Is Becoming a Time LEADER What You Need to Do to Become a Coach?<\/h3>\n
Leaders create change and growth. \u00a0Leaders contribute. \u00a0 Coaches who lead make a difference beyond the coaches who just manage.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Managers keep the status\u00a0quo<\/span>. \u00a0They are all about controlling things. \u00a0They are all about resisting change.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
What do you think the difference is between what you have to do to become a coach<\/a><\/strong> who is a LEADER as opposed to a MANAGER? \u00a0Do you become a coach<\/a><\/strong> who is a leader or do you become a coach<\/strong> just works on managing your clients (which alone can be valuable anyway)?<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
My friend just told me ‘I’m becoming a better time manager’.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
GREAT.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I’m not a good time manager.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Many leaders aren’t.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I’m lousy at figuring out what the next two hours will bring and how much ‘stuff’ I can shove into those hours.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I’m good, however, at seeing where we need to go, and committing my TIME (and ultimately other’s time) to getting us there.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I may put TOO MUCH time into it.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I may put time I didn’t have into it.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I may break other commitments because of it. \u00a0I may miss out.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
But the change will come… and people will follow. \u00a0People will go with me on that journey. \u00a0Coaches will know what to do to become a coach<\/strong> because of the leadership I provide.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
That’s leadership.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n

Do you become a coach<\/strong> like Steve Jobs?<\/h3>\n
When Steve Jobs sat in a garage with Steve Wozniak, tinkering with electronic components to make the first 100 Apples BY HAND, they weren’t good time managers.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
But they were great time LEADERS.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
When Napster founder Shawn Fanning sat in his dorm room to create Napster, he was not managing his time.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n

Do you become a coach like Michael Dell?<\/h3>\n
When Michael Dell started Dell in a similar dorm room, he was not managing his time.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I could go on, but you get the idea? \u00a0It’s not how much of something you can do in an hour, or how organized your hours are that matters. \u00a0What DOES matter is WHAT you are going to do and making certain that your time is DEDICATED to the goal and the mission.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I remember when I first started my coaching practice. \u00a0I was running big trainings and I was also carrying a full client load. \u00a0I was managing my time pretty well, and I thought I was doing what I needed to do to become a coach<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Then I hit the wall.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I either lost a bunch of clients in one month that I couldn’t seem to replace, or I ran out of trainings to provide and then the coaching income wasn’t enough to pay the bills. \u00a0My coach finally asked me, “Jeff, do you become a coach<\/strong> who is a regular ‘on the phone’ coach, or are you going to be a seminar leader?” \u00a0I finally had to make a leadership decision…<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
What was I committed to and what mode of teaching and helping was I going to give up on?<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
I finally worked out that I would commit to being the best coach I could on the phone and that I would leave the motivational speaking to the gurus. \u00a0I ended up partnering with many ‘Guru Types’ and making both of us a lot of money, as well as understanding what I needed to do to become a coach<\/span> that could make a difference for thousands.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Managers of time like to plan out their hours and minutes. \u00a0They can’t waste much time. \u00a0They can’t have any open time. \u00a0WHY? \u00a0because the time they are putting in isn’t very valuable anyway, so they have to dedicate all their time to the little value they can add so they can GET BY on what they’ve got.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
But if only they would start LEADING rather than MANAGING their time, they’d find that they don’t have to worry about managing their time anymore, because they’ll just have more for themselves and everyone else as well. \u00a0In fact other good time MANAGERS will approach them and ask to help.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n

No matter how you do become a coach, the time will get managed properly and all will work out.<\/h3>\n
Do you Become a coach<\/strong> Who is More of a Time Manager?<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
If so, then you should link up with the leader type and follow their vision, because you’ll need it. \u00a0What you need to do to become a coach<\/span> will be different than what the leaders will need to do to become a coach.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Managers need to keep the time and make everything tick like a clock for the leader… that’s valuable work to do to become a coach.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Leaders have to stop the clock and re set it when the new ‘time’ truly serves the needs of society in that moment… that’s a rare find.<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Do you become a coach<\/span> who is a time manager, or a coach who is a time leader? \u00a0Only you can say, but don’t miss the mark… Only time will tell if you’re right.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
