 Coaching - Are You Ready - Part 2By Natashia Halikowski, President of Intuitionworks Are you ready to step into your peak performance and be on the cutting edge of your ability to create business? Last issue we began to explore the value added to your business, and now we will continue to explore why coaching can create such astounding results for you, the entrepreneurial women. Why do some business women soar to great heights with their business and their personal lives? What is your recipe for your business dream? Is there a secret recipe? And if so, what are the key ingredients? You bet there is a secret recipe…and the ingredients are pretty basic: clarity, vision, action, commitment, courage, generosity, compassion, honesty, openness to learn and receive, and service. Mixing these ingredients in the right quantities is crucial to moving you to the next phase in your business development. Significantly, each of these key ingredients brings to your business the capacity to create even more business because your business will experience a multiplier effect, which will encourage growth a hundred times. The final results of using these basic ingredients in the secret recipe are: 1) Cash - You will be able to grow your business such that you will create the income you determine you want. Imagine having an abundance of cash. Imagine having to work with a financial planner to invest your surplus profits. Are you Ready? 2) Energy - We all know what it feels like to be so tired that we push ourselves to the point of illness. Now imagine what it would feel like to have an overflow of your passionate life force energy. You would have abundant personal energy to enjoy creating your business, and abundant energy to enjoy your personal life. Are you Ready? 3) Time - How many times through the day do we all say we are too busy, or there simply is not enough time. Now imagine having more than enough time to get all those projects completed. Imagine that at the end of the day you have answered all the calls and spent quality time with family, friends and even yourself. Are you ready? Now imagine having the abundance of cash, energy, and time to go on vacation and have a worry free time because your ability to create your business has been outstanding. With the help of a coach, many entrepreneurs are able to create success and soar to great heights with amazing results. You might be wondering how a coach is part of the secret recipe. Your coach has the ability to work with you until you have mastered your personalized recipe using the basic ingredients. Each of us needs to personalize how we use the basic ingredients to allow our authentic and genuine self shine through. Your approach is threefold. Develop a strategic plan, accept continuous feedback with joy, and work in collaboration. Within that framework, a coach can help you with accountability, goal setting and maintaining a positive attitude. First, your strategic plan needs to be developed and is continuously evolving. Taking the basic ingredients as mentioned above, your coach works with you to identify the right ingredients mix. Your strategic plan is the template to your personalized recipe. Second, the results are astounding because of the direct and continuous feedback you receive when you are working with a personalized strategic plan. The continuous feedback will allow you to evolve your efforts and hit your mark with grace. Your coach is the primary source of feedback as you work to design and evolve your strategic business plan. Your coach will guide you to new ideas, concepts and resources. Your coach will help you stay focused and grounded as you go forwards. Your coach will help you manage your energy so that you can be strategic with your efforts saving you time, energy, and money. Are you ready? Lastly, remember no business grows in a vacuum. Each and every one of us creates success because of collaboration (networking). Collaboration is like the greatest potluck in which we each come to the table ready to share our ideas and we walk away many more ideas and concepts. Next issue we will explore how to find the right coach for you and your business. Plus, we will explore personalized strategic planning for business growth.
