One of the key traits many million-dollar business owners share is the ability to make decisions quickly and to take appropriate, timely action. However, making decisions quickly doesn’t mean that the person is reckless. Instead, it means the million-dollar business owner is willing to invest in opportunities and take calculated risks. There are a lot of risks in developing a million-dollar business, and right now is one of the riskier times in recent U.S. history. Many of us have been burned over the past few years, and a lot of us have lost our previous investments—but that doesn’t mean that we need to stop playing the game just because we had some failures. As one of my previous mentors used to say, “The game is always on!” It’s true; the game of success does not stop. It doesn’t wait. It doesn’t slow down. It doesn’t care if you lost all your money in real estate, your house, and your job. The game of success goes on.

            In the last Million-Dollar Business Strategies and Secrets event, I asked the audience to give me their reasons why we should all be striving to develop a million-dollar business. After the expected answers like peace of mind, lifestyle, comfort, and security, finally the best answer of all popped up: WHY NOT? 

            There’s no benefit to playing small. When I ask business owners why they are not pushing to grow their businesses, the answer I hear is usually some manifestation of a fear. For example, growing the business may mean hiring more staff, which means additional headaches associated with managing a team. This avoidance of an uncomfortable outcome—translated as fear—stops their growth and, consequently, drops the anchor on their ship sailing towards their dreams of peace of mind, a comfortable lifestyle, and security.

            The reality is that there are so many ways to work around our fears about massive business growth, no matter what they are, but we have to first make the decision that we are committed to having what we want—everything we want—and then just keep our eyes, ears, and hearts open to discovering and allowing the killer opportunities to come our way.

            As I said before, great business minds—those same people who tend to have all of the time, money, and freedom we wish we had—are the type of people who are willing to invest in opportunities and take calculated risks. In today’s economic condition, the absolute best place to invest is in our own knowledge. The game has changed in the past few years. There are new rules, and the way we used to play the game to become successful is not always the best path today. We must invest our time, energy, and finances into gaining the knowledge of how to more effectively play the game the way it is being played right now.

            So keep your eyes peeled, your ears tuned, and your heart open for those killer opportunities to gain valuable knowledge and insight that could change your life forever. And take advantage of those killer opportunities. Drop whatever else you’re doing and go for it.

“Hello bank, it’s me calling. Yes, I will be depositing truckloads of money today. Please be ready!!”

Want to hear something cool that happened to me this weekend. I was sent a message from a friend with five words that absolutely inspired me. She said, “Have an EXTRA amazing weekend.” Pretty simple really, I mean, people share encouraging thoughts with me all of the time. I often read closing comments to emails or voice messages with “have a great day” or “make it a great day” (I really like that one), but for some reason these five words caught me in a special way and I thought to myself, “you know what, I’m just going to do that. I’m going to make sure this weekend is more than good, fun, and amazing, I’m going to go out of my way to make sure that it is EXTRA amazing.”

I talk a lot about mindset with my clients when we’re working on reaching business and money goals that are big, exciting, and are well outside of their comfort zone. Not just the way that we think, but what we think, and what we actually, consciously, deliberately, and purposefully create as our thoughts. Our mindset and what we think makes the entire world we live in shift. And this shift can completely expand or even shrink the results that are possible.

I’m typically a positive outlook type of person and heading into this weekend it was almost as if I was taking my positive outlook for granted. I just figured I would have a nice, relaxing, and fun weekend with some friend and family and I never really gave it much thought. Until those five words smacked me in the face like a water balloon on a hot summer day… “Have An EXTRA Amazing Weekend!!!” I immediately changed my thinking, I consciously altered my thoughts, and I focused my energy on how I could actually create something extra amazing out of every situation. Not only was it amazing, but it felt unbelievably good.

So, I don’t know if you had an extra amazing weekend like I did, but I sure hope you did. And regardless I’m sending you this message first thing this week to offer these same five words of inspiration in hopes that you will create a way to have an EXTRA AMAZING week.

COACH TROY

If you’ve ever asked the question, what impact can a good coach really have on my business? I have a simple answer that came to me after an experience of the hardest I’ve ever worked for the easiest deal I’ve ever closed.
One of the best clients I’ve ever had came about in a very unique way. I’ve always done the majority of my marketing through word of mouth, and up to this point, I can count 99% of my business back to a referral from another client or friend. In this business, referrals are important, as they really cut down on the time it takes to build the relationship. I’ve had numerous clients who’ve come on board after one meeting simply because someone they trust implicitly recommended me highly. They barely even asked a question of me aside from, “So, to whom do I make out the check?” However, in this case, it was a little more work.

I was sent a referral from a client, Annie, to a colleague of hers, Paul. Paul was the head of a successful manufacturing company and not an easy guy with whom to schedule even an hour of time. However, after one phone call, Paul immediately and eagerly agreed to meet with me. We scheduled to meet at a Starbucks next to his office. After the initial pleasantries, I began asking my usual sort of investigative questions. Just like a medical doctor, before I try to make any sort of assessment as to how I can help a business, it’s important that I get a good picture of exactly what’s going on in the organization. So I started in with my questions.

“Paul, tell me about what’s going on with your business,” I asked.

“Well, everything is going pretty well, I’d say. We’re growing faster than we ever have, our staff is awesome, we’re generating great profits, and I’m working less. Overall it’s really good,” he answered, about as excited as a five-year-old at an ice cream shop. So I went a little deeper.

“Well, that sounds great. Are there any major challenges you are dealing with right now?”

“Actually we’re doing pretty well; no major problems. Worked through a few recently, but they’re all behind us and we’re moving forward and right on track,” he said calmly.

Let me paint a picture of my goals for asking these kinds of questions with a potential new client. One of the major elements I’m looking for is a gap between where they are and where they want to be. By initially asking them to share what is happening, then about what challenges they are facing, I get to hear right away about any immediate needs they have. It’s great to hear that there aren’t any pressing issues; however, that’s usually an uncommon response. Most people don’t even think about meeting with a coach unless there’s some sort of issue they are working towards. In this case, on the surface, Paul didn’t appear to have any issues. I was excited for him, but I wanted to know a little more so I went a little deeper. “So, what are your visions, goals, and objectives for growth over the next year?” I asked.

Paul went on to explain in great detail about what he wanted for the company, where he was going, what the goals were, what he anticipated as problems and challenges, and even how he was planning to deal with them. I fired off a few more questions checking his strategies for carrying all this out. He had those pretty solid too. So I went into the staff, finances, accountabilities, and communication; all good. I kept saying over and over, “Well that sounds great.” After about twenty minutes of inquiry, I was wondering why the heck this guy agreed to meet with me. His time is way too valuable, and he just wasn’t the type of guy who would take an hour just to chat with a business coach without some sort of intent. So finally, I decided I better just ask the obvious, and I said, “Okay, I give up. Everything in your business seems to be exactly like you want it, you’re happy about where you are, and officially you’re doing great, so why on earth did you want to meet with me?” His response blew my mind.

“Well, I figured if it could be this good without a coach, I was just wondering how good it could be if I had a coach helping me?” Whoa! Now that’s the type of thinking that gets you to the top of your game and then some. IF I COULD BE THIS GOOD WITHOUT A COACH, I WONDER HOW GOOD I COULD BE IF I HAD A COACH?

I instantly changed my approach and we began talking about upgrading everything. Needless to say, he hired me right there on the spot and we began working immediately. We took his current goals and targets and ramped them up to a point where he started to get nervous. We challenged his current staff, his leadership, his systems and structures, and we pushed the envelope to a point where he had to grow in a way he’d never imagined before. That was the hardest I’ve ever worked for the easiest deal I’ve ever had.

Now back to your question, “what impact can a good coach really have on my business?” The simple answer is it all depends on you and your own mindset. I refer to one of my favorite quotes from one of the greatest business men ever Henry Ford, “”Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” If you think a coach will have an impact, then there’s a whole world of possibility and opportunity out there for you and you will experience breakthrough results. If you think it won’t, you’re right on that account too. It doesn’t matter if you’re business is struggling, if you are riding a massive wave of success like Paul, or anywhere in between. The truth is it’s really all up to you. If you want to play big, if you want to grow your business fast, if you want to build a strong and effective team, if you want to have a powerful mindset and focus, and if you want to have the strength, skill, and ability to overcome everything. Then put the structure in place to give you the absolute best possible chance for success. There’s a lot of evidence supporting business coaching, but none of it matters until you make your own decision. Yes it will, or No it won’t. Your choice!!

Or, perhaps you don’t think you need one with a small business.

Here’s a little secret from the work I do with my clients to create big success (just take a look at the testimonials below of people who have attended this program and are having the best months in their business ever). The first thing I look for is an effective strategic plan…or any plan at all.

Once they get an effective plan the chain reaction of producing big results begins.

Work gets easier
Results come faster
Pressure releases
The cloud of confusion and uncertainty lifts
Fun occurs!!
