15 Key Decisions for World-Class Coaches

Professional, prosperous, extraordinary coaches distinguish themselves by making 15 fundamental decisions:

1.  I take total responsibility for my financial success and security. I build my financial success and security from my ability to serve, to sell and to save. And I’m dedicated to mastering all three.

2.  Money=Service. I serve people so powerfully they never forget our conversation for the rest of their life.

3.  Money is the most perfect expression of my creativity. I never stop creating… ideas, clients, programs, stories, impact.

4.  I use money as feedback — for my actions, not my emotions. Money is a Lag Indicator, a result. I focus on Lead Indicators, like serving and creating.

5.  I create my lifestyle first, then my career. I live my ideal average day.

6.  Mission and Money: I make a contribution to something far greater than me. I work on cash projects (to fund my lifestyle) as well as big sexy projects (to make an impact).

7.  I invest significant time, energy and money in my professional development, to be world class. (If I’m the most interesting person in the room, I’m in the wrong room. So I seek out communities of fascinating and interesting people. Or I create them!)

8.  I invest significant time away from the business, to take care of ME — physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

9.  I say Hell Yes or Hell No. (There’s no such thing as ‘Hell Maybe’!) I ruthlessly cut out people, places, thoughts and habits that drain me of energy.

10. My secret competitive advantage is patient execution of what everyone knows they should be doing.

11. I focus on my Zone Of Genius. Everything else is on my Avoid At All Costs List. (And I build a team who work in THEIR Zone Of Genius).

12. I know that the most successful coaches operate in a way that is dramatically different from most coaches. I’m finding and honing my own unique, inimitable way.

13. Slow down to speed up: I put quality before quantity, reflection before reaction, and intention before attention.

14. Confidence is a result, not a requirement. I use courage as my compass—I walk in the direction of my fears.

15. The job of a leader is to create more leaders, not more followers. I make my clients into Superheros, rather than trying to be a Superhero.

=====

16. I break all the rules! I watch what everyone else is doing and I do the opposite. I get comfortable with paradox. I get comfortable feeling uncomfortable.

Love. Rich
