Why I Do What I Do

I love coaching! I approach every new client with enthusiasm because I know I can take them to the next level... and beyond. I know if they stick with me, they'll have what they want in life. I work with people who are looking for more fulfillment in their lives, whether it's to enhance a life that's already satisfactory, or to implement a complete lifestyle or career change. I excel in coaching people from the inside out - making the internal changes as well as the external. My unique coaching process sparks insights, increases personal power and expands my clients' ability to create what they want in a way that lasts a lifetime. 

I'm also a very practical and down-to-earth coach. I help clients organize and prioritize everything in their lives, from balancing home and work, to managing a family. And while they're getting organized, they learn how to stop procrastinating, get out of overwhelm and make time for self-care.

Just as in coaching, I have brought that same desire and passion into my writing and speaking. It's not just a career for me but it's a way to leave a great impact on this world.

Are You A Pig

Now I know many of you are reading this because of the title. So Are you? Are you a pig?

Let me ask it this way, Are you Persistent? Are you Informative? Do you have Goals? If your answer is "YES" to all the questions, then I must ask one more question. What are you going to do about it?

Recently, I read that there are three elements in the sales-prosperity troika. They are Persistence, Information and Goals. Good selling is good management. Put even better is it good SELF management. A person that has good management of time, self and resources is well on their way to getting the promotion, starting the company, getting that mate or having that child. Whatever your dream is, you must have a good management system behind you and in front of you if the truth must be told.

Again, I ask you are you a P.I.G.?I talk to many individuals who say they don't need a coach but I hear in their statements that they are all over the place. They are inconsistent, stressed, stretched and basically running in circles. They have what it takes to achieve their goals, they just have not written anything down or if they have written it down they are not following their own plan. If this is you? Don't worry we all have those moments in our lives. We want to live the dream but the dream seems to be just outside of our grasp and we are settling (Whether we think we are or not) for less.

Let me help you, if you have not already, STOP running in circles and get organized. Write down your short-, medium-, and long-term goals and objectives. I suggest 1 month, 3 month, 6 month, 1 yr and 5 yr plan to start off with. In your plan you should have salary, career/business, education, house, car, family, vacations, how you will help others. You can add items to make it more personal to you. You will want to update these goals and objectives often. This means don't just write them and then walk away, put it somewhere where you can see them daily.

I guarantee you do this and you will start to see manifestation of your goals and objectives. Holding ambitions in thought like this daily can cause them to fulfill themselves almost miraculously! Don't believe me? I dare you to try it and not deviate from your plans or skip steps. Remember if you work the plan, the plan will work. Go ahead and be a PIG!

Ask For What You Deserve!

Listen, when you start a business or go into that performance review, everyone is counting on you to have issues with money. Meaning, they are all hoping that you will not ask for what you deserve. If you don't ask for the raise the company saves money. Or they may even use the recession as a means to discourage you. Now I admit many companies were hit hard and to stay afloat they had to tighten their belts. However, Can you see a way to help them with their bottom line? Then go in and ask for that raise with your head held high.  IF you have started a business. your knowledge is valuable. You have gone to school, read books, learned some of life toughest lessons to acquire that knowledge. You have cultivated that skill with many hours, days, weeks, months and years of focused attention. Don't be afraid to show the confidence in your acquired skills.

Many times we don't ask because we don't want things to change. We dont want to put people in an uncomfortable space. However, we cant pay our bills, our family is suffering with less than the best and our dreams are not being manifested. Listen to this, the one who ask for what they deserve, will get it. There is someone out there that understands your worth and they are willing to pay. Those that are not ready are not the ones you should be concerned with. I was once told, "My ideal client is willing and ready to pay." I fought that statement when it was said but now I understand. Me short selling my products and knowledge was not doing me any favors. I worked hard for it. Now I was willing to give it away for free or less than I should.

If you have put in the work, you have paid the piper then it is time for you to ask for what you deserve. Again, if they are not ready to give you what you ask for, someone else is waiting in line that will. So start here, recognize your worth and then ask for it. DO not settle for less. In the end you will get less than what you settled for. I know it can be scary but what is more scary, settling and nothing changing, your family struggling, your dreams dying and those that are waiting on you not receiving the help they need. OR ... asking for what you deserve and changing not only your life but the lives of those you come in contact with.
