Local government employed 213,500 people nationally last financial year with the total wages bill rising 7.3 per cent to $16.4 billion. Australia has 537 local councils with 77 in Queensland. Lobby Group Council Watch President Dean Hurlston told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The more we've been digging into what councils are spending your money on, our hard-earned ratepayers' money on, what we find is that the vast majority are pen-pushers." "We keep getting asked for these exorbitant rate rises every year and all we keep doing is paying more but seeing less." "We don't see our streets as clean as they were, we see potholes everywhere." "We see problems that council's no longer fixing, but the bureaucracy, well, it's just ballooning and the fat cats are earning massive salaries, bigger than those in state and federal government," Dean Hurlston said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ESB Clare Area Manager Alan Hogan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that while most customers will have their power back this evening, people must remain vigilant and immediately contact them if experiencing issues.

Dan still has faith in America and Americans to ultimately do the right thing and punish the Democrats for their fishing expedition in pursuing partisan criminal charges against President Trump. Ryan isn't so sure and believes a vast majority of Democrats and left-leaning independents either would love to see Trump jailed or won't care too much if he is. The two also discuss the political motivations of Kenneth Starr, a Republican prosecutor, in his pursuit of charges against Democrat President Bill Clinton - an investigation which started with Whitewater and ended with Monica Lewinsky.

More than 80% of strategic plans fail. So chances are, if you're an organizational leader, you're (unfortunately) part of that group. But there are ways to turn that tradition around — and actually execute on the strategies you spend so much time designing. Our latest guest is an expert in helping companies do just that. Aric Wood is the CEO of XPLANE, a global design consultancy that serves Fortune 500 businesses and global organizations to clarify, communicate, and activate their strategies and drive change in their organizations. He is also the author of the Strategy Activation Playbook. Tune into the full episode for more on common mistakes that companies make in their strategic planning, the importance of human-centered design in reversing that trend, how many touchpoints you *really* need with your team to actually execute your vision, how to use focus groups to understand barriers, and more. Here's a Glimpse of What You'll Learn: More about Aric's company, XPLANE The statistic about strategic planning that was “infuriating” for Aric — and how his company helps to change that stat What an organization's failure to reach its vision or strategic initiatives boils down to Why human-centered design is important to incorporate into strategic planning Why the way companies have traditionally rolled out strategy is a “dinosaur” — and what's changing now More about the 80-20 rule, and how understanding it can impact change management at your organization How many touchpoints you typically need with your team (and what kind of touchpoints) if you want to successfully enact a strategic plan How to use focus groups to figure out the barriers to change at your organization Why the “smartest person in the room” is actually the “room” Why rolling out a strategy as a 100-page PowerPoint deck is a bad plan — and what to do instead The biggest obstacle to actually executing a strategic plan How Aric measures success with his clients Resources Mentioned in This Episode: XPLANE consultancy Aric Wood on LinkedIn “The Strategy Activation Playbook: A Practical Approach to Bringing Your Strategies to Life” by Aric Wood “The Design of Everyday Things” by Don Norman 40 Strategy Contact 40 Strategy Carl J.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, August 10th, 2022. We’ve got some crazy news to get to today, so let’s dive right in… https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/08/trump-fbi-maralago-search-00050442 Trump's Mar-a-Lago home searched by FBI in unprecedented move The FBI executed a search warrant at the Mar-a-Lago estate of former President Donald Trump on Monday as part of an investigation into the alleged mishandling of White House records, including potentially classified material, according to two people familiar with the matter. The Florida raid, which one of the people said took “hours,” resulted in the seizure of paper records, according to one person familiar with the development, who also noted that Trump attorney Christina Bobb was present during the search. It was a historic step by the Justice Department and FBI to investigate the residence of a former president, who is battling an increasingly complex thicket of legal threats. No former president — particularly one who is openly considering another bid for the Oval Office — has faced such a public law enforcement action, which immediately led to calls among his allies for recriminations and even the elimination of federal law enforcement agencies. “They even broke into my safe,” Trump himself said in a lengthy statement decrying the FBI search and comparing it to Watergate. Trump, who was the first to confirm the FBI action, said in a statement that his resort was “under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.” “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said. The former president was not present at Mar-a-Lago. Instead, he was at Trump Tower in New York City, according to a person familiar with the situation. His son Eric Trump informed him of the raid. The FBI and the U.S. attorney’s offices in Washington didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Spokespeople at Justice Department headquarters in Washington declined to comment. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, the Secret Service and the Palm Beach Police Department deferred comment to the FBI. Two sources familiar with the matter said top Biden White House officials were not given advance notice of the raid, which could potentially alter the course of both the upcoming midterms and an eventual Trump-Biden rematch in 2024. Though the investigation of Trump’s handling of presidential records has been percolating for months, it has largely remained in the background while the Jan. 6 select committee built a case that Trump committed crimes to disrupt the transition of power after his defeat in the 2020 election. The National Archives and Records Administration had confirmed in February that it had sought to recover 15 boxes of records from Mar-a-Lago that it deemed improperly removed, including some marked as “classified national security information.” The Archives confirmed at the time that it had been in touch with the Justice Department about the recovered documents. At the time, the Archives said it had had “ongoing communications” with Trump’s team about recovering missing presidential records. The Archives also indicated that it was working to recover un-archived social media messages and that it had evidence that Trump tore up and destroyed some papers, not all of which were recovered. The Archives also confirmed in December that it was reviewing whether Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows had properly stored records from his personal phone and email accounts. That investigation has also become an increasingly public threat to Trump, with some of his top allies and former White House officials facing grand jury subpoenas and FBI searches. Earlier in the day, the Justice Department defended its decision to seize the cellphone of John Eastman, the attorney who helped devise Trump’s strategy to seize a second term he didn’t win. Federal investigators have pursued evidence that Trump’s administration mishandled presidential records and even removed some boxes to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort. An executed search warrant would require the signoff of a federal judge or magistrate, who would issue the warrant based upon evidence of a potential crime. The law enforcement moves at Trump’s residence came as lawyers and other observers have been bracing for action this month in politically sensitive Justice Department investigations as prosecutors approach a traditional quiet period for such probes in the lead-up to elections.

The IRS has stockpiled five million rounds of ammunition and spent $725,000 on bullets this year, according to Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, who has introduced a bill to block future ammunition purchases by the agency. The Republican lawmaker announced his sponsorship of the Disarm the IRS Act in a July press release. The bill would ban the IRS from acquiring ammunition through direct purchase or otherwise. The bill awaits a potential vote in the House Ways and Means Committee. The issue drew national attention after Gaetz appeared on Fox News’ Jesse Waters Primetime last week, saying that the IRS had spent $750,000 in 2022 alone on ammunition. “Call me old-fashioned, but I thought the heaviest artillery an IRS agent would need would be a calculator, not $725,000 worth of ammunition,” Gaetz said during his appearance on Fox News. While people may not think of the IRS needing weapons and ammunition, it has a criminal investigation division with armed law enforcement to pursue tax felons. A 2018 report from the Government Accountability Office said the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division had 2,148 law enforcement officers, 4,461 weapons—including 15 fully automatic firearms—and 5.05 million rounds of ammunition. According to the Officer Down Memorial Page, four officers with the IRS have died since 1989 from medical conditions or accidents. None was firearm related. But the IRS isn’t the only governmental agency building up massive caches of guns and bullets. OpenTheBooks.com, a nonprofit government watchdog group, released a report called “The militarization of the U.S. Executive Agencies” in December 2020, detailing how agencies that people wouldn’t normally associate with law enforcement were stockpiling weapons and ammunition. The Environmental Protection Agency owns 600 guns. At the same time, special agents at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are equipped with machine guns and AR15s. Even the Smithsonian Institution employed 620-armed “special agents,” up from zero officers in 2008, according to the report. Adam Andrzejewski, CEO & founder of OpenTheBooks.com, told The Epoch Times via email that the public should question why these agencies are armed to the teeth. Not only do they wield legal power, but they are also amassing firepower. “Just who are the federal agencies preparing to battle?” Andrzejewski wrote. Andrzejewski said there is no public purpose for rank and file, paper-pushing federal agencies to load up on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment. “Our data shows that the federal government has become a gun show that never adjourns. Taxpayers need to tell Washington that police powers belong primarily to cities and states, not the feds,” he stated.

Who ya gonna call? Assuming that you don’t have the number for the Ghostbusters, you’ll probably dial 911. But in a number of cities, the odds that anyone will be available to respond quickly enough to save you have been dropping. The problem has grown serious enough that even the Associated Press has been forced to cover the story. They begin with an interview with George Spaulding of Portland, Oregon. Five years ago, his son Brian was shot to death in his apartment. Though George checks in with the detective assigned to the case frequently, the police say they still have no leads. But even George admits that the police are simply overwhelmed and they probably just don’t have the manpower to assign anyone to really work the case full time. And it’s not just Portland where this is happening. Response times to emergency calls are rising and the number of criminal cases being closed are falling in many cities. From Philadelphia to Portland to Los Angeles, killings and gun violence are rising at the same time officers worn out by the pandemic and disillusioned over the calls to divest from policing that followed George Floyd’s murder are quitting or retiring faster than they can be replaced. Departments are scrambling to recruit in a tight labor market and also rethinking what services they can provide and what role police should play in their communities. Many have shifted veteran officers to patrol, breaking up specialized teams built over decades in order to keep up with 911 calls. If you read through that entire report, the AP cites statistics and provides quotes from various officials in five cities. Take a look at this list of names and see if you notice anything in common. Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Baltimore are all cited. It should come as no surprise to most of our readers that these are all cities that were subjected to violent BLM riots during the Summer of Love and all of them later attempted to “defund the police” in various ways. Now crime rates are up in each of those cities, particularly violent crime rates. Response times are up and case closure rates are down. The police forces in each of those cities have been depleted and they are struggling to find qualified recruits to replace the officers who have left. (Along with the officers who were killed or too seriously wounded to return to duty in some cases.) Is there any honest person who is having trouble connecting the dots here? The Associated Press gamely quotes one professor from the Crime and Justice Policy Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. He claims that you can’t blame the protests and the defunding movement because “crime is up in many areas,” even where those things didn’t happen. That much may be true, but it’s definitely a lot worse in the cities on this list. How can anyone continue to deny this? Today, we’re hearing complaints from disgruntled and frightened citizens. That’s understandable. But we should also remember that many of those complaining the loudest also helped elect the municipal officials who put all of these policies in place to begin with and bent to the will of the mob. Now they are reaping what they have themselves sown. If you don’t like what’s going on in the streets, take some responsibility yourself and work to put new people in charge who will deal with the situation in a serious fashion. Once you do that, you just might be able to convince some new aspiring law enforcement officers to come to work in your cities. Well, let’s shift our eyes over seas now. Did you know that China, is one of the freest countries in the world?! Nancy Pelosi: “China Is One Of The Freest Societies In The World…” - Play Video https://thepostmillennial.com/watch-pelosi-says-china-one-of-the-freest-societies-in-the-world?utm_campaign=64487 Pelosi says China 'one of the freest societies in the world' She cited Freedom House as a source, but Freedom House, however, does not list China as a free country, calling its government an "authoritarian regime" that has "become increasingly repressive in recent years." Freedom House writes: "The ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) continues to tighten control over all aspects of life and governance, including the state bureaucracy, the media, online speech, religious practice, universities, businesses, and civil society associations, and it has undermined an earlier series of modest rule-of-law reforms. The CCP leader and state president, Xi Jinping, has consolidated personal power to a degree not seen in China for decades." Freedom House considers the small island nation of Taiwan, however, to be "free," ranking 94/100 on its freedom scale. Perhaps this is what Pelosi was referring to, as she just returned from a trip to Taiwan. Pelosi's Taiwan trip was a huge issue for China, which took the opportunity to engage in a massive show of force over the island. The self-ruling island has faced increased threats of violence from the CCP in recent days following Pelosi's visit to there, to repeated condemnation by the communists. US officials have made clear, though that they do not support an independent Taiwan, despite comments from President Joe Biden that the US would "militarily defend" it. https://twitter.com/i/status/1554169482242916354 - Play Video That was John Kirby for those wondering. https://www.outkick.com/oklahoma-cale-gundy-didnt-want-resignation-football/ ‘VAST MAJORITY’ OF OKLAHOMA PLAYERS DIDN’T WANT CALE GUNDY TO RESIGN: REPORT Many members of the Oklahoma Sooners reportedly didn’t want Cale Gundy to leave the program. The longtime Sooners assistant resigned from his coaching position after he admitted to reading a “shameful and hurtful” unknown word off a players iPad during a film session. He announced his resignation late Sunday night after more than two decades as a coach with the program. Despite his resignation, it sounds like many members of the team didn’t want him to leave. Gabe Ikard reported “the vast majority” of players on the roster didn’t want Gundy to leave. However, it sounds like they couldn’t sway his mind. After more than two decades as a coach with the Sooners and several seasons as a dominant QB in Norman, Gundy is gone because he read a player’s iPad during a film session. As Gundy claimed in his statement, they weren’t his words. He was reading a message on the iPad. ““I want to be very clear: the words I read aloud from that screen were not my words. What I said was not malicious; it wasn’t even intentional. Still, I am mature enough to know that the word I said was shameful and hurtful, no matter my intentions. The unfortunate reality is that someone in my position can cause harm without ever meaning to do so,” the former Oklahoma coach told fans in his resignation announcement. Overall, it seems like this situation spiraled out of control before most people even realized what happened, and that’s backed up by the fact most players didn’t want him to resign.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday, August 10th, 2022. We’ve got some crazy news to get to today, so let’s dive right in… https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/08/trump-fbi-maralago-search-00050442 Trump's Mar-a-Lago home searched by FBI in unprecedented move The FBI executed a search warrant at the Mar-a-Lago estate of former President Donald Trump on Monday as part of an investigation into the alleged mishandling of White House records, including potentially classified material, according to two people familiar with the matter. The Florida raid, which one of the people said took “hours,” resulted in the seizure of paper records, according to one person familiar with the development, who also noted that Trump attorney Christina Bobb was present during the search. It was a historic step by the Justice Department and FBI to investigate the residence of a former president, who is battling an increasingly complex thicket of legal threats. No former president — particularly one who is openly considering another bid for the Oval Office — has faced such a public law enforcement action, which immediately led to calls among his allies for recriminations and even the elimination of federal law enforcement agencies. “They even broke into my safe,” Trump himself said in a lengthy statement decrying the FBI search and comparing it to Watergate. Trump, who was the first to confirm the FBI action, said in a statement that his resort was “under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.” “After working and cooperating with the relevant Government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate,” Trump said. The former president was not present at Mar-a-Lago. Instead, he was at Trump Tower in New York City, according to a person familiar with the situation. His son Eric Trump informed him of the raid.

We're answering the question, “Should YOU be a life coach?” this week. Why? Well, according to a recent study, almost half of employees in the US are looking for a new job or plan to soon. Which suggests that the curious pandemic-era phenomenon known as the “Great Resignation” is continuing into 2022. Specifically, 44% of employees now consider themselves “job seekers,” according to Willis Towers Watson's 2022 Global Benefits Attitudes Survey. Wow. That blew me away. How about you? As a part of all of this, I've had more and more people ask me whether they should and/or could become a life coach. So, I wanted to dig into that. Now, I'll be the first to say that every once and a while... I do a deep dive on a subject that might not be for everyone. BUT this one is for more people than you might expect. If you listen to DREAM THINK DO, I'm guessing you may have thought about it. If you're wanting to dream bigger, think better and do more of what you're put on the planet to do… then… there's a really good chance you'd like to see others do that too! So, if you've had that feeling… it's possible you'd make an amazing coach. AND… many should become coaches… BUT… not all. That's why I'm doing this episode. I'm going to take you behind the scenes of the coaching industry and I'm going to be straight up with you as I answer some common questions I get about who should become a life coach, business coach or success coach. I'll shoot straight with you about the industry and WHO would be a good fit... and have a chance to really make an IMPACT and... quite possibly... some serious INCOME from it. And.... who I'll also share who I think shouldn't try to become a life coach too. It's going to be a fun… eye-opening… truth filled conversation and I can't wait to get started. So, let's do this!!! FREE TRAINING: 3 Hours to $3K Masterclass http://www.mitchmatthews.com/masterclass MORE ABOUT THE EPISODE: Why are we talking about whether you should/could become a life coach… NOW? Well… like I said, in the introduction, LOTS of people are wanting a change. There are a LOT of things contributing to this… but if 44% of the workforce are now considering themselves “job seekers,” there's a very good chance that MANY of them are wanting to do something more meaningful. Something that's more true to their purpose And if YOU are wanting more purpose from your work… there's a chance that you'd love to help OTHER PEOPLE find more purpose and fulfillment too. So, one of the things that pops to some people's lists is life coaching. They might think about hiring their own life coach, but they might also be asking, "I wonder if I should become a life coach?" But let's be honest… right from the start! Some might wonder if it's a scam or a get-rich-quick scheme? NOTE: You can make a LOT of money as a coach but that's NOT the reason to get into it. There are a few BAD coaches out there… BUT what industry do you know that doesn't include a few bad apples who screw things up for everyone? That's why I like to set the record straight... and try to do our part to make things right! If you wonder whether being a life coach or a success coach is legitimate: You can now get your Masters and your Ph.D. in coaching... NOTE: Although I don't recommend that and I'll tell you why more in a bit. BUT just the fact that you can get advanced degrees in coaching proves it's needed and that a LOT of people are seeking help! FREE TRAINING: We have some new free training coming up... because I really do want to help people who feel called to become a life coach to keep moving forward with confidence. BUT I really do want to scare the wrong people away from becoming a coach... So let's get started! I often get asked, “SHOULD I BECOME A LIFE COACH?” Good question: Is becoming a life coach ideal for you? More specifically, here are some of the most common questions I get around the idea of becoming a life coach: What does a life coach actually do? Should I get certified as a life coach and/or do certifications matter? Are there too many life coaches and/or is the coaching market saturated? What are some of the things that keeps people from becoming successful life coaches? Question 1: What does a Life Coach actually do? The question seems to be, "What do SUCCESSFUL life coaches actually do?" Because we've all seen those people who seem to be all talk in regards to being a coach, but you're just not sure what they actually do. When someone is curious about this and they're asking about what a success coach actually does… I ask THEM a question that usually shocks them: "Are you willing to shut up?" Yup. That sets people back a bit… but it's important to ask… especially if someone is wanting to be an EFFECTIVE and SUCCESSFUL Life Coach. Here's why: As a coach… it's good to have systems and processes in place. BUT as a foundation, I believe in a "question-based approach." What I mean is... I'm going to bring a VAST MAJORITY of my value to my clients by ASKING QUESTIONS... as opposed to TELLING them what to do. The main reason for this approach is something I call: "The Intellectual Immune System ™" This is based on the idea that we tend to reject things / ideas that come from outside us and we tend to embrace things that come from within. Think of a time when you got advice… and you eventually rejected it… because it came from outside you. Maybe it was advice from a parent, a manager, a friend, a mother-in-law or a complete stranger. You knew it was good advice… but you just couldn't move forward… because it just wasn't YOU! Been there? I sure have! For me… as a Coach… I work with talented... successful people... and most of the time... they know 90% of what they need to do... they just need a safe place to acknowledge that. Plus, they need a safe place to talk through the ideas... vet those ideas... and vent... and bitch and moan a bit! We're human. It's needed! And for the other 10%... I always say, "We'll figure it out together." As a life coach, my job is to ask questions and create an environment where we can get to their genius. Now... a key here is: You need/have to: "Hold people as capable." Some people get into coaching because they can't wait to tell everyone THEIR answers. BUT... we all know how THAT goes over. That's why they're not often very successful. People will feel it… if you believe in them… if you believe they can do it... and they often RISE to that. SIDE NOTE: This applies to LEADERSHIP and PARENTING too!!! So... are you willing to ask some questions and then shut up? If so... there's a very good chance you could be an awesome coach! QUESTION 2: Should I get certified as a life coach and/or do certifications matter? The big question behind the question here is: “What is a life coaching certification for and what is it NOT for? IDEALLY: A well-designed life coaching certification is something that's going to make you more confident and more effective as a coach. Helping you… so you can help your clients achieve CLARITY… and help them get to their GOALS more quickly. IT IS NOT: A marketing tool or strategy. Meaning… don't get a life coaching certification to sell your coaching. Nope. Here's the straight scoop. I'm not “anti-coaching certification.” Heck... I actually created a coaching certification called “The Coach Mindset” and it's helped thousands of coaches around the world. So, I believe in getting you the training and the tools you need to be a confident and a competent coach! BUT... I'll be the first one to say that the only people who seem to ask whether I'm certified are other coaches. I've never been asked by a potential coaching client whether I'm certified or not. Why? Because they just want to know whether I can help them or not. They don't care about a piece of paper on the wall. They want to know can I help them break through the junk... and achieve what they want to do? So... if you want to grow in your confidence as a coach... find a program that's a great fit for you! But don't invest in a coaching training program because you think THAT accomplishment will wow potential clients. It won't. Much like adding letters behind your name JUST to impress people doesn't tend to work either. (Sorry… not sorry!) It's the WORK that makes a difference. It's whether you can help someone get the job done that moves the needle! So, invest in a training program that helps you DO THE WORK! Don't invest in a program because you think it's fancy title or HUGE investment will impress people. Make sense? I'm hoping so. One more side note on this before we move on. If you're looking for a training program, I'd also really recommend that you find a life coach certification that includes BUSINESS training... as well as coaching training. Because… to be honest... most people who are attracted to the idea of coaching find that the coaching strategies come more easily to them. They'll be quick to say they need MORE help on the business-building side... than they do on the coaching side. But MOST coaching programs don't include business training... so be really careful there!!! In fact, that's something Brendon Burchard asked me about when he interviewed me about my work with Life Coaches and Success Coaches. QUESTION 3: Is the Life Coaching market saturated? I'll sometimes get the question: Are there too many life coaches out there? Let me first run some stats by you: There are 328+ million people in the US There are 445+ million people in the European Union There are 1.4+ billion people in India There are roughly 8 billion people in the world 8 BILLION people. That's so big… it's hard to get your head around. That's a LOT of people. Now, I'll be the first to say that not all of those people need coaching and/or not all of those people can afford coaching. EVERYONE would benefit from working with a good life coach, but let's be real. Let's not say 50%... or 25%... let's just do the math on 2% of those people. Let's say that 2% of people want a coach. That's still around 160 million people. (Think about that number. If you took all the people that live in Los Angeles, New York City and London… that would just be 21 million people! So 160 million people is a LOT of people!) And… at the same time… depending on your coaching rates... most coaches can have a REALLY profitable coaching practice with 10 clients at a time. You can make $100K a year with 10 clients (or less) a month! And A LOT of coaches coach on the side. I know successful people that kept getting those "Can I pick your brain" requests. So they decided to get trained up as coaches and they sell their services now and make extra $3K to $10K a month from that. Heck, one of the members of our coach's mastermind made an extra $50K in one month… coaching on the side of his job as a health care administrator. How cool is that? So there's a LOT of ways to do this. Here's my best insight on the question of whether there are too many coaches in the world. Ready? As you become a Life Coach, your true competition won't be other coaches. Nope. Not at all. The biggest competition is the: “COUCH!” That's right! As a Life Coach... the BIGGEST competition isn't other coaches... the biggest competition is the "couch." It's distraction. It's "going grey." It's all the things that cause people to tune out, to go numb, to settle. That's the biggest competitor. So, you will need to find ways to inspire and equip people to break free and to want more. THEN... you can help them to clarify what they actually want and help them to achieve it. Want another BIG shocker from behind the curtain? The vast majority of the people who hire me as their coach haven't been "coach shopping." They haven't been googling coaches and then decide on me because of a certification I completed. Nope, they've either been consuming my content for a while and say to themselves, "When I finally invest in a coach... Mitch is my guy." Or they're referred to me by people who consumes my content or by past clients. So if you commit to helping people... the right clients will find you! You can find ways to put out content that's true to you… content that helps people in big or small ways… and clients will find you! And yes… I have a long-standing podcast… but my first paying client came from one of my first blog posts I ever wrote! A friend forwarded it to him and said READ this. And that person reached out immediately to get some help! This is what gets me fired up and moving forward. Because I don't want people to live lives that are less than they were supposed to live or experience. I want people to find their jam… and rock that thing! That drives me. I don't compete with other coaches. I compete with how I performed yesterday. So, some questions I often ask myself are: Am I finding new ways to serve? Am I finding innovative ways to help? Am I growing... if YES? Then game on... let's go! If I get caught up in looking at other coaches... or what the world would call "my competition" then I'm toast. I'm not going to be good to anyone! Who's with me on THAT? COMPETE with the YOU from yesterday... and that will keep you growing! QUESTION 4: What are some of the things that keeps people from becoming successful life coaches? This is a big question because people want to be successful. So, it makes sense that they're curious about what might get in the way of success! It won't surprise you but part of the answer goes back to the things we've already talked about: Thinking they have to have all the answers!!! Getting TOO much training and getting caught up in that rat race! Disqualify themselves because they caught up in looking around instead of looking forward. But when I talk about one of the BIGGEST "ditches" that potential coaches often fall into… it surprises people. That is: they're not willing to get paid! Now... you might think I'm crazy but hang with me here! Many of the people I talk to that are interested in becoming a life coach are natural encouragers. They're the safe place that people come to to hash out ideas, vent or dream big! Heck... if you're one of these people… and there's a good chance you are… maybe you've even had someone say, "Wow. Why am I telling you this? I don't tell anyone this." Maybe people have joked you're like a “bartender” because they just tell you stuff! Or… you have people seek you out because they want to ask you questions, or share ideas or celebrate a big win. Co-workers… friends… family members. They seek you out! And if that's you… maybe encouraging people comes easy to you. AND… If it comes naturally to you... you tend to dismiss it's value. Seriously… if you've always done it... it's easy to think EVERYONE does it. So... you devalue it. SO... some people wind up having trouble with the thought of being paid thousands of dollars for doing something they've always done! NOW... I would argue that with training... you add to your natural gifting and take it to the next level... BUT still... people often wrestle with getting paid really well for something they'd do for free! BUT... I'd argue the FEE is necessary! Sure... it puts food on your table and a roof... (hopefully a very nice roof) over your head. BUT the fee also helps to bring a level of commitment for the client. They have skin in the game. They're committed. It's funny… but the person I mentioned that generated $50K in one month was in this category. When we first started working together… the most he'd made was about $500. But we started to work together to tweak his mindset and some of his systems and almost instantly… he had his first $5K Client. Not only was he blown away by getting paid more of what he was worth… BUT he also found that his clients were soooo much more committed to the process! Now... I charge thousands for my packages and I tell them... it's as much for them as it is for me! Because if they're willing to invest in themselves… that means they're all in and it's go time! So... ask yourself, "Are you willing to get paid well for something you love to do?" QUESTION 5: What do I need to have in place to be a life coach? We'll keep this one short. As a new life coach as well as successful life coach with a sustained practice, you just need a few things: Good training (Focuses on Coaching AND Business!) A good community A personal willingness to experiment (and learn as you go)! Belief you can do it.
