Are you still a bit unsure of how to turn that into a business? And… are you overwhelmed by everything you now must do to be successful at creating a thriving business? On today's call, we spoke with Melinda Cohan, President *& Co-Founder, of The Coaches Console and "Expert in the Business of Coaching." We discussed the secrets that top coaches and business owners use to attract top-quality clients. Melinda walks you through the secrets that top coaches and business owners use to attract top-quality clients . You will walk away with very specific and tangible things you can integrate into your business immediately. Coaching is a calling, a gift a purpose. The Business of Coaching is the vehicle in which we get to coach our clients and help more people. The Secret will empower you to unleash your purpose in your business so you can boldly, passionately and with a lot of success do more of what you love! Here is what a new coach had to say about setting up the Key systems as she started her coaching practice:
During her successful career in interior design, Melinda witnessed how bringing subtle amounts of organization to an environment could positively impact the people inhabiting the space. “When your work environment is disorganized”, reflects Melinda, “it’s a tremendous drain of mental energy. There’s something about having clarity and control over all the loose ends that makes a person feel confident to handle situations.” After she experienced success in her own coaching practice, it wasn't long before her desire to organize systems and methods led her to the partnership that would result in The Coaches Console. “I spent time exploring the best methods to accomplish all the various aspects of running a successful coaching practice, and it really got easier once all of that effort started to pay off. It helped me create 18 full paying clients in only six months. I knew that if I had to perform certain administrative tasks as a coach, that other coaches were doing similar activities. I also know not everybody has those organizational skills – or enjoys using them to the same extent. I had already done much of the work, so it made sense to find a way to share it with others.” Soon the team began exploring technology that would allow other coaches to utilize the methods they had developed, and The Coaches Console quickly moved beyond the drawing board and became reality. “I love the fact that The Coaches Console lets coaches enjoy their profession more fully,” Melinda says with a satisfied smile. “It helps them focus on clients, not paperwork.

The Artist’s Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity is a book, by Julia Cameron and Mark Bryan, which has changed the lives of millions of people. It deals with unblocking and unleashing the creativity in all of us, not just those of us who see ourselves as artists. It is about recognizing that as creations ourselves, we, in turn, are meant to create, in whatever way we are called to do so. This could mean a wide variety of things, such as painting, sculpting, or singing professionally. It could also mean making a soul-warming soup, arranging flowers to your heart’s delight (and to the delight of others), presenting a winning sales pitch, or writing the brief that wins the case. This groundbreaking work offers “tried and true” tools for dealing with tough issues such as procrastination, perfectionism, anger, and fear. It also proposes many innovative ideas and “perspective-shifts” to assist the reader along the way. And lastly, much of the work is pure fun! The 13-week course, The Artist’s Way, as presented by Certified Life Coach Laura Biering of True Voices, Inc., is based on this powerful book, as well as her own experiences as a once-blocked opera singer! A former student of Laura’s has said, “It is money you cannot afford not to spend.” So take this enlightening, empowering, and enjoyable class ~ and see for yourself!

They have perfected a layered group of skills that change your life into the life that you always dreamed about. Having the proper tool is the secret to changing anything. That tool is the 3D Mind tm. Simply put, the 3D Mind tm removes anything in your life, behavior or beliefs that block you from being able to achieve. You look at the world through the window of your mind. When that window gets mucked up with garbage beliefs the whole world looks like garbage. To be able to achieve you need to clean those windows.

Small Steps to Big Results (SS2BR) is the next generation of learning where virtually any type of educational or training program can see improved results for the end user. Our method uses simple five to ten minute lessons (small bites) with a patent pending accountability process that works. Our Mission We are building a library of educational and training programs that can be delivered via email. Each email is a small step towards completion of a program. Within each email is our virtual coach, offering you options to continue taking single steps towards your goal of completion. Taking a small step forward as part of each email lesson helps you achieve your goal of program completion. This is our mission: "Take Small Steps to Big Results." One Bite at a Time Have you ever heard the adage "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time”. Small Steps to Big Results (SS2BR) is a web based tool that helps solve the educational and training problem by delivering learning material through emails or the web in small five to ten minute time increments with a personal accountability tool, our virtual coach, that helps you hold yourself accountable to completion. If, for any reason, you fall behind in the series of lessons our virtual coach can coax you back on track. Studies have shown that many people are willing to start an educational or training program, but fully 87% experience issues with completion. To help bridge this gap, our virtual coach can gently guide you towards staying with the program and finishing. Our model allows for existing content owners to use our wizard template and to parse their content into small lessons (usually requiring no more than five to ten minutes of the subscriber's time). However, we also provide program owners an accountability methodology that allows them to customize responses to non-compliance from the subscriber.

Wendy honed her gift of vision with 13 years of experience in sales and coaching for the Neill Corporation, the largest Aveda distributor in the world. Supporting the dreams of salon and spa owners in and around Atlanta was her introduction to the power of coaching. Wendy continued her growth process, becoming a Certified Professional Co-active Coach in 2001 through The Coaches Training Institute. At this time, Wendy realized that her passion was fueled by her role as a catalyst in the personal and professional development of people. Wendy established her own business, PassionFruit™ Creative Business Grower, in 2003. Her coaching sessions are offered by phone or in her Decatur office, with all of the exuberance and passion that you would expect from a woman living her dreams by helping others learn to live theirs. She provides training for entrepreneurs, offers many different tools and exercises to evaluate leadership attitudes and skills, and shares a variety of approaches to awaken the leader within. She implements innovative and fun approaches to teambuilding with her small business clients. One of her juiciest offerings is guidance in learning how to create a Strategic Attraction Plan. This plan is THE tool that attracts perfect customers and/or employees to small business owners. Wendy, always on the cutting edge, was among the first group to be certified as Strategic Attraction Coaches in April 2006. “Being with Wendy is the catalyst to your own personal 'Aha!'. Your passion becomes her passion and you begin to see clearly where you’re going and how you’re going to get there. And the beauty is that you know it’s going to be fun, authentic, and truly your perfect vision.” Michelle Gregg, Counseling Astrologer Also, if you know of a Business Coach that we should know about, please email BevAnn Bonds at Info @ B- Support Solutions.com.

Lee Kantor is also the host of the popular Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy Show and several other Atlanta-based radio shows. Today we spoke with Paula Reik of GoldCore Business Concepts . GoldCore Business Concepts specializes in helping small to medium size businesses improve their bottom line performance through employee and management development. The goal is to help companies improve their overall performance and revenue through increased productivity, reduced turnover, improved employee and customer satisfaction, and the development of superior managers and leaders. Paula began her business career at East River Savings Bank in New York City. In her 20+ years of corporate experience since then she has worked for such major international corporations as Bendix International and Eastman Kodak.
As an International Marketing Manager for Bendix she gained manufacturing and international exposure, having worked closely with a domestic manufacturing division and with the international field sales organization. At Eastman Kodak – Business Imaging, Paula had the responsibility of working with a wide range of organizations including Blue Cross-Blue Shield, Delta Airlines, Bank of New York, Russell Sportswear, VHA of Georgia Hospitals, Primerica, and with many other large and smaller sized corporations and government agencies. Most recently Paula brought her experience and expertise to The Whole Life Health Center, a small family owned business as the Marketing Director and Office Manager. Paula’s mission is best stated by her - “My mission is to help improve business performance through employee and management development. I have chosen to work with the small to medium size business community because I know that these businesses face the same personnel challenges that large corporations deal with but don’t always have access to the same level of training remedies. Management skills are just as important for a small to medium size business owner or manager as they are to any manager within a large corporation. Personnel issues are sometimes even more critical to deal with in a smaller business because each individual has a larger impact on the overall performance of the organization.” Also, if you know of a Business Coach that we should know about, please email BevAnn Bonds at Info @ B- Support Solutions.com.

It’s Only Worth the Results You Get Flashes of intuition, bending tableware with your mind, in truth, it’s little more than unusual fun and games — that is, until we learn how to capture that power to truly transform our lives. In the arena of personal and professional development, the same worn-out motivational solutions have received face lifts, new names, been hashed, rehashed, and beat to death. The results they offer are, at best, fleeting. Face it, if it was working, we wouldn’t still be looking. The promising news is there is uncharted territory out there and it is offering unprecedented possibilities. When you are ready for real change, at the deepest levels, Mitzi offers exceptional, and exceptionally effective, solutions for companies and the people who drive them.

John’s desire to help business owners is in his blood. He has always been surrounded by entrepreneurs. His grandfather, father, brother, an uncle, an aunt and sister-in-law have all been or are small business owners. He has seen it, heard it and experienced it firsthand. Now He is experiencing it by providing the help and outside perspective his family all wished they had received.
