Making a Difference in People’s Lives: How to Find Your Purpose
| |
| Ever wonder why some people have a sense of purpose or reason and you don’t?
I wondered this about myself many years ago and then went searching for my purpose.
I was working a sales job that just wasn’t doing it for me. The money was okay but at the end of the day when I asked myself “what have I done today?” I couldn’t come up with anything substantial or meaningful.
I knew that I wanted to make a difference in the world but I didn’t know how. I wanted my children’s children’s children to know who I was and why I was important. |

Running a business successfully.
| |
| People use me to help them run their businesses successfully. I'm a professional business coach, have been so for 10 years. I work with about 25 entrepreneurs every month to help them manage their businesses.
Most of them are doing extremely well - even in these tough times. Enclosed is a huge document I give them all.
When you look at it, you'll probably guess that many small-business owners, eager to get into the part of the business that makes money, skip critical steps that should come first - steps about self-knowledge, mission, vision.
And, while small business is the heartbeat of the engine that drives American commerce, 40% of new small businesses are gone in 1 year, 80% in 4 years. So, have a read. See if this makes sense to you. Use it as you please. For conversation, please call. |

The True Colors of struggle
| |
| The key here is to embrace the struggle. Why? Because it’s going to come, period. It’s a 100% guarantee that you will struggle at times in your life. It‘s like death, people are so afraid of death yet it’s the one thing you know with total certainty that it will happen. Let’s get back to embracing the struggle. As the #1 Online Life Coach I have some ultra successful high end clients and one of the most popular questions is: “Evan, why is it so hard? “ My answer is why is it so hard for them to understand that the struggle is what brings out the greatness. The struggle in the gym is what makes the champion athlete, the struggle in the cocoon is what properly develops the butterfly’s wings, the struggle in refining Gold and Diamonds is what makes these stones so precious. |

Unleash the entrepreneur within!
| |
| It's not for everyone! As the #1 Online Life Coach this has been a huge breakthrough for many people when they realize that they simply are not cut out to be an entrepreneur, and it's ok. J. Paul Getty in his book How to be Rich talked about the three types of men/employees. The first is just a job mentality type, this person is also known as a Mr. Steady. They feel more comfortable being in a system that someone else creates, they just want to do their job and leave at 5pm. Most of these types take pride in their job and if they need to work some overtime they will, however it will be the first thing they complain about. Regardless they will do their job and show up every day and expect to get paid every two weeks regardless of what is going on in the company. |

What is Online Life Coaching?

When to say no to a deal. If you want grow say no!
| |
| Wait, before you say, "I did this really small job and it lead to a bigger one, so I never turn down a deal." If you want to think that way, it's OK, but if you want to get to the next level, you need to think differently. I have a very successful client in Hollywood that I work with, he hired me to help him make the jump to the elite level of 8 figure deals. I told him the same thing I'm telling you, say, "No to 80%." He was so challenged by this until I explained to him that the deals he was getting now were the ones turned down by the elite level 8 figure guys. If you want 8 figure deals you have think like an 8 figure guy and NOT take 6 figure deals. |

Tiger Woods needs a Life Coach and so do you!
| |
| Dear Tiger, as the #1 Online Life Coach I’m here to remind you that, you do not have ” rights” you only have “responsibilities.” You chose to enter the public realm of Pro sports and you chose to accept the benefits of being a household name. Because of this you surrendered your rights of personal privacy.
Do I agree with you that you should have some privacy? Yes! But that doesn’t matter, the world does not work like that anymore. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. Your squeaky clean image is what repelled the tabloids for the last 10 years. They don’t want to report on a functional family and the moment you chose to be dysfunctional, you sent them a personal invitation to turn your life upside down.

Market Perspective

| September was a long and volatile month in the financial services industry and markets are taking most investors on a wild and sometimes frightening ride. The news about corporate failures and bailouts is confusing and the economic news is disheartening. That said, I wanted to remind you that we have a financial plan in place that assumed we'd hit rough patches like this eventually. People react emotionally to money and volatility, and this fact is not new. |

No Cost Mortgage Refinancing – Transferring Your Mortgage
| |
| If someone is paying mortgage rates that they are unhappy with, there's no need to be kept these terms.

The truth is, with so many lenders available, there is certain to be a better deal out there for you.

Understand the Variables: How Lenders Vary their Rates
| |
| When someone is interested in taking out a mortgage, a fair amount of research will need to be looked into. This is because lenders, both public and private, will vary their rates depending on a certain number of variables. To understand these variables, it's important to break them down into what sorts of things a lender looks for. An obvious variable is credit. Those with good credit will clearly be able to pay lower rates than those with bad, because they are less of a liability. Though it seems almost counterintuitive to charge those with a history of not paying people back more money, this is one of the factors that are used. |

THE ROAD TO WEALTH
| |
| In the first chapter of his book, The Science of Getting Rich, Wallace D. Wattles said, ‘The object of all life is development, and everything that lives has an inalienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.
A person’s right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich. The person who owns all he wants for the living of all the life he is capable of living is rich, and no person who has not plenty of money can have all he wants’.
If you think about it the road to wealth is accessible to all who earnest seek to find its corridors. But to achieve wealth one must have clear goals, dogged persistence and the correct mindset.

Your number one investment

| Every one has ideas, inventions, and dreams but only a few people ever make any money from their thoughts. Although people generate millions of them each year, most of these ideas do not make money. Why?

Your ideas are your number one investment; a never-ending reservoir of creative wealth and the building blocks of any business.REMEMBER: YOUR THOUGHTS ARE YOUR WEALTH. |

Failing to implement is what holds you back in business
| |
| Failing to implement is what holds you back in business and is easier to do than to implement ideas, let me explain further...
There are thousands of people that have great ideas that remain as ideas and this is not just in the business world. Ideas that remain as an idea will never make you money and will stop you from moving forward in your business and in your life. The real problem here is the ‘Fear of Failure', which is a real issue for most people and in most cases the fear is no more than an obstacle in your way.
You need to think in a positive way and have confidence in yourself and in your ideas and take the risk. If you are a business owner then you took the initial risk of going it alone, so don't let your present fears stop you from moving forward. |

Money for starting a business
| |
| Getting the money for starting a business is a stumbling block that many budding entrepreneurs face at the out set.
The first question to answer is should I buy a business or set up a business from scratch with each route having its own complications from a fund raising perspective. If you are starting out from scratch you have the added problem that you have no track-record in business and the business itself will have not trading history.
However, if you are looking to buy a business or perhaps set up a franchise then this is a slightly different proposition in that and existing business will have a trading history and franchise are liked by banks because they are a know quantity. You do still have the slight problem that you have no business track record, but this can be overcome with a sound business proposal. |

Keep cash flow to an optimum
| |
| Keep cash flow to an optimum by observing the following suggested methods:
- Keep your payroll bill down to an absolute minimum - however, always pay good money to good employees or they will walk!
- Try to avoid signing long-term rental agreements and if fancy offices are not necessary don't bother with upmarket office space, especially if your customers rarely visit your business.
- Don't overpay yourself - you only need to take out what is enough to feed yourself.
- Keep a close eye on staff travel and entertainment and avoid issuing staff with company credit cards and mobile phones!
- Fancy office furniture hurts the bank balance and is not necessary unless you are in the type of business that needs to impress clients. Secondhand or liquidation stock furniture is the best option and will save you a small fortune! |

Cash flow forecast software
| |
| Cash flow forecast software the bear essentials.
In preparing a good cash flow forecast for a bank or and investor you need to know what the forecasts should include. I have therefore put together a list of what you should include, as follows:
- The cash flow projection should realistically be for a period of not less than 36 months ahead. And for each of the three years these should be presented on a month-by-month basis.
- The forecasts should distinguish between the business cash flow and the business profit and loss figures. Cash flow of a business relates to the timing money is received by the company and paid out of the company and would include VAT in the UK and Europe and Sales Tax in America. |

Cash flow is king!
| |
| Cash flow is the key to business success.
The vast majority of business failures is down to bad cash flow, if not all failures for that matter!
If you want to run a good business and a successful one at that you must keep an eye on cash flow. Whilst profitability is important, profit is no good to any business unless the money you invoice to your customers is collected in full and in time!
Forget balance sheets and profit and loss accounts if you are not accounting minded, but get to grips with your business cash flow. If you lose control of your cash flow you will lose control of your business either to the bank and or the receiver/liquidator!
If anything, with most new ventures the cash flow is over optimised. It is always worth while being realistic when planning cash flow for your business. |

The Gift of Time
| |
| Time is one of my favorite subjects. Time is actually the most precious resource we have. Everyone starts their week with the same amount of time.

We must treat time as more precious than money. Being good stewards of time will unlock the key to success in our lives and businesses. |
