Plan to Follow:
This week we are going to go to the bookstore, or any store that we can buy a journal or something that we can use as a journal. In this journal, we are going to answer the following questions for each day of the week:
Success:
Mistakes:
How To Succeed in the Coaching Process
General Expectancies:
•· Consistency. Bi weekly is often the best option, though some people are able to go week to week or close to it. But no matter the amount of sessions, they need to be seen as a priority. A serious personal situation or an urgent client matter may take precedent, but these meetings have to be seen as a priority not an option that can be pushed aside.
•· Clear Commitment: This is to your coach, yourself, and most important the process.
•· Focus on Being Accountable and Getting Things Done: You have a metrics Matrix that YOU set goals for. Reasons don't bring results and procrastination does not bring productivity.
What You Can Expect From The Coach:
•· Authentic and Sincere Support
•· Curiosity, Interest, Guidance, and Support
•· Experience, Strategy, and Collaborative Partnership
Your Key Responsibilities:
•· The filling out and sending of the Metrics Matrix
•· Timelines to accomplish those goals that are not on matrix or extend past a weekly measure.
Coaching works, but it is not a process that is used just because you are in a slump or are lost in what to do next. Coaching is about creating habits, improving mindset, and consistently improving.
To use a metaphor: Coaching is like climbing a mountain with no peak...the higher you go, the different your view. How much you see is up to you.
If you really want success, Let Go of Your Attachments...
Chances are, people who are solely focused on the end result don't have a process they have faith in. As such, they concentrate more on trying to control the outcome: pushing for what they want rather than managing the process.
Yet, trying to achieve more without a process to guide you is like would be similar to driving from New York to California without a map while wearing a blindfold!
If you continue your quest for success with your eyes focused on the finish line, you will miss out on the journey. And when you miss out on the journey....success becomes something in the distant future that we hope for instead of a process that we experience everyday.

NEW YEAR--NO LIMITS!!!!!!!
For a sample of IPRE Programs, click here
Well, certainly, I want to wish everyone a happy new year. But I had a couple of questions first.
First, can we really wish for a happy new year or do we have to take steps to create this happiness on a consistent basis?
Second, and perhaps more important....what is happiness for you?
In my experience as an agent, coach, manager etc I have learned that happiness is not limited or truly defined by what you get, but how you get it and more importantly, why you want it in the first place.
I may want to make $500,000 but how I choose to approach that result will define who I am and my ability to control that outcome. More so, understanding why I want it--be it the diminishment of pain or the pursuit of greater pleasures (for myself or others) will give me purpose, passion, and the willingness to get it.
So, here is a wish from me to you, not as much for a happy new year....as it is a clear idea of what that happiness means to you and for the courage, willingness, and wisdom to create a plan to make it happen. And, might I add, a wish that you know and see that in the end, it is not what is at the end of the tunnel, it is the ride indeed that will being you the most consistent, moment to moment happiness you can ever experience.
Ask any baby if you could and they would tell you that happiness for them is not the goal of growing up, but the moment they are in in the process of doing so. (think about that one)
Happy New Year Everyone! (and all that means to you)

It's holiday season, the gifts have been bought.
The year almost over, the lessons been taught
We look to the future with hope and good thought
To at least make enough and cover the presents we bought 
Now, it goes without saying that these times mean so much
They are times of reflection, of giving, and such
We give to each other and we give from the heart
We look to the new year as an exciting new start
Yet, it seems every new year, though we aspire to more
We soon find ourselves walking through the same door
The door of our habits, of patterns and fears
Those things that we do, seems year after year
We say what we want and we promise to do it
But life steps in front and says "Try to get through it."
And that is the moment we know the mark of our billing
To know who is ready, but more so who's willing
For its one thing to want yet another to need
But in both cases its the willing who eventually succeed
Many are ready and many are able
But few are to willing when they sit at that table
They sit and they look at the menu of choices
But then they hear past--all those negative voices
"You can't" "You won't" "What if" they all say
These negative voices you hear every day
Yet, just like a menu, we have lots of choices
Things we can do to overcome those voices
We find what we want, and we order our choice
We order so boldly and we find a new a new voice
So take that new voice and do what you will
It's those who are willing that climb that steep hill
And as the year ends, it's no resolution
No, this year it's more a New You Revolution
A year's not enough for all you can Be
But this moment is plenty to start being FREE
Free from attachment and involved in the now
Attached only to purpose, to why, not just how
This is your moment, to order your choice
To make your selection and find your real voice
This is your moment to set yourself free
To know who you are, what you want, all you will be
So, enjoy these few days in the many of life
Enjoy without stress, without conflict and strife
For now is the time if any to see
That if you are willing, anything can and will be
Happy Holidays everyone.....be ready 2009 will only be the start of what will be your decade to come.
