4 minute motivational video that will inspire you to take action and reach for the stars

What will you find in this video?

• Using stories of other people you can clearly see what is possible in your life today.
• What powerful things can occur when you believe in yourself.
• Believing can have an incredible impact on your life.
• You can build empowering beliefs easily

Generally in Life Coaching circles you will hear life coaches talk about 2 different types of beliefs – ‘Empowering’ or ‘Limiting’.

During one of your fabulous coaching sessions with Martin you are given the opportunity to explore your beliefs and discover the impact postive or negative they are having on you.

Why is it a good idea to look at beliefs with a Life Coach?

There is a long answer to this and a short one! Watch the video first and look at what can happen in life when you truly deep down inside believe you are capable.

Now you’ve watched the video consider, Out of 10 how much do you believe in yourself? The people in the video set the bench mark of 10! Are you close to them?

If you are not a 10 then a life coach will enable and empower you to move to a 10! Imagine for a moment what could happen then?

If you would like to learn more about receiving our life coaching services please use the contact page,  alternatively if you need instant motivation and don’t have time for a life coach we have a great Ebook that will help you.

Follow this course and you will naturally develop some new beliefs along the way.

Making money - license to print money

In this article we explore the secret to creating a long lasting profitable business  even in difficult times.If you listen to the media you could be forgiven for believing that everything is doom and gloom.

However, let’s examine the idea that this might not be true and start thinking that, maybe our beliefs about the current economic climate are driving certain behaviours which in turn result in certain predictable behaviours.

If you are suffering in the current climate, have a look through these 8 myths about your customers.

1) My  customer is always looking for the lowest price

• Have a look at the sales figure for the latest Iphone 4! The Iphone 4 is selling at a high price and in a high volume. Why are customers willing to pay a premium for this device?

2) I know exactly what my customer wants

• When did you last ask your customer what they’re expectations are? One constant we can be certain of today is CHANGE. What if your customers wants have changed or developed?

3) Customers don’t know what they want

• It may be true that a lot of customer don’t know they want. If one of your customers knows what they want and you fail to find this out, you risk losing new profit generating avenues.

4) Customers don’t want to buy

• If this is true have a walk round your local shopping centre. How busy are Starbucks, Build a Bear or Lush? These are great examples of retail shops that have discovered how to keep busy. How have they done
  this?

5) My customers don’t want to be up-sold ever.

• Most of the time this is false. What happens is that they want the initial request to be dealt with before being offered additional products or the up sell doesn’t match any of their wants. When does McDonalds offer the chance to go large – before taking your order or afterwards?

6) Customers don’t like giving information about themselves.

• Customers place a high value on giving us information if they can see the benefit of receiving an improved service that is individual to them. We all like to feel important and asking customer questions about what they would like to see improve or change helps them to feel important and loyal to you and your business.

7) Sorry is never enough (so why bother?)

• “Sorry” is a very over-used word these days and people are becoming more dismissive of it. Is this because actions speak loader than words? You need to make sure that your apology is not hollow. Honesty is alwaysthe best policy. Reflect on your best experiences of complaining to a company – have they been when someone has dealt with your complaint
  extremely well?

8 ) Our company knows what the customer NEEDS not their wants

• This is probably one of the most common areas a company can fall down on. You may know what the customer needs but if the customer doesn’t WANT it, will they buy the solution? Use rapport and questioning in conversation first this allows you to discover what the customer WANTS. Another way to look at this is – Understand what ‘Pain’ is your
  customer feeling and how does your product or service erase this ‘Pain’? Understanding this allows you to talk specifically to the customer’s WANTS and not just churning out a set of predefined benefits your
  product/service provides.
  • Example – If you walked into the doctors looking like you had a cold and the doctor just said “I know what you need, take two of these tablets twice a day”, would you trust the solution was right? How would
    you feel if on the other hand he asked you lots of questions then prescribed a solution? In essence over time it’s easy to believe we already know the answer, this is a fatal mistake, all customer’s circumstances are unique and this is how customers want to be treated asunique and special to you.

You have a choice whether to believe that there is way to increase your profits and sales or whether to just believe that what you’re told in the morning news. As Henry Ford said: ‘If you believe you’re right or you believe you’re wrong, you’re probably right’. In other words you will create your future based on the belief you hold because our belief system drives us to take action or not. Image for a moment you have a belief that ‘It’s no use I can’t survive the credit crunch’ what action will you take on a daily basis? What outcome will this generate? What if you changed this believe to ‘There is always a way to make more money’
what happens to your thinking now? If you’re still not convinced have a look at any successful entrepreneurs, leaders or inventors in history!
Take Thomas Edison, he is famous for experimenting thousands of times over before he successfully invented a light bulb that worked. He didn’t just have a belief he had a conviction. No matter what happened his conviction drove him through until he succeeded.

Roger Bannister – famous for being the first person to run a mile in under 4 minutes even though everyone told him it couldn’t be done! And the list goes on.

In this current climate people will tell you it can’t be done, the media will tell you it can’t be done and even your family maybe telling you it can’t be done. It’s your choice which way to turn! Be a Roger Bannister, be a Thomas Edison or be a quitter and give in now.

With all the ideas you’ve created from reading this article pick your top 3 and take some action.

Oliver from Habitat Development at work in woodland

Case study created by Oliver Dickenson after 5 coaching sessions.

What does your company do?

Habitat development is a land management company specialising in
habitat creation and management. We create landscapes and gardens in an
environmentally aware way.

Background

I originally went to business link about 18 months ago for some  advice on starting a business and went on a few free courses they provided. These where a great help and I managed to survive the first year of being self-employed by doing gardening and countryside work.

I built up some regular clients and undertook someone off jobs all through word of mouth. Business link contact me around 4 months ago and gave me another free consultation. From this they put me in touch with Martin Rodgers a business and life coach.

They told me he would be willing to meet me and talk to me to see if he could be any help. I was excited to see how a business and life coach works so after speaking to Martin on the phone we agreed to meet in a local café. I turned up early and waited by the door for Martin to arrive, I immediately new it was Martin approaching by his persona, he was looking up, and he was obviously happy or at least content with life! We chatted over a coffee and it became apparent he had a deeper understanding of life and the way the mind works than me I was very interested in what he was saying and  knew he was going to be a worthwhile investment.

The deal clincher was when he picked out from chitchat that my marketing strategy was based on hope alone. I didn’t have any adverts at the time and I’d never given it much thought, so obvious in retrospect, but to have someone put it so bluntly and it be so true made me laugh. Martin suggested three sessions to begin with, with the possibility of extending depending on how I got on. I was very keen to get started.

At the time of writing this I’m on my 5th session and fully intend to finish the full course.

What coaching was required?

When I first thought about what was required I suppose I decided on just general business advice and help with going in the right direction but after speaking to Martin and understanding his perspective I understand I required motivational help and help with understanding my beliefs and values and why they can sometimes hold me back as well as make me the person I am.

What impact is the support having?

A change occurred instantly, my website improved, I got more hits, I started advertising and in the right place because I got business from the adverts, I became more organised, I started enjoying the challenge of being self employed again, I started enjoying my free time more, and I have found new motivation and focus for most aspects of my life and I have already managed to make positive changes to my beliefs and I’m very happy with my direction.

How was this different to business link?

Business link provide a great service but it is tailored specifically towards business. Martin’s holistic approach suited me a lot more.

What has been achieved so far?

After the first free consultation I realised my marketing strategy was based on ‘hope’ I went away feeling happy and motivated. The first positive impact Martins coaching gave me was my first customer through advertising. This turned out to be one of most enjoyable pieces of work and it involved the creation of a hazel coppice. Further meetings with Martin went well and I gained far better self motivation, and everything that came with it. We also looked at my beliefs and values and deconstructed them. I think that from understanding your beliefs and values you can then start to understand why you act in certain predictable ways and look at changing your response to triggers.

Who benefited and how do we know?

Although it could be said a few people benefitted (indirectly) from Martins coaching, my family for example because I am sure I’m a lot easier to live with, its me who has benefitted the most because with some help I’ve made myself and my business better. I’m reminded of Martins influence when I’m completing my evening stretches or analysing my web traffic, I’m living proof of his benefit.

Next steps/further action

I have not completed the full course, however I have seen massive benefits from doing what I have done already so the next step is carry on and see what happens. I have already recommended Martin to two people
because I am convinced everyone should talk to him at least once.
