When Do Coaches Need Coaches?
Just because you’re in the coaching industry, don’t think you would never have a need for a coach of your own. Seems like a funny thing to think about but even the best coaches could use some help streamlining their businesses or having an objective third party to talk to about personal or family matters. Heck, even psychiatrists are required to speak to other psychiatrists on a regular basis!

Business coaches can assist anyone with their businesses and often will find things to fix or change simply because they have an objective, outside viewpoint. Everything from billing inefficiencies to brainstorming product ideas, a business coach can be a non-judgmental sounding board who offers clarity and perspective.

Your Coach as Your Accountability Partner
If you have a plan in place for creating a signature program, utilizing a coach as an accountability partner is a wise investment. We all tend to work more efficiently when we know there’s a deadline looming but it’s also easy to ignore that deadline because we are the ones who set it. Rather than moving your deadline further and further away, use this accountability partner to keep your productivity on track.

Accountability is necessary in many instances, though, not just in product creation. Whatever goals you have set for yourself, your coach will hold you solely responsible for meeting those deadlines and goals.

Your Coach as Your Guide
A good business coach will have the ability to challenge your thinking and your goals in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way. Instead of staying inside our comfort zones, a coach will encourage us to explore what we fear in an effort to fight that fear and try something new. Coaches also have the skill to break down large tasks into smaller tasks that don’t seem so intimidating. They can also guide us with instructions for how to do or implement something in our business.

Your Coach as Your Mentor
​
When it comes to hiring a business coach, always hire someone you consider to be at a higher income level or level of success than you. After all, those who have already reached a level of success will have the best experience to share about how you can reach that same level. Your coach is one who will teach you the skills you need to be successful based on real life experiences.

Get Your Plan Started Ahead of Time
Before you spend good money on a coach, create a business plan with your goals and your action steps spelled out. You want to provide your coach with a starting point and chances are that would be your first assignment anyway with a new coach.

If setting up a business plan sounds daunting or you don’t know where to start, my Business Mentorship Coaching Program, is just what you need.  We’ll discuss how planning will keep you focused on your next action steps, why taking action is so vitally important if you want to reach serious goals, and how to break down your overwhelming tasks into doable action steps will improve your productivity.

How To Create An eCourse In A Day

1/14/2020

Think you don’t have time to create an eCourse? Think again. Many of the courses you’ve seen for sale—or maybe even purchased—were created in a single day. For savvy business owners, creating a new course is just a matter of putting the pieces together. If you’ve been in business for more than a few weeks, you already have everything you need to create an eCourse and have it ready for sale by this time tomorrow.

What Are Your Strengths?  Use Them
You could spend days or weeks researching new strategies, testing new ideas, and developing a completely new (to you) eCourse. Or you can embrace a tried and true development strategy that’s been proven to work: Write what you know.  When you’ve spent months or years immersed in your expertise, it’s easy to talk about. You probably do it every day. You answer emails, write blog posts, chat on the phone with clients. Not only that, but you very likely read, watch videos, and listen to podcasts about your subject matter every single day. All of these things make it easy for you to create a new course, seemingly out of thin air.

Repurpose Your Content
If you have a blog or an email list, or have created other courses, then you already have a wealth of content to draw from. Sort through past blog posts and emails for gems you can polish and repurpose. Scout your past courses for modules and elements that are a good fit for your new course. Update the information (if needed) and reformat it to match your new design, and use it to add value to your next offering.  Don’t worry that some of your content may have been seen before—even if you create an entire eCourse based on nothing but your blog content. People will happily pay for a step-by-step plan, even if they can find the information for free elsewhere. It’s the convenience of having a proven plan without having to organize it themselves that will encourage them to buy.

Fill in the Blanks with Re-brandable Content
If there are obvious holes in your content (and there may not be) you can easily fill them in with rebrandable content. You can find inexpensive, well-researched and well-written private label content on nearly every subject. Even better, you can often find a variety of formats, including video, software, slide decks and graphics. All of these can be used to create a more well-rounded, valuable course with very little effort on your part.

Go for the Low-Hanging Fruit
Let’s be clear. An eCourse you create in a single day is not likely to be an all-inclusive, multi-media filled epic offering. Instead, aim for a low-cost introductory course that will sit near the top of your funnel. You can always expand it later (repurposing yet again) into a more comprehensive training, but for now, the goal is to get it finished and get it out there.

Got Goals? 10 Steps To Achieveing Your Goals

9/21/2018

0 Comments

 
In our ultra busy World, sometimes, it's hard to stay on track or even be on time, throw a family and/or a business into the mix, your 24 hours can seem like minutes and the goals that you set for yourself, well they're probably not even a second thought anymore.  In this Blog, I'm going to share with you tips to help you manage your time and hopefully achieve your goals.  These are steps for a monthly Goal.  Let's get started.
Picture
Pick a Day and Time of the week.  This will be called your 'Goal Setting Day'  
  1. Determine what your Goal is.  What is it that you want to achieve. 
    Create a SMART Plan for your goal.  A SMART Plan is used widely in retail and other businesses.  A SMART Plan is; S=Specific, M=Measurable, A=Actionable, R=Realistic and T=Timely.
  2. List what task must be completed, for you to reach your goal.  
  3. Create a SMART Plan for each task as well.  
  4. You will tackle each task one by one.
  5. Now, you want to take each task and break it down by what you can get done each week and then break it down by what can get done each day
  6. Your SMART Plan is like your task sheet.  On your SMART Plan you will be putting the task, how you will complete the task, how long it will take you to complete the task and checking off if the task was completed or not.  
  7. Ultimately, you want to do one thing every day that will move you closer to your goal.  
  8. Calendars/Planners and alarms are a must in goal setting.  It doesn't matter what kind you use as long as you are using something, it just helps you stay On Task, On Track and On Time.  
  9. What do you do when a task for the day doesn't get completed?  Life happens, no doubt about that but what you do is you look at the next day and see if you are able to fit the unfinished task into that day’s schedule.  When this happens to me, I like to get started on the unfinished task first before I continue with that day’s task and if for some reason, that task can't be put into the next day’s schedule, find a day where it will fit.  You will do this for week for task that did not get completed in the allotted week as well.  
  10. At the end of each day, go over your SMART Plan Task Sheet and see what you've accomplished and what needs to be moved over to the next day.  Keep a Goal Journal of what worked for the day and what didn't work, what you could have done differently and what you want to keep on doing. 

I know you may think, all of this seems daunting but, it’s not.  Managing your goals makes it easier for you to reach them because the plan to achieve the goal is written out and, in your face daily.  You are checking off each thing that gets done and it's an exciting feeling when things are accomplished and don't forget to CELEBRATE every accomplishment.  

Don't stress about what didn't get done because it will get done.  Don't overdo it but don't do nothing at all either.  Pace yourself, take one day, week, month, year, decade and if you are so lucky, century at a time, LoL.   It may also be in your best interest to seek the assistance of a business coach, like me.  Having someone there to assist and guide you through your journey to your goal is Amazing but having someone there to hold you accountable is PRICELESS!

How I Can Help You
If you are like many, planning and getting organized is not your forte, you want to be productive and reach those goals that you've set for yourself but there never seems to be enough time in the day or you just don't know how or where to get started.  Well do I have the perfect solution for you.  I offer a coaching service called 
​'Goal Digger’ It’s a one-time payment, that's extremely low and once you've decided to go for it, I will help you visualize your goals, get you started on your SMART Plans and help you create a winning business strategy based around your goal.  This is what you get.

Is Your Website Compliant?

Everyone is so quick to throw up a website
and start running a business on it.

NOT SO FAST PEOPLE!!

​Is your websites Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, Cookies Policy and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) READY?  Did you know that you must have a point of contact in Europe for your customers/clients in the European market?  Did you also know that if you have customers or clients in California that there is a separate Privacy Policy for them, that must be noted in your General Privacy policy?  Do you have Data Protection/Cyber Attack Insurance for your Website?

There is so much to be aware of when you run a website these days and not only do you want to protect the public, you have to protect your business as well and having these policies in place will do just that. 

Here is another thing you may not be aware of.  For those of you that use splash pages, landing pages or lead capture pages on your website, you also need to be aware that you must make it very clear what people are signing up for and have a clear and easy way for them to opt-in and op-out of your mailings.  A double opt-in is one of the best ways to ensure that they know what they are signing up for.  Did you also know that you need to keep on file a list of your email contacts? and not just in your CRM.  

Basically, what you need to ask yourself is........Is My Website Compliant?

I can totally help you with all the above.  No, I am not a lawyer and will never claim that I was one or will ever be one.  I too had to seek legal advice on this matter that I'm sharing with you today and I highly suggest that you do the same.  

What I do know and can help you with, is sharing with you the steps I took to get all these policies written and in place quickly and easily.  Just go to my BOOK NOW Page and set-up your $10.97 Coaching Call appointments.  With that you get two 45min phone calls with me within 30-days of initial appointment.  This is not a contract that you are locked into, but you can sign up for a monthly Coaching Call Subscription if you choose to do so but anyways, on these two calls, I will go over in detail step by step on getting all your policies in place, how cool is that?

Thank You for reading my latest Blog.  Book Your Coaching Call Appointment today and let’s get your website compliant.

YES, It's Definitely OK To Post The Same Content On Different Platforms.  Let Me Tell You Why

2/16/2018

According to some marketing agencies and gurus, it's been stated that it's a bad idea to post the same content on different platforms.  The claims being made is that it's boring and nobody once to see the same message all over the internet.  I completely disagree with those claims 100% and below, I'm going to share with you why.  

I don't know about you but my 1000's of audience members are spread widely over all different media outlets across the internet and not all of them are on all the same platforms.  I have some on Facebook but not Twitter.  I have some on Twitter but not LinkedIn and again some on Instagram but not G+.  

The point I'm trying to make is that I need to share my content across all platforms and you should want to as well to ensure that your entire audience base is seeing and engaging with the messages that you share and to be sure that no one is getting left out.  It would totally suck if I shared a great piece of info to my followers on Twitter and not to my Fans on Facebook.

It's no different than someone sharing the same content on the same platform but at different times.  People do that because not all their audience members are on a platform at the same time, that makes sense to me as well.  Here is another example.  I used to really hate radio, and sometimes, I kind of still do mainly because of all the commercials but what really got me was all the same songs that were played over and over and over in a short amount of time, but I get it now that people may listen to the same radio stations but do so at different times.  It makes sense.  

And here is my answer to those that say posting the same content on multiple platforms is boring, I just say, #JustKeepScrolling.  Nobody is forcing you to stay and look at the content repeatedly on the different platforms, move on to the next.  Pretty easy to do in my opinion.  So, with that said, I'm going to continue to do what I do and share my content whether it's the same or different on all platforms across the internet.  It's working for my business and I'm sure it will work for your business too.  

Take Care All.
