Certified Life Coach.org & Coach - How a Business Coach Can Assist You With Business ...

A business coach will help you with the skills that you need to manage and lead a successful small or medium sized business. They will assist you in setting your business development goals and make sure you become more responsible for what is your most important work, Business Development Work.

As managers and business owners we are thrust into our positions through what is commonly referred to as ?Promotion into Incompetence?. We move through the ranks or begin our own businesses based on our highly developed technical skills. Little thought is given to the actual (non technical) skills and mindset needed to manage people and run a business well.

If you are having difficulty with something in your life it can generally be solved by learning new skills.

Business Coaches provide you with feedback regarding what you need to do to get your business on track. A healthy business coaching relationship will provide an honest ongoing assessment of your Business Development Activities, assisting you to focus your efforts on the areas that will have the greatest long term positive impact on your business.

Technology Innovations allow you to be involved with coaches from locations around the world. Do some research into the various Business Coaching options available to you. The internet is a great place to start your research.

I am a Business Coaching Client with the E-Myth Mastery course developed around the teachings of Michael Gerber. I can personally recommend the E-Myth Mastery Course and their associated products. The ongoing business development work completed as part of their courses continues to have a massive positive impact on the businesses that I am involved with.

Another excellent provider of Business Coaching is the Action International Group headed by Brad Sugars. More information on their products and services can be found at their web site: http://www.ActionCoaching.com

You should select a business coach based on their teaching methods and how their concepts fit in with the way you work. It can be useful to purchase some of their introductory books and audio programs which will give you a taste for some of the concepts that they will focus on in the Business Coaching.

When evaluating a particular Business Coach, ask for several references from coaching clients past and present. Contact the references and ask them questions about their experience with the Business Coaching Organizations.

Economic Growth Continues - More Than 5.3 Million Jobs Created Since August 2003
On June 2, 2006, The Government Released New Jobs Figures – 75,000 Jobs Created In May. The economy has created about 1.9 million jobs over the past 12 months – and more than 5.3 million since August 2003. The unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent – lower than the average of the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.

Revised Report Shows Fastest Real GDP Growth In Two-And-A-Half Years. Real GDP grew at an annual rate of 5.3 percent for the first quarter of this year. This follows our economic growth of 3.5 percent in 2005 – the fastest rate of any major industrialized nation.

Productivity Increased At A Strong Annual Rate Of 3.7 Percent In The First Quarter.

Real Hourly Compensation Rose At A 3.2 Percent Annual Rate In The First Quarter.

Personal Income Increased At An Annual Rate Of 6.7 Percent In April. Since January 2001, real after-tax income has risen by 12.9 percent, or 7.3 percent per person.

Real Consumer Spending Increased At An Annual Rate Of 5.2 Percent In The First Quarter.

Employment Increased In 47 States Over The Past 12 Months Ending In April. Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 41 states in April.

This Week, President Bush Nominated Henry Paulson As Treasury Secretary. Paulson has an intimate knowledge of financial markets and an ability to explain economic issues in clear terms. For the past eight years, Paulson has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Goldman Sachs Group, one of the most respected firms on Wall Street.

The President Has Expanded Tax Relief And Is Working To Make His Tax Relief Permanent. Two weeks ago, President Bush signed into law a bill that extends the tax cuts on dividends and capital gains. This legislation also contains an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch enabling millions of middle-income families to avoid paying higher taxes in 2006.

The President’s Tax Relief Has Helped Spur Growth By Keeping $880 Billion In The Pockets Of American Taxpayers. The Administration reduced taxes for every American who pays income taxes, doubled the child tax credit, reduced the marriage penalty, created investment incentives for small businesses, and put the death tax on the road to extinction.

Growing The Economy And Reducing The Deficit Depend On Controlling The Spending Appetite Of The Federal Government. Every year since the President took office, the Administration has slowed the growth of discretionary spending that is not related to the military or homeland security. The President's last two budgets cut discretionary spending that was unrelated to the military or homeland security, and we are on track to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

If The Emergency Supplemental Bill – Which The President Has Requested To Help Fund The War On Terror And Hurricane Recovery – Includes Non-Emergency Or Wasteful Spending Or Exceeds The President's Set Limit Of $92.2 Billion Plus Funding To Prepare Our Nation For A Pandemic Flu Emergency, He Will Veto It.

In The Long Run, The Biggest Challenge To Our Nation's Budgetary Health Is Entitlement Spending On Programs Such As Social Security And Medicare. We call on members of both parties to join us in a bipartisan commission to address this critical issue.

The President Will Continue Working With Congress To Restrain Spending In Other Ways, Including Passing A Line-Item Veto. A line-item veto would allow us to cut needless spending, reduce the budget deficit, and ensure that every taxpayer dollar is spent wisely – or not at all.
