Coaching and mentoring has always come very easily to me. I’ve always loved working with wrestlers on my school teams and summer camps to help them improve their skills. I first experienced coaching and mentoring for wrestling in 1994.

I never realized how awesome those skills were until I graduated and started out in the business world in 2001. Coaching and helping people to develop their own business through National Agents Alliance and NAA Power Players Players was a natural transition for me.

I had always thought of coaching and mentoring as something you do with sports teams, but apparently you can do it with many other organizations and individuals as well.

At first I assumed that business coaching was pretty much the same thing as therapy, but it has some pretty important differences. Coaching and mentoring doesn’t seek to solve personality problems, but to help you make decisions and to psych you up so that you can stick with those decisions.

A good coach and mentor will inspire you and help you find out what you really want out of life. It can have a lot to do with long-term goals, but first it starts out with immediate actions. It is a great way to get you to pick yourself up and start moving again.

That’s what I do with NAA Power Players. National Agents Alliance is just the tool like a hammer or screw driver. You can use any tool to achieve your results. This is just the one that I use.

I went to see a few life coaches over the last few years. My wife and I even paid $15,000 for a week long leadership retreat to the Grand Cayman Islands in 2007.

It was all pretty straightforward, simple stuff, but it had some pretty powerful implications. Sometimes, the simplest techniques are the best. All you need is someone dedicated and inspiring to help you put them into practice.

Of course, the most important things in coaching and mentoring are not the techniques themselves but your attitude. Having a healthy attitude is what it’s all about. No matter how much theory you have, if you’re pessimistic, grouchy, and uninspiring, you will get mediocre results at best. If you can really bring a lot of energy to the program, on the other hand, you will be able to easily make a difference.

Sometimes, people just need someone cheering for them for a couple hours to get their lives back on track. National Agents Alliance is AWESOME for this!

The #1 thing I learned at that retreat was that YOU truly can accomplish ANYTHING that you want if you will just BELIEVE it. When doubt creeps in is when you feel fear and end up quitting too early… How sad is it that EVERYONE can achieve their dreams if they refuse not to quit.

The thing I love about my partnership with National Agents Alliance is not only helping families protect their mortgage but having the chance to significantly impact people’s lives with a simple business system that they can use to achieve freedom in their life…

At NAA Power Players I apply the same coaching and mentoring methods that I learned in my retreat to help my agents achieve the kind of personal growth in their lives that they desire.

At first I thought $15,000 was a lot of money, but when I realized how easily I could use these principles with my National Agents Alliance team, the value of the retreat shot up to well over 6 figures…even more.

Think about it. When I help just 5 people become millionaires as a result of my mentoring and training, and I earn many millions in override income, then how much was the value of that retreat? And this isn’t even including the emotional fulfillment of being “the one” person who came into a person’s life and completely altered his direction. Amazing!

And you know what else… Ten years from now I could lose all my millions and do you know what I would still have? All my relationships and of course knowledge I learned along the way. Don’t be afraid of failure.

If you’re not getting the coaching and mentoring with NAA Power Players you need to take your business income to the next level, consider a

It may sound strange to hear, but many people are programmed for failure. We come up with all sorts of rationalizations, but what it really comes down to is that we are used to not succeeding. We learn all kinds of habits that defeat us, from putting off work over and over again to repeating self-defeating predictions to ourselves until they become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Success coaching combined with the National Agents Alliance system is a simple idea, but a powerful one: by focusing on learning the techniques, habits, and skills of successful sales people, we can all become more productive, successful, and happy people.

Of course, the idea of success coaching isn’t exactly new. As matter of fact, it has its antecedents in many disciplines of psychology. Freud himself did a lot of work on the self-defeating and self-undermining attitudes that so many people have. He had his own theory about why they occur, as other psychologists had their own theories.

The success coach doesn’t focus so much on the theories as on the behaviors themselves. In success coaching, we don’t really try to look for the underlying causes, but find out the ways you can break through the behaviors.

I have friends who are success coaches and I think they really rubbed off on me. Ultimately, I have always been the kind of person who has to make his own mistakes.

I only started to taste success with National Agents Alliance after I decided to focus on independently on National Agents Alliance.

I knew that I had to take a stand and change my habits to focus 100% of my time on my one business and things would take off. I looked at my own life and business habits, and made a list of everything I do wrong and everything I do right.

Then I systematically decided how I was going to transform my worst habits into my best. Imagine that, turning your worst habit into your best attribute each year. It wouldn’t be long before you’ve completely transformed your character identity for the better of course.

For me, success coaching is about positively impacting the lives of other people and benefiting from those relationships for the rest of my life. There are a lot of success coaches out there, but none of them have an actual business system to help you achieve freedom.

And freedom is what everybody really wants and needs so that they can create more time to focus on those things they want to change in their life. (That’s why I partnered with National Agents Alliance.)

Many success coaches just scream at you from behind to “get going” but all that fuel does you no good without a map to follow.

It’s like stepping your foot down on the electric peddle in those go carnival go carts that seem to spin all over the place without having total control of your direction.

Sure there are those who already have a solid business and system to follow but in most cases, those people already have mentoring or coaching from the person who taught them the business. Most people need success coaching but they need a business system to go with it.

And even when you have the best mentor money can buy who tells you exactly what to do, you’re still going to fail and make mistakes. But you have to learn to love making mistakes and grow from them. Sometimes having to figure things out yourself makes the understanding much deeper.

Nonetheless, I still wish that I had a success coach in those early years to tell me exactly what I needed to do. It would have made my learning curve much shorter and saved me a lot of time and money.

Fortunately, NAA has a network of a few thousand agents who network and share ideas with each other through daily conference calls, recorded audios and live events. You just can’t get a better support system than this. Click the link for a taste of National Agents Alliance Success Coaching.
