The Coaches’ Coaching Circle has added a new educational series. We have invited the most dynamic, successful leaders in our industry to speak with coaches each month. This opportunity gives coaches an opportunity to learn first-hand what action steps are needed to build profitable coaching businesses.
The first presenter was Dave Buck, Master Certified Coach and CEO of CoachVille.
My take-away from Dave’s presentation. He spoke about how we grew up in the Industrial Age and worked for compensation by completing tasks. No wonder we are unhappy and looking for something else. Things are changing we are coming into the Inspiration Age (Dave’s term). Where we will play and find joy again.
When playing we will be compensated for giving value, have fun, receive results and wealth.
The object of the Game is to have an objective/purpose and daily focus on Visibility, Enrollment and Fulfillment. Also, treat challenges as a good thing and find solutions.
My Daily Plan
- Visibility: Write an article, communicate through Social Media and attend scheduled networking events and teleclasses.
- Enrollment: Promote the Coaches’ Coaching Circle, Coaches’ Mentoring Circle and Morning Action Call.
- Fulfillment: Reach out to coaches and brainstorm ideas.
Your Turn
What daily steps are you going to initiate while playing the Game? I can’t wait to hear from you and let’s support each other.
For those of you on the call please let me know your thoughts and if I missed anything. My email address is helen@loveyourselfcoaching.net.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Letting the world know about “You” can be very frightening
“Get all the education you can,
but then, by God, do something.
Don’t just stand there;
make it happen.”
~ Lee Iococca
Reading Lee Iococca’s quote reminded me of when I first graduated from iPEC Coaching School and kept signing up for more trainings. I kept thinking I was not ready to go out there and coach. What if I did not ask the right questions, gave too much advice? The list goes on and on.
One day during a coaching session, my coach said in a very strong voice, “It is enough with the different trainings, just go out there and coach.” I became very defensive and explained why I needed more trainings. She did not want to continue the conversation and asked, “What were my next steps for marketing my coaching practice?” It was the greatest gift anyone ever gave me.
Once I started coaching clients my confidence grew and eventually I knew in my heart that I was a great coach. Taking that first step and letting the world know about “You” can be very frightening.
Let’s take a deep breath and take that leap! We are all in this together.
Some simple small steps you can take to overcome your FEAR. By the way, fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
- Meditate for a few moments and think about one step you have been putting off over and over again. Example: Presenting a Workshop.
- Sit there and let all your fears surface.
- Think about the fear that constantly pops up all the time. Example: I am afraid no one will sign-up for the workshop.
- Take a deep breath and take in sunshine.
- Let your breath out and let all the fears go.
- When you feel comfortable open your eyes.
- Write in your journal about your constant fear and solutions to the dilemma. Example: No one will sign-up for the workshop. One of the solutions that surfaced was to have the workshop in my home and invite friends and family.
This solution is not a cop-out! It could be a way of practicing and getting feedback so your next workshop will be easier.
- Create plans, send invitations and enjoy the process.
Let the Love Yourself – It Matters! Community know about your project and how we can support you. We are all in this together.
Dave Buck has a simple, clear message that will help you play big this year… in your life and work. How do I know this? I heard Dave speak at a recent gathering and I implemented what he suggested as soon as I got home. I can honestly say, what he suggests WORKS! And it really works well. DAILY I take clear action steps to help grow my business.
If you are at all familiar with Dave Buck, he is entertaining and we all could use a bit of laughter in our lives!

Play BIG in the World
Are you ready to play BIG in the world?
Playing BIG in the world means that you are fully expressing your talents and gifts in a way that adds maximum value to the lives of others while bringing joy and true wealth to your life at the same time! It means you wake up every day ready to play with purpose to create possibility vs. going to work on tasks and problems.
To play BIG you have to be willing and able to step up and stand out! You have to be willing to take a risk and be seen and known for who you really are and then boldly share your value with colleagues and customers. You must be clear about your value to others and live true to your purpose in the world. It is challenging, engaging and thrilling at the same time.
The Spirit of Play is the key!
One key to playing BIG in your business or career is to energize your game with the spirit of play! With the spirit of play you tap into a major human energy source that releases your creativity, resourcefulness, resilience and desire to have fun doing what you do. When you do this on a daily basis, you attract opportunities because the people around you are drawn to the energy.
Based on our fundamental understanding that all humans are born with the ability AND desire to play we developed a fundamental theory that ANY endeavor in life can be played as a winnable game. We call our method Play- Two-Win tm because as a coach you only win when your player wins and as a player you only win when your whole team wins. This becomes another point of attraction because people will love playing on your team because they know that you are playing for them to win also.
Traditional methods for coaching and personal growth are often not effective because they are focused on working on tasks and problems. We know that humans learn, grow and produce results better when they are playing and enjoying what they do. So if you want to play BIG in the world AND coach people who desire to play big in the world, you MUST learn this method.
This powerful playshop is designed for coaches AND anyone ready to play BIG in the world.

This last Sunday there was a football game: the New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles defeated the Giants, 38-31, after being down 24-3 at halftime. The Eagles came back in the second half and DeSean Jackson, Eagles wide receiver, scored the winning touchdown within the final seconds of the game.
Everyone was in shock. No one expected the Eagles to win the game.
What can we learn from this situation? Keep going. You never know what can change within seconds.
I would like to tell you a little story. For the past 8 years I’ve been coaching many clients and I was continuously searching for my niche. Even though most of my clients were coaches, I would not acknowledge the fact I was a Coaches’ Coach. Like the Eagles, I kept playing my game and went from niche to niche. I was a Recovery Coach, a Relationship Coach, a Retirement Coach and a Get Off the Diet Merry-Go-Round Coach.
Finally, after soul searching and working with my own coach, I realized my niche had found me. I am a Coaches’ Coach. My mission is “To support coaches to build prosperous businesses while loving themselves.”
Sometimes we feel the climb is uphill and other times we are surprised by the responses we receive.
Keep stepping out of your comfort zone, taking action steps, get a coach and you’ll see that within seconds things can change.
Please share with the Love Yourself – It Matters! Community what circumstances have changed, within seconds, while following your path.
The end of the year is approaching. Have you been thinking about 2010 and what has been accomplished?
I was working with my coach the other day and she asked me about my achievements in 2010. My first line of defense was that I just maintained my coaching practice and not really moved forward. After taking a deep breath, I reminded myself about the wonderful opportunities that presented themselves during the year.
During 2010, Love Yourself Coaching moved forward and experienced many achievements. The one that has brought me the most pleasure was discovering Love Yourself Coaching’s Mission. Its mission is to support coaches in loving themselves while they build prosperous businesses.
Below is a little exercise that will support you in reminding yourself about the opportunities and miracles that presented themselves in 2010. Read over the steps and complete the exercise. Remember there is no right or wrong.
· Take a deep breath and let your mind wander.
· After a few seconds start focusing on your breathing.
· When you feel relaxed, think about 2010.
· Focus on one moment that brought you joy. Was it working with a client, rolling out a new program, etc.
· Live that moment and feel the excitement.
· Let the thoughts go and just relax.
· When you are ready open your eyes.
· Write about the experience in your journal, or call a friend and share the experience or brag about it in the Love Yourself – It Matters! Community comment section below.
I am looking forward to working together in 2011. Let’s start a Coaching Movement to increase the business prosperity for each and every coach.
“If your ship
doesn’t come in,
swim out to it.”

Speaking to my coach this morning, I was telling her that I am tired of fighting every day. When the words came out of my mouth, it hit me like a ton of bricks.
Have I lost sight of my mission, “Supporting coaches so they can feel confident and build prosperous businesses.”? What was happening?
We discussed my dilemma and the underlining cause was that I had lost sight of my mission. Once I started talking about my mission, the fire within me started burning and I felt alive again. Ideas started popping into my head.
As the quote states, if things are not happening you have to look for opportunities!
Now It Is Your Turn to try the exercise below:
- Take a few moments and think about your day and what feelings materialize. Are you feeling weary or excited?
- Write what you are thinking about. Just let the thoughts flow and don’t judge them.
- Read what you wrote and notice what jumps out at you. Are you acknowledging yourself, losing sight of your passion, etc…
- What small shift would reignite your fire?
Please share with the Love Yourself – It Matters! Community what small changes you are going to make. Together we will support each other in reigniting the fire within us.
“…like gasoline: A whole tankful won’t do much good until we put our foot on the gas pedal and start driving. Positive thinking makes action possible: Action brings our good thoughts to life. Positive thinking, positive action.”
Arnold Fox, M.D. and Barry Fox, Ph.D.
Reading this quote what comes to mind, by changing our thoughts and hoping things will be different will not necessary alter our situations. Sorry guys we have to do the work!
What could we do differently?
Let me tell you a little story. Jane was having a difficult time enrolling new clients. She thought by changing her negative thoughts to positive ones a miracle would happen and clients would start calling. Jane worked hard on thinking positive and repeating affirmations all day. She started to feel more positive and in spite of her new behavior one or 2 clients appeared.
One day during our coaching session we were discussing positive thinking plus taking action. Jane decided to continue thinking positively and take action at the same time.
She continued focusing on positive thinking, saying affirmations and now taking action. Attended networking events, writing articles and facilitated an Abundant Workshop.
Low and behold, Jane started building a following and her business started to grow.
The moral of the story is by thinking positively, feeling good about yourself and taking action miracles start to happen.
Please share with the Love Yourself – It Matters Community your thoughts regarding the combination of thinking positively and taking action vs. just thinking positively. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

The other day a coaching peer asked me what exactly was my mission statement, and I realized I had it in full glory on my own office wall but it was not publicly known and so here it is Dear Reader:
We are known globally as the most respected Coaches’ Coaching Organization.
By working with us our clients realize they are fearless, unstoppable and
creators of their own powerful lifestyle.
How Might I Support You?
Helen
Last month I celebrated my birthday. As the day was approaching this sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach got stronger. I started thinking what did I accomplish this past year? Of course my inner dialogue shouted, “NOTHING!!”
After struggling with this negative thought process for a few days, I decide to call a friend. To my good fortune she picked up the phone. After relaying my story, she started to laugh and asked who I was talking about. The Helen she knew was a beautiful giving person and successful business owner.
As we continued speaking, I started coming out of my funk, admitted the great things I accomplished and the amazing life changes my clients achieved.
Sometimes all we need is a good friend who listens and is supportive. Eventually we will put our Gremlins to sleep and bask in our greatness.
When you are having one of those days feeling your business will never flourish. Pick up the phone and call a caring friend or leave a comment on the Love Yourself – It Matters! Blog.
My commitment is that I will get back to you and support you in finding your true greatness.
Enjoy your greatness!
Helen
P.S. I had a beautiful birthday.
We haven’t failed.
We now know a thousand things
that won’t work,
so we’re that much closer
to finding what will.
~ Thomas Edison
Running your business sometimes feels like you are always climbing a mountain and never reaching the top. Then all of a sudden you are taking the right steps and getting closer to the peak of the mountain.
Like Thomas Edison said, we are not failing when are new advertising program is not working we are discovering what techniques to change.
I decided my new niche would be working with the Unemployed to find work. Created a website, ordered business cards and started advertising this new service. As time went on I realized that the unemployed were afraid to spend money and hire Love Yourself Coaching. My saving grace was that the clients I did work with each one of them found a job.
At first I kept trying with very little success to find new clients. It finally hit me that I needed to change my focus. Reading Thomas Edison’s quote, realized I did not fail and was closer to finding what will work.
Please share your experiences as a business owner so we can all work together in finding what will work instead of just climbing that mountain with little success.
I look forward to hearing from you.

“24 Things to Always Remember…
And One Thing to Never Forget
~ Collin McCarty
Your presence is a present to the world.
You’re unique and one of a kind.
Your life can be what you want it to be.
Take the days just one at a time.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
You’ll make it through whatever comes along.
Within you are so many answers.
Understand, have courage, be strong.
Don’t put limits on yourself.
So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
Reach for your peak, your goal, your prize.
Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
The longer one carries a problem,
the heaver it gets.
Don’t take things too seriously.
Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
Remember that a little love goes a long way.
Remember that a lot…goes forever.
Remember that friendship is a wise investment.
Life’s treasures are people…together.
Realize that it’s never too late.
Do ordinary things in an extraordinary way.
Have health and hope and happiness.
Take the time to wish upon a star.
And don’t ever forget…
for even a day…
how very special you are.”
Reading Collin McCarty’s quote I was reminded if we focus on the many gifts we are receiving and not what we think should be happening our lives become easier.
Today is a new day and with this golden opportunity we can start thinking about our coaching business in whatever way we want. You can continue worrying about not attracting clients or keep telling yourself to “Trust the Process.”
Sorry folks, thinking does not make things happen you have to take action. Below are some small steps you can take to change your thinking and make things happen.
• Read Collin Mc Carty’s quote daily.
• Remind yourself constantly during the day to “Trust the Process.”
• Each day pick a new small step you will take to market your business. Example: Research networking events scheduled for the current month and register for an event.
Share your new action steps you will be taking in January to promote your coaching business. Together we can move mountains!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Helen
