Success Coaches - Are they worth their salt?
 |
|
Understand, that a Success Coach comes in many forms; they are not limited to NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Practitioners or Motivational Speakers. They could be someone in Sports, Entertainment, Internet Marketing, Network Marketing/ MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) Industry, Parents, Friends, or Psychiatrist.
The Williams Sisters (Venus and Serena) Father was a Success Coach to them, and lo and behold they became a Success. Puff Daddy/ P Diddy Mr Sean Combs CEO at Bad Boy Entertainment to the 2 Groups from making the Band Danity Kane and Day 26, even prior artist such as Biggie Smalls, Joedeci, Mary J Blige and Usher Raymond.
William E Bailey and Earl Schoaff Mentors to Jim Rohn (America’s Foremost Business philosopher) and Jim Rohn himself also a Success Coach and Mentor to Anthony Robbins, and Mark Hughes founder of “Herbal Life”. Robert Kiyosaki author of Rich Dad Poor Dad took the advice off of his Rich Dad and became Financially Free by selling the Financial Education that his Rich Dad taught him, you get the picture. |
It’s basically anyone that can help you to become successful; however the Self Help Gurus/Peak Performance Coaches in the Personal Development Industry are the ones who are one of the biggest if not the biggest advocates of that Success, Winning or Self Improvement (Mentally Improving)
Mentality.
They’ll teach you to develop your skills, because you are already talented, not like “Britain’s got Talent” or “America’s got Talent”, where they look for the Talent and have the Business Skills to make money off of them, and don’t bother focusing on developing the Persons Skills as that is not their Job; neither is it in their best interest from a Business standpoint, unless of course they are on the same side of the fence or share a common interest.
On the other hand, a Success Coaches’ Job is to teach people how to be a success primarily, and with that comes a certain Mind-Set that is not utilized by most people, and thus they help those who are set in their own ways to redirect their focus for more uplifting and prosperous ways with an attitude that’s geared towards being Successful.
“Don’t try change the wind or the Sea, just the Set of the Sail”.
We have a 52 ounce brain, and more often than not, we only use 7-10% of our brain power according to statistics. In actuality what is meant by this statement is that we only tap into a small percentage of our Mind Power, and it is the Mind that utilizes the physical apparatus to facilitate the thoughts by way of this mechanism or Master Organ we call the brain. The Mind is the most powerful force in the Universe because it is that which precedes all physical manifestation (Actions follow thoughts).
You’ll be given instruction on how to live your life of fulfillment (fill full the Mind/Mental) with useful thoughts which will allow you to use your imagination. Imagination means identifying an Image and if you look closely, you will see this word is composed of Image and Nation; and a Nation is the root word of Nationality and it is your Nationality that is used to Identify where you come from. So when you are using your imagination, it is an Image that comes from somewhere. That place is the Mental Bank (Collective Consciousness) which has its subsidiaries or Mind Banks (Individual Consciousness) that are a part of it.
You see the Mental is that which reacts with the Mind and the Mind is what feeds or taps into the Mental Bank or Reservoir where all thoughts come from allowing you to have those Images in the first place (Brain).
Why should I pay for the advice given by a Success Coach?
Any Product or Service that is of Value where you have to pay a fee is priceless by virtue of the benefits you are getting. It is a well known fact that people buy benefits, instead of features; well let’s take it a step further, PEOPLE BUY RESUTLTS. This is why it’s important to know what you are spending or getting you self into before you make a buying decision, as it can have dire consequences if the right one isn’t
made.
Hence the old saying “What you don’t know can’t hurt you” is wrong; what you don’t know can hurt you, because if you have the opportunity to know something is going to happen before it happens, and you have a chance to avoid or prevent it you will.
There’s has been an outbreak of a Deadly Virus called “Swine Flu” which has created a Pandemic and has the majority of the world in panic mode.
Now I’m not saying everything they perpetuate on the Television we should listen to, there is a lot of good going on the world that doesn’t get televised. To put it bluntly, Negative News sells; I’ll go in more depth about this another time maybe, but back to the point. The fact is that you’ve been made aware, and as a result have decided to take the necessary precautions to safeguard and protect yourself the best way you know how or from the advice that you’ve been given; and most of us know that prevention is better than cure. Watch the Movie “Knowing “starring Nicolas Cage and see what happens at the end to those that didn’t know or chose not to listen.
“If a man empties his purse into his Mind, His Mind will fill his Wallet”. Benjamin Franklin
If you are getting advice from family and friends or a professional or anyone else, and you get it for free, like most people, you’ll hear (Take it in) what they are saying, but won’t listen (adhere). In one ear and out the other; similar to the distinction I like to make between Truth and Reality.
The Truth is that most people will want the advice, but will not be willing to pay for it; even if they get it for free, they will hear the advice but won’t listen. Now let’s say you have to pay, and you are willing to do so, do you think you will more likely pay attention, or take action?
Of course, because you’ve taken your hard earned money and paid for it. What they say will be taken more seriously because there is a cost involved, that’s the reality; and in that the value of their time to speak you was not done in vain. By placing a value on time, it doesn’t leave much room for it to be taken for granted and if it is, it’s not yours or their loss thus fair to all.
Are there 24 hours in a Day ?
No because it is not Daylight for 24 hours, you’ll be lucky if it’s day light for 8 hours let alone 12 which would be more realistic like an equinox which means equal day and night.
I know we use this expression to make the average person aware of the People that become really successful, optimize the 24 hours that are allotted; that’s the general consensus. The 52 Weeks (Weak) according the Gregorian Calendar we follow make up 365 or 366 Days (Daze) a Year and Leap Year respectively.
Therefore our concept of time is illusionary, as it doesn’t allow us to keep an accurate record of what we are doing. Time is continuous without beginning or ending not Linear Time (Beginning to End). “When you love what you do and you do what you love, you’ll never work another day in your life as you know it” Confucius (with my twist added at the end) Is there really a Key to Success?
When thinking of it in a physical sense like Keys for the Home, Vehicle, Suit Case, Passport to go on Holiday/Vacation, Driver’s License, (Oh yeah, they are Keys too) then no because the Key to Success is Intangible, yet it still exists. Its conceptual nature evades even the greatest minds as it is not easily grasped, but still there and available to all.
It is the application of Knowledge to achieve your goals, and once you can harness this precept that lays dormant, the sky will never be your limit and you’ll be able to Soar Fearlessly like the Cosmic Bird (Phoenix). Knowledge is only powerful if it applies to you and you can use it to your benefit. Not all knowledge is applicable to everyone; it depends on whether the person feels they are going to gain or value from it. If it’s of any consequence then you should implement. Well done is better than well said, and Knowledge without application is a waste of its time.
Keys are just like tools, how you use them will determine the results so take care not to under use or misuse them like the mind.
“Faith without works is dead” James 2:20 Bible (Basic Information before Leaving Earth)
Did you know that there’s an Art and Science to being a Success?
We say a Leopard never changes their spots as a metaphor to describe the kind of nature (Animalistic) we have or at least a form of it, which would be our lower selves regressing or utilizing reverse knowledge. Yet we are high up on the evolution chart, have the potential and ability to grow into many things as we are composed of the very elements that make up the earth which is a part of the Universe that is constantly changing. I remember watching the Movie Rocky IV starring Sylvester Stallone at the end where he says “If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change”.
Universe is a combination of two words, Uni from Unus meaning one, and verse from vere to spiral out from a single point which means everything you see, smell, hear, feel, and taste started from a single point then expanded, grew or went away from its point of origin, hence Universe means against oneness.
There are often problems in a local community of some sort, again you find it is a combination of the two words Common and Unity, and when there is a need for a solution, it’s because of dissension or the people that are not getting along for whatever reason, shows there isn’t Common Unity; moving as one is not common.
We all have positive and negative in varying degrees like a battery’s charges, electromagnet (Electro = Negative Charge and Magnet = Positive Charge); Attract and Repel, Hot and Cold, Love and Hate Likes and Dislikes, Good and Bad, Left and Right, Up and Down, Yin and Yang, Centripetal and Centrifugal, Cause and Effect to name a few, which on the higher echelons or from a higher point of view is based on Universal Principles known as order that equates to balance as opposed to chaos.
However all is necessary or interrelated by necessity such as the plants that give off Oxygen, and take in the Carbon Dioxide which Humans give off both of which are essential to Humans and Plants to Survive.
We must not disregard or suppress our nature, but rather maintain balance because when we go to either extreme of one or the other is when it has an adverse affect. Take for instance someone who eats fish, which is often called brain food because of the oils and fatty acids it contains which is
relatively good for us, but can you imagine eating that every single day, after a while you’d get sick, and chances are you may not want to eat it again for a very long time.
Therefore we should exercise the positive, which is harder to do or be than negative. If we are to use the negative side, then we should redirect it in a positive way. The example has been explained like this: I love Happiness, I Hate Sadness, I Love Peace, I Hate War, I Love Success, and I Hate Failure.
