From A Life Coach's point of view
Hello friends how are we doing on this beautiful Saturday morning. I am sure it is Sunday or perhaps Monday somewhere around the world or perhaps some other universe who knows. Well today has been a wonderful day so far.
This past week I have had the opportunity to really take a look at my life and find out what has been happening. What do I mean well for starters you would think that a professional and motivational speaker never needs motivation and I will be the first to tell you that we are human as well just like you and sometimes we to need that push so we can also accomplish our goals and dreams.
I was having one of those weeks you know what I am talking about a week where everything seems to be going wrong and it does. Yes I had one of those weeks and then it hit me what I always teach and tell people when facilitating a seminar. What is it that motivates you from the inside out and never from the outside in because you will only find temporary fixes when you look outside of you for motivation.
I was watching my kids play outside and noticed my middle son talking to a friend and he was talking about how I had woke him up last Saturday and took a walk with him to watch the sunrise with me and how he though it had been really cool and to ask his dad to do the same. At that point I realized that life is not always about money but about moments just like that one and I was there to see it.
"In Life It Is Not About What Your Eyes Can See But What Your Heart Can Feel During A Special Moment"--Luciano Santini
As a Life Coach I try to teach my clients that sometimes it is the one minute or less moments that we mostly miss in our lives and those are the ones we regret the most as well. We need to pay attention and be aware where we are during those important moments that we feel or think are not important at all.
Business
Business always a touchy issue with small business owners why? Because most of the time they do not understand their customers
I found this great article on what I teach and do to assist my clients and what it means to bring in an experienced business coach to help you see your business from a different perspective.
Over the past three years, four-fifths of America’s fastest
growing companies have initiated important new programs aimed at
customer expansion, customer retention, and/or customer profitability.
And, as if this significant involvement were not enough, a majority
is planning to either greatly enhance an existing customer initiative,
or launch a new one over the next 12 months.
There is an important
payoff to this reaffirmation: those planning new customer-focused
programs have achieved 46 percent faster revenue growth than their
peers over the past five years, and are projecting 35 percent higher
growth over the next 12 months. These are highlights of the latest
PricewaterhouseCoopers "Trendsetter Barometer," released
recently.
"Companies often build relationships with the wrong
customers—or try to structure relationships with the right customers,
but using the wrong capabilities," notes PricewaterhouseCoopers'
Paul Gulbin, a director specializing in customer-related issues, based
in New York.
"Instead of attempting to provide full service to all,
businesses can operate more profitably by focusing on products and services
that relate to specific customer segments. Businesses should always be
conscious of, and fine-tuning the alignment between sales, service channels,
and sub-channels. And they also need to do something about value-destroying
customers, from which the company does not make an acceptable margin."
