350,000 Biz Owners in N Texas and Oklahoma…Business Coaches Needed

stephenmarino — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 22:50:40 +0000

Hi – I’m Stephen Marino – With the World’s #1 Business Coaching Firm – ActionCOACH. I own the development rights for one fastest growing business areas in the US - NTx and Ok. And I’m adding business coaches.

There are over 350,000 small to medium size businesses that can use our coaching services. We lead/coach the owners though the time, team and money challenges that get in the way of predictable profits and productivity. You can see that this is an attractive value proposition regardless of the economic climate.

Now stop and think back to when you had a coach, mentor or teacher in high school, college or on the job. Did you achieve more, faster because of their assistance? Now think of the last time you mentored or coached someone. How did that make you feel? Where you delighted that you were impacting someone’s life and benefiting the company or family the most? That transforming feeling is felt by our coach’s everyday working with owners locally. Yes, there is plenty of business within 20 mins of your office so you don’t have to get on an airplane or travel across town unless you want to, not because you have to.

What’s common to the most successful leaders whether in sports, corporations, government or military that small & medium size businesses don’t have? Access to advisors, a board or a business coach. Yet, where do small to medium size business owners get this guidance? Well, that’s our role. I’ve personally seen the demand for coaching at it’s highest level than it’s ever been in the recent 12 yrs.

Today ActionCOACH coaches over 18,000 business owners globally with cumulative annualized revenues exceeding $10 Bn. Our team of coaches expands globally from over a 1000 offices. We bring the most depth of intellectual property accumulated since 1993, worked with all types of business owner personalities and industries, through numerous boom/bust economic cycles. A client gets not only you as a coach but our entire network of coaches to assist.

So we know our coaching systems and methodologies work…we even guarantee our work. Yes, it’s a testament of our effectiveness with our clients and how we develop our coaches. To achieve these results we use our proprietary franchise development systems. Why, because they work…they’re repeatable, sustainable and scalable…to quickly build a business, receive an ROI and do some of the most fulfilling work on the planet here in NTx & Ok.

If you positively knew the ActionCOACH processes would increase profits and productivity, surround the business owner with higher quality teams and systematize the business to work without the owner always being there…would you deny any business owner from knowing you have these capabilities?

No, of course not…

And if we can do this for others why shouldn’t we do this for ourselves? We have the integrity and congruency to practice what we coach!

If you can see yourself successful and fulfilled leading business owners to higher performance it’ll feel both exciting and make you anxious. …And isn’t that what coaching is all about? Let’s talk…

Over the next 6 months I’ll be interviewing, selecting and awarding not more than 12 business coach licenses, predominately in the DFW, OKC areas to build off our existing market momentum.

Contact me at ph: 972 709 6776 and or go to my website at http://www.actioncoach.com

Looking forward to having a discussion about - Thinking Bigger, Insisting on Win/Win and Being First to Inspire!

Wise Man vs. Wise Guy

stephenmarino — Mon, 30 May 2011 23:10:39 +0000

The wise guy was constantly giving the wise man challenges which did nothing more than annoy him. The wise guy constantly gave sarcastic and cynical one line answers. The wise man finally reversed the gaming and gave the wise guy a blank piece paper to draw how to achieve a higher quality of life/business/relationship?

You want to be humbled? Take a blank sheet of paper and draw your path. You’ll appreciate how difficult it is to be God. Are you’re ever going to know/experience it all? Probably not, so can you learn from the knowhow and experiences of others. You’ll still have room to make your own mistakes. Just don’t make mine.

Here’s the top actions to the higher quality of life/business/relationship:

As business coaches we’re expected to have these conversations with business owners weekly. Afterall, business owners seek to create a commercial profitable business that ultimately works without them. So where do they get the knowhow and guidance to achieve their quality of life? For over 18,000 business owners weekly it’s with an ActionCOACH.

If you see yourself as a wise man i.e. leader/mentor/coach of business owners then learn more by taking the Coach Test.

Entrepreneur or Employee…?

stephenmarino — Fri, 27 May 2011 22:54:02 +0000

Have you debated this question over the past year(s)? You’re not alone. So what stopped you? The unknowns…where to apply your talents and passions, how to ramp-up and replace your income and how to attract clients, just to name a few.

Most of us were trained to hold a job verses how to start or buy and grow a business. We sought highly specialized knowledge and continually developed in that field only. However, the recent changes in the economy, competition, globalization and overall corporate mismanagement showed the shortcoming of this approach. If you’re one of the many former well paid “white collar” leadership left vulnerable with either no or unfulfilling work, are you ready to take control again?

To get answers and determine if you meet the criteria to lead business owners to higher performance let’s talk. ph: 972 709 6776.

I’m looking for ambitous leaders that want to leave a legacy leading business owners to higher profits, productivity and predicability. And if we can do it for others shouldn’t we do it for ourselves? Of course … contact BrianPiccolo@ActionCOACH.com.

One Question That’s Guaranteed to Positively Set You Apart…!

stephenmarino — Thu, 26 May 2011 21:36:32 +0000

During an interview with a prospective business coach recently they asked, “How can I make you a million dollars?” Impressive because this was a role reversal from me asking questions and sharing insights to his question of helping me succeed.

It revealed a lot about his mindset. Seek to understand what’s important to me then assess how he could and would assist. The focus was on the relationship vs. a transaction.

This mindset of giving first to receive second establishes the trust and integrity required to coach. This becomes the basis for the long term win/win relationship. The owner wants business growth and the coach wants to be referred.

So next time you’re in front of your next client ask how you can make them a million, and listen. That’s win/win.

If this mindset is your mindset then ask yourself if business coaching is right for you?

10 Rules for Problem Solving and Higher Productivity…

stephenmarino — Tue, 24 May 2011 21:09:02 +0000

Rarely is there a problem without a solution so why are there so many problems? Below are 10.5 rules to ensure your problem a.k.a. challenge will be solved.

Rules for Problem Solving, Brainstorming and Team Building

Headline the Problem / Issue / Opportunity (newspaper headline terms)
Provide Background: Current situation, Which are Symptoms and Causes, Give context in which a solution is sought, Define what the ground rules of a solution?
Re-define the Problem – after discussions with the group working the Problem / Issue / Opportunity
Define the Desired Outcome – what is needed/wanted and how committed are the players to the solution? What does success look like? Begin with the end in mind. Work the outcome backwards – what do you have to believe to achieve the outcome, what are the assumptions?
Generate Ideas of Possible Solutions – no idea is a bad idea, no critique of person with idea. Look for relationships of ideas: Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive and Complete - MECEC
Select Ideas of Possible Solutions – prioritize selected ideas as compared to desired results
Get Benefits & Concerns (I wish I knew – IWIK & How to – H2), Go through “what if” questions and scenarios - What if things go right? What if they go wrong?
Work the Critical Concerns
Define an Action Plan & Next Steps for Implementation – Rules of the Game, Urgency to act – Why, Who, what, when, where, how, mission – strategy/tactics
How to Sell / Persuade / Communicate in the other person’s interest – WIFME (What’s in It For Me), factor the people’s personalities involved and how best to communicate with them.
