Editor's Notes

  • #15 Show them that you’re going to reward their time and then give them a little of your background. Remember, you’re earning the right to be their teacher and in the very near future, their consultant. Also, be sure to use the credibility of ACTION and Brad Sugars to back yourself up. Then it’s over to read through some testimonials.
  • #26 Great job, now it’s time to close people into coaching using the “Rush System” developed by the Eric Dombach coaching team in the United States. Make sure to get the signed contract and don’t send contracts home with people in order to protect Action IP.
  • #30 Stress importance of education giving new possibilities. Invest this time each and every week/day.
  • #31 Fear can turn into frustration when you only TRY … You have to DO and keep testing and measuring to see real results.
  • #38 Tony Robbins Six essential needs for all human beings We all need to feel these at some level no matter what we do. What do you need as Leader to be recognized?, how do you make connection in your team, with your clients? Variety? - try new things – challenges etc Certainty – how can you reduce personal risk? Rituals? Rules? Etc Contribution – how can each person in your team contribute? How? Discuss rewards – unexpected consequences of reward systems? – demotivating? Motivating? Growth – personal, for team, learning – allowance for failure -
