coaching: Posturing for success
- 08/16/13 06:31 AM
The first symptom was an audible “SNAP” and twinge of paralyzing pain in the left side of my neck as I was rinsing my hair in the shower. What followed was an unpleasant several months of a variety quirky symptoms . . . Shooting pains down my left arm, continued discomfort in my neck, and some of the craziest random pains in my back apparently most aggravated while sitting. Stubborn me (who doesn’t like going to doctors) endured these symptoms with Heroic bravado . . . thinking all the while that I could heal myself doing what I knew to do in … (1 comments)
coaching: Do you SELL? CONSULT? LEAD? or WHAT?
- 08/14/13 11:40 AM
The semantics are fluid . . . Ask any gaggle of people whose profession is “in sales” what they do for a living, and you’ll hear a veritable smorgasbord of responses. So which is it? In my industry, I tend to use the blanket term “Real Estate Sales Professional” which I think is plenty descriptive and offers a measure of respect and honor for the hardworking, ethical members of our profession. Other titles out there? Affiliate Broker Sales Associate Real Estate Consultant Trusted Real Estate Adviser Real Estate Advocate Real Estate Broker Real Estate Specialist Exclusive Real Estate Buyer Agent and … (3 comments)
coaching: Why mastery of the fundamentals is so essential
- 01/26/13 02:46 AM
Today, our Basketball Coach (Famous Marmolejo) had a work related conflict and couldn’t be present for our 1st game. He asked me if I could coach the game. My first thought was sheer panic because I really had not paid close attention to his plays and strategies during the practices and had a high level of trepidation being able to orchestrate a smooth game. I was worried that my ineptitude could handicap the team. It didn’t! Before the game, I pulled a few players aside and asked them to brief me on their understanding of the plays. Each player KNEW … (2 comments)
coaching: Your Daily TOP TEN (A Wealth Building Strategy)
- 11/13/12 04:15 AM
Everyone wants that secret to getting RICH! Bajillions of dollars are generated every year by smart people (Like Trump and Buffet and other well known business coaches) who have bottled their Business and Wealth Building strategies into “Coaching Programs” which you can buy off the shelf or hire them to hold you accountable as your coach. Most folks who buy these programs don’t get rich because of the program. In fact, most folks who buy those programs don’t even open the box after buying it at the seminar much less implement many (or ANY) of the brilliant ideas and strategies. I have my … (2 comments)
coaching: Practicing the fine art of doing what NO-ONE else is doing! #in
- 04/19/12 11:28 PM
Innovators take a LOT of risk. They adapt to new technologies before anyone else . . . try new techniques . . . introduce wildly unique products and services . . . and often do all of tthese things in a “zero Basis” environment. “Zero Basis” simply means that there’s no quantifiable measure or proof that this new way/gadget will actually work. In fact, it might just FLOP! Yet, they unabashedly try (Test) EVERYTHING . . . Innovators know what to do with “FLOPS” . . . they learn from it and move on. When it’s NOT a flop, it’s HUGE!

coaching: Potential Energy and your career . . . #in
- 10/12/11 03:01 AM
What’s your potential? REALLY! How powerful are YOU? Do you know? How do you know? Are you as “successful” as you want to be? I don’t mean “Successful” by other people’s standards, I mean successful by YOUR standards. What can you do to tap into more of your potential and perform in life at a higher level? I think the best place to start is to understand the MEANING of “Potential Energy” . . . Read the below paragraph more than once to get the real essence of “Potential Energy” from wikipedia Potential energy exists when a force acts upon an object that tends to … (3 comments)
coaching: TOP TEN ways you know you need a coach. #in
- 03/10/10 11:50 AM
Everyone needs a coach, mentor or role model. Just ask any successful person, and most will tell you they had a goal . . . then sought out someone who they perceived to have already "Arrived" in that field of endeavor . . . and took action by following that person and/or hiring them as a mentor or coach. Most people won't do this because most people believe they can do this "all by myself!" Success leaves clues! No need to reinvent the wheel. While walking the dog this morning, it occurred to me that there are SO many people out … (1 comments)
coaching: Doctor's orders . . .
- 11/11/08 10:05 PM
"Make 2 appointments and call me in the morning" Do you have anaccountability Partner? Is there someone in your world who has permission to know what you are "supposed" to be doing with your time while at work? Do you actually DO the right stuff while at work? Do you track your efforts AND your results? Then . . . Do you report those numbers at least weekly to this accountability partner who is not afraid to challenge you when you're not "on goal"? If not . . . WHY? Is what you're doing now working perfectly? Enough leads, appointments, listings, and closings … (2 comments)
