Dear Subscriber,
Welcome to the Guerrilla Marketing
Coach e-newsletter!
As
some of you know last week I was in Orlando presenting
a keynote on Internet Marketing at the Coachville Annual
Convention. I met so many great people there and everyone
was so enthusiastic about creating positive change in their
life. I guess that is what happens when you get a roomful
of professional coaches together!
In addition to presenting on marketing I wrote a song
just for this conference. It is called "Your Passion
Inside". In the picture on right you can see me performing
it with Dave Buck (CEO of Coachville) and Amanda Murphy
(author,coach).
This song is now the new Coachville Theme song (does it
get much better than that?) and we had 350 people on their
feet singing along.
I am currently recording an updated version of this
song and will send it to you as soon as I finish :)

Quote For The Day:
"We have music because we need it. It’s
an essential tool in our endless desire for communications,
and it’s as natural to us as speech itself. It’s
the rhythm of life." --
Sir George Martin, Producer for the Beatles
Fly the Friendly Skies of Coaching Jay
Conrad Levinson and Mitch Meyerson
Every world champion has had a coach. Here’s why the coaching industry growing
so fast and how it can make you a champion, too.
Scared to fly these
days? Taxing your patience with long lines at airport security? Pressed for time
so that you can't attend seminars that can give you the information to add
profits to your business? The solution to these problems is summarized in one
word: coaching.
I make a presentation and watch as the audience takes
careful notes, nods in agreement with what I say, then rises to its feet with
applause. But deep in my heart, I know that only 5 percent of the people in the
audience will actually take action based upon what they have
learned.
These are bright people, motivated people, but the vast majority
of them are just too busy or too overwhelmed by day-to-day business matters to
implement the changes they know they must make. They have everything it takes to
succeed except for one thing – follow-up.
It’s that lack of follow-up
that has led to the explosive growth of the coaching industry. And "explosive"
might be an understatement. Fortune magazine agrees: "The hottest thing in
management today is the executive coach." Newsweek magazine chimes in with their
take on coaching: ""They're part therapist, part consultant--and they sure know
how to succeed in business." The Harvard Business Review tells us, "The goal of
coaching is the goal of good management: to make the most of an organization's
valuable resources." Executive Female is even more specific: "Coaching is having
a dedicated mentor; it’s getting knowledgeable support and encouragement and a
new way of looking at things when you need it."
Forget flying, taking the
train or traveling. Forget going to someone else's office to energize your
business. Instead, imagine closing the door to your office for 30 minutes and
having your own private success coach right there. Or perhaps the perfect time
is on your cellular phone during that tedious commute to and from work. In fact
you can call from any state in the country.
What happens in a coaching
session? Together you and your coach work together to create better, more
effective goals and agree to reach those goals in a timely manner. A good coach
encourages you and helps you to stay on track by helping you understand
roadblocks to change and creating a solid support structure for you to stay
motivated and proactive.
The line at the bottom has "follow-up" written
all over it. We’ve learned that guerrillas need follow-up and now we’re offering
it.
Success at marketing means you’re part of a process and not merely
engaging in an event. Have you ever attended an excellent training program,
perhaps a full day or weekend seminar? The speaker is great, the information is
valuable and you take eight pads full notes. You come back to your business and
you're lucky if you implement even one idea. Why?
Consider this analogy
from the world of sports. Let's say you decide you want to become a tennis
player. You take a tennis lesson. No matter how great that tennis lesson is, you
do not become an overnight tennis champion. It takes a process to create a
tennis champion, and it takes a process to create a profitable company. Coaching
is a process training experience designed to have a dramatic impact on your
business.
The entire design of a coaching program is to get you to take
action and then to stay with you to assure the proper follow-up. If a coach is
nothing else, he’s a master of implementation, and if he’s a winning coach,
he’ll impart that mastery to you.
When I write a book, I know it has only
two parts: starting it and completing it. When you opened your business, you had
the same two parts. Coaching exists to help you with that second part. Coaching
exists to provide the objectivity and extra energy that champions possess.
If you’re interested in learning more, just check out the explosive
growth of the coaching industry as a whole, and if you’re interested in
participating, now you can do it as a guerrilla and gear up to be a champion
yourself.
To be one, now you don't even need a boarding pass.
