Business Coach: Do You Employ the Yard by Yard or Inch by Inch Methodology to Master Success
Business Coach: Do You Employ the Yard by Yard or Inch by Inch Methodology to Master Success
The first approach is the Yard by Yard. Within this methodology, the client looks to the future and established what some call BHAG (Big Hairy & Audacious Goals). Plans are established and tactics are created to move forward yard by yard. Excitement reigns as the client eagerly looks forward to the future in anticipation of achieving these goals and becoming the Master of Success.
However, what happens in many cases is just the opposite. The Yard by Yard approach is much harder than the coaching client realizes. Instead of being viewed as just a few feet, the yard is viewed as a mile long because success is not easily achieved. Now an attitude of failure kicks in and each yard becomes even harder than the yard before. The road to success is now filled with obstacles that appear to be mountains instead of molehills.
The other approach is Inch by Inch. Basically, this methodology looks at the elephant in the room and begins to nibble away at it bite by bite. The client knows what he or she wants, but this coach knows that yard by yard is very hard.
So, the business coach shows how to turn those big hairy audacious goals or BHAG into much smaller and more manageable goals. Now the goal to master success comes much easier. A business coach who infuses a proven goal setting and goal achievement process within their business understands that inch by inch are truly a cinch.
If you want to increase your business success as a business coach to get to where you want to go as you travel the road to success, then maybe you need to determine if you are doing the yard by yard is very hard or inch by inch is a cinch methodology.

If you are a business coach or even considering hiring a business coach, what methodology do you infuse within your practice? During the last 10 years, I have observed two distinct methodologies.
The first approach is the Yard by Yard. Within this methodology, the client looks to the future and established what some call BHAG (Big Hairy & Audacious Goals). Plans are established and tactics are created to move forward yard by yard.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
