This is just a note to thank you for the excellent presentation you gave my employees on Sunday, February 26th. They came away with personal goal setting ideas, a new outlook on their job and even gave suggestions on improving processes.
I am encouraged by the immediate results and will keep you updated on the long term. I have been in business for over 10 years but this is the first time I have decided to consult with a professional of your degree of expertise.
I appreciate it when a consultant can guide us down new directions we never saw before. I have always believed personally that we have to set our own personal goals before we can set goals in our job.
Your passion for what you do is evident in your presentation. I really feel like you are one of the team and that makes all the difference.
This is exactly what the doctor ordered and I can’t wait to see the reaction from all of our members after your presentation on March 10th.
Hello everybody and thank you for joining me here today on this most beautiful day. Today I want to discuss the concept of what it means to truly focus.
Let me start by saying that we all have focus even if and most especially when we are under pressure and our lives seem chaotic. You know - those days when it seems like one is lagging behind and we just can't seem to catch up and we get feelings of great anxiety as if one is about to experience a nervous breakdown? I think we've all experienced those days. Men and women experience these days as do young adults and yes even children. Those are the days when "focus" becomes a great asset to us all.
But it's built in. It's built in to our natural way of dealing with every day events in our lives - one might call it instinct. Some of us might not be aware but when we are trying so hard to accomplish one thing or another and everything seems to keep falling down around you - that is when a person is really focused - when it seems like no matter how hard you try - things just keep coming back to the same feeling of helplessness and failure. But I want assure you that this is simply not the case. It is in these times when one seems destined to fail that we are actually at our best. Because we are trying so hard - so, so hard to get to where we want to be and all of these obstacles keep popping up and yes these types of situations can be difficult - but guess what? It's difficult to run the mile a minute faster than yesterday or score more touch downs on Sunday at the park than you normally do. And yet playing at the park or keeping healthy is something that does not seem to stress us out. Why? Because there is no sense of urgency - unless,...unless we put it there ourselves. It works exactly the same way with any other situations - be it marriage, job, family etc. Just do what you are happy to do in the first place and everything else will just fall into place naturally. So if one understands this one also understands that so long as you don't " give up " you are focused and should remain so until your goals are met; don't let negativity inhibit your success.
Ask yourself - am I putting these extra feelings of insecurity and distress there myself? Am I running late today because I didn't get up when the alarm sounded? Is my child asking for things or time that I don't feel I have at the moment because I feel like I'm too busy? Is my wife or husband angry with me today because I was short with them this morning because I was running late? Did I miss putting out the trash this morning because I didn't get up in time? Did I put these feelings of anxiety and distress in my mind myself? You will find that the answer to all of these questions will undoubtedly be yes.
Yes, we tend to be our own worst critic.
The truth of the matter is that we create our own obstacles. For example: Say I want to lose 20 pounds; I go on a diet for a whole month and I only lose 2 pounds and so I feel like I have failed. In fact I have not failed at all. I've started to lose the weight but what I did fail to do was set a realistic goal - not because a person can't lose 20 pounds but because my goal may not have been realistic - or maybe I didn't account for external factors such as time - my own rate of metabolism or how other things just seem to have gotten in my way. So it takes you 10 months to lose 20 pounds - so what? Take your time, enjoy what you are doing and in 10 months you will see the results that you were looking for. Do it for yourself - not because you can't be happy if you don't lost 20 pounds in 1 month - it may as well be 5 minutes. That is definitely unrealistic right?
Think about the statement: In my way. That is a funny statement is it not? What is in my way? Well lets see,...nothing. Nothing, unless I put it there. Sure a roadblock might make me drive to the next street, but I do know how to get to the next street right? So it isn't really a roadblock is it? It's just a new route. And that is how we should deal with any obstacle that may be blocking our path to attaining our goals. Simply create those new routes. That's what we do naturally every time havoc comes into our lives. We naturally and instinctively create new routes.
In the middle of a hectic situation one realizes that they are light headed because they haven't had lunch and it's close to 3:00 and your stomach is growling and your stress jumps even more now because you know you have to stop to eat and you have somewhere you have to be at 3:30 and you make a stop so that you can eat something. So it seems like you are failing or will fail in the end. That feeling - as though you are failing or that you will fail in the end is the only obstacle in your path and guess what? You put it there. True we can't change what happens in the world, but we can most certainly limit how it affects our minds, our feelings and definitely our determination.
We put things in our own way all the time - we create obstacles which make normality seem like chaos in our own minds. We inhibit what all of us already do in a natural and instinctual way.
Focus. Don't think that because things are tough or you seem to be falling behind that you are failing. Because in fact, you are at your best. And you are very, very focused. Just stay on track and drop the feelings of negativity - because that is the only thing in between you and your happiness and thus the only making you feel like a failure. As long as we don't give in and give up to any obstacle - be they in our minds or in our world, we cannot fail. Just focus!
Thank you for stopping by and have a very nice day.
I love starting with a wise quote of my own or from some of my favorite people that I have studied for so long.
Know your own mind, and you will be as wise as the sages.
When you take charge of your mind, you take charge of your life. When you understand your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and desires, you can direct them to any end you choose. Wisdom comes from taking the time to study yourself, to know why you are the person you are. Taking charge of your mind is a thoughtful, reflective, solitary process.
Only you can come to understand the complex inner workings of your own mind, and you must be willing to spend the time and effort that gaining such insight requires.
You see what this quote means to me is the following:
It means that if you truly take the time to know and understand who you are as a person then you can understand and be able to make better choices in life. These choices can be life changing .
There will be time in our lives when we have to make choice against our better judgement because of necessity or because we just do not know what the future may hold for us.
I have made choices against my better judgement in the past and has cost me money and time. Money can be made again and again with the right choices and better judgement, but time my friends will never be given back to you.
You see my friends as a Life Coach I try to teach techniques that will actually work for the individual I am working with as opposed to techniques that are from a cookie cutter if you will. Cookie cutter techniques are all over the internet and in books and people continue to buy and do and use such techniques.
I am not saying that some of them do not work they do but which ones that is the question.
There are many benefits to taking up a coach for so many reasons and here are just a few to thing about on your journey of life.
Here is an article I found on the internet that pretty much spells it out for you. I love this article.
Contrary to popular belief, life coaching isn't therapy. Instead, a life coach is someone who provides encouragement and tips to help you achieve your goals. You can think of life coaches as a combination of a supportive cheerleader and a wise old friend you turn to for advice. By investing in life coaching, you can be part of a team that's focused on improving your life.
But how do you know if you can benefit from it?
See if any of the following 4 statements sound like you. If they seem a little too familiar, a life coach may be able to help you work wonders!
1. You're too wrapped up in your work.
Sure, everyone wants to move up the corporate ladder or get ahead in business, but doing so shouldn't be the focus of your entire life. A life coach can help you balance your professional life with your personal one and help you focus more on your friends, your hobbies, and your family.
2. You're under too much stress.
Whether you've got a nightmare boss, a marriage that's on the rocks, or are under too much pressure trying to make ends meet, life coaching can help you calm down. In fact, a good life coach can help you come with ways to relax and take some time for yourself so you don't succumb to stress.
After all, stress isn't just an emotional problem; it can also be a physical one. The last thing on earth you want is for all of that stress to take a toll on your health!
3. You feel lost.
Maybe you're out of work. Maybe your kids just left for college. Maybe you just got divorced. No matter the reason, it's perfectly normal to feel a little "lost" whenever you're dealing with major life changes. However, a good life coach can help you come up with a plan to move forward.
4. You don't know how to make decisions.
Should you head to a traditional four-year university or culinary school? Should you buy a house or rent another apartment? Should you move to a new town or stay where you are?
If you're indecisive, it can make your entire life come to a screeching halt. Instead of going nowhere - and just remaining paralyzed by your inability to make a decision - life coaching can provide you with tips and techniques to make decisions you're comfortable and confident about.

I can tell you that our obstacles come from the fears that we have learned from somewhere at one point or another during our lifetime and we need to face them head on. This is the only way that we will be able to win the battle within!!
Hello and good morning to everyone and how would like to be able to unlock your mind with ideas of how your life should be? That is a bold statement I know and Am I able to help you with that -well yes I can. How you may ask and you see my friend that key to unlocking the potential within is the following.
There are time when we feel that there are forces that keep us stuck in a rut and we cannot find a way out. To be honest many people live their entire lives that way.
I will start a new series of videos that will be only one to two minutes long explaining ways and techniques to get out of your rut and ways to beat these fears we all tend to learn from our past or our parents that actually would have been OK in the past when they were youngsters but in all reality will hinder you today.
I find that peoples lives are much more precious then money and much much more precious to themselves fall short of realizing such potential within themselves.
The young minds of today are so lost. Here you see me giving a self esteem seminar to young women who need to learn that life can be difficult but can change at anytime if we choose to do so.
I find that though I teach these techniques I find that sometimes I forget the consequences of a choice and fall short myself. However I quickly learn the mistakes and this corrected immediately before I move forward.
I have to admit and believe you will appreciate honesty. I to have driven myself to a point of no return with some of the choices that I have made in the past that have affected my life and my families life as well.
There are consequences for every choice that we make however if we stop and think before we act then we can make better choices and perhaps the consequences can be more positive the negative.
As a life coach I believe that my ideas and way of training clients is not from a cookie cutter program or theories but real ideas and techniques that I share with the individual to really see in actuality the issues that sometimes we do not or choose not to see for whatever reason we choose to--MMMM that word again C-H-O-O-S-E- you see life is and becomes our reality through the choices we make each and every day of our lives.
Being a Life Coach And the Benefits
"Having A Young Mind Does Not Mean You Are Not Aware Of The World Around You It Simply Means Others Believe You Are Wrong When In Reality You Are Right"--Luciano Santini
How many of us waste our time in non important things.
I started ti write about how difficult it is for people to change and how they resist to change in a world not only where technology will kill your business but most important the people that work for you can be the real issue behind the scenes and we do not see it if someone does not point it out to us.
Better Self Esteem: Helping you realize your dreams and stop being stuck in a rut.
Reaching your goals: By fine tuning your goal progress and keeping you on track, a life coach can help you not only reach your goals, but reach them with greater speed than you would have alone. This goal achievement is what the ultimate purpose of a life coach is, and is the ultimate benefit in having one.
Understanding your world that you live in: Having a sounding board helps you get honest feedback without embarrassment. A life coach can gently make you understand what your problems are and how to overcome them. This learning and advice can lead to a much deeper understanding of yourself and an increased awareness to reactions to you.
Felling better about who you are: I can help you find your happiness buttons and help you see the world for what it is and the change that need to be made in your life.
Business Coaching
I found this article which is so true it is something to think about:
Business coaching is required both at the executive and the managerial level for understanding the organization’s current position and to decide its future growth patterns.
Apart from effecting educational development and experience, coaching also provides objective feedback and acts as a critical tool for successfully engineering organizational change.
For adapting to the rapidly shifting marketplace, organizations need to change their approach. However, this is often difficult to implement as people and organizations are naturally resistant to change.
Business coaching has become a very effective tool for initiating productive changes in individuals, teams, and systems by enabling leaders, managers, and employees to uncover potential that might otherwise go untapped.
Coaching managers provide many direct benefits to the organization as managers get a clear idea about their commitments as well as those of the organization. They learn how to generate and maintain effective relationships, which in turn increases the levels of trust and accountability in the organization.
Their understanding of organizational and interpersonal dynamics is increased considerably, allowing them to empower themselves and others to achieve organizational objectives.
They learn how to take calculated risks for producing results aligned with organizational vision. They also learn to develop the right kind of unity and team spirit that will powerful work relationships that help achieve extraordinary results.
Hello friends and how are you on this fine day Monday morning. Well as for me I am just completing some yoga and yes I know it sounds weird for a guy to be doing yoga huh? not!!
I love to exercise an do yoga to relax and prepare for the day to come. I used to write every day but found that it takes so much of my time and in between clients and family which are equally important but in different outlooks of course.
I believe that sometime we go through life not knowing just how much we mean to this world. I find that sometime people tend to forget who we are as human beings and who we are as individual which is far more important.
You see sometimes we seek outside of us when in all reality what we seek is deep within us ourselves. I will be starting a one to two minute videos on Facebook with some great inspiration for you to follow me and make your day great.
I will be doing a seminar on business in March through the Heights Of Greatness Institute. I will be part of this seminar and I will be talking about operations and customer service. It will be great information that will give small businesses and those stating a new venture the tools to compete.

As a motivational speaker I love to help people see life from different perspective which can change a life or two and I accomplish this then I have made a difference.
You see there some great benefits to bringing in a motivational speaker into your company to help your staff or perhaps you as the business owner.
Sometimes I can assist anyone in overcoming personal obstacles and fears.
Sometimes is just simply assisting staff to overcome sales fears and obstacles.
It can also help with customer service such as understanding clients.
As a business coach there are some different but almost the same kind of benefits.
Identifying the fears within your company.
Training management skills that work.
Understanding both internal and external customers.
