Green Sprouts Spouts off For the Growth Coach!
Ron Jakubiak and The Growth Coach are an excellent resource for any business. Ron truly listens to you and focuses on what the "pain" is for your business operations. In my particular business, we needed help in our sales pitch and expanding our market base to be more successful. They provided excellent sales tools including personality analysis to help with the process. The tools and the training provided took most of the fear of selling away, and refocused what a sales call truly is: Providing a service that can be useful to another company. I would recommend the Florida Growth Coach and Ron to any business that needs a fresh outside perspective to help them grow stronger. They provide not only ideas for your business issues, but support throughout the implementation process of improving your business. They are there for you and your business to get stronger.

Good Salespeople Are Not Afraid of NO!
“BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIKE BUSES. THERE’S ALWAYS ANOTHER ONE COMING!” Richard Branson: Virgin Founder and Entrepeneur. I saw this quote from Richard Branson a few weeks ago and really liked the message. It’s a great way to look at not only business, but it’s the perfect analogy of the sales process. How do you feel when a prospect says ‘NO? Do you feel personal rejection? Or do you feel a challenge? Even the greatest athletes experience loss on a regular basis. Imagine what it must feel like…out in front of tens of thousands of fans, just moments left in the game, everything seemingly in your favor, then you ‘drop the ball.’ The game is lost and there is no question as to who is to blame! How do you recover?....

Do You Have a Practice or a Business?
What is the difference between a 'practice' and a 'business'? In a practice you are the boss. Everything pretty much revolves around you. You make the decisions…the big ones and the small ones. In a business, you lead a team. You seek to grow beyond yourself. Practice..or Business? Which is better? Neither is better..or worse, what's important is knowing which one you really want...which fits you needs and makes you happy!

Leadership Basics!


Leaders don’t just strategize; they excel at execution, making things happen through exceptional communication and influencing skills. They learn to guide a diverse range of individuals to somewhere they may not initially want to go, while maintaining respect. Leaders master the art of praise, guidance and authority. As our friend Dr. James Moore says (from a proverb) "If someone thinks he is leading, but no one is following, then he is just going for a walk!" Here are some thoughts on becoming a leader that others will want to follow.

Protecting Your Most Valuable Assets, Your Intellectual Property, With Agreements for Employees, Clients, Vendors and Associates.


You’ve spent hundreds of hours developing sales or marketing strategies, only to have an employee you once considered loyal, leave your company to start his own business using virtually the same strategies you worked so hard to develop.  Had you invested in relatively inexpensive employment and client agreements, you might have some recourse in this theft and plagiarism.  It’s much easier to develop and implement these agreements when you first start your business, but it is never too late to introduce them.

RE-ENERGIZE YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM!
What you believe, you can achieve! One of the greatest assets of the true entrepreneur is his or her belief system.

Here are some ideas to help get your belief system back on track.

The Mirror Mentor
"Unto thine own self be true."
Shakespeare had it right. When we are totally honest with ourselves, we can make powerful, life-changing decisions. Are you happy with your business life? Are you achieving your financial goals? Are you happy with your quality of your personal life? Are you a prisoner of your own taking? Maybe it's time to plan the escape...
