Are you ready for a Life Coach?
| |
| The answer is YES! The real challenge is most people do not have a strong enough self image to hire a coach. They simply hide behind the ”I can’t afford it” or the ”When I get successful, I'll hire a coach.” |

Can you really help your employees get promoted?
| |
| Why is it most employees don’t want to get promoted? I could never figure that out. Sure they want and even need more money but they always have an excuse on why they are not able to grow. You may even over extend at times and give them free seminar tickets or golden opportunities, only to hear them come up with great excuses why they can’t make it. I recently asked leadership legend John Maxwell what things he was thinking on currently and he said something amazing. |

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. |

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.

Small Business Tips: Turning Words Into Deeds
| |
|
Deed is just another name for action. First you need to ensure you have thought and imagined the foundations of your business – getting clear on your products, services and customers. Next you need to have "inked" these thoughts into plans, brochures, web sites and copy. Finally you need to take action.
Action is where you put your energy behind your thoughts. There are many sayings around the importance of action "You miss 100% of all shots you fail to take", "You've got to be in it to win it" and "The journey of 1000 miles begins with just one step" are a few of my favourites.

Master Your Game: Establishing Your Tactical Game
| |
| After establishing your target, it is imperative that you establish a strategy. Here are four factors that have assisted me in executing my strategy:
• Taking action

• Learning from the action and adjusting for the next one
• Being persistent.

The Benefits of Taking Action
| |
| Now consider the benefits of taking action. Taking action separates the dreamers from the doers, and in the end, the successful leaders of society from the followers. Taking action fills you with confidence, as you start to see your goals accomplished one by one and your full vision coming to completion. However, just remember that at the end of your life, you never regret your experiences, good or bad. Rather, you regret all of the things that you never got to do, because of fear or because you didn't have time. It's always of benefit to take action rather than procrastinate or deaden your desire for life. |

Action Plan Example
| |
| Action plans are fairly common in business, but probably done wrong as often as not. A lot of people do not understand what an action plan is and often mistake it for a COE or Correction Of Errors, not one of my favorite types of documents. Having a good action plan starts with an understanding of what an action plan is and a great action plan example would be a huge help in this.
An action plan is a forward looking document and should be addressed as one. When looking at an action plan example one should take this into account. Action plans prevent business gaffs, keep everyone on task and help smooth out operations. In a way they could be considered a mini business plan, though I tend to look at them as a working business plan. |
