Coaching Services: Charging To Much?

When we challenge ourselves, we challenge others!

The call is every Wednesday...

Back to the whole money thing...

It's unavoidable, money impacts you whether you like it or not.

When you live in an over populated and heavily polluted area the quality of the air you breath is impacted.  Change your environment, move to a different area, and you can change the quality of the air you breath.

Zig Ziggler compares money to air.  "Money's like air, you don't need it unless you want to breath!"

Your attitudes, perspectives, believes, experience, observations and learnings all work together to either give you a good feeling about money or a yuky feeling about money.

Ultimately it's up to "YOU"...

Either you see money as a limitation or a possibility.

And the important thing about how you see money is that it will impact how you willing you are to receive it just as much as it will impact how much you're willing to spend.

Final thoughts...

1. Checkout Christians blog post, read my comment and share your's as well.

2. Join me on the Winning Matters call today...even if you're late or have to leave early.

3. Start looking at how you relate to money...is it a limitation or a possibility.

Coaching Business Book: Andrea J. Lee's giving it away for FREE!

Wanna be's or the real thing...

In the world of business there far more "wanna be's" than there are those who actually have the experience.  This resource is the real thing and it's coming from someone who without question walks her talk and "KNOWS" through experience what works.

Wisdom, insight and charm...

I can't imagine having a discussion with Andrea and not walking away with some piece of wisdom or insight.  It has, for me, been a constant experience with her...either by phone or by email she always seems to have a way of saying or suggesting something the leaves me thinking "WOW"!

In one of my earliest discussions with Andrea we were talking about income and challenges with money and she shared with me this amazing pearl...

"Small business owners who have money issues that last longer than 3 months don't really have a money issue!"

This thought both in regard to money and the context of time is so powerful.  It literally changed how talked and felt about money from that point on.  It allowed me to begin to focus not on the money, rather on the challenge I was actually dealing with...

Money is only the symptom, nothing more!

As I prepare to launch my 2009 program "Winning Matters" I realize just how powerful and timely this offer is for those who are willing to take action.

Andrea is offering the beta version of her AMAZING BOOK "Multiple Streams of Coaching Income, The Future of Coaching Is Now" FOR FREE!  Just a name and email address...nothing more!

When I first read this book I blown away...I kept finding myself thinking and saying "So, true!"..."You're right!"..."OMG!"  I was taking notes left and right and spent weeks (actually months) contemplating and working with all that was shared. Heck it still impacts my choices when it comes to business.

Here's the link..."OFFER ENDS DECEMBER 8th, 2008!"...

FREE Book!!! "Multiple Streams of Coaching Income, The Future of Coaching Is Now" - click here...

If you're building a coaching business this book is an "ABSOLUTE MUST READ!"

Small Business: Winning in business, your dream depends on it!

Financial Freedom!

T. Harv Eker says it best "First you have to win the money game!"

Most people start their own business to do just that..."win the money game!" Still, it is all to often that these small business owners find themselves working harder and longer than they ever did as an employee. Truth be told they are a far more difficult boss to work for (i.e., working for themselves) than any other boss they've known or work for to date.

5 challenges you might face...

While there are many reasons we can find ourselves as small business owners struggling just to make it let alone enjoying it, let's focus on a couple key points...

1. You have to do it yourself or it won't ever be done correctly!
2. Hardwork equals success!
3. You can't afford to pay someone else!
4. You don't have a target income beyond "your monthly bills!"
5. You don't have a target audience beyond "anyone who will pay!"

You don't have to match-up with all 5 points to find yourself trapped in a business that will never give you the time to enjoy what you have created.

Which one is your biggest challenge?

A great book to read is "The 4-hour work week!" by Timothy Ferriss.

In his book Ferriss repeatedly talks about "challenging your assumptions!" If you are willing to do just that you will find both your business and your life changing in powerful ways.

The first step to any change is to have an awareness of what it is you want to change!

If you are convinced that you are the only one who can do what you do and no one else can do it as well as you...get ready; your life is going to be miserable!

How can you challenge your assumption?

Time for a change!

Pick something small, something you might want to do and may even feel like you have to do it and consider the following...

1. On a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being "EXTREMELY DIFFICULT" and 1 being "EXTREMELY EASY" rate one of your typical tasks.

If the task you are rating comes in at a 6 or less then make it your goal to find a way to have the task completed without you having to be involved.

2. Once you have found a way to complete the task without your involvement then give yourself 3 to 7 weeks to test it out.

3. At the end of the test period rate the success of your test on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being "EXTREME FAILURE" and 10 being an "EXTREME SUCCESS!"

If your test rating was a 6 or less ask yourself "What could I change to improve the results?"

If your test rating was a 7 or higher ask yourself "Do I need to improve the results?" If so, take some time to consider how you might improve it.

4. Repeat the process.

Note: Once you are satisfied with the completion of a given task then move on to the next task. Repeat often and continually.

Financial freedom is an outcome or a result of how effective you are at building a business or being self-employed. One or the other...not both!

Hint: Self-employed rarely means "financial freedom."

You can change that today...

To your success,

James
