Discover Your "Retirement Coachable Goals"

A “Coachable Goal” is: A future place you want to be
that requires you to grow and improve as a person to achieve it.

Your Coachable Goal is a Future Place

As you can see, your goal is a FUTURE PLACE YOU WANT TO BE. This means you have chosen to move your life to a different place than where you are today. You always focus on where you want to go, not where you are leaving.

You will become a Better Person

You will also become a BETTER PERSON in order to reach the new place of your Coachable Goal. You will uncover the mystery of YOU. You will learn what really makes you tick, what your inner motivations, passions, desires, and priorities are. You will uncover your true beliefs and values. You will also discover what you do not want to do.

Your Coachable Goal will allow you to prosper because 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 1,500 TCC clients in the past five a half years. (Click on a goal for further explanation)

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 retirement coach will ensure that you will get the most from retirement years.

Your retirement 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 retirement coach assist you?

Your retirement 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 retirement 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 retirement 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 retirement 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.

2. Discover and obtain your "Ideal Income Position"
(That you will truly enjoy and will be well compensated for.)

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 retirement 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 retirement coaching to discover and get your “Ideal Income Position”

The first stage of retirement coaching will be the Discovery Stage. During the Discovery Stage your retirement 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.

You become the “World’s Leading Expert on YOU!”

Once you and your retirement 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 Second Stage of retirement coaching to discover and get your “Ideal Income Position”

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 of retirement Coaching to Get Your “Ideal Income Position”

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 retirement 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 retirement coach will focus totally on YOU, to assist you to sort through all of your confusion and discover the true you.

Life Balance is that place where you will enjoy and prosper in all three of your lives
simultaneously, without guilt or conflicts.
(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 retirement coach will accelerate the discovery process to produce a far clearer picture of who you are, AND assist you to actually attain it.

How your Retirement Coach will assist you to attain Life balance.

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.

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.

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 life 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 life 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 life 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-You are far more qualified than you think!

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 life coach, you will discover all of the very unique talents and passions you have and mold your next income position around you.

5. Become a more productive and successful entrepreneur
(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.

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 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.

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.

How coaching will provide two benefits for the price of only one

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.

An example of how an ADD "problem" is mislabeled by non-ADD people

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.

When you Convert your ADD into the Blessing it really is, you will:

• 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.

Special intuitive qualities of ADD people become an distinct advantage.

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.

The Coach Connection has a special ADD connection.

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.

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 Keys to becoming a Very Productive Leader

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.

How your retirement Coach will assist you to become a more productive leader

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 retirement Coaching to become a more productive leader

The first stage of retirement coaching will be the Discovery Stage. During the Discovery Stage your retirement 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.

You become the “World’s Leading Expert on YOU!”

Once you and your retirement 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 Second Stage of retirement Coaching to become a more productive leader

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 of retirement Coaching to become a more productive leader

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 retirement 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."

The coaching process is organized around YOU

You and your retirement 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 retirement coach is for you to become a more productive manager, on YOUR TERMS.

Using a retirement 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 retirement 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 life (weight) coach assist you to lose weight?

How can talking to a retirement coach over the phone assist you to lose weight and keep it off, if the other more hands on methods were not successful? Your retirement 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 retirement 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.

10. Discover if becoming a life coach is right for you, then become a successful one.

Many people are drawn to the profession of life coaching. It is estimated that from 6,000 to over 10,000 people each year enter the life coaching field in one way or another. We at The Coach Connection recommend becoming a professional life coach, if doing so will place you in your ideal income position. We will be using the term life coach to encompass all forms of life related coaching, to include business, career, transition, executive, ADD, leadership, life and other such coaches. We do NOT consider life 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 life 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 life 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.

The real purpose of this unique coachable goal.

Consequently this coachable goal focuses FIRST on discovering your ideal income position without any restrictions or prearranged agenda (for example that becoming a life coach will be the end result). If you discover that becoming a life coach is your eventual ideal income position, you will be able to march right on and get it done with your coach. If you discover that your ideal income position is to become something other than a professional life coach, you will also be ahead of the game. You will once again continue on to successfully attain your chosen non-coaching ideal income position. You will not have wasted your time, money and efforts to becoming a life coach, when you were much better suited for something else.

When you "Discover if becoming a life coach is Right For You, then become a successful one," you will:

• Discover your passions, priorities, beliefs and talents to and your self imposed obstacles to become The World’s Leading Expert on You.”

•Determine your Ideal Income Position to fit your passions, priorities, spirituality, talents and self imposed obstacles.

•If you decide that your ideal income position is to become a life coach, you will be confident and focused with your selection.

• Discover the specific skills and knowledge you will need to complete your training to become a successful coach, without having to endure a lengthy, time consuming and repetitive training program.

•Enjoy the wonders of being coached, (under real life non confined conditions) so you will know what you will want your coaching clients to experience.

• Develop your skills, confidence and experience to coach others to accomplish their “Coachable Goals.”

• Actually coach others to achieve their goals with the partnership support of your coach, so you will accelerate your learning and success rate.

•Discover who your “ideal coaching clients” will be, so you will know which clients you will want to attract to achieve the greatest successes for them and you.

•Discover the truth about the differences between coaching and marketing and how to organize your marketing to suit your very special passions, priorities, talents, spirituality and self imposed obstacles. Design your marketing to work within yourself, on your terms.

Life coaches improve their coaching effectiveness and their clients successes
after having achieved their own Coachable Goals through life coaching.

One of the most important ingredients in the training process to become an effective and successful life 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 life coach, and who have achieved at least one personally chosen Coachable Goal through professional life 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 life coaching, will have the confidence and knowledge to provide the same successes to their clients.
