Hi Steve. I know you are right. But frankly I can´t afford it right now. I will just work and do some planning slowly, by completing your 22-part Audio program and following and doing the exercises in this serie.
The man I am living with is very sick. A couple of year´s ago he had a stroke and he ha´s not recovered after that. I am taking care of him, at least part-time. He is born in India. Last month he travelled on his own to India, to see his relatives. The trip was too much for him, in his condition. I had to pay for his return-ticket in advance. I am no doctor, but I think he is dying!
I am very spiritual and I have an incredible intuition.I am usually right about these things. So I will just be here for him, when he needs me. Lena

Hi Steve Yes I do believe it is mandatory for a person going into business for themselves must have someone who has experienced first hand what I'm want to do, show/teach me how it's done. Regards Laurence

AWESOME STEVE KEEP IT GOING GET THE WORD OUT AND WE WILL SEE MORE SUCCESS
Steve I couldn’t agree with you more However before I go any further I want to address Barbara who posted at 1:33PM Barbara I am a new self-published author in fact my book was just released on March 31 2010 “Revelation Exposed Plain & Simple” By William P Kramer / W P Kramer. Anyway you were asking if Steve knew away for you to “moneytize” your skill. Let me reassure you that you can make an absolute awesome business in a very short time by offering your services to self-published authors. It is a very expensive service that most self-published authors desperately need. I was blessed that my mother-in-law was a proofreader for years for attorneys. Go to self-publishers and offer your services, make a blog offering your services to self-published authors, write and ezine article about your services with your price, website and history. Send out e-mail campaigns to authors. It is not hard to find out the best and inexpensive it is to get the word out because you can service anyone who needs you regardless where they live. The world is your market not just a corner store in your local city. GO FOR IT!!! Now Steve back to you and your message as I said I cannot agree more with you however cost can very well be a huge problem. As I said I am a new author but I am also on disability with a child at home with over $300,000 in medical bills I am struggling with and trying to maintain a living even after I lost around $3000 a month in income because of having to go on disability. I am praying that I will be able to turn my life around with this book and my second book I am currently writing, “Surviving the New-World-Order”. …

If you want to succeed GET A COACH ASAP!!!!! Don’t try to reinvent the wheel to success take a nice ride on one that already works.
God Bless W P Kramer

Hi caraboska,

Thank you for you comment.

I beg to differ with your conclusion. It seems to me that this is precisely where a coach CAN help you. Let me illustrate. The idea that “you should be the one coaching everyone else, except that they will probably never achieve the same results because… they just can’t?” is a belief that in this case is limiting what you see possible for yourself. Its not the truth…its just what you believe….what you see.

People can only be as big as you see them.

If you see everyone as being less capable than yourself then they will show up that way for you. But if instead, you take on the challenge of changing your perception of people…and find a way to make them even bigger and better then you are … then you have not only advanced their cause in service of your business….but you’ve advanced yours too.

A coach will empower you to see what you cannot see on your own.

Coaching is not training. Think of the champion athlete. Certainly the champion athlete is the best…better than the coach in the contest…but the coach got him or her there….without the coaching, the athlete would fail as a champion.

Make sense?

Thanks again for you comment

Steve

What happens if you are uniquely talented at what you do – so that in principle you should be the one coaching everyone else, except that they will probably never achieve the same results because… they just can’t? And yet what you are doing costs you so much that there’s no way you can do it full-time, you can’t make a living, nor can you even realistically multiply or leverage the business because no one else can perform up to the standard your customers are used to? There is a downside to being at the top, to occupying a niche basically without competition. Especially when it’s a business you don’t really LOVE. And you can’t even really retire either. Because then where will your customers go? I think there are situations where even a coach can’t help you.

Hi caraboska,

Thank you for your comment.

Here is something for your consideration. People can only be as big (as smart, as talented, as capable, etc) as you see them.

The belief that no one else is capable in a particular area is just that, a belief. It is not “the truth”. But because it is your belief, others show up that way to you.

“Coaching” is not “training” and it has nothing to do with being the best at something. Think of the champion athlete and his or her coach. The athlete is clearly superior with regard to the actual competition. However he or she would not have attained that level of proficiency without his or her coach.

A coach helps you see and overcome the things that stop you or curtail your success.

If, for instance, you can begin to see others as capable and committed and decide to invest and lead them to succeed, you not only advance your business concept, but you advance yourself and your capacity for success too.

I hope this helps.

Thanks again for your comment.

Sincerely,

Steve

PS – Should you seek a coach with a high degree of experience, expertise and proficiency in a given area? Yes, absolutely. Getting the right coach matters. You want someone who knows how to help you navigate the waters of your particular journey. You hire a athletic coach to become a champion athlete and my coaches become a champion business builder. =0)

Hey George, I never said “society”, I said experience has taught people not to trust. It’s right there in black and white. I trust Steve for a bunch of reasons. He gives a lot of information. It’s checkable. His story is consistent. His customer service team is nice, available, and professional. He’s already made his nut. He looks great in a speedo. He JV’s with Joe Vitale. I can’t find one bad thing on the scam blog sites. He resonates with me. I really feel his heart’s in this. I think he’s payin’ it forward.

Firstly, I ascertained that the teleseminar was nor relevant to me as I live in a different country. I would agree that someone else can see dangers and mistakes that you may miss. No doubt you see one of your team filling the role as coach and confidant. When you talk of coach, I think of someone with a dollar sign attached, a large dollar sign. I know you will argue that is not necessarily true, and your coach may be a close friend with “business savvy”. As Karen says above, society teaches us not to trust, and our true friends, who we can trust with our lives, and our business are few indeed. Too often we are looking for the dagger in the other hand. I don’t have a business and a little selling on eBay I don’t think requires someone to whisper warnings in my ear. But I will concede that in big business advisors are needed to avoid all the pitfalls of business law.
