Four Experts Agree Smart People Engage Coaches

Four Experts Agree: Smart People Engage Coaches Time is Money   If I had a nickel for every time a client told me… “I would ask them what they think of my new resume, but I don’t want them to think I’m crazy for spending the money to have it professionally written.” Or “I don’t know if my spouse is going to go for this. I mean, I need a job, and what I’ve been doing isn’t working, and he/she definitely wants me back to work, but what if we need that money to pay bills if I wind up still looking for a job three months from now.” Or… “I would really love to give you a testimonial. You did a fantastic job, but I don’t know if they know I didn’t get here on my own.” Of course, my clients have every right to keep our relationship confidential, and I completely respect that. However, in response: If you haven’t landed or come close to an offer three months after engaging me and you took advantage of everything that I proposed (through a formal proposal process), you get your money back. That is my guarantee. Also, smart people engage experts, and the experts will tell you that they got where they are because they engaged other experts to help teach them. Here are four experts who advise that if you want to achieve your goals, don’t spend eight hours doing adequately what an expert can do well in half the time.   “The only difference between a rich person and poor person is how they use their time” -Robert Kiyosaki, businessman and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. “Today is your day to take total control of your future! Everyone needs a great mentor!” -Bill Walsh, business coach, CEO and founder of Powerteam International. “Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.” â€" Zig Ziglar, motivational speaker, salesman and author of Better Than Good. “Effectiveness is doing the things that get you closer to your goals.” -Tim Ferriss entrepreneur, public speaker and author of The 4-Hour Workweek.   Time is money, especially when you are in transition. Every week you spend unemployed  or without a job is another week spent without optimal income. I know that it is scary to spend money when you do not know how long that money will last. But if the money you spend in transition is not increasing your chances of bringing in income in the future, then once it is spent, it is gone. I really do not mind at all if a client wants to take all the credit and keeps me a secret. It is ultimately their wise decision to invest in their success and they were smart enough to choose me.
