Guest post by: Glenn Ebersole

Article Overview: At each business coaching session or Strategic Planning Team meeting, I always ask clients to share a positive business & personal experience they have had since our last meeting. Most times my clients readily share something, but sometimes they hesitate or struggle to think of something positive to share. This experience of witnessing their hesitancy and/or their struggle with my request has been extremely eye-opening and valuable to me as a business coach. It has provided me with an opportunity to coach them on how to achieve a positive, proactive and prosperous life and to recognize the many positive things that surround them everyday, which they may be taking for granted or not recognizing. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach developed the following list of strategic actions to achieve that positive,proactive & prosperous life.

Thirteen Strategic Actions To Achieve A Positive, Proactive and Prosperous Life

At each of my business coaching sessions or at a Strategic Planning Team meeting, I always ask my clients to share a positive story or positive business and personal experience that they have had since our last meeting. I strongly believe in celebrating success in business and in our personal life and encourage my clients to do just that. Most of the time, my clients readily share something, but sometimes they hesitate or struggle to think of something positive to share. This experience of witnessing their hesitancy and/or their struggle with this has been extremely eye-opening and valuable to me as a business coach. It has provided me with an opportunity to coach them on how to achieve a positive, proactive and prosperous life and to recognize the many positive things that surround them everyday, which they may be taking for granted or not recognizing. Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach developed the following list of strategic actions that if followed will afford you the opportunity to never be at a loss to share something positive when asked to do so.

Strategic Action #1: Develop a clearly defined and focused vision for your business and your personal life.

Strategic Action #2: Develop goals and objectives with deadlines for your business and yourself

Strategic Action #3: Commit to and become a better steward of your time. Work toward being a better manager of your time and make sure you include time for yourself and family.

Strategic Action #4: Become a lifelong learner. Always look for and take advantage of new learning opportunities.

Strategic Action #5: Always be thankful for whatever you have. Commit to being positive and to adopt an attitude of thankfulness.

Strategic Action #6: Focus on what you have achieved, rather than what you have not achieved. Avoid the “perfectionist syndrome.”

Strategic Action #7: Make investments in yourself. As a business coach, I highly recommend that my clients invest in their self-improvement. There are many avenues to do this and I believe the best or one of the best investments you can make today is an investment in yourself.


Strategic Action #8: Overcome your fears and gain the “will to win.” Fear is a very powerful negative emotion that kills motivation. Most people will never take chances because they fear failure or some other consequence. By taking some chances you will have a greater probability of success as compared to those who never take a chance.

Strategic Action #9: Find good mentors and retain a professional coach. The advice and the independent view gained from them will be very valuable to you.

Strategic Action #10: Be someone who gives, but does not expect anything in return. Give to others “without any strings attached.”

Strategic Action #11: Follow the Golden Rule and treat other people the way you would like to be treated.

Strategic Action #12: Discover your passion and follow it in your business and your personal life!

Strategic Action #13: Commit to achieving good health. Strive to have a healthy mind and a healthy body.

Your strategic thinking business coach encourages you to fully realize the benefits of business coaching to achieve a positive, proactive and prosperous life.

Re: Charge what you're worth - [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd] Hi Tami, You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35). I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
