As a business success coach, you may find it challenging to help your success coaching clients reach their goals. Your business success coach clients will need to reinvent themselves to get the results they want. For this, the human mind has amazing power. One way to harness this power for your success coaching client, is to use the “act as if” principle.

Success Coaching: Help Your Business Success Coach Client Use The “Act As If” Principle

.

Your business success coach client’s mind operates in three compartments: the past, the present and the future. Just as in success coaching, your business success coach client has the ability to imagine reaching their goals in the future. Let’s say their goal is to earn $100,000 in the next 12 months. If they knew they were going to do that, what actions would they take to achieve the goal? Have your business success coach client begin to take the actions consistent with earning $100,000 in the next 12 months, right now.

Success Coaching: Motivate Your Business Success Coach Client With The Story Of Jim Carrey

.

Your business success coaching client probably knows who the comedian Jim Carrey is. What your success coaching client may not know is that Jim Carrey, at one time, lived in his van. Throughout that time, he used the “act as if” principle. When he started working in comedy, he wrote himself a check for 10 million dollars. On the pay-to-the-order-of line, he wrote his name. On the memo line of the check he wrote, “For acting services rendered.” He dated the check November 24, 1995. From then on, he began to “act as if” he were going to cash the check on that date. He carried the check with him for a few years.

Jim Carrey began to take the actions of a comedian who would command a 10 million dollar payday. He went to every audition he could. He spent hours every day looking at himself in the mirror, teaching himself to make funny faces. For years, he acted “as if” he were going to cash that check. Within 30 days of the due date, he made 10 million dollars.

Have your business success coach client choose a goal. Ask them, “If you absolutely knew you were going to reach your goal by (date), what actions would you take?” Have them write down the steps they think of. Then use your success coaching techniques to teach them to “act as if” they knew they would accomplish the goal. You can use the “act as if” principle to transform every success coaching client you work with. You’ll be amazed at how much it adds to your tool belt as a business success coach.

As a business success coach, you need to help your success coaching client get better every day. Napolean Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said, “One good idea is all a person needs to achieve great success.” Many of your success coaching clients have a lot of ideas. In fact, they may have too many ideas. That is why they need a business success coach. You are there to help them actually grow their business, instead of just being a know-it-all. I’ll share with you a way of thinking that will help your business success coach clients get the results they want.

Success Coaching: Teach The “Baseline Strategy” To Your Business Success Coach Clients

.

Right now, in this moment, your business success coach client is one good idea away from multiplying the results they get in business. Once you teach your success coaching client this thought process, they will be able to benefit from it the rest of their life. The thought process is called the “Baseline Strategy.” Your clients’ business success and life success is a combination of all the skills they have right now. It is their time management, sales skills, goal setting and communication skills, etc. The baseline strategy is to have your client keep doing what they’ve been doing that’s working for them. Then, add one new idea or one strategy, and they will see an increase in their results in that area.

For example: let’s say your business success coach client wasn’t asking for referrals from their current clients. Then they hire you to give them success coaching, and you teach them how to ask for referrals. If they add that to what they are already doing, they will improve on the results they are already getting in their business.

Success Coaching: Have Your Business Success Coach Clients Write Down Good Ideas In A Hard Bound Journal Instead Of Yellow Pads

.

One common problem success coaching clients have is that of having a lot of ideas but no way to organize them. One way to help your business success coach client start to use the baseline strategy is to have them use a journal. When I talk about a journal, I mean a hardbound journal. Your client should take notes when they go to seminars or on coaching sessions with you, but if they write them on a yellow pad they will get lost. When they write them in a hardbound journal, however, they will capture the great ideas permanently. This strategy will help your success coaching client achieve and increase their success in business and in life.
