Start Sales Pitch …

I’m in the last stage of my official training to become a certified professional coach.

I’ve finished the in-class course work and have now moved into the practicum.

I’m currently practicing at a discounted rate and my rates will double once practicum is completed.

So if you’re interested in …

• achieving your goals faster then ever
• taking your personal and professional life to the next level
• or just trying to figure out what your life’s dream might be

… send me an email at ronatfocusedfooldotcom.

FYI … This is on top of my current certification as a Master NLP Practioner and Master Ericksonian Hypnosis Practioner.

The air date for my debut on reality TV will be on Thursday October 12 at 8pm on the Rogers community channel.

The show is called Mind Your Own Business and runs from September 21 right thru to November 30.

Not sure what the final product will look like so I encourage everyone to tune-in to see me make a (focused) fool out of myself :).

One of my first tasks today was to design my working time schedule.

I found that during the summer it was unclear for me and my family what was work time and what was home time.

Interruptions happened often and it just frustrated everyone.

So … in an effort to keep everyone sane my wife and I came up with the following work time rules.

1) During a regular day (Monday to Friday) working from home

• Official work time is Monday to Friday from 7am to 2pm
• Family time is from 2pm to 7pm
• Un-official work time from 7pm until 11ish (when I go to bed)

2) Official work time is reserved for those specific activities that will grow my business like:

• Marking efforts
• Sales calls
• Providing coaching and training services
• Business planning
• Writing content (books, ebooks, articles, e-zine, etc)
• Personal development (need to limit this one)
• Balance the books and other cashflow related work

3) Un-official work time is for those things that I like to explore, play with and fine tune:

• Enhancing features on website
• Designing logos
• Exploring content on the web

4) No email / phone calls during family time

5) When I’m out of the home all day (working / training) then no work that evening (not even email)

6) During official work time I get dressed up and go to work (even if working from home)

7) I don’t do any personal stuff during work time (I don’t even answer our home line)

Family has agreed to respect work time and I have agreed to respect family time.

This should make life easier for everyone.

Summer vacation is over.

Today I’m officially in business mode.

It’s time to get serious (don’t worry … I believe it’s important to have fun staying focused) about building my company.

Over the past few months I’ve been working on my business plan, refining concepts and developing content.

I’ve been developing myself by learning about sales and investing in training to refine my coaching skills.

My plan for the summer was to relax, unwind, invest in myself, do some homework and enjoy time with my family.

Having completed this … It’s now time switch to action mode and make this business a reality.

I have a few updates that I will be announcing over the next few days as I switch modes that I know you will want to hear.

Check back often as I will be making updates on a much more regular basis.
