The Process is More Important than the Plan

Goal Setting

Identify your goals.  Make a plan. 

Save money, time & energy.
It's key to your business success!

Written plans are an important part of your business success.  
But, you might be thinking...

What do I need a plan for?
I’ve been through the planning process before, why do I need to create another plan?

I’ve been to an ActionCOACH GrowthCLUB planning day before,  and I can create my own plan. Why should I go again?
Let me share the results of a study conducted by Inc. Magazine.
A group of businesses was selected.  The 1st group created action plans stating what they needed to achieve in their business.  The 2nd group just reacted to the events as they occurred in the day-to-day operations of their business.  A few years later, Inc. Magazine went back to look at the success rates of those businesses.  As you might have guessed, the group that planned was vastly more successful than the 2nd group.  The group that was too busy and winged it everyday with no plan were almost all floundering, bankrupt or out of business.
What they found was the successful group didn’t necessarily look at their plan every day, but it was just the act of taking the time to plan that made the difference.  Writing a plan clarifies your goals and focuses your daily activities, even if you don't consult the plan everyday.  Brian Tracy in his book Goals!, says the lesson is simple with the 6 P’s.... Proper.. Prior.. Planning.. Prevents.. Poor.. Performance.  
Here are 7 reasons you should act now and participate in ActionCOACH’s GrowthCLUB planning days:
  1. It will force you to organize your thinking to focus on all issues needed to be addressed in the next 90 days.
  2. It will allow you to think through what you must do to accomplish your goals, allowing you to plan your actions carefully before you begin.  This preparation will save you enormously in terms of time, money & people.
  3. You will learn what questions to ask that will allow you to discuss and evaluate your plan, determining flaws & errors that could prove fatal to your business.
  4. You can identify weaknesses in your plan and make provisions to compensate.
  5. You can identify strengths and new potential opportunities that you can take advantage of to increase the likelihood of success.
  6. You will be able to focus your time and money on the resources, which will allow you to achieve the 1-2 objectives that will make your business successful over the next 90 days.
  7. It will save you hours- weeks- months of confusion, mistakes and losses of your money, time, & energy.

7 Keys to Quality of Life

As a business coach I always try to stress that your business should not be your end all.  It should be the vehicle to help you get what you really want out of life.  Your life shouldn’t be your business.  Your business should get you more out of life.
Here are what I believe to be are the 7 keys to improving ourselves and achieving the quality life we want and deserve.
  1. Quality of Results – To increase our quality of life, we need to get better results.  That’s easier said than done.  How do we increase the quality of our results?
  2. Quality of Actions – By increasing the quality of our actions, we will improve the quality of results.  So how do I do that, you might ask?
  3. Quality of Decisions – To increase the quality of our actions, we need to make better decisions.  The next key will help us to increase the quality of our decisions.
  4. Quality of Questions – The better the questions, the better the decisions you will make.  One of the key ways that I help my clients as a business coach is by asking the difficult questions and coaching my clients to start asking themselves those difficult questions.
  5. Quality of Beliefs & Dreams – You can’t ask better questions if you don’t know what it is you don’t know.  When you have strong beliefs and big dreams, you begin to ask better questions because you need to know why.  You’ll start asking yourself what is keeping me from achieving that success.  But how can someone build better and bigger dreams and a stronger belief system?
  6. Quality of Education – By increasing our quality of education and always trying to learn more, our beliefs will get stronger and our dreams will get bigger.
  7. Quality of Mentor/Teacher – We have to first admit that we don’t know everything.  Today we have the ability to access many mentors and teachers, not necessarily personally, but through their workshops, books, CD’s, DVD’s, etc.
One person I consider to be my mentor, but have never actually met is Jim Rohn.  Though he has passed away and he is missed by many, he said two things that have always stuck with me.  “You have to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.” AND “Don’t wish that your life was easier, wish that you were better.”
If we strive to have a mentor who can teach us and mentor us to look at the world and ourselves in a new light, THEN....
  • We will increase the quality of our education 
  • Leading to higher quality beliefs and dreams
  • Allowing us to ask better questions to make better decisions
  • Allowing us to take better actions
  • Leading to achieving better results 
  • Resulting in an increase in our quality of life

Help! I’m stuck in a rut!

A few years back I was standing at our kitchen sink, washing the breakfast dishes, looking out our kitchen window and I noticed this fly.  It was just flying in circles, climbing up and down the window screen desperately looking for a way out.   Feeling the fresh air, it could sense that its freedom was near.  This seemed to motivate the fly even more to try to get out.

I realized that if I didn't give the fly any help, it was destined to be flying in circles all day, and I knew that the buzzing would begin to get on my nerves.  Eventually my son who was 3 years old at the time came over and  pushed the screen open to give the fly an opening to finally break through to freedom.

As I continued to wash the dishes, I was amazed that the fly just kept going up and down in the same meticulous manner.  The path to freedom was just inches away but it seemed stuck looking in the same places to find a small hole to break through.  When I was done washing the dishes and contemplating what had just happened, my son came over and asked me, “Why didn't it just fly away?”  I thought about it for a moment and answered him that the fly never stopped to think that he could.
How many of us are unknowingly doing the same thing?  My son's question made me think about how many businesses can't move forward.
How many of us can’t break through to that next level of success because we are stuck in our own comfort zone?  How many business owners continue to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results?
But just like the fly on my window, we are stuck in our comfort zones, imprisoned by our routines, stuck doing the same thing over and over because it is just familiar to us.  A wise sage once said, “An imprisoned individual cannot set himself free.”
Eventually the fly did break through to freedom, but only when my son came over and repeatedly pushed it toward the opening, so it could finally break through to the freedom it so desired.
Who do you have that can give you more perspective and will continually push you toward the opening so you can break through to your next level of success?
As a business coach, I help my clients see the forest through the trees, give them the knowledge they need when they need it, and hold them accountable week in and week out to reach their goals.  
A business coach helps business owners create a long-term vision and set goals and milestones to achieve that vision.  A business coach can help business owners talk through solutions to overcome problems.  Business coaches can also assist with building your team, helping team members to contribute to your overall success.  Business coaching keeps business owners on track to continue to grow and create their own success.
At ActionCOACH, we coach business owners to success with proven, tested and systematized ways to reach your goals and grow your business no matter what industry you are in.
Remember every champion has a coach, and that coaching is not just sports any more.

3 Ways to Accelerate Your Business


The other day, I was re-listening Brad Sugar interview Keith Cunningham as part of the Master Mentor Series.  Keith is a business profitability expert, who wrote the course seminar that world-renowned Robert Kiyosaki turned into the best selling book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.  Of the many gems I received from listening to this interview, I would like to share one with you.
Most of us would agree that our business isn’t growing as fast as we would like.  If we had to describe the speed of our growth, we would compare it to the speed of a tricycle.  Most of us are peddling away as fast as we can, but - on a tricycle - we can only peddle just so fast.  To stay at that fast pace takes a lot of energy.
What can we do to increase our business growth from the pace of a tricycle to that of an automobile or jet airplane?  
Add systems, dials & knowledge.
Systems – A tricycle has only 3 systems to make it move: a steering system, a 3 wheel system and a peddling system.  None of these systems needs to be monitored or needs much knowledge to operate.  These systems are so simple even a “caveman”, sorry, I mean a 2 or 3 year old can operate it.  What allows an automobile or jet to move fast?  It has more sophisticated systems.  No longer is our acceleration powered solely by our effort, but by the automobile or jet's systems. These systems accelerate our growth, but use less energy on our part.
Dials – If our systems are not working properly, we may not be moving at all or it may even lead to an accident or someone’s death.  To prevent system failure, we need dials or a dashboard to monitor our speed and acceleration.  If we are moving at the speed of a jet and we make a mistake, it could lead to some serious consequences.

Knowledge –  Just about anyone can ride a tricycle.  It doesn’t take much knowledge or training compared to that of an automobile or jet.  However, just having a pilot’s license isn’t enough to make you qualified to fly jets.  You need continuous and more strenuous training.

To move your business growth at jet speed:
  1. Create new or improve your current systems.  A jet moves faster than a propelled aircraft (or a tricycle) because of its systems.
  2. Create a dashboard of KPI’s (smart numbers or key performance indicators)  for your business to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of your systems.  If not, you might be in spiral spin downward and won’t know it until you crash.
  3. Continuously increase the knowledge of you and your team to run your systems better.

What is the Price of your Customer?


Knowing the answer to this question will help you to create an unlimited marketing budget. When I ask business owners if they know where their leads are coming from they usually say, “Yes, we ask every customer where they heard about us”.  I then ask to see the data of their results.
After squirming a bit, they tell me that the information is just in their head.  Let me be clear about this!  It is impossible to accurately measure this information in your head.  To get a clear picture of what media, headline, or offer is working, it is not enough to only ask how they found out about you, but you must also record the results.  If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it!
Money StackMarketing is all about “buying customers." By understanding and knowing the acquisition cost of a customer, you can begin to create an unlimited marketing budget and buy as many customers as you want.
So, how do you turn your marketing from an expense to an investment?  Measure and test your results.  For every dollar you spend on marketing, more should return. 
Let’s look at an example…
        1. You invested $1000 on advertising 
        2. You get 50 phone calls, then you are paying $20 per lead
        3. If you close 20% of those leads, you have 10 new customers 
        4. If your product sells for $200, you’ve just made $1000
RESULTS:

50 (Calls) x 20% (Closing %) = 10 New Customers
10 (new customers) x $200 (cost of product) = $2000 Revenue
$2000 (Revenue) - $1000 Advertising Investment = $1000 in Gross Profit
If every time you invested $1000 in advertising and, on average, you get 10 new customers and a return on your investment of $1000 profit, then you know the benefits of measuring your marketing results and creating that unlimited marketing budget. 
Understanding your customer acquisition cost will change your mindset and how you think about marketing forever.

Are you Burnt Out in your Business and Life?


With the challenges the economy has presented, many small business owners may find themselves working longer hours and trying to do more with fewer resources. This scenario can lead to burnout. How do you personally avoid burnout and (hopefully) establish a good balance between work and the rest of your life?
Funny character burnt out holding a cup of coffeeWell, what is the real cause of burnout?  You put in the effort, but you don’t feel that you are progressing. You’re just spinning your wheels.
To avoid burnout you must have:
  • Clarity 
  • Focus
  • Purpose

A lot of business owners seek out a business coach when they are burnt out.  By working with them to clarify their vision & purpose and at the same time creating worthwhile meaningful goals, I can help business owners become motivated and re-energized doing the same activities that made them feel burnt out in the first place.
If you stay focused on your goals, you will maintain your motivation and avoid burnout.

Looking to get more focused in your business?  Check out ActionCOACH of Jacksonville's Quarterly GrowthCLUB planning workshop.  This workshop allows business owners to get out of their business for a day to refocus, get energized, and leave with a written action plan to reach their goals for the next 90 days.  To find out the date of the next GrowthCLUB CLICK HERE

It's Time for Your Personal Break Through


As I am sitting here exhausted from all the preparation getting ready for the Jewish festival of Passover which begins tonight, I am reminded that success and happiness is not easy.  
Most of us are aware that the Jewish holiday of Passover occurs this time of year because the TV networks seem to always replay one of the most successful epic motion picture, of all time, The 10 Commandants starring Charlton Heston.  It’s the biblical story of how G-d took the Jewish people out of Egypt and took them to Mt. Sinai to receive the 10 Commandments and Torah.  This week Jews all over the world come together to remember and relive this historical event but if understood properly there can be many lessons in which we call all take away.
Passover is not a holiday commemorating an ancient event but a lesson to achieve true success & happiness in our lives.
The biggest lesson to take away from the holiday of Passover is that success takes hard work and preparation.  There are no short cuts to true success.  Passover is the holiday of freedom.  Jewish mystics teach us that Passover is not the holiday of freedom because the Jewish people were freed from their slavery in Egypt at that time, but that the holiday occurred then because it was a “time” of freedom.
If that is the case, every year there should be a universal energy that occurs now that we each can tap into.  This is a time for each of us to search deep inside ourselves to find the things or limiting beliefs that keep us in our rut or comfort zone and is keeping us from being as successful as we can.
When we search deep inside ourselves we will find the true source of our power and energy, and when we truly connect to this energy, we will be amazed in the abundant amount of good we can produce.
The Passover holiday is over week long.  The first days are about preparation and beginning on your path of success.   Change is not easy.  Whenever we try to change, it’s very easy to fall back into our comfort zone.  Making change last is what the last days of the holiday is all about.
The 7th day is when the Jews crossed the Sea of Reeds or commonly referred to as the Red Sea. Before they crossed and achieved their true freedom they faced a big obstacle.  They felt trapped; Pharaoh and his army where in hot pursuit and they were trapped at the Red Sea.  At this point some even thought that they should go back to Egypt (back to their comfort zone).  It was not until they refocused on their mission to go serve G-d on the mountain that things changed and it wasn’t until the water reached their nostrils that the sea began to split.
The lesson here is, when you are focused on your goal, what appears to be obstacles will split & provide you with a path to reach your goals.
Our biggest obstacle is our own limiting beliefs. Don’t focus on what you can’t do but what you can do. You’ll see the miracles appear in front of your own eyes.  How many times have we quit just before the moment of a great break though?  It’s almost scary to think about.
Jack Canfield sums it up in a formula from his book “Success Principles”.
E + R = O   Event + Response = Outcome
We all know the outcomes we want to achieve (though some of us have a clearer picture of that outcome than others).  But, there always seems to be some event or barrier that comes along and keeps us from journeying forward to our desired outcome.  Most of the time, we have no control over this event or the personal barrier that is put in front of us by ourselves or others.
The only thing we are in control over is how we respond to this event.  When we focus on the event or obstacle we lose focus and our desire to move toward our goal.  But, when we are focused on our outcome or goal, those obstacles that may appear to be as big as a whole sea that will soon split and allow us to truly break free and move toward our goal.
May this season of freedom allow you to break through to your success that is just waiting for you.

Good lessons are all around, even from a thief?

 Theif with stereo
There are teachers and lessons all around us.  One of the keys to having more success is being aware of everything around you. If you pay careful enough attention, you can learn how to be successful from some unexpected sources.

One reason many of us do not reach our goals is that we do not want them badly enough. Generally, goals come in 2 varieties.  There are the  “I would like to have” goals and  “I must have”.

If the reward for achieving the goal is not clear enough and great enough, or if the negative consequence is not great enough, we will not put forward the effort necessary to accomplish our goals.  It is an, “I would like to have” goal.

When we are in the “I must have” mindset, we will do whatever it takes to achieve a particular goal. The goal is clear and we remain focused on achieving it.  We do not allow obstacles and life’s  distractions to get in the way of accomplishing that goal.

The great Jewish sage Rabbi Meshulam Zusya of Anipoli, of blessed memory, learned a number of methods of serving G-d - from a thief. If we look at the habits of a thief, we can also see what it takes to be truly successful in life (in a positive way of course)...
  1. He works quietly without others knowing.
  2. He is ready to place himself in danger.
  3. The smallest detail is of great importance to him.
  4. He labors with great toil.
  5. Eager willingness or readiness, often manifested by quick, lively action
  6. He is confident and optimistic
  7. If he does not succeed the first time, he tries again and again
Keep your eyes open you never know whom you can learn from.

Wishing you much success,

Lead and they will follow, 3 tips to get your team to follow


52987main_geese Why do geese fly in formation?  Scientists found that it is for 2 reasons.  The first, is to conserve their energy.  There is less wind resistance flying in groups, enabling them to fly greater distances with less effort than birds flying solo.

The second reason is that they can easily keep track of each other. By contrast, pelicans who fly alone, beat their wings more often and have higher heart rates than geese.  

 As a leader in your company do feel like the goose or the pelican? 
 Is your team following your lead?
 Does your company or department run like a well oiled machine? 

If not, here are 3 tips to help you become the leader your employees want to follow…

1. Communicate EffectivelyTo be a good leader, you must first be a good communicator. Your team must clearly understand your vision, goals, and expectations in order to help you accomplish them.  True communication is the response that we get.  Good communicators watch for verbal and non-verbal clues that their messages are being received and understood.

This is especially important when starting a new initiative or adding a new team member.  Schedule enough time to review objectives thoroughly and foster an environment that encourages staff members to ask questions.  Have them mirror back what you have said to be sure they understand. 

I found that one of my clients was moving too quickly through new material.  I coached this client on taking frequent pauses when giving instructions  to make sure his team understood what he wanted before he went onto the next subject. Implementing this simple strategy improved his team’s effectiveness and his business’s profitability tremendously.

2. Lead by example
”A leader is one who knows the way, shows the way, and goes the way.” (John C. Maxwell)  Reflect on the words you use and actions you take in front of your team.  Do you pitch in with the “grunt” work during extra busy times?  Do you have stated work hours but, consistently show up late?  Does the quality of your work inspire your team? Be the rule you want your employees to follow not the exception.

3. Be Congruent
Apply the “golden rule.” It is impossible to build a positive, motivated team while possessing a negative attitude and treating others poorly.  Ever hear your boss speaking negatively about a co-worker?  Did you wonder what he was saying about you?  The bottom line is we need to be congruent as leaders.  Being respectful and appreciative of your employees will inspire them to treat each other and you with respect. 

To “BE” a leader, you must “DO” what leaders do and then you will “HAVE” that leaders have. Leadership comes from within.  Focus on making the internal changes necessary to become the person you want to “BE”,  that will inspire others to follow. The people around you will see the changes in your behavior, in your actions and in the decisions that you make. You will soon create a desire in others to follow your lead. Success is contagious.

You will also begin to see success is neither “yours” or “theirs”, it is “ours”.  When the lead goose gets tired, he falls back and lets a new leader take over. They all share in the work and in the success of getting to their migration point. A true leader knows it is not about “me” it’s about “us”.

As Zig Ziglar said,” You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.”

Wishing you much success,

Coach Steve

Mind Your Own Business

Man thinking How many times have you heard that?  Some of the synonyms listed for the word “mind” are, attention, tend, and take care of.  When sales are down, when key employees are leaving, when customer complaints are up,  there is a big temptation to look at what the competition is doing and react to that.

How many business owners say they started their business to beat the competition?  Most say they struck out on their own to be the best at what they do and deliver what their customers need. 

Watching the Olympics brought this idea home.  Many of the athletes interviewed said their primary goal was to achieve a personal best.  Jesse Owens, who won 4 Olympic gold medals in the 1936 games,  was quoted as saying, “the only victory that counts is the one over yourself.”

Business owners who push themselves to be better not only improve their business, they set the tone for the business, inspiring team members to do their best in delivering quality products and stellar customer service. 
This does not mean ignoring the marketplace. 

Runners focus on the finish line.  During the race, they may take a little peak at the other racers and go right back to keeping the finish line in their sights.  They understand that putting too much attention on their competitors splits their focus and can cost them the race.  Winning is achieved through improvements in individual and team performance.  This concept applies with businesses as well as individuals.

As motivational speaker Jim Rohn said, “You have to work harder on yourself than you do on your job”.  This type of mindset embraces playing to win.  Staying too focused on the competition is playing not to lose.  Playing to win keeps you minding your own business, staying focused on the goal you had when you started, to be the best at what you do.  Winning starts with a look in the mirror.

Wishing you much success,
Coach Steve

5 Keys to Understanding Success

Success I entered Business Success in the search engine on Amazon.com and found 64,320 paperback books, 22,753 hardcover books, 4,170 Kindle versions and 358 Audio books available.  

In addition, there are thousands of blog posts and other articles discussing the mystery of success. Each author staking a claim on knowing the “Secrets of Success.”  With so much written on the subject how can there be any more secrets?  How is it that so many people are wresting with success instead of basking in its glory? 

 Tom Hopkins defines success this way,  “Success is the continuous journey towards the achievement of pre-determined, worthwhile goals”.   In all of my research, this is the best definition I have found.    
 
Let’s take a closer look at the meaning of this power sentence.
  1. Continuous Journey – This first key is embracing the idea that achieving success is not a destination but a continuous process or journey.  Think about a baby who is  learning to walk.  Does he say,” Well, I took that first step, now I am done.”  No, he says, “ Wow! I took that first step, what’s next?”
  2. Towards – The second key is forward movement.  Successful people are constantly moving forward, towards what they want.  They set aside their fears, move around obstacles and keep going.
  3. Achievement – The key here is recognizing that success is not just one big triumph, but a series of small accomplishments along the way. Think about that baby again.  First, there was turning over, then crawling, then pulling up, then walking.  Each milestone is celebrated and inspires the next one.
  4. Pre-determined – I think of this key as thoughtful pursuit.  What you deem to be important.  Not someone else’s definition of success, not the “stuff” that happens along the way but, what you determine to be important.  It is also critical to establish the right path for you.  Some want the non-stop flight while others prefer travelling the country roads.  The destination is the same.  
  5. Worthwhile Goals – The last key is clarity on the “must have,” goals.  The goals we set that we will do anything in our power to achieve.  This is not to be confused with, “the things that must be done.”  If writing a book is the goal, research must be done.  However, if the author gets bogged down in doing research, the book does not get written.  Clarity is the key to setting those “must have” goals and performing the “must be done things,” that further the achievement of them.
Understanding these 5 keys will help unlock your secret to success.  Remember, as with any journey it is important to pack a lunch and wear comfortable shoes. 
Wishing you much success,
Coach Steve

What does attitude have to do with success? Everything!

happysad face What separates human beings from any other creations in this world? It is the ability to translate thoughts into the spoken and written word so that our ideas can be shared.

The spoken word gives us the ability to share our ideas and emotions with others, it builds community.  Synergy is created as we exchange words, allowing people to combine ideas and mulitply our strengths. 

Written words give us the ability to make permanent records, to create a history for future generations to study.  Hopefully, learning from the mistakes and building on the successes of those who came before them.

Is it possible to quantify the value of our words? In the Hebrew language each letter has a numerical value. Historically, Jewish sages have used these values to find hidden insights into words from matching the numerical values of the letters that make them up.

Can a similar connection be found in the English language? Could we find the secret to having the complete life that so many of us are in searching for? Can uncovering the numerical values of the letters in our words provide that answer?   With the help of a friend, this is what we discovered.

Each letter is assigned a corresponding number ....
A=1  B=2 C=3 D=4 E=5 F=6 G=7 H=8 I=9 J=10 K=11 L=12 M=13N=14 O=15 P=16 Q=17 R=18 S=19 T=20 U=21 V=22 W=23 X=24 Y=25 Z=26

Now let’s see what makes life complete or 100%....

Hard Work = H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+8+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
Knowledge = K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
Love = L+O+V+E = 12+15+22+5 = 54%
Luck = L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%

If it is not Hard Work, Knowledge, Love, or Luck, what is it?  What makes 100%?

Is it Money? ...No
M+O+N+E+Y =13+15+14+5+25 = 72%

Leadership? ...No
L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P = 12+5+1+14+5+18+19+9+16 = 89%

What is the one thing that we alone have the power to control?  The one thing we have the  power to change or improve that will make a difference in our lives?

ATTITUDE!
A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

It is our attitude toward our life and work that impacts 100% of our lives.  Whether positive or negative it is the attitude we adopt when facing the good and bad that affects everything.

Attitude is EVERYTHING! 

Change your Attitude...Change your Life!


Wishing you much success,

Coach Steve
