business coaching: Measuring Your Marketing - 11/15/08 08:06 AM
I just read an interesting post about YouTube. It was written by a service provider who was kind enough to share some valuable info on YouTube's reach (or potential reach). Like all good "salespeople", this blog poster gave something of value before expecting me to become a customer.

Ahhh...the power of the RedBox. What a killer concept, right? Oh, if only I'd though of it first! When I was in Japan a couple years ago everything was available through a vending machine.

Consider you're on an airplane flying to some remote island far away. You're comfortably seated in a large leather seat in first class, stretched out with your shoes off, a good drink and a friendly passenger next to you. You can't wait to get to the island and have a … (5 comments)

Team Work ROCKS!
Is team work part of your culture? Can you even have team work if you're a solo practitioner or an independent agent? I say YES. Team work to me is a not just about your business team...it's about alliances, cooperatives, networking groups, mentors and others who enrich my … (0 comments)

business coaching: Denis Waitley's Weekly Ezine - 08/27/08 09:53 AM
I always find some wonderful nugget of information and inspiration from some of the enewsletters I receive. While many of these newsletters are just marketing in disguise (and sometimes not in disguise), I still find great benefit from reading them.
Here's what I read today with great pleasure (after all, I … (1 comments)

business coaching: What Gets You Fired Up? Where is YOUR Coach? - 08/19/08 12:20 AM
If you don't already know about the wonder that is Michael Phelps, then you either don't get the news in any of its dozen various forms or you've been unconscious for the last week. I won't list Phelps' amazing accomplishments. It's sufficient to note that he's absolutely amazing...the best of the best, with a record … (8 comments)

business coaching: Small Business Problems? NOT YOU! - 08/15/08 11:18 AM
I just read an article on CNN.com about small businesses feeling the pain of this miserable economy. What a downer...if you let it! But as I read the article I was pleased to see some good suggestions how to survive this so-called recession.
Here's the article: http://money.cnn.com/2008/08/15/smallbusiness/smallbiz_optimism_down.fsb/index.htm?postversion=2008081510

business coaching: Why Business? (subtitle: Eagle Chamber of Commerce) - 08/12/08 09:57 PM
I "sponsored" the Eagle (Idaho) Chamber of Commerce luncheon today on about 12 hours notice. I love presenting to a crowd, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to support the chamber while sharing some valuable information with other business owners. My presentation was only about 10 minutes, but … (3 comments)

I'd really love some input here as I coach real estate professionals. I understand the fundamentals of a business such as real estate sales and mortgage lending. But I'm curious on a "street" level what all you AR experts think. I'm looking for real practical advice, not theory. I know there … (6 comments)

business coaching: Who's NICE in Your Corner? - 08/05/08 12:36 PM
I picked up a copy of How Tiger Does It by Brad Kearns at my local library. I thought (correctly) that there would be some information about coaching...since "even Tiger Woods" uses a coach...and he's the best there is.
Here's a short snippet from the book...this should get you thinking. Who … (3 comments)

business coaching: Measure and Test! Stop Wasting Ad Money! - 08/04/08 11:28 AM
It is important...no...it's actually critical with any marketing, advertising, or promotional campaign to "Measure and Test". This is the only way you'll be able to tell if a campaign works. And when you're talking about ads in the Yellow Pages (or worse, all seven hundred different Yellow Pages), you're talking about … (6 comments)
