers will face the empty nest condition.
When the youngest
child goes to school for the first time, mothers find themselves with
a very unusual and refreshing experience: Free Time, normally devoid of
demands or pressures. But this free time can soon become a burden, if
not handled in a way that best suits the mother. This condition can also
be called a mid-life crisis. On the surface it can be a scary thought
of what to do next.
Mothers want to fill their free time with
meaningful activity
Many mothers want to discover and begin a new career that will provide
them pleasure, fulfillment, a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of belonging,
and even an additional income, during the time their children are busy
with school and after school activities. Most mothers want their new career
to augment their Motherhood, and not interfere with it. Mothers want and
need to continue to have a reason to use their minds, and to participate
in life.
Mothers face a challenge to enter the work
force.
Most mothers have normally been out of the work force for years and feel
a sense of insecurity and confusion about what to do and how to attract
employment. Unfortunately, many mothers feel they must spend money and
time to go back to school, before they will be accepted for employment.
They face an emotional, psychological and confusing dilemma.
Mothers want to discover and get their "Ideal
Income Position"
This is the point where mothers will want to engage a personal coach to assist
them to discover what they really want to do in their secondary career
that meets their unique time and personal desires and priorities. Your
personal coach will assist you to convert your special experience as a professional
mother into your new “Ideal Income Position”:
• By assisting you to discover what you really want to do that will
allow you to fulfill your passions, desires and priorities, maximize your
talents and avoid your self imposed obstacles.
• By taping into your special talents, skills, gifts and desires
you developed while being a mother.
• By assisting you to design your new career around you, to allow
you to enjoy and thrive in your new career, while you continue being a
professional mother.
• By assisting you to recognize and utilize the special values and
experiences you bring to the working world immediately without having
to waste time and money on unnecessary education.
• By assisting you to actually attain the new position you chose
as your “Ideal Income Position”
Mothers will enjoy
being the total center of attention for once.
Mothers normally spend a vast amount of their time and energy focusing
on the growth, health and happiness of others (their children and husband).
They lose sight of who they are and what they really want for themselves.
Mothers will enjoy a rare and different experience with personal coaching.
Mothers will feel what it is like to have someone else focus entirely
on them and do so for as long as it takes.
Mothers come loaded with lots of special and valuable characteristics
to produce valuable results in work. Yet, mothers are frequently unaware
of the many valuable skills they have. When mothers consider the many
jobs they have had to perform, just to be a successful mother, then they
will get a glimpse of the exceptional experience and talents they really
have. Here are just a few of the positions mothers experience these days,
that can be mind boggling, when taken as a whole: cook, conflict resolution
specialist, traffic coordinator, personal scheduler guidance counselor,
teacher, household manager, team coordinator, nutritionist, arts and crafts
teacher, driver, food buyer, clothes consultant, clothes buyer, vehicle
manager, home repair manager, cleaning specialist, philosopher, nurse,
romance consultant and supporter, fashion coordinator, and life mentor.
Mothers, it is
time to convert your special skills and knowledge into the secondary career
that you will possibly enjoy as much as you do by being a mother. By using
your own personal personal coach, you will discover all of the very unique
talents and passions you have and mold your next income position around
you.
Many people consider the promotion
into their first management position to be the most difficult step
in their career. This is because they will now be required to organize
their own work production, AND also organize, coordinate, direct, motivate,
and be responsible for the desired work production (whatever that is)
of the other people they supervise.
When you become a "Successful First
Time Manager" you will be able to
• Organize yourself so well that you will have the time and energy
to organize others.
• Organize the efforts of others to achieve the collectable goals
of the group you deem important.
• Define the group goals and communicate them to your members in
such a way that they will want to perform the duties needed to produce
the results desired.
• Recognize the talents, skills, motivations, personalities, and
conflicts within each person in your group, and position each person so
they can operate in the best place for them, within the parameters given
to you, as the manager.
• Work with your subordinates to assist them to improve as productive
team members.
• Protect your team from negative outside influences and actions,
mostly from within your same company.
• Enjoy what you are doing, without having to work long and stress
filled hours.
The Keys to becoming a "Successful
First Time Manager"
The key to becoming a "Successful First Time Manager"
is to have a full understanding of YOU first. (Sound familiar?) This way
you will know what aspects of management you really want to do, where
your talents are, what you do not want to do, and what your real priorities
are. Your coach will assist you to become the “Worlds Leading
Expert on YOU.” You and your coach will work as a team to create
the management program to allow you to succeed by being yourself. You
will be able to perform the needed management functions your really enjoy
and are very good at doing. You will also discover the needed management
functions you will want to have others perform. You will then be able
to pick others who enjoy and excel at performing the needed duties you
chose to avoid.
That way a team of people will complete all of the needed management functions
for you. Each team member will produce excellent results, because each
person (you select) will really enjoy doing so. You will become the leader
of your total management team, allowing you to do what you want and spend
far less time and energy doing what you dislike. Does this almost sound
too good to be true?
Everybody wins!
You win because you get to operate in your personally designed zone, and
you will do it very well, your subordinates will win because they will
also be in their own unique zones, and the company or business wins, because
the results of your team will improve.

(Successfully start your own business)
Entrepreneurs want to achieve their dreams
of being their own boss and working at what they love by starting their
own business. By achieving the "Coachable Goal" of becoming
a more productive and successful entrepreneur, you will:
• Discover whether being an entrepreneur is what you really want
to do.
• Discover what you will want and need to prosper (on your terms)
as an entrepreneur
• Discover the actual business you would want to start, or acquire,
that will best suit YOU and your personal conditions.
• Develop a strategy and game plan to become the entrepreneurial
owner of your desired business, by spending the least amount of resources
(money), time and effort.
• Execute your plan to start or acquire your desired business to
best suit you and your conditions.
• Transition from the mindset and work habits you have into the new
programs that will lead to entrepreneurial success. Owning and operating
a business is much different than any job you have ever had.
• Establish the conditions for your business to produce the profits
you want to prosper so you can employ these profits to have a happy and
balanced life away from business
• Establish the conditions for you to have the time and energy to
enjoy your balanced life away from business
• Organize the efforts and results of others to operate your business
to create your desired profits with as little management needed on your
part.
• Organize the operations and conditions of the business to allow
you to perform the needed functions and duties that you truly enjoy and
excel at achieving.
• Organize the operations and conditions of the business to have
others to achieve the desired results of the needed functions and duties
that you truly dislike.
• Organize the operations and conditions of the business to allow
you exit the business at the time and under the conditions that best suit
you.
Why do so many businesses fail?
Many people dream of starting their
own business, especially in The US and Canada. The entrepreneurial spirit
is strong and popular. Many people are attracted to the power of being
their own boss and making money by operating in a field that they really
love. Approximately 2,000,000 businesses are started each year in the
US. Yet, over 800,000 of these businesses will not finish the first year
and over 1,800,000 will not finish year three.
These business failures do not have to happen. Too many entrepreneurs
feel an obligation to go it alone. Entrepreneurs are independent people
who have an inner drive to accomplish THEIR own dreams. Being their own
independent entrepreneurial boss to pursue their own vision is a very
appealing process. The energy and drive to work hard and long hours to
start and run their businesses is a powerful force. Yet, this go it alone,
do everything attitude and practice is the number one cause of failure.
The simple reason for this high failure rate is that no one person can
perform all of the needed business functions at the right time and at
the needed success level, for the business to succeed. But, so many people
try anyway.
The many business books, some of which are almost accepted at the gospel,
encourage this single, go it alone, pursuit of the entrepreneurial dream.
They sell their advice to follow their special list of "How To Steps"
to succeed. Too many people feel that they can follow these cookbook steps
and succeed. But the myth is that no one person can follow the advice
given. The truth is that every entrepreneur is very different. Entrepreneurs
must follow their own very unique path that is best for him or her to
succeed. But the last place entrepreneurs’ look to achieve success
is within themselves. Instead, they only focus on the business itself.
You, the Entrepreneur, control the success
of your business.
The truth is that the success of the business is dependent on the growth
and improvement of the entrepreneur and the ability of the entrepreneur
to completely design and create the business around him or her. Start
up businesses succeed because the entrepreneurs do not force themselves
to perform all of the needed business functions. They perform the functions
that they really want to perform themselves, and they get others to perform
the other needed business functions. The beauty of starting any business
is the powerful control entrepreneurs have over designing their business.
They have ultimate control over almost every aspect of the business.
Unfortunately, entrepreneurs rarely consider that the most important person
and asset of their start up business are themselves. It is not selfish
for the entrepreneur to design and build their business completely around
their own personal desires, passions, talents, and self imposed obstacles.
In fact, it is a business necessity that entrepreneurs NOT TRY to be the
super human owner. When entrepreneurs create the environment that allows
them to shine by only doing what they really want, and having others perform
what they do not want to do, then the chances that the business will succeed
improve dramatically.
Engaging a business coach will ensure that
entrepreneurs will succeed.
Your business coach will assist you to discover what you really want to
do, and are really good at, without having to go through a long and arduous
trial and error process that normally takes decades to gain any valuable
knowledge. You will have a very loyal, focused, dedicated equal partner
to assist you to become the successful and productive entrepreneur you
want to be.
How will your business coach assist you?
Your business coach will assist you to discover a full understanding of
YOU first. (Sound familiar?) This way you will know what functions of
the business you really like to do, where your talents are, what you do
not want to do, and what your real priorities are. Your coach will assist
you to become the Worlds Leading Expert on YOU. You and your partner
coach will design, develop and set up your start up business to suit YOU,
to allow you to succeed by being yourself. Your business coach becomes
your secret weapon to success. You will no longer be alone, but only you
will know that.
When is the best time to engage your business
coach?
You will want to engage your business coach before you even decide to
become an entrepreneur to discover if this is really what you want to
do. If it is, you and your coach can work behind the scenes to lay the
groundwork of building your business, while you continue in your present
income producing position, so that when you take the ultimate step, it
will be a much less dramatic and less risky step. This will allow you
to be able to perform the needed business functions you really enjoy and
are very good at doing. You will also discover the needed business functions
you will want to have others perform. You will then be able to pick others
who enjoy and excel at performing the needed duties you chose to avoid.
They can either be partners, employees or outsourcing groups. You and
your coach will work together to select the right people or groups to
suit you, even before you actually start your business. Creating your
team to suit you will be a key component to your success.
Attaining true Life Balance sounds very
inviting. But what is Life Balance?
(True Peace of Mind with enthusiasm for life is another way the describe
it.)
We all lead three lives. We have our work
lives, our personal lives, and our family lives. When you attain Life
Balance you will:
• Enjoy and thrive in your work related life. This consists of what
you do to earn an income to provide resources, allows you to feel the
sense of accomplishment, provides you a sense of belonging and provides
you a sense of identity, AND
• Enjoy and thrive in your family life. This consists of your relationships
with your blood relatives, you choose to keep, your direct family, and
your chosen close friends AND
• Enjoy and thrive in your personal life. This is comprised of your
health, your private likes and dislikes, your spirituality and your hobbies.
Life balance is very different for everyone. That is why you will need
to discover what Life Balance really means for YOU, before you will be
able to attain it. People spend their entire lives trying to discover
what it means to attain Life Balance, by using the all sorts of methods.
Your personal coach will accelerate the discovery process to produce a far
clearer picture of who you are, AND assist you to actually attain it.
There are generally three coaching stages to achieve Life balance. They
are usually accomplished in order, but the second and third stages can
be and frequently are combined.
Life Balance
The first stage of personal coaching will be the Discovery Stage. During the
Discovery Stage your personal coach will ask you open ended questions to assist
you to reveal to your coach AND to YOU:
1. Your True Passions. These include the passions you know about,
the ones you suspect and the ones that have been hiding within you, but
have not been allowed out for your recognition and acceptance.
2. Your True Priorities and Desires. These include where your work
goals and actions, where your family goals and actions and where your
personal goals and actions fit together in the importance for YOU and
ONLY YOU!! You will gain a much clearer picture of what really means the
most to you and why.
3. Your Beliefs and Values. Some people refer to these as the elements
of spirituality. These include your integrity, your moral code of ethics
and your relationship with God.
4. Your True Talents. These include the talents you know about,
the talents you might suspect you have, and those talents that have been
hidden and suppressed within you.
5. Your True Self-imposed Obstacles. These include the things in
life that you just do not want to do. They can be considered the opposite
of your passions. Everyone has such obstacles. It is OK to have them and
very important to know what they are, so you do not allow yourself to
be in a place where you have to do them repeatedly to succeed.
Once you and your personal coach discover these many very important factors,
which make up who you really are, you will become "The Worlds Leading
Expert on YOU! This is the most important stage. This is where the power
and wonderful results from coaching are generated. This stage normally
takes the most amount of time (approximately two thirds of the entire
process)
The next stage is for you and your coach to design, build, and/or develop,
your life to SUIT YOU! This way you create the way you live around you.
This is a complete switch from the normal way people allow their lives
to develop. Most people focus on the jobs, the life situations and relationships,
and not themselves. Far too many people pick their life situations, or
fall into their life conditions by using the Trial and Error method of
selection. Then they ADJUST to life conditions to suit their bosses, their
family, their friends, and others with little, if any concern for themselves.
But now you will be building life conditions and the environment you want
around YOU. This is the creative stage.
The final stage is that your coach will assist you to take the steps to

Business owners want to increase the profits
of their businesses (and their own take home income) but do so with less
effort and less time required so they will enjoy other parts of their
lives with the additional money the business generates. Being a business
owner can be a lonely and never ending process.
By achieving the "Coachable Goal"
of becoming a more productive and successful business owner, you will:
• Discover whether continuing as a business owner is what you really
want to do.
• Discover what you will want and need to prosper (on your terms)
as a business owner
• Determine which business would allow you to prosper personally
and financially. If it is the one you already own and operate, terrific!
If not the next step is important
• Develop a strategy and game plan to transition from owning and
operating your existing business into the one that best suits you, by
spending the least amount of resources (money), time and effort.
• Execute your plan to transition to your desired business to best
suit you and your conditions.
• Establish the conditions for your business to produce the profits
you want to prosper so you can employ these profits to have a happy and
balanced life away from business
• Establish the conditions for you to have the time and energy to
enjoy your balanced life away from business
• Organize the efforts and results of others to operate your business
to create your desired profits with as little management needed on your
part.
• Organize the operations and conditions of the business to allow
you to perform the needed functions and duties that you truly enjoy and
excel at achieving.
• Organize the operations and conditions of the business to have
others to achieve the desired results of the needed functions and duties
that you truly dislike.
• Organize the operations and conditions
of the business to allow you exit the business at the time and under the
conditions that best suit you.
The growth of the business depends on the owner
The growth and success of businesses are dependent upon the growth and
improvement of the owners. As the head goes (the owner) so goes the body
(the business). There are basic functions every business must perform
to succeed. These functions include: product development or acquisition,
marketing of the products or services, sales of the products or services,
delivery of the products or services, collections and accountability of
moneys, hiring and organizing employees, managing the day to day operations
of the business, data collection and record keeping, establishing and
managing communications with customers and business team members, setting
and leading the business towards visionary objectives, etc. The responsibility
of making sure these functions are completed at the right time and in
the best manner for the business falls completely on the owner. If the
owner does not do his or her job to make sure all of the needed business
functions are completed, then the business will falter.
Why do so many businesses fail?
Statistics have proven that over 40% of all start up businesses in the
US will not make it through their first year, 90% will not reach the end
of year three, and 98% will fail to complete five years of operations.
Why do so many businesses fail or suffer, when they do not have to?
1. Because owners try to do all of the functions themselves. It is very
rare that any one person can perform all of the needed business functions
alone, and at the level needed for the business to succeed.
2. Because owners do not tend to the needs of the business, but focus
on problems outside of the business caused by the competition, the economy,
suppliers, etc.
3. Because owners fail to recognize that the true source of power for
the business to succeed (or fail) is their own growth.
Yet, entrepreneurs and business owners are told by virtually all of the
business books and Gurus to do most everything themselves. These experts
sell their advice and specialized steps to succeed at business. I understand
that the sales of "How to" advice exceeds a billion dollars
a year. It appears that the business of advising others may be more profitable
than using the advice given.
Why do businesses succeed?
Owners who create their businesses around themselves run successful businesses.
They make sure all of the needed business functions are performed properly
and on time. But, these owners do not even try to perform them all by
themselves. They select the functions they really enjoy, and those they
excel at completing to handle themselves. They have these other functions
performed by people or groups (either within the business or outside it)
who want to achieve them, and excel at doing so. Outsourcing business
functions today is much easier and less expensive than ever before.
The key for owners to become more successful.
The key to becoming a more productive business owner is to have a full
understanding of YOU first. (Sound familiar?) This way you will know what
functions of the business you really like to do, where your talents are,
what you do not want to do, and what your real priorities are. Your coach
will assist you to become the Worlds Leading Expert on YOU. You and your
coach will work as a team to create the business around you, to allow
you to succeed by being yourself. You will be able to continue to perform
the needed business functions your really enjoy and are very good at doing.
You will also discover the needed business functions you will want to
have others perform. You will then be able to pick others who enjoy and
excel at performing the needed duties you chose to avoid.
(Generate more sales with less effort)
Almost every sales person wants to increase
sales. But at what price? By achieving the "Coachable Goal"
of becoming a more productive and successful sales person, you will:
• Discover whether being a sales person is what you really want to
do.
• Discover what you will want and need to prosper (on your terms)
as a sales person
• Discover the actual products you want to sell and the conditions
you will want to sell them, that will best suit YOU and your personal
desires and needs.
• Establish the conditions for your
sales activity to produce the sales results you want so you can prosper
and employ these profits to have a happy and balanced life away from sales.
• Develop a strategy and game plan to become the sales person to
suit your needs and desires, so you will have fewer
frustrations, because you find your natural “Zone.”
• Execute your plan to become the
sales person you want to be to best suit you and your conditions,
by avoiding your self-imposed obstacles, without having to change who
you are.
• Organize the operations and conditions of your sales activity to
allow you to perform the needed functions and duties that you truly enjoy
and excel at achieving.
• Organize the operations and conditions of your sales activity to
have others to achieve the desired results of the needed functions and
duties that you truly dislike.
You have virtual control over your success
Being a successful sales person is almost totally dependent upon the sales
person. This is especially true for fully commissioned sales people, and
even real estate agents. There are countless books, seminars, classes,
tapes and CD's that provide you a host of ways to be a successful sales
person. The information is easily available and very helpful. But why
do so many people who access this wealth of "How To" sales information
fail to succeed at sales? It is because they concentrate on doing the
"What" they are supposed to do and do it the "Way"
they are supposed to do it according to these experts. They focus on the
tasks and how to perform them to fit the way the experts tell them to.
For sales people to become successful, they need to focus on the Results
that need to be attained and achieve them in their own unique way. Succeeding
at sales means convincing the desired number of customers to purchase
the products you sell at the prices you want. Every sales person is different.
Each sales person needs to find the right products to sell, the right
customers to convince, and the best way to interact with them to suit
their own personal desires and talents. The options and choices are almost
unlimited from selling yak milk in Mongolia to selling high tech security
systems in New York.
The key for sales people to become more
productive.
The key for sales people to succeed at sales is to discover whether the
sales profession is what they really want to do, and if so, to create
the sales situations to perfectly suit them. This can only be done by
discovering yourself first. (Sound familiar?) The easiest, fastest and
most effective way to accomplish this is to engage the services of a sales
coach. Your coach will assist you to discover what functions of the sales
process you really like to do, where your talents are, what you do not
want to do, and what your real priorities are. Your coach will assist
you to become the Worlds Leading Expert
on YOU. You and your coach will work as
a team to create the sales process around you, to allow you to succeed
by being yourself. You will be able to continue to perform the needed
sales functions you really enjoy and are very good at doing. You will
also discover the needed sales functions you will want to have others
perform. Having others complete paperwork is a popular thing to do. You
will then be able to pick others who enjoy and excel at performing the
needed duties you chose to avoid.
Everybody Wins!
This way you will be able to perform the sales functions you really enjoy,
and that you excel at accomplishing, and you will have others complete
the sales functions you want to avoid. They will perform them with less
effort and in less time and at less cost than you would have expended.
You win, the customers win, and the company wins.

Many people who have ADD (Attention Deficit
Disorder) are led to believe by those who do not have ADD, that they need
to “Fix” the problems associated with ADD. Yet, the real truth
is that people with ADD are blessed with talents and special capabilities
that non-ADD people cannot even fathom. And most of the “problems”
associated with ADD are labeled as problems by the people who do not have
ADD. ADD people act and think different and do have issues that can improve
their lives when they are handled. However, when ADDer’s focus on
“fixing” their “Problems” they lose sight of their
real positive blessings.
Your ADD coach will assist you to achieve one or more of the other “Coachable
Goals” so you will discover all of your true ADD blessed talents
and capabilities (normally creative in nature), which is benefit number
one. Your coach will also assist you to structure your life and behavior
to unleash YOU within your specialties and overcome your ADD issues at
the same time. This is benefit number two.
For example: One of the “problems” attached to Adder’s
is the apparent lack of organization. When an ADD person is told to get
organized, the question is: Organized for what? Organizing a day care
center for 25 two year olds, is different than organizing a infantry regiment
in the Army, which is different than organizing a 17 car funeral with
5 religions, etc. Yet, ADD people are notorious for their superb and unique
organization skills and results.
Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing with his new more organized process
of constructing vehicles. Albert Einstein organized the relationship between
energy, matter, and time. Thomas Edison organized the testing of 5,000
different materials to find the right filament to create light. David
Neeleman organized Jet Blue Airlines to be one of the only new airlines
to attract new customers and grow and produce profits, while most airlines
are doing the opposite. All of these people have or had ADD, and appeared
to be very disorganized to non-ADD people, yet they tapped into their
ADD blessings and created organization where others had never been.
• Discover your special ADD gifts to unleash you to maximize your
unique talents on your own terms to assist you to achieve your chosen
“Coachable Goals”
• Your coach will assist you to accomplish your “Coachable Goals,”
by accentuating your ADD blessings in your own unique ADD manner.
• Recognize your ADD related drawbacks and develop new behavior patterns
to reduce and eliminate their negative affects on you.
• Adjust your behavior to overcome the focus, communicating, and
forgetfulness drawbacks, on your own terms, to achieve your chosen “Coachable
Goals”
• Recognize and accept your ADD specialness to allow you to lead
a very enjoyable and productive life to suit your own personal desires
and priorities, without being forced to conform to the normal life of
others.
The coaching process taps into the intuitive core of people. People with
ADD are very intuitive. Normal people have even accused Adder’s to
be too intuitive. Adder’s have used their special intuitive talents
to take the coaching process to wonderful accomplishments.
Bill Dueease, the President and Co-Founder of The Coach Connection proudly
sings the praises of having ADD. Bill started The Coach Connection in
2001, as a result of being coached and has written and spoken on the many
blessings of having ADD, from the perspective of the inside looking out.
He has also helped a large number of ADD people unleash themselves to
achieve wonderful coachable goals through coaching. Read more about his
article, entitled “ADD,
Blessing or Disorder” and Bills
presentations on ADD.

Many established managers find themselves
in a position where they are not getting the most from their team. This
may be because they have drifted into management without training, or
the requirements and/or circumstances of management have changed dramatically.
Becoming more productive as a manager means increasing your effectiveness
and the results of your team with less effort and time required on your
part. (As opposed to having you and your team working longer and harder
hours to extract more team results.)
You will become a more productive manager
by Improving your ability to
• Organize and manage your own life more,
• Crystallize the goals and objectives of your managed group,
• Communicate the desired outcomes from your team,
• Recognize the true capabilities and motivations of your team,
• Organize the activities of your team to achieve the desired outcomes,
• Encourage your team members to motivate themselves to produce the
desired results,
• Protect your team members from disruptive and conflicting pressures
from others.
The Keys to becoming a "More Productive
Manager"
The key to becoming a more productive manager is to have a full understanding
of YOU first. (Sound familiar?) This way you will know what aspects of
management you really want to do, where your talents are, what you do
not want to do, and what your real priorities are. Your coach will assist
you to become the Worlds Leading Expert on You. You and your coach
will work as a team to create the management program to allow you to succeed
by being yourself. You will be able to continue to perform the needed
management functions you really enjoy and are very good at doing. You
will also discover the needed management functions you will want have
others to perform. You will then be able to pick others who enjoy and
excel at performing the needed duties you chose to avoid.
That way a team of people will complete all of the needed management functions.
Each team member will produce excellent results, because each person (you
select) will really enjoy doing so. You will become the leader of your
total management team, allowing you to do what you want and spend far
less time and energy doing what you dislike. Does this almost sound too
good to be true?
Being a true leader requires a special
person to have a special drive and very special personal characteristics.
True leaders can’t fake it. They have to be very real and genuine,
because the people who they are attempting to lead constantly scrutinize
them. True leadership is developed in people who really want to lead.
Leadership begins and ends with the leader. Leaders must know and accept
themselves in order to be accepted and to be effective in convincing others
to follow.
When you accomplish the coachable goal
of becoming very productive leader you will:
• Attain clarity about your own inner drives and purposes.
• Recognize and accept your own talents and boundaries
• Crystallize your visions.
• Be able to communicate your visions to others.
• Be able to motivate others to provide the results you want to achieve
your vision.
• Be able to organize the collective effort of your group to achieve
your visions.
• Become a successful leader with less effort and less time required
on your part.
The key to becoming a more productive leader is to have a full understanding
of YOU first. (Sound familiar?) This way you will know what aspects of
leadership you really want to do, where your talents are, what you do
not want to do, and what your real priorities are. Your coach will assist
you to become the Worlds Leading Expert on You. You and your coach will
work as a team to create the leadership program to allow you to succeed
by being yourself. You will be able to continue to perform the needed
leadership, and if necessary, the needed management functions your really
enjoy and are very good at doing. You will also discover the needed leadership
and management functions you will want have others perform.
Another key ingredient to becoming a great leader is to develop other
people into leaders to take over the rolls and duties that you choose
to relinquish. You will be so comfortable within you own skin that you
will clearly identify the leadership rolls you want to have performed
by others, without guilt or stress on your part. You will also be able
to find, identify and recruit others who enjoy and excel at performing
leadership rolls you want to offer them. You will be able to encourage
and assist them to grow into these leadership rolls, without the need
to micromanage, or control them. They will grow and flourish because of
your leadership, and your leadership productivity will improve accordingly.
There are generally three coaching stages to become a more productive
leader. They are usually accomplished in order, but the second and third
stages can be and frequently are combined.
The first stage of personal coaching will be the Discovery Stage.
During the Discovery Stage your personal coach will ask you open ended
questions to assist you to reveal to your coach AND to YOU:
1. Your True Passions. These include the passions you know about,
the ones you suspect and the ones that have been hiding within you, but
have not been allowed out for your recognition and acceptance.
2. Your True Priorities and Desires. These include where your work
goals and actions, where your family goals and actions and where your
personal goals and actions fit together in the importance for YOU and
ONLY YOU!! You will gain a much clearer picture of what really means the
most to you and why.
3. Your Beliefs and Values. Some people refer to these as the elements
of spirituality. These include your integrity, your moral code of ethics,
and your relationship with God.
4. Your True Talents. These include the talents you know about,
the talents you might suspect you have, and those talents that have been
hidden and suppressed within you.
5. Your True Self-imposed Obstacles. These include the things in
life that you just do not want to do. They can be considered the opposite
of your passions. Everyone has such obstacles. It is OK to have them and
very important to know what they are, so you do not allow yourself to
be in a place where you have to do them repeatedly to survive.
Once you and your personal coach discover these many very important factors,
which make up who you really are, you will become "The Worlds Leading
Expert on YOU!
This is the most important stage. This is where the power and wonderful
results from coaching are generated. This stage normally takes the most
amount of time (approximately two thirds of the entire process)
The next stage is for you and your coach to design, build, and/or develop,
your leadership position to SUIT YOU! This way you create your leadership
position around you. This is a complete switch from the normal way people
select their work positions (normally jobs). Far too many people pick
their work positions, or fall into their work positions by using the Trial
and Error method of selection. Then they ADJUST to life conditions to
suit their bosses, their family, their friends, and others with little,
if any concern for themselves.
But now you will be building life conditions and the environment you want
around YOU. This is the creative stage.
The final stage is that your coach will assist you to take the steps
to actually attain (be in) the leadership position that is designed specifically
for YOU! This is the completion stage, the execution stage. Through
personal coaching, this will normally be the easiest and fastest stage,
because you will know exactly what you want to do and why. You will focus
on attaining it, with little, if any diversions or distractions by other
"opportunities."
You and your personal coach will organize the coaching process to fit
your unique personal characteristics, to fit the amount of effort you
put into it, to fit your pace in doing so, and to fit your unique circumstances.
The concentrated objective of your personal coach is for you to become
a more productive manager, on YOUR TERMS.

The conversion into
retirement is a very unique and dramatic step in life. The changes in
a person's short term and long term objectives change dramatically. The
changes in a person's daily routines change dramatically. The changes
in a person's social structure and status changes dramatically. The changes
within a person's family interactions change dramatically. The changes
in a person's life perspectives change dramatically. Yet, the transition
into retirement is rarely given the planning or thought it deserves. Unfortunately,
far too many people go into retirement with virtually no purpose, with
little, if any, planning, and/or little understanding of what will actually
happen. People are led to believe that retirement is a form of paradise
that will provide full retirement for the rest of their lives.
The transition into
retirement is more dramatic than it appears. The
transition requires considerable thought, self awareness, and effort to
complete successfully. When you achieve the coachable goal of "transitioning
into an enjoyable and prosperous retirement," you will:
•Discover when and how to transition into retirement that will be
best for you (within the limits of your work position).
•Discover what you will want to do to receive your greatest enjoyment.
•Discover what you will want and need to achieve the prosperity and
resources to enjoy your retirement.
•Discover the new life purposes and goals you will want to include
in your retirement life.
•Discover the best retirement structure for you (full or partial).
• Establish the conditions for you to enjoy a more balanced life
during retirement.
•Execute the plan to achieve your most desirable retirement structure.
•Research and discover the dramatic changes that will occur in your
life due to leaving your daily work routine.
•Transition from the mindset and work habits you have into the new
thought process and life routines that will lead to full retirement success.
•Execute a smooth and desirable conversion into retirement.
Why do so many people
become disappointed with retirement?
Unfortunately, far too many people discover that retirement did not become
the satisfying, or even enjoyable new life that they had expected. They
become disillusioned and disappointed. Why do people become so disappointed
with their life after retirement? They do not recognize, consider or accept
the very dramatic changes that occur to them with retirement. Retirement
creates a change in people’s identity and status. They are no longer
the manager, or sales person, or operator, or the important person at
work they once were. They lose much of their sense of worth, because they
are no longer needed, because they are no longer able to participate in
work achievements and team activities. They have been replaced! This can
be disturbing.
Their social circles will normally change, because people rarely understand
the influence their work life and routines have on their social life.
Their feelings of camaraderie, and the social interactions with their
coworkers and customers will be lost. Even many of the after work hours
social functions, like sports teams, Bar-B Queue's, etc. will change or
be lost. Their normal conversations with others will change, especially
if work related topics dominated thoughts and interactions within social
gatherings. Retirees will rarely be included in conversations about work
related matters, because they are no longer involved in work.
The retirement illusion
There is an illusion that all problems and stresses related to working
life will be solved upon retirement. Sure, many of the work related problems,
like bad bosses, bad commutes, bad working conditions, etc., will be resolved
by going into retirement. But the other benefits of working life will
also be lost. Unfortunately, in their haste to escape the bad things of
work, many people overlook the many good aspects of work that they will
also lose. The truth is that retirement is very different and people must
discover, then follow, their own very unique path that is best for them
to reap the full rewards of retirement. Unfortunately, the last place
retirees look to achieve retirement success (on their own unique terms)
is within themselves.
You control the degree of your retirement
enjoyment and prosperity.
The success of the transition into retirement is dependent upon your growth
and improvement, and your ability to completely design and create your
retirement to suit your very personal and unique desires, talents and
needs. The beauty of retirement is the powerful control you have over
designing your retirement. Retirement normally provides retirees considerable
time to devote to newly discovered pleasures and desires, and enough financial
resources to be able to enjoy the free time. You have ultimate control
over almost every aspect of retirement. But, you do not have the time
or energy to use the normal trial and error method to test and probe various
aspects of retirement, before you find what you really want to do and
be. You will most likely want to set up your retirement right the first
time. The clock is ticking.
Retirees forget
to consider the true importance of themselves
Unfortunately, retirees rarely consider that the most important person
and asset of their retirement are themselves. It is not selfish for the
retirees to design and build their retirement completely around their
own personal desires, passions, talents, and self imposed obstacles. This
does not mean that the retirees will ignore their mates. I means that
they will replace their working time and effort with the life that will
bring them joy and pleasure on their own terms (to include their mate
if they wish) so they will have the energy and peace of mind to be a great
mate themselves. This way they eliminate the grumpy factor, of having
an unhappy sour person show up after retirement.
Engaging a personal coach will ensure that you
will get the most from retirement years.
Your personal coach will assist you to discover what you really want to, do
and are really good at, without having to go through a long and arduous
trial and error process that normally takes decades to gain any valuable
knowledge. You will have a very loyal, focused, dedicated equal partner
to assist you to become the successful and productive retiree you want
to be.
How will your personal coach assist you?
Your personal coach will assist you to discover a full understanding of YOU
first. (Sound familiar?) This way you will know what functions of the
life you really like to do, where your talents are, what you do not want
to do, and what your real priorities are. Your coach will assist you to
become the Worlds Leading Expert on YOU. You and your partner personal coach
will design, develop and set up your retirement life to suit YOU, to allow
you to succeed by being yourself. Your retirement coach becomes your secret
weapon to success. You will no longer be alone, but only you will know
that.
When is the best time to engage your personal coach?
You will greatly benefit from engaging your left coach, whenever you are
ready. That can be anytime, even after you have been in retirement for
years. You will never be too old to discover yourself and have fun while
doing it. If you can, you will want to engage your personal coach before you
even decide to retire to discover if this is really what you want to do.
If it is, you and your coach can work behind the scenes to lay the groundwork
of building your retirement life, while you continue in your present income
producing position, so that when you take the ultimate step, it will be
a much less dramatic and less risky step.
Using a personal coach
to lose weight has been very successful, many times as a last resort method.
If you have physical or psychological issues that require medical attention,
we strongly recommend that you consult your physician, before you engage
a coach to lose weight. However, if you feel that you have tried every
diet and other weight loss program without success, you might want to
consider using a personal coach who specializes in weight loss.
When you accomplish the coachable goal of
losing weight you will:
•Discover what your true passions, desires, and priorities are with
respect to your weight situation.
•Discover where weight loss fits into YOUR priorities of life.
•Focus on accomplishing other more important goals (to you only)
in life that have been impeding your ability to lose weight.
•Discover why you really want to lose weight and what you will accomplish
by losing the weight.
•Determine how much weight you will want lose to fulfill your purposes,
and if needed the time table to accomplish it.
•Discover what other self imposed obstacles you have that have hindered
your weight loss activities.
•Organize a weight loss program that will fit your chosen lifestyle
and purposes.
•Follow your weight loss program step by step until you have achieved
your desired weight loss.
How can your personal (weight) coach assist
you to lose weight?
How can talking to a personal coach over the phone assist you to lose weight
and keep it off, if the other more hands on methods were not successful?
Your personal coach will focus completely on you, and what motivates you.
You will first discover your passions, priorities, and desires, spirituality,
talents and self-imposed obstacles. Then you will discover if losing weight
is really what YOU want to do. And you will discover WHY (for what purpose)
YOU want to lose weight. These will be YOUR own reasons, as opposed to
losing weight to satisfy the “should’s” of others. Knowing
WHY you want to lose weight for your own purposes, and how you prioritize
your weight loss reasons in your overall life scheme of things will create
a great relief.
The physical formula for weight loss.
The physical components of reducing weight by a human being are not complicated.
In essence, people have to expend more energy (calories) through exercise
than the quantity of calories they convert by processing the food they
consume. Continuing this formula on a steady basis will cause the body
to tap into the calorie reserves (fat) to provide the additional energy
(calories) needed to provide fuel to the body during the exercise. The
reduction of the calorie reserves will reduce the fat content and weight
of the body. The basic prescription for weight loss is to exercise more
and eat less.
Put your weight loss into your own perspective.
You will put your weight loss into your own peace of mind perspective.
This alone will improve your internal will and strength to take the weight
loss actions you want and need on your own terms when no one else is around.
This will also allow you to consider the possibility that losing weight
does not rate as high on your own priority scale as you had previously
thought. So you will be able to organize your weight loss goals and actions
within your own personal internal priorities, to free you up with the
guilt and self defeating false disappointment, because you did not meet
the weight loss goals imposed on you by others. You will be comfortable
in your own skin and devise the plan to reduce your weight because it
suits you.
Design your lifestyle to include losing
weight.
Then you and your coach will devise a new lifestyle and program of living
that will allow you to operate without guilt and the negative pull from
the should’s of others. If you still place weight loss at a very
high priority, your program will involve the reduction of the amount of
calories you consume on a regular basis and will involve the increase
of your physical exercise to burn off more calories. Your personal coach will
be your equal partner teammate who will keep you focused on the purpose
you chose to lose weight, so that the weight loss becomes a part of you
achieving your purpose.
A sample reason to lose weight.
For example you may decide that you really want to improve your tennis
game, and that losing 50 pounds will boost your tennis prowess considerably.
The real goal is to improve at tennis. With your coach, you will probably
want to focus on playing more tennis (increasing exercise), and use the
internal motivation to reduce your food intake, because you know it will
fulfill your own personal priority to play better tennis.
The false need to get into shape.
Many people feel a need (normally imposed on them by others) to get into
better shape. Getting into shape is not an easy thing to do. There are
many different types of physical shape, based upon the various reasons
for being in shape. For example, getting in shape to run a marathon is
much different than getting in shape to play football. One requires reducing
the body of unwanted fat and even muscle, to increase long-term cardiovascular
endurance, without the need for short burst of speed. The other requires
gaining high levels of muscular strength, muscular mass, and explosive
power for very short busts of speed. What a difference! The person getting
into shape has to know what he or she intends to do with their newfound
physical shape to be sure it fits the end goal. This is the same process
that people will want to use to lose weight. Losing weight for no other
purpose than to lose weight has not proven to be a very effective process.
Many people are drawn to the profession
of personal coaching. It is estimated that from 6,000 to over 10,000 people
each year enter the personal coaching field in one way or another. We at The
Coach Connection recommend becoming a professional personal coach, if doing
so will place you in your ideal income position. We will be using the
term personal coach to encompass all forms of life related coaching, to include
business, career, transition, executive, ADD, leadership, personal and
other such coaches. We do NOT consider personal coaching to include sports
coaching, coaching subordinates, coaching close friends or close family,
or coaching other employees within the same corporation (internal coaching).
The common sales pitch to entice you into coach
training.
Not everybody will be well suited to becoming a successful personal coach.
Unfortunately, the approximately 165 for profit coach training schools
have become very adept at selling the coaching profession to anyone who
will listen in order to collect their training fees. The number of specialized
For Profit coach training schools has exploded from less than 11 in 1998
to over 165 today, due to the remarkable profits they reap from selling
personal coach training. If you used any of the major search engines in your
quest to find a coach for you, you undoubtedly had to wade through countless
advertisements from coach training schools.

Personal coaches improve
their coaching effectiveness and their clients successes
after having achieved their own Coachable Goals through personal coaching.
One of the most
important ingredients in the training process to become an effective and
successful personal coach is that a person must experience true professional
coaching themselves. Being coached is a wonderful and remarkable process
that is extremely difficult to comprehend and understand without actually
experiencing it Under The Four Key Conditions of successful coaching.
Participating in practice coaching in school settings or in corporate
settings, rarely provides the true-life wonders involved in real coaching.
We have found that coaches who have engaged the services of their own
personal coach, and who have achieved at least one personally chosen Coachable
Goal through professional personal coaching will have a much easier time
relating to people who want to be coached, and will be able to be much
more effective in assisting their clients to success. Coaches
who have personally experienced the special wonder of achieving their
own Coachable Goals through personal coaching, will have the confidence
and knowledge to provide the same successes to their clients.
This coachable goal
it based upon the condition that the people who chose this goal are certain
that continuing as a personal coach is definitely what they want to do.
If there is any doubt, we recommend that you select the “Discover
if becoming a personal coach is Right For You, then become a successful
one.” Coachable Goal.
What really happens when people become practicing
personal coaches.
Many people who have entered the personal coaching field find that there
is much more to it than they had expected or were led to believe. They
enter the field unprepared, or unaware of the obstacles before them, whether
they transferred over from therapy or consulting, or whether they completed
a full curriculum at a coach training school, to include attaining a coach
certification designation. In fact, most schools promote their coach certification
programs (at additional costs to the student coach) to be the ticket to
attracting more clients upon graduation. Yet, what really happens is far
from the wonderful promises and dream expectations sold by these schools.
The success statistics of the personal coaches.
Here are some statistics that paint a different picture. It has been reported
in the book “Getting Started in Personal and Executive Coaching”
by Stephen G. Fairley and Chris E. Stout that:
1. “Seventy-three percent of all coaches make less than $10,000 in
their first year.
2. Only 60 percent of all second-year coaches have managed to find 10
paying clients.
.
3. Less than 11 percent of all coaches make more than $50,000 by their
second year in practice.
4. Even though coaches charge an average of over $160.00 per hour for
their services, 53 percent of them make less than $20,000 per year.
5. Thirty percent of all coaches are still not able to find ten paying
clients.
6. Only nine percent of coaches make more than $100,000 a year doing coaching.
The business aspect of becoming a professional
personal coach.
One of, if not the most prevalent reason for these poor results for coaches
is that they most often do not realize that they are starting a small
business, and have become business owners. They now face the same issues
and obstacles of other small business owners, one of which is the loneliness
of being a sole owner. When professional coaches recognize the business
owner roll of creating a coaching practice, they will be able to focus
on the business factors that will lead to success.
