"Brian Tracy in many of his books strongly suggests if you want to be in the top 4% of your profession seek out the best in your industry and learn from them. When I started my Business Coaching franchise in the middle of 2010 I followed that logic and hired someone I believe to be one of the Top Business Coaches in North America and probably the World, DAN CREED of Phoenix, Arizona. From day one this was an excellent decision and Dan has helped me to get Clarity around both what I want out of my business and how to achieve it. He is an excellent listener, an exceptional teacher and a brilliant coach. There is no question in my mind that I greatly accelerated the growth curve for my business and the information gained during our discussions have and will continue to help me to a GREAT Business Coach for my clients. I strongly recommend Dan to anyone that is looking for help to take their business to the next level. He is a pleasure to work with, has an incredible wealth of experience and regardless of your business he will GET RESULTS!!!"

I just want to take a moment to say that Brian Tracy’s Tele-Seminar today about planning now for 2013 was really fabulous. He was concise, direct and really came across as if he genuinely cared and was talking “to” us and not at “us”. Another great thing he did was point out actual examples straight out of current events in the business world. One golden nugget (and there were many) he gave away was his idea of “Face Time”, and how this is the only true “Work Time” of your day. He then went on to give us a real candid view of what time he starts his workday, how many calls he makes, and his daily target of “Face Time” exchanges. Hearing how Brian actually applies his own theories to his own work day really inspired me.

After the call ended, I reviewed the notes I took through out and decided to take action. Since the call, I’ve decided to hire a Focal Point Coach. This is a HUGE step for me and will require me to take a leap of faith. But from what I’ve learned from Brian over the last few months listening to his audio programs, big change and life turnarounds are a result of  NEW massive action. And trust me, growing up, I was never exposed to or even knew there was such a thing as a “Business Coach.”

My FocalPoint Coach is Margaret Maclay. I chose her to be my coach after interviewing other coaching services. Margaret is enthusiastic, patient, and never came across as a hard sell. She genuinely seemed to be more interested in hearing more about MY needs, feelings, concerns, goals, and walking me through how the process works before asking for a commitment. I can’t wait to get started on this brand new success chapter of my life.

Marco Freza, NYC

Having been a member of the FocalPoint Coaching team for almost 5 years now it’s fantastic that every time I have the opportunity to hear Brian speak, the light bulb goes off.   During Brian’s Tele-Seminar today about planning now for 2013, he put this question we must constantly ask ourselves on the table: “Is what I am doing right now the most important thing I need to be doing to move my business forward?”  Such a critical question not only for me in my coaching practice but for my clients in their variety of roles and businesses. Everyone struggles with time management because they do not “do” the most important thing most of the time. Immediately following the call I made a list of all the things I need to be doing in a week and prioritized them utilizing the AB method Brian discussed, and have consolidated that list into the “must do’s” to move my business forward. I plan to do this exercise with every one of my clients by the end of the summer.

Jim is a great communicator and facilitator. He received a rating of 4.9 on a five point scale in a post training survey we conducted. The Brian Tracy material supported our efforts by providing a logical and sequential framework allowing us to explore all the steps of the sales process. If you are looking for sales training or business coaching, I highly recommend using Jim Masters of FocalPoint Business Coaching.

Margaret,

I just have to thank you for such a fabulous session yesterday!

This coaching is worth its weight in gold.

I now have an even larger, grander vision (which I am in the process of rewriting) and will send along.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!

I have been working with Coach Dan for roughly three months now and no, I am not a millionaire by any means, but there isn't a doubt in my mind that I will make it there some day, and some day in the near future. Is my business running more smoothly and efficiently? Most definitely! Is it perfect, no? Will it be, yes?

This is the point. My attitude, knowledge base, state of mind, confidence, ability to think clearly, act efficiently, and work smart have all transformed. There is nothing more that you need to become successful.

My Business is Different - what do you know about "widgets"?

Great question. You're right. We'll probably never know as much about your industry as you do. See, you're in your business - whatever that might be...White Collar, Blue Collar, etc.

We're in the Business OF Business. That means we specialize in Operations, Systems, Processes, and Improvement. Our subjects might sound dry, but the real trick of our job is to make it enjoyable for you. Not only to learn about it, but to apply it.

Did you know the acid test for a great coaching session? We hold ourselves to this mark...

"Can the client use what we discussed within 24 hours of our meeting?"

FocalPoint Coaches focus on reality, not theory.

"Our clients can expect to get $7 to $10 for every dollar they invest"

Brian Tracy

Here's what some of your peers had to say about using a coach...

Re: Susan Spitz

The Brian Tracy materials are very practical and the application questions really focused me in on what I needed to do to get more organized and systemized, and how to tap into my long-range goals for motivation and to keep me on the right track. By the third week, the coaching sessions had become the highlight and most important hour of my week.

B.Denman, Malone Construction, St.Louis, Missouri

It is a fact that every business has two common sides: the "O" and "E" side of business. The "O" being the Organizational (or People) side of the business and the "E"being the Economic (or Financial) side.

We all know it is important to maintain a strong balance on both the "E"and "O" side to be successful. However, what often occurs (especially in small to medium businesses) is the mad rush to meet the numbers while unintentionally ignoring the business' greatest asset, the people. The short-term spike you get in meeting the numbers is usually followed by a mad rush to pay closer attention to the people. Sound familiar? This is a "Teeter-Totter Effect" that results in turnover, morale issues, etc.

Paul Cashen strengths lie in the area of bring the balance back to business. The tools he uses are effective for coaching businesses of all sizes (start-ups to large organizations). If your business is experiencing the "Teeter-Totter effect", I would strongly recommend a consultation with Paul Cashen, Focal Point Coaching.
