The most important thing to know about promoting your professional services as is experience. Not how much experience you have, but how much you let your prospects experience you as a person!

You can do this in ways that don't require advertising or selling. In fact, those two intrusive techniques will cost you clients.Gradually build awareness, interest, and understanding of YOU.

Giving Thanks for Your Gift

2005-07-14T11:41:00.000-07:00

There are times when you know -without a doubt- you have been placed on this earth for a reason. If you've ever wandered around aimlessly contemplating your purpose and not finding a satisfactory answer... chances are your 'calling' has now made itself loud and clear.You are a coach. This is your gift. You're not just thinking about it. You're not just playing at it. You're not just preparing to do it one day in the future. You ARE a coach and there are clients in desperate need of your services.The question to ask yourself is, 'Am I doing them a disservice by NOT showing up in their lives?'If you're dealing with worthiness questions, join the club. As professionals, we all have either been there or we visit there from time to time. It's normal. This means you're taking your work seriously and recognize the awesome responsibility associated with changing lives for the better.Refuse to allow yourself the luxury of thinking you're not ready for that next client who appears to be 'out of your league.' Refuse to listen to that voice in your head telling you, 'maybe someday when things are better, when I'm better prepared, when I have more experience, when the timing is right.'Rise to your challenge. Accept your gift and you will experience more personal growth than you've ever known. Embrace your destiny and your clients, as well as everyone else you touch in this life, will be better off just for having shared your space. more...

The Magic of Thinking Big

2005-07-14T07:54:00.000-07:00

As long as you are going to go about your day thinking anyway, you may as well &quot;think big&quot;. Anyone can think small, and most people do. In fact, most people keep themselves in the same place in life, doing the exact same thing, without significant growth or change because of limited or conditioned thinking.It is probably true that many of your current and future clients are living in that place right now. Who better to support them than you? The coach who is thinking big.Ideas:Don't just think about what is possible, think about what might seem nearly impossible, that would require you to grow and move beyond who you currently know yourself to be. Think about what you have always wanted to do or have in your life ... those things that your heart speaks of.&quot;If you can dream it, you can do it.&quot; ~Walt DisneyThinking big equals going big. Thinking small means staying small. You decide. You get to choose your thoughts. Try giving big thought and energy to the direction of your practice and who you are becoming as a coach.Be outrageous and let your imagination fly. This does not mean thinking unrealistic, pie-in-the-sky stuff, like being able to suddenly perform superhuman feats. It means allowing yourself to stretch and believe in the beauty of your dreams. more...

Coaching Momentum

2005-07-14T05:35:00.000-07:00

Events that take place in our lives, and the lives of our clients, are not always predictable much less controllable. Sometimes we work for weeks or months toward a goal only to have our efforts thwarted in the home stretch. Our clients experience the same challenges and, often times, this is what has brought them to us in the first place.When confronted with these situations, we find ourselves wishing for other choices. Wouldn't it be great if we were not in the predicament we find ourselves? Wouldn't it be great if such-and-such had not happened? Wouldn't it be great if we could turn back the clock?The fact is, we have none of these options.Responding With AbilityWe do have a responsibility to ourselves, our clients, and our loved ones to push forward. We must respond with ability (the components of responsibility), and in this case, the ability possessed by each of us is coaching. Where is our energy directed? Where can we do the most good? What are we focusing on?Are we looking back in anger and frustration? Are we wallowing in negativity and resignation with the Despair Triplets &quot;coulda, shoulda, and woulda?&quot; Or are we creating a vision for our future that engenders excitement and anticipation? Are we helping our clients envision the life they truly desire and deserve?Newton's First Law of Motion states, &quot;An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion.&quot; It's time to get it in gear. It's time to make things happen. Granted, it will be challenging to build momentum from a complete standstill. This, good friend, is what we signed on for when we joined the profession.It is easy -almost reassuring in a strange way- to look behind us and justify all the reasons that have us frozen in our tracks. It's a little bit tougher, yet far more rewarding, to look to the horizon and take the next step -however small- and keep moving forward! more...

What is Career Coaching?

2005-07-14T04:24:00.000-07:00

A career coach can help their clients find what they may have lost in their work, or help them find the courage to move into a new career. The whole process from seeking out new possibilities, discovering unexplored venues, right through actualization of a goal is incredibly rewarding for both the client AND the coach.And for the coach the pay can be very lucrative!As with other forms of coaching, it is indeed best to help the client discover for themselves what they already know, but may be afraid to confront. Confronting this fear and uncertainty is something that proves difficult for most people. A good career coach will help them overcome these fears and see the true potential within themselves.Career coaching is effective because it provides the insight, support, and direction necessary for these answers to come to life.Do you have what it takes to be a great career coach? Take the free quiz and find out now! more...

Absorbing New Clients

2005-07-13T23:40:00.000-07:00

One of the reasons most of us dislike marketing is that we relate it to selling and advertising. Let's face it... none of us want to be sold something, much less do the selling.The most important thing to know about marketing your professional services is experience. Not how much experience you have, but how much you let your prospects experience you as a person! People need to know you before they can trust you with their private thoughts and personal situations.Allow people to experience you before they make a buying decision. You can do this in ways that don't require advertising or selling. In fact, those two intrusive techniques will cost you clients.Gradually absorb new client by building awareness, interest, and an understanding of YOU. In other words, educate your market. Consider the following absorption techniques that enable people to get to know you:1. a free subscription to your monthly newsletter2. free participation in a teleclass you teach 3. free attendance at one of your public speaking engagements4. a free 30 minute coaching consultation or meetingThe next steps includes fee-based options:5. a copy of your audio tape or book6. attendance at your next workshop 7. group coaching or masterminding8. one-on-one coachingNotice how each step builds upon the last. You can find more details on these absorption techniques in Fill Your Coaching Practice. The idea is to give part of yourself away, but don't give it all away.

E x p a n d i n g Your Practice

2005-07-13T21:31:00.000-07:00

For many coaches, one-on-one coaching is the foundation and the cornerstone of many practices. It is also a valuable service to maintain as you grow and expand both your practice and your services. While very rewarding, one-on-one coaching is not the best way to leverage your time or your earning potential as a coach. Enter the Group Coaching possibility. Here are some of the advantages to expanding your practice with group coaching:You, the Coach, will:Reach out to more people Connect people from diverse geographical locations over the phone Give your target market more than one way in which to experience you Leverage your time and energy by working with groups Remain affordable by charging less for each participant and still increase your own hourly earnings Your clients will:Have a larger support team Access your services for less Benefit from the collective wisdom of the group Experience the dynamic and fun group energy Connect with other like-minded people Experience more people knowing and caring about their goals and dreams Managing a group requires all of the one-on-one skills you have acquired. You'll also be touching the lives of many more people and expanding your circle of influence.The Coach Training Accelerator devotes an entire section to helping you develop your group coaching skills. Here are just a few pointers:Know the group's purpose and communicate that clearly. Be selective about group members. Have a time frame that the whole group commits to working together. more...

Win/Win Economics of Group Coaching

2005-07-13T20:00:00.000-07:00

by Rhonda Hess (Guest Author) Have you thought about offering Group Coaching to your target market? If you already have this in your suite of services then you know the significant return on investment for everyone involved -- you and your clients.Less Effort for Greater ImpactYou spend less time and energy coaching more than one person at a time. Your marketing will be leveraged because group coaching is a gateway from which to enroll clients into one on one coaching and other services. Each client is coached both directly (through their own issues) and vicariously (through the topics brought by other members of the group). Often clients receive tremendous value from the other participant's input. This is made possible by designing a group to your target market that addresses their specific interests Earn More for Each Hour You CoachLet's say your current one on one coaching rate is $350 per month for three 45 minute sessions. That's approximately $155 per hour. If you provide group coaching for $250 per month for three 90 minute sessions and have a minimum of 8 people in your group, you'll be earning approximately $444 per hour!More People Experience Your CoachingFor some prospective clients, the opportunity to experience your coaching in a group setting will not only make it more affordable, but also more comfortable. Most people truly enjoy the support that comes with a group of like minded individuals.You can learn more about designing and facilitating group coaching programs in Lesson 14, &quot;Gaining Visibility and Credibility,&quot; in the Coach Training Accelerator self-study course. more...

Feeling Good About Promoting Yourself

2005-07-13T16:04:00.000-07:00

Do you have as many clients as you want? Are you &quot;landing&quot; the type of clients that are absolutely fun to work with? Okay, here is one more question... Are you promoting yourself? The reason most of us get into coaching is to coach. Few of us -if any- get into this business to promote ourselves (and wouldn't it be great if we didn't have to). The sad fact is, we do.Here's why:Unless people know about you they can't hire you. It's easy to think that others who enthusiastically market themselves are, in some way, &quot;fly-by-night hucksters.&quot; In some cases this may even be true. The fact is, if you don't promote yourself your potential clients may end up hiring those less qualified individuals instead of you. You've given them no choice because you haven't promoted yourself to them as an option.If you think about it you have an obligation to promote yourself so that the clients that really need to work with you have a way to reach you (and not someone else). The good news is this doesn't have to be an obnoxious task.Here's how:The professionals that are successful at selling their coaching services aren't really selling at all. They are promoting themselves in subtle, yet convincing ways. They are allowing their prospects to get to know them. They are building rapport and trust. In a nutshell, they are just being themselves. If you put yourself in situations where you allow people to experience you, you will have your pick of clients. And they'll be the best clients for you! Feel good about promoting yourself by recognizing that marketing your professional services is nothing more than relationship building. And chances are, if you're a coach, you're already fantastic at this.There is a multimedia course exclusively dedicated to this topic. Fill Your Coaching Practice is a self-paced, self-study program of personal marketing tips, strategies and secrets that are comfortable, effective, and non-intrusive. Just one good idea makes this program worth a look.Mainstream sales and advertising has given the marketing of professional services a bad rap. When self-promotion is done right, it's fun and rewarding, PLUS you can feel good about it. Go out and be yourself with as many people as possible. The ones who are attracted to you will work the hardest for themselves. They will also be the most fun for you to have as clients. more...

Uncovering Opportunities in Executive Coaching

2005-07-13T13:26:00.000-07:00

by A. Drayton Boylston (Guest Author) Does it all seem so hidden and mysterious? You hear of executive coaches making excellent money, engaged with great companies, doing substantial work. It may even seem like they're in an exclusive club that you're not allowed to join. Establishing and growing a successful Executive Coaching practice can appear daunting (or even out of reach), but it doesnt have to. Lets see if we can uncover a couple of secrets that will lead to great opportunities for you, right now! 1. Define. Understanding the true definition of Executive Coach can help you to hone in on ways to differentiate yourself from the pack. The sad fact is there are not many people who call themselves Executive Coaches that really are. Executive Coaching is working with business leaders on issues related to their performance and leadership in the business world. Yes, the work can address many whole life related issues as it affects their business performance, but the real focus is on values based (my bias here) business success. In the purest sense, Executive Coaching focuses on profits through people. Does this define what you do?2. Refine. Once you determine that you are really committed to focusing on the Executive Coaching space, drill down further to a defined niche. The key here is to design a practice focused on your interests and skills. Figure out what really thrills you and have that determine what specific area to focus on. If a niche does not exist in an area that you really love, fill that need! Design and implement a personal leadership plan that defines a niche that you can call your own. Be bold. After all, isnt that what you inspire others to do?The key starting point to this journey is to know yourself extremely well BEFORE you package yourself for the marketplace. Play to your interests, your experience, and your passion. Uncover the opportunity and success will follow more...

What is Business Coaching?

2005-07-13T10:32:00.000-07:00

Business coaches are people developers. They dont tell their clients what to do; they ask questions. Their message is, Youre smart. Ill be a mirror to help you look inside yourself, so you can not only solve this problem, but increase your capacity to successfully manage all areas of your life. Unlike business consultants who traditionally take the approach of &quot;this is what's wrong with your business and I will fix it for you&quot;, a business coach will help the client see where their strengths lie and will help them come up with sonlutions to areas themselves. Coaches teach, they help develop skills to bring about positive change through mentoring. They help the client realize potential, as well as recognize proclivity, then help them overcome these issues.Do you have what it takes to be a Business Coach?Take the FREE coaching quiz and find out RIGHT NOW! more...

2005-07-13T06:35:00.000-07:00

Personal Coaching might best be described as personalized motivational seminars or self help books brought to life! You become the guide, the inspiration that helps your clients make the most of their gifts and talents.For years professional politicians, actors, and sports personalities have all used personal coaches to achieve their goals. These figures are often &quot;the best of breed&quot; within their fields and would not consider going it alone. They recognize the powerful allies they have in their coaches. Now many of us are recognizing the value of this unique relationship and are adapting it to a personal level, acessible to all.Do you have what it takes to be a Personal Coach?

What are you waiting for? Take action now!

2005-07-12T08:52:00.000-07:00

Life Coaching is all about identifying what you want out of life and then taking action to get there!A few key song lyrics in the charts struck me recently, as they seemed to highlight a fairly common human activity: procrastination! How many times (and I am as guilty as anyone) have you intended to do something but you just "haven't got around to it", or you noticed that weeks have gone by and you still haven't taken that first step to achieve the thing you want to?Life Coaching can help you identify the roadblocks, build on what motivates you to take action, set out clear goals and action plans, but most importantly, Life Coaching can help you to "just do it"!

If you are interested in finding out more or you would like to book a free 45 minute trial session, please contact me: lifecoach@KatiTyler.com

Here are a few comments from past clients:-

"Kati helped me to focus on my goals and to take action.. I very much enjoyed being coached by Kati and was delighted with my results.."

Debbie, Castle Donnington

"The first session was quite amazing and I received results instantly and felt so much more in charge of my destiny!"

Claire, Devon

"Although the sessions numbered 8 in total, the effects of Kati's life coaching will reach far and beyond those 8 sessions. I am now building on the foundations that Kati helped me to set and am looking forward to achieving many goals during 2005"

D Taviner, Somerset

Did you know that tomorrow, January 24th, is apparently the most depressing day of the year?One of the newspapers last week ran an article explaining that the combination of the weather, post-Christmas debt, fading memories of enjoying the Christmas break, and failure at keeping those New Year resolutions leads to generally feeling low and fed-up. General motivation can plummet, but you are torn by a desperate feeling that you should be taking action...Recognise any of this?If you are interested in taking control and making 2005 different, contact me now to find out how Life Coaching can support you in making significant and lasting changes in your life, rather than relying on those short-term resolutions..Contact lifecoach@KatiTyler.com for further information.

Are you living your life to its fullest potential? Would you like to be the best you can be?

2005-07-12T00:24:00.000-07:00

Are you unhappy with some aspect of your life and want to make a change, but feel overwhelmed by the challenge?Are you always meaning to do things but struggle to take action?If so, Life Coaching could help…I discovered Life Coaching just over a year ago and it made an enormous impact on me. So much so that I completed the Certificate in Life Coaching from Newcastle College and have also recently been awarded the next level qualification: the Diploma in Life Coaching. The Diploma involved extensive practical coaching and to date I have carried out over 70 hours of individual practical coaching with a diverse range of clients.Continuing on from my Diploma studies, I am offering Life Coaching (by telephone) at a fraction of the standard hourly rate. Coaching can cost anything from £40 to £90 per session. My current fees are £25 per session (to achieve maximum benefit, clients usually continue for a minimum of 4 sessions).

As your Coach I will work with you objectively and with an open mind, providing clarity and focus, so that you are able to make effective decisions and facilitate change in your chosen areas, for example, career, home life, time management, work/life balance or personal development.
For a small investment that is less than you would pay for a designer outfit or a weekend break, you will be making lasting and effective changes to your life enabling you to reach your fullest potential and realise your dreams!For more information, please e-mail me: kati@KatiTyler.com

You Must Be Present To Win

2005-07-10T03:12:00.000-07:00

The Benefits of &quot;Mindfulness&quot;

How often are we really present to our lives? We spend a great deal of
time and energy thinking about past problems and future concerns while
the present is passing us by. We end up missing most of out lives.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery.&nbsp;
Today is a gift. That's why it's called the present!!&nbsp;
- UnknownMark Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in my life,&nbsp; some of which actually happened.” These words hold great wisdom; the wisdom of knowing that there is no sense worrying about the past or fearing the future. Your past will not change, and your future concerns may never come.&nbsp;

Remember the here and now is a gift, which is why they call it the&nbsp; ‘present’. Treat it like a present, enjoy it to the fullest and make the most of it.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Practicing mindfulness relaxes thinking processes that are not essential in the present moment. When practiced regularly, mindfulness will provide many benefits including:

* new perspectives* less judging* increased empathy and self-acceptance* alertness to new options* a sense of freedom* increased creativity* reduction in anxiety and insomnia

The following is a Gestalt awareness exercise that makes use of mindfulness practices, reduces stressful thinking and increases awareness:

Mindfulness ExperimentWhile sitting as still and relaxed as is comfortable for you, repeat this phrase aloud at a continuous and moderate pace:

&quot;Now I am aware of ____.&quot;

Finish the phrase spontaneously; then continue to repeat the phrase, saying the first thing that comes to mind.&nbsp;

Do this for 5 to 30 minutes, at least once a day. After a while, try noticing without speaking. more...

I don't know about you but I can relate to the idea about how we're becoming more distracted and less productive. I thought all this technology was going to make it easier for us to be more efficient with less effort.

Check out this interview with Dr. Edward Hallowell,
a psychiatrist who's studied attention deficit disorder for more than a
decade, has identified a related disorder he calls attention deficit

Change or Die

2005-07-09T11:45:00.000-07:00

Here's a thought provoking article from Fast Company magazine about change. Let me know what you think of it.

What if you were given that choice? For real. What if it weren't just
the hyperbolic rhetoric that conflates corporate performance with life
and death? Not the overblown exhortations of a rabid boss, or a slick
motivational speaker, or a self-dramatizing CEO. We're talking actual
life or death now. Your own life or death. What if a well-informed,
trusted authority figure said you had to make difficult and enduring
changes in the way you think and act? If you didn't, your time would
end soon -- a lot sooner than it had to. Could you change when change
really mattered? When it mattered most?

It All Starts With Vision

2005-07-09T10:15:00.000-07:00

Many people make shortsighted decisions in life that lead them down side paths and into dead ends.&nbsp; They don't determine beforehand where it is that they really want to be.&nbsp; It's like starting on a journey without a roadmap, directions, or a clear idea of a destination.&nbsp; For an afternoon's adventure, this can be entertaining, but if it's your approach to life, you end up going nowhere, discontent and regretful.

A far more energizing plan to reach life satisfaction is to begin with a vision, &quot;a mental picture of a future outcome, which inspires definite and sustained action toward its realization.&quot;&nbsp; All accomplishment and productivity start with a mental image that inspires and motivates us.&nbsp; It gives us something to aim for, something to live for.&nbsp; It stirs the sense of wonder and creativity that we knew as children.&nbsp;

In addition to being a focal point and an impetus to action, a vision can also be a dynamic planning tool.&nbsp; Once you know exactly what you want to create in life, you can begin to do &quot;back-engineering.&quot;&nbsp; If engineers saw a finished product that they wanted to replicate, they would break it down into its component parts to see how it was made and figure out the steps to reproduce it.&nbsp; This is exactly what you can do with your vision.

Once my clients are clear abut their visions, we co-create the strategies that close the gaps between where they are now and where they want to be.&nbsp; The vision supports right action and allows us to mentally reconstruct the steps you'd need to take to create it.&nbsp; At key points where you have to make decisions, you're far more likely to recognize the path that will lead to your goal.

In working with clients over the past thirteen years, I've found that by helping them clarify their vision and core values, they find the unique expression of their best selves.&nbsp; This leads to the confidence and inspiration they need to take action.&nbsp; And what's truly exciting about this process is that its effects are farther reaching than the client may have ever imagined.&nbsp; It changes not only their lives, but the lives of family, friends, and colleagues. It opens the possibility for a passionate connection to their life's purpose and it enhances all their relationships. more...

All About Emotional Intelligence from Six Seconds - Forgive for Good - Interview with Author Fred Luskin

2005-07-09T07:53:00.000-07:00

I see forgiveness primarily as preventative and secondarily as something to work out. It is very secondary that you forgive one specific event. What you want to develop is the capacity to forgive when things don’t work the way you want them to. And to really keep your heart open as much as possible, even when things are not going the way you want. If your airplane is late, can you forgive that and still enjoy the time you are waiting in the airport? Or forgive that there is traffic on the freeway, or that your friend is late? That is the quality I try to develop the ability to forgive the things that can turn us off to life because they aren’t what we want. Kate: What are three steps people can take to become more forgiving people? Dr. Luskin: 1. Begin by forgiving the small things. Work on forgiving traffic, long lines, late planes, the things that don’t really matter. 2. Forgive those you love. We erect roadblocks, called grievance stories, which stop us from loving. The most important people to forgive are those closest to us.

3. Always practice first. You may not be ready to forgive someone today, but if you were, what would it sound like? Practice saying it to yourself, say, when you are alone in the car. That why when you are ready to forgive, it is available to you.

FOCUS ON YOUR JOY

2005-07-09T03:37:00.000-07:00

All too often we spend a lot of our resources on improving our
weaknesses through therapy, self help books, workshops, and seminars
and completely overlook our brilliance, gifts and strengths.&nbsp; Those
qualities that make us most who we are are left in the closet while we
go out striving to improve our so-called weakness so that we feel more
presentable.&nbsp; We fail to realize that we are all gifted with natural
strengths, and talents.&nbsp; What if we were to put the same energy that we
have used to strive, improve, or push ourselves to enjoying our natural
talents and gifts?

&nbsp; &nbsp; Most of the research conducted by psychologists over the years
has focused on what makes people sad or anxious. That is why
psychological journals over the last 30 years have published 45,000
articles on depression but only 400 on joy.&nbsp; Of course, joy is not
covered by insurance.

&nbsp; &nbsp; We're working too hard to be healthy, says Paul Pearsall,
author of The Pleasure Principle and The Heart’s Code. He says we’re
suffering from too much undeserved guilt and taking the fun out of
life.&nbsp; &nbsp;He states that when we aren’t getting delight in our life, our
body starves for spiritual nutrients.&nbsp; He asks his patients to ask
themselves this question each morning and evening, “Has today been a
delight for me and everyone around me?”

&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Since identifying and expressing our values leads to a more
joy-filled life, it would benefit you to list your core values, those
qualities that you are most attracted to;&nbsp; for example: spirituality,
creativity, adventure, beauty, or connection. (For a free Value
Identification Program e-mail me)
Some people whom I’ve assisted through this process have noticed that
they just needed to change some small aspect of their work or home life
to put it in line with their values.&nbsp; The result is more joy.

&nbsp; &nbsp; Some other tips to help keep the focus on joy are: Hang out with
others who seem joyful.&nbsp; Make a list of 100 big and small things that
bring you joy. It could be appreciating beauty or connecting with
nature. Identify those activities are that you enjoy and do one at
least once everyday.

&nbsp; &nbsp; I’ll close with a lyric from Kathy Matea, “Work like you don’t
need the money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one
is watching.” more...

Coaching Momentum

2005-06-24T19:05:00.000-07:00

Events that take place in our lives, and the lives of our clients, are not always predictable much less controllable. Sometimes we work for weeks or months toward a goal only to have our efforts thwarted in the home stretch. Our clients experience the same challenges and, often times, this is what has brought them to us in the first place.

When confronted with these situations, we find ourselves wishing for other choices. Wouldn't it be great if we were not in the predicament we find ourselves? Wouldn't it be great if such-and-such had not happened? Wouldn't it be great if we could turn back the clock?

The fact is, we have none of these options.

Responding With Ability

We do have a responsibility to ourselves, our clients, and our loved ones to push forward. We must respond with ability (the components of responsibility), and in this case, the ability possessed by each of us is coaching. Where is our energy directed? Where can we do the most good? What are we focusing on?

Are we looking back in anger and frustration? Are we wallowing in negativity and resignation with the Despair Triplets "coulda, shoulda, and woulda?" Or are we creating a vision for our future that engenders excitement and anticipation? Are we helping our clients envision the life they truly desire and deserve?

Newton's First Law of Motion states, "An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion." It's time to get it in gear. It's time to make things happen. Granted, it will be challenging to build momentum from a complete standstill. This, good friend, is what we signed on for when we joined the profession.

It is easy -almost reassuring in a strange way- to look behind us and justify all the reasons that have us frozen in our tracks. It's a little bit tougher, yet far more rewarding, to look to the horizon and take the next step -however small- and keep moving forward!

What is Leadership Coaching?

2005-06-24T19:03:00.000-07:00

Leadership coaching is a highly specialized field of coaching.

This is indicative of the many different styles of leadership philosophies that
vary from Ghandi-ish to Patton-esque types of leadership.

Developing the proper skills to attune yourself to each clients
needs is paramount to success in the field. This is where the coaches ability to
recognize the personalities of each client really make a huge impact. Expanding
the client strengths as a natural leader and coaching them to achieve full
potential is key.

Since everybody in a management position views themselves as a
leader, the market for such skills is tremendous. Anybody with subordinates can
increase the productivity of their team by applying techniques you as a
leadership coach will help them develop. Increased productivity will benefit
their position greatly, if you have the right skills to bring out the best in
those you coach.

Today, I received an email from a newsletter that I subscribe to. It had an amazing quote that I had to post it hear.

"Our resentment keeps us bound to the very "people" and the "very circumstances" we dislike. As long as we carry that seed of resentment in our hearts we will have to create some kind of pain, drama or discontent in our lives in order to keep our blame alive." - Debbie Ford

How to Overcome the 7 Roadblocks That Keep You from Living Your Dreams

2005-05-23T18:21:00.000-07:00

Who else wants to learn how to take back their life and start living their life to the fullest-In this life time?

Two months ago I lost a cousin. He was driving in a rain storm and while going into a turn he started hydroplaning and he over corrected and landed in a ditch and was killed instantly. The saddest part of this story is that he was just 21 years old. He was a neat kid and had everything going for him.

Why I am telling you this story?

Because he will never have a chance to live his dreams, yet many people continue to live as though they are going to live a long time, and put off living their dreams until everything in their life is perfect.

What are you waiting for?

In my last post, I mentioned a quote from Mike Litman #1 Best Selling Author "Conversations with Millionaires" it went, "You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going."

Are you someone who has kept putting your dreams on hold?

There is no better time than NOW, to start getting things going! Sure, you will need to make some adjustments along the way, but hey, we all need adjustments from time to time. The best thing you can do is to just get things going, and make adjustments along the way.

So what is stopping you?

No time.
No desire.
No money.
Don't know where to start.
No this.
No that...

Listen. I was just like you at one time. I did not know where to start either. I bought every self-help book, listen to every tape and cd I could get my hands on. Do you know what changed my life more than any book or cd? I started doing something. I put the books down and I started taking action.

Nothing takes place of persistent action. I was tired of where my life was going, so I started doing something about it.

Join me in my next teleseminar as I go over "How to Overcome the 7 Roadblocks That Keep You from Living Your Dreams" that will be held on Wednesday, May25t at 5:30 PST.

Here are just some of the things you will receive.

* Know exactly where to start to accomplish any goal, dream, desire you have - No more guessing.
* What one "fun" thing you can do everyday that will propel you to living your dreams.
* Learn how to find out exactly what you want.
* Discover ways you can get all the help you will ever need.
* Find out ways to open the floodgates to prosperity.

You Don't Have to Get it Right

2005-05-11T20:54:00.000-07:00

Have you ever wanted to start working on a particular dream or goal, and you just have not been able to get things rolling. Are you waiting for things to be "just right" for you to take that leap?

In the words of Mike Litman #1 Best Selling Author, "You don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going!"

That saying resonated with me so well.

I was guilty at times when working on a new projects. I would go over everything, and made sure every "t" is crossed and every "i" is dotted. Before I knew it, days have passed, and I am still checking to make sure everything was "right" and "perfect" before I would start.

Not anymore! I have adopted that saying and I hope you will too. It has been a life changer for me, because I use to wait for everything to be perfect, and I mean perfect.

So, do you have a goal or dream that you have been putting off 'till the time was right. There is no better time than NOW. Right Now you have the power to choose what you are going to do. Sit on the sidelines, or are you going to get in the game?

Remember, you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going?

What Are You Focusing On?

2005-04-26T20:21:00.000-07:00

This past week I took a motorcycle safety course. One of the topics the instructors talked about was "target fixation".

Target fixation is basically that which you focus on is where you are going to go. For example, if someone is riding a motorcycle and they are going into a curve and they see a tree, if they continue to focus on that tree that is exactly where they are going to go. In this course you are taught to look ahead to where you want to go. I believe this is also what they teach professional race car drivers to do.

I thought it was very interesting to hear them talk about this because doesn't this also apply to our life.

If you continue to focus on all the bad things that are happening to you, and all the breaks every one else is getting but you, you will continue to find yourself in disappointing situations. Instead, be grateful for what you do have. Say it out loud what you are grateful for, say it to yourself when you are on a walk and taking in the clean air, or the beautiful flowers that are starting to come up. Once you do this, you will begin to have more things to be grateful for.

One thing that I have started to do about six months ago is, before I even get out of bed I start saying to myself all the things I am grateful for. I start by saying how grateful I am for my beautiful wife, and for all things she does for me, and for her belief in me. Then I go to my house and everything else I can think about.

It has made such a huge difference in my life. Try it for twenty one days straight. Before you even get out of bed start saying all the things you are grateful for. You will find you really do have a lot to be grateful for. And not only that, by focusing on the good things you will be in the right "vibe" to attract even more wonderful things in your life.

Wake Up Call

2005-04-10T19:18:00.000-07:00

I have had three profound wake up calls in my life. There were really more than three, however, there are three that really stand out.

Now these were not near death experiences that lead me to appreciate my life, and to tell everyone that I love that I love them. No, these were wake up calls that were telling me that my life was more than a 9-to-5 job, more than asking the boss if he/she would be so kind as to accept my vacation request, and earning vacation time at a going rate of 3.3 hrs a month.

Have you had any of these kinds of wake up calls?

I hope so, because you really deserve to live your life as you would really want it to be. Let me be a friend and tell you that, in the words of Napolean Hill, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can acheive".

Everything you see was first a thought. The computer I am typing on was someone's thoughts before it was a physical thing. Everything you see was first a thought in someone's mind.

What would you like to be, have, or do? What ever it may be there is someone who has been there, and would likely be willing to help you.

Very recently I called someone who I had never spoke to before, or have ever met. Right now I am working on my new business and I needed some help. I had purchased a product from this person and I wanted to see if this person would be willing to help me out with a situation I had come across. Now the questions I wanted to ask him had nothing to do with the product I purchased from him, rather they were questions that I knew he had been there and done that and I wanted to see if he would help me out.

Well, here is what I did, and you can do this for whatever situation you come up against that you would like some help with. Most people are more than willing to help other people out, especially if it is something they are passionate about it.

Here is what I did. I called the person on the phone. Now cold calling someone is not may "favorite" thing to do, however, I am willing to do it, and I am also a customer of his, so I had an "in" so to speak.

Here is how the conversation went.

Hello Chris (not his real name), my name is Anthony Treas and I am a customer of yours. I purchased ( ******) a month ago, and I would like to ask you a few questions, is right now a good time? Sure, I have a few minutes what can I help you with, he said. I am looking to start a company that incorporates my two passions and from working with your program I thought you would be the right person to talk to. I would like to know how I can ( ****), and (****).

**

Now you can use the above calling script to call up anyone to ask for help. I made that one up myself, actually, it was something that just came to me while I was dialing his number. I have called up people that I read their newsletter, purchased products from, or people who I have read articles about.

Make the script your own and add in what you would like and change it some. I know if you were to call me and ask for help on something I knew about I would be more than willing to help you.

Having picked up the phone and made that call I learned so much. I blew passed the situation and it built up my confidence to do it again.

Can you see yourself doing this. Sure you can. If you have a strong enough desire for what ever it is that you want to be, do, or have, you will do it whatever it takes.

Choose today to do whatever it takes and nothing less.

Live Your Dreams

2005-04-04T20:24:00.000-07:00

This pass weekend I had some friends over. I have a new home and some of my friends were seeing it for the first time. As I was taking them through my new house, we came to my office.

In my office I have a white board that I write my goals, ideas that come to me out of the blue, and sometimes I put up qoutes.

As my friends were reading my goals, I really did not mind, they saw that I put up "Become a Life Coach".

Hmmm, become a life coach.

Yeah, that is what I would like to start doing, I said. I think that is awesome, a friend told me.

I really love helping people to live their dreams, to get pass a hard time, or to stay focus on their dreams and goals until they become a reality.

I believe we are here to live life to the fullest, and each person will have their own meaning of what "living life to the fullest is".

When it come to me, living life to the fullest is living my purpose with passion! When someone knows deep in their heart what they know they were meant to do, there is an amazing enthusiasm that comes over a person when they are living their purpose. And that is truely an amazing thing! I live it, and I have been in the presence of some amazing passionate people, because they are living their purpose.

I sometimes have friends tell me that I should become a motivational speaker, because when I get talking about something that I am passionate about, my energy is at its fullest, and I get other people excited about what I talking about.

I once had a friend say, "Anthony, you can sell me this pen for a hundred dollars!" After I had been talking about a company I co-founded back in Nov. 04' I was just excited about how we are helping people stay focused on the goals, and how I have been working with some of the finest people in personal development, and having access to their products and information.

What do you get excited about? What would you do for free, just because you love doing it so much?

Dream! And when you dream, dream BIG!

Be Open To Discovering

2005-03-26T19:39:00.000-08:00

When I was in junior high, I had a science teacher that taught me that"if you do not learn something new everyday, you wasted that day".

Since I remembered that quote from my science teacher, I guess it would be safe to say that I took that quote to heart.

However, I would go a bit further and say that "if you are not "open" to learning something new everyday, you have wasted that day".

Let me explain.

Einstein once said, "You can never solve a problem using the same level of thinking that created it".

In order to solve a problem you need to be "open" to learning, or what I like to call "discovering" something new.

If you continue to get the same results in your life no matter what you do, or if you continue to find yourself in the same situations over and over again, then you may be someone who has decided to not be open to learning something new that could help you to get where you want to be in life.

You may say, well, I am someone who is open to learning something new that could help me get the results I want in my life. If that is the case, then you may have some contradictory in beliefs and thoughts going on. One day you may "believe" you can be rich, however, when it's coming closer to paying the bills, thoughts of lack start creeping in.

Do you see how there are contradictory in beliefs and thoughts. If you have contradictory beliefs and thoughts, you will cease to create the kind of life you desire.

Take time this week to see if you have contradictory beliefs and thoughts about what you desire.

Remember, be open and willing to discover something new that can help you to create the kind of life you desire to live.

Forgiveness Is For You

2005-03-20T14:37:00.000-08:00

Today, I received an email from a newsletter that I subscribe to. It had an amazing quote that I had to post it hear.

"Our resentment keeps us bound to the very "people" and the "very circumstances" we dislike. As long as we carry that seed of resentment in our hearts we will have to create some kind of pain, drama or discontent in our lives in order to keep our blame alive." - Debbie Ford

Wow. When I read that I was reminded of when I was a child growing up who had a lot of hurt inside that was caused by my alcholic father. Now, I wont go into any details about how my father was back then, because that is not important, but what happened for me was I had realized that forgiveness was not for him it was for me.

As long as I continued to hold the hurt and pain he had caused in my life, I allowed him to control my life. But what I realized that the forgiveness that I thought that I need to give to him was really for me.

You see, if I held the pain and hurt to continue in my life, I would continue to see circumstances, and have people in my life who would cause more pain in my life, or me cause pain in other peoples lives becuase of the pain that was still in me.

I hope that makes sense. Once I understood that forgiveness was for me, I came to forgive my dad for what he had done, or not done.

Since I had forgiven my dad, we have been able to establish a relationship that is the best relationship a son and father could ever have. My father is a recovering alcholic, and has not had a drink in over 14 years.

However, if my father would have continue to drink, I would have still forgiven him, and I would have moved on, kept in touch, and let him know that I love him and that I was there for him, however I would let him deal with his sickness. There would be nothing that I could do for him.

However, there is nothing I love more, while visiting with my dad, than being out fishing with a couple of cold Pepsi's (my dad's favorite) on our sides, and listening to some real Motown oldies in the background, and me asking my dad questions about life.

Living Your Passions

2005-03-14T21:32:00.000-08:00

Do you know what your passions are? How would you like to make a living doing what you love and are very passionate about?

Right now I am in the process of creating a new company. I am creating my own "profession", and as fas as I know, no one else is doing this. Maybe I am the only one passionate about it. Well, I do know of others who are passionate about what I am doing, however, I am adding a little twist to it. I am combining two things that I am very passionate about and love to do.

I am in the process of incorporating my company, writing a business plan, creating a website, and everything else that comes with starting a business. This is not the first time doing all this.

I currently do a lot of things that I love. I am one of the Co-Founders of Listcrusade.com , where I have been able to see the works of some of the best in personal development, and being personally tranformed by some of them. I also do some work for a Residential Home Builder, while working on my real estate portfolio.

Although I love doing the things I mentioned above, especially with Listcrusade, however, they are not what I am "passionate" about. Well, I take that back. I am passionate about what we do at Listcrusade.com, helping people everyday in some way, whether it's helping them grow their Internet Business, building their email marketing list, personally, or beginning to think about their dreams again.

I can tell you right now that part of what I love to do is to help people live their dreams. What would you like to do? What are your passions? What is your dream "profession"?

What ever it may be, believe that it can be accomplished. Ask yourself, "How can this be done?" and start getting things going, no matter how small it is. Just get started.

A Dream Come True

2005-03-12T22:46:00.000-08:00

Today, a dream came true for me.

I purchase a 2005 FZR600 Yamaha Motorcycle. I have wanted a motorcycle for quite some time now.

I placed pictures of this motorcycle on my wall, actually, the pictures are on what I call my "dream board". I have pictures of everything I would like to have, and of places I would like to visit.

The motorcycle that I purchased was not actually the one I wanted, however, the motorcycle that I wanted is actually a racing bike. So, since it has been awhile since I have been riding I decided to get a different bike, and hopefully move up to the motorcycle that I really like.

I think the real reason why I wanted the racing bike is because it is a beautiful bike. My favorite color is blue, and the Yamaha Team Blue is an awesome color.

So, even though the motorcycle I purchased is not my "dream" bike, I do believe that sometimes we need to start some where to get us to where we want to be, or have.

Maybe you want to start a business to replace your current income. You may just start out with earning enough profits to pay some bills, and then eventually surpass your income, and have your business as a full-time deal.

Remember to focus on that which you want.

What Would You Like?

2005-03-08T19:30:00.000-08:00

Do you know what you would like to have in your life?

If you can say without any hesitation exactly what you would like to have, be, or do in your life, then you are a lot closer to having your desire, then someone who doesn't.

However, if you can't say exactly what you would like to have, be, or do, you will need to take some time and write out, in detail, what you would like.

If you have no idea what you would like in your life right now, then start with what you "don't" want in your life. Now only do this right now to get you thinking to what you would like to have.
The reason you only want to do this a few times is because you don't want to get into the habit of thinking of things you "dont" want. What you focus on will become your reality.

After you have done this, then reverse the statements you made. For example. If you stated, "I don't want to live where I am currently living". Change it to,"I live in a area that is nice, safe, and a fun place to be."

You will want to be more detailed when writing your desire. The more detail you can be the better. The reason for this is that the more detail you can be the more excited you will become about your desire. Remember this: Thoughts with "emotion" causes you to activate a mighty forces to bring about your desire to a physical form faster then thoughts without any emotions. I will go into this in a later post.

Also, writing down your desires should not be a chore. If you are not enjoying it, don't do it! You will just be repelling your desire, and then you may wonder if this Law of Attraction really works.

Make it exciting, and enjoy the process.

Just A Thought

2005-03-06T20:27:00.000-08:00

I once took a counseling class that opened my eyes to something very profound. We were required to write down all of our beliefs. Every belief we had. Then we were to write down why we believed in that belief. What happened?, where were you?, how did it come about?

This exercise really helped me understand not only myself, but also where my beliefs came from. You should try this exercise sometime.

Now this exercise was not to get us to change our beliefs, but to know that I did "choose" to believe in these beliefs that I had. When people are counseling other people, it important not to judge them, or try to get the person to believe the way the counselor does, but to help the person figure out why they believe in what that believe, and then help the person to find the solution to their problem themselves.

Now it is important to know your own beliefs. The reason it is important to know your beliefs is because what ever you believe in will become your reality. If you believe it is hard to make money, then you will find yourself with no money and hard to get it.

It is like buying a new car. Before you purchased your new car you never saw it on the road, but then after you bought your new car you saw one everywhere you went. What you focus on, you attract, what you believe you focus on and receive in your life, the Law of Attraction is at work all the time.

If someone "believes" that all the opportunities have passed them by, they will continue to see opportunities pass them by, and never see the opportunities that are in front of them. Read the book "Acres of Diamonds", and you will see what I mean.

Take some time to write down your beliefs. Write down when you first started believing in that belief, and then ask yourself if that belief is helping you move forward to your goals, or hindering you in reaching your goals.

What Was I Thinking

2005-03-04T17:28:00.000-08:00

I like to think the law of attraction is like having a good attitude, or a bad one. You will get more of what you desire with a good attitude then with a negative one.

Working with a postive attitude can get things done faster, quicker, and with much more joy in the process.

The law of attraction states that like attracts like. If someone is continuing to have negative thoughts, they will continue to experience negative situation usless they begin to think about what they would like to have instead.

Think about it. If someone is complaining and being negative, take a guess at what is running through their mind. It sure is not on what they desire. They are focusing and what they don't want, and thinking and focusing on what they don't want will continue to keep them in their current negative situation.

Now for me, I had a serious problem when it came to focusing on the negative things that were going on in my life. I seriously hated my job, I was frustrated that I was not pursuing my dreams, while waking up early in the morning working towards someone else's.

So, I did something about it. I started to focus on the good things in my life. Things like, I am healthy, I have a beautiful wife, I have a truck that runs great, I have money, and I have a nice home, and a great business.

This exercise really helped me to notice that I do have a lot of great things in my life, and I also began to see things that I did want to come into my life, like more financial prosperity.

Begin today to only focus on those things that you do want. Think on things that will inspire and uplift you, rather than focusing only on that what takes useful energy away from you.

The Keys To Your Success & Happiness

2005-03-02T20:22:00.000-08:00

Come here...come over here...check this out, I said to my friend who was fishing near by. I had a nice trout on my line and I wanted him to see it before it got away.

Before this fishing trip my friend had never caught a fish in the deschutes river, the river we were fishing in, before. My wife and I went fishing at this same place and I had caught a nice size trout the last time, so I knew what to use this time of year.

I told him exactly what I was using and how I was tossing my line up stream. He saw me do it a couple of times and off he went to try it himself. He kept getting bites, but no luck. So I showed him again, and off he went off again.

Eventually he got the hang of it, and was just having fun getting the bites he was receiving. He eventually caught a nice size trout, I forget how big it was, but by the look of his eyes, I would have to say it was a nice size fish.

Now, my friend has gone fishing many times before in his life, and he has fished many times in this river. Although, he has never caught anything from this particular river, he does know how to fish.

He could have continued doing what he was doing, and getting no where, or he could have listened to me, which he did, and was now on his way to catching some fish. Now, maybe some day he will teach his new son that he has coming soon.

The other side of this situation is that he did not have to take my advice. He could have continued to fish what he thought was correct and continue to receive the results he was receiving, which was getting him no fish.

You see, I did not teach him anything. He saw that I was catching fish and that he wanted to catch some too. However, he "discovered" that I knew what I was doing and "decided to change his ways" for something that worked.

Have you ever made some changes after "discovering" some thing was working better than the way you were doing it?

The key to success & happiness is "discovering" that nothing happens to "YOU". You create and attract everything that happens in your life, the good and the bad!

You can agree, or not agree with this statement. However, the fact remains, that you can either be open to what I am saying, or you can continue to do what you are currently doing "hoping" to get a better result.

Next I will go into the Law of Attraction. However, for now, please be open and willing to "discover" something that will change you life once you understand it.

It's Time To Discover Who You Really Are

2005-03-01T20:21:00.000-08:00

Do you desire to have a life of success and happiness? If you are not happy with the way things are going on in your life, it may be safe to say that your current way of doing, thinking, and looking at life is not helping you to have the life you desire.

There is a saying by Galileo that goes like this,
"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him discover it in himself."

And that is my goal here, to help you to discover who you truely are, and for you to understand that you have everything you need to create the kind of life you desire to live. I will try to guide, and help you to begin to look at things differently, and hopefully help you to "discover" the amazing power you have within you that can and will radically change your life.

Abundant Living

2005-02-28T17:42:00.000-08:00

Have you ever felt that there was more to life than having a 9-5 job, living from paycheck-to-paycheck, having a job that you have no passion, or desire for, and hating every Sunday that comes by knowing the next day you have a job to go to that you would rather not waste another day of your life on.

I felt that way too for many years. I knew in my heart there was more to life than giving 45+ years of my life to a j.o.b that I did not like, or even enjoy.

One day, a few years ago, I came to a point in my life that I was beyond sick and tired of living the humdrum life. I wanted to pursue my passions and develop my talents, and live my life to the fullest.

I also came to discover something that was so foreign to me, yet so profound, that radically changed my life.

The point that I came to was , I was fully responsible for where I was at in my life! I could not blame anyone or anything for where I was at.

I could not blame anyone for the debt I was in, the job "I" chose, the time I spent watching TV instead of pursuing my goals. I could not blame anyone for the frustration I was having because my life was going no where.

So two years ago, I did something about it. I turned off the TV, balanced the check book, and said no to everything that was not helping me move closer to my goals. (I did more than this, and I will share more about it in future posts)

This blog is about how to live life to the fullest. How to begin living the kind of life you have always known you deserved and dreamed of, and you do deserve to live your passions and dreams to the fullest.

That is one of the first steps to living your dreams. Believing "You" Do Deserve To Live Your Dreams!
