You want a business coach because you’re ready for a big jump in your career within your small business or executive role. The jump from 100k to 250k took a lot of out you, and now the way ahead is about doing less, earning more, and enjoying a life you love. But you can’t see a clear way forward from 250k on up to $1M in income. Our guess is that about 2 years ago you knew something had to change; you became doubtful and feeling helpless. Back then everything you were putting into your business and life wasn’t worth the effort because everything got so complex. You had goals, you had all the best intentions, but your traction was outlawed and ambushed by the overwhelm of life at break-neck speed. Suddenly the confidence turns to doubt when freedom turns to interference.
Outside business your mind is full of thoughts that run your attention away from your family and health. You only wish you could sit still and stake inventory of the life that’s here. You’re just too busy being busy to do something that could make you a lot less busy. A serious tension between the personal and professional dimensions of life has emerged. Even if the best opportunity landed right in your lap, you couldn’t get your headspace around it, and then all the fun and spirit of being an entrepreneur starts to fade. And this is the danger zone for all entrepreneurs, when they get very reactive, mechanical, frustrated, and discouraged and then a lot of messes begin to show up in their life to reinforce a deep growing sense of powerlessness and hopelessness. They lose their edge, and then tumble down the rapids of a dull life.
Then you find an escape plan; an “aha moment” when your values are in conflict with your ambition. So you decided to look for a way out to basically “pull it all together” after realizing that your business isn’t your identity, you are a full person, healthy in all aspects. But another year goes skimming by like a blur, and again despite this shift of heart and mind, you find yourself stuck in the myriad of reactions, obligations, roles, and labels, social expectations, and finding yourself a bit lost with a ton of potential in a sliding vortex of doubt. You can’t get to anything that matters, or just the thrill of so much going on leaves you no time to think or plan. You’ve just experienced a natural phenomenon faced by all entrepreneurs we coach called “The Plateau of Progress.” And HLP Group has a Ph.D. in solving it.
You need help, but it’s not a therapist, or a doctor, you need something to help you bring your best work to the top, someone who’ll hold you accountable, a world-class resource with the tools and methods to black-belt finesse you and your business, and someone who’ll give you the no-nonsense bottom line feedback and direction you need to go to the next level. That means without burnout, instead with new freedom, confidence, and a sense of purpose. If this is who you are, it sounds like the life coaching you need is our task. Our unique lifetime focusing process we call “Entrepreneurship 3.0” is new operating software for working at your very best.
At HLP Group, we know that the world needs you happy
The secret to happiness is very simple. Love what you do, and do what you love. We’re passionate about one thing above all else: “Turning you into a serial creator!” That’s right. We want you to be the best at dream conversion, not just as an individual creator, but as a gifted boss who empowers others around him to align their aspirations to his own. Our dream is to have you bring into union three elements that drive your attention in life: Creative Freedom, Creative Value, and Creative Purpose. These words mean the world to us because when brought into union you’re positioned in life to realize your potential as an entrepreneur who can bring something to the world that only you can. To do that, you have to be the best at reflective practices like having a vision of the future you seek to create, as well as a clear and accurate view of the present moment in relationship to it. Your life coach helps you remember these reference points at all times. You need to have clear action steps and moves that your desired future depends on to come into being. And along the way you must develop the flexibility and mutability to make moment to moment strategic adjustments to increase your creative capacities. Will your life coach work on issues and personal hang up’s, no! Your coach is geared to help you create what matters to you, not fix your quirks. You should be aware of your limits, but keep your attention on what matters most to you and operate out of there.
Your fundamental orientation to life is a choice
Most people are at best reacting and responding to the circumstances that are imposed on them. They forget they have a fundamental choice available to them at all times---“They choose to become a predominant creative force in their life!” When you organize your life in such a way, you come into the present moment liberated by aliveness and resilience for accepting current reality as if the future needs it. You touch a newfound courage to create what matters to you in your life, with freight-train conviction, as something wanting to end moves out, and something else still indistinct is on its way in like a change in seasons. Living out of this orientation of the creative, you become aware of new skills needed by the aspirations you behold; you learn by causing something you deeply care about (a business; relationship; sacred project) to exist. And someone out there, a client, a new market is meant to be served by this radical creativity lying dormant in you. With your business coach, you bring this into everything you do, like a prime directive. It suggests that you shift from living from the past to living from an emerging future possibility that needs you to listen from your heart, to come into reality.
As you listen and follow from the heart not your head, suddenly your decisions, habits, awareness, and state of being are in constant rapport with this creative force, like an underground river flowing beneath. This is what it feels like to lead a life and business on-purpose with the help of a life coach. You owe the world what you love, because that’s your DNA talking; something big stands in need of you. This sacred project lying pregnant in you is waiting to be born. Your business coach is the mid-wife; the bridge builder to help the world see the opportunity of you. He takes the composition of your best abilities integrated with your burning desires and dreams and channels them into a business model that’s rigged to create enormous value and earning power for you.
You need a place to implement via key structures that support you
To operate out of this integrated place, connected deeply to what matters to you and what you enjoy doing most, you must consider the fortitude of three aspects: 1) your support system, and 2) your habits, and three 3) your relationships. You need supportive structures you can operate from as an entrepreneur (serial creator). Since you rely on confidence and freedom to operate at your very best, your life coach will help you put the right structures in place to delegate. Delegation confidence is positioning others who love performing in the areas where you need help, so you can position yourself to operate within your domain of self-efficacy (personal gift). Your life coach will bring a framework, a roadmap to your aid, so that you can operate smoothly setting up these structures from which your performance will be enhanced by your team’s competency levels. All the activities you don’t enjoy will be removed, and what’s left is FUN DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST.
Your Team is about to hit the Stratosphere
To rise to your best, you also want your managers and salespeople on point, but they’re just not quite there yet. You need to see first what’s going on and test their ability to focus under pressure. You want to see whether they’ve got the right stuff to get the job done; are they the right horses in the stable? The Management and Leadership System and the TAIS Act program both will help you predict future performance and correct any misalignments. The TOPSCAN system for hiring will help you get the right people on the bus slowly and carefully and wrong people off, fast. You and your partner(s) want a way to team build, matching strengths to weaknesses to increase the horsepower of the leadership team. Our Partnership Compatibility process can help there too.
It’s not about just discipline, it’s about habits
By now you know your habits create opportunities for you. You’re 100% disciplined to your own habits. When you keep your word, or finish what you begin, others refer you, depend on you, and open doors for you. When you’re on time and courteous about showing gratitude, others seek your presence. And when you do this toward the right type of client you’re meant to serve, it’s even better. All the enjoyment and regard you have for your ideal client just galvanizes the effortless performance you give to creating value for them. With your business coach you’ll be weeding the garden of laggards and vampire clients and vendors who suck you dry, redirecting you to create take your breath away , one-of-a kind client experiences that are crucial to the future success of your ideal client. That means translating your wisdom and intellectual capital into your business as if it’s art; less machine-like and more organically capable of high impact, emotional sensory input with your customer. That’s how we suggest you aim in the game of business. It’s about transformative conversations with the right clients you desire, bringing your best work to their futures. When you integrate your best self, their world, their qualities, along with what really matters to you, you enter a zone where radical creativity and endless personal and professional growth is possible.
Your business is a cash flow machine, and if you build it, your business can furnish you amazing rewards. To build it robust as a business instead of owning a job doing low lying activities, you have to shift your thinking and your behavior as a business owner. You need to begin seeing the separation between you as creator and your business as the creation. Your business is a work of art that you systematize, optimize, outfit, lead, and build…it is an organism structurally geared to succeed or fail depending on how you position it. Business owner habits at $1M in income are highly different that those at $250k.
It’s never been a better time to create than now
To get ahead in the modern world, it’s about which leader has the most spiritual punch behind what they do. The game is who gets to be himself; who is the most authentic. It’s about leading your organization toward greater creativity, responsibility, and organization. Autonomy brings results, giving orders and people following it (control) doesn’t. You want people in your organization thinking for it too, not just you having all the answers and taking all the burdens. They need the luxury of making mistakes.
True freedom is about setting up the currents around you in life, to keep you connected to what always wants to emerge from the future. The game is about being more of yourself (self-knowledge), and being competitive out of it. You have to make room in you for what’s emerging. This universally speaks to both life and business arenas, it’s all connected. The work of the leader is “to die” in the truest sense, meaning to accept the truth of what’s here without bringing the past into it, and only attending out of emerging future possibilities which position his destined being (dormant self). This shift begins with learning how to create with your business coach guiding you every step of the way on the mechanics, spirit, and orientation of the creative process. Nothing fuses your intellectual (IQ), emotional (EQ) and spiritual (SQ) intelligences better than the creative act. It’s the only way to being fully realized. And it starts with shifting your quality of awareness to different depths of attention from which your actions arise. You can become so still and present to the moment that literally you’re creating the future every second.
You want a life that’s full, limitless and creatively free? Your life coach will help you play all the music you have in you. You better get busy living it, because you’re not immortal! You’ve come here because you know there’s more in you to give, more in you to accomplish, more out of life there is to live and savor.
You have a Deep Commitment to Learning and Evolving
When you step into life coaching, you make a lifestyle choice. You choose to take on the best in life by collaboration, rather than being a lone gunslinger carrying the weight on your back. Rather than repelling or eliminating the unwanted circumstances in life, your coach repositions you toward a generative orientation, one that highly involves all you are.
Today, you have to plan at a much faster speed of change. Along with setting intentions, your best decisions often come out of setting your best attention on what you’re doing. Seriously, life today is context in motion like never before with a rapid unfolding of future possibilities that are constantly connecting with a future that’s showing up moment by moment. You reflect IN action, not ON action like before. This has serious implications to the fundamental way of operating as a high functioning leader. Your levels of awareness at any given moment is just as important as the remembrance of your deepest goals and intentions you must stay on. Your awareness of an entire system around you at play (systems thinking) is just as important as your awareness of yourself and your thinking as a key factor in the entire system.
With your life coach, you become comfortable with your own ignorance. You learn to let go of your habitual judgment, cynicism, and fears, to vulnerably and willingly open yourself to the blind-spot outside your familiar boundaries. You see the benefit of a wingman and climbing buddy to rise above the icebergs in your life to live fully and freely forward into the mysteries of the blind spot unfold into distinct clarity. Through this creative process, you’ll evolve in many ways, from learning to accept and immerse in the present moment without pushing against it, to staying with a deep intention that pulls your life into one thematic direction, to choice management within the context of what does matter to you, not what should. And also to bring a stillness practice to everyday living, so you can operate out of the deeper sources of attention and highest creative intelligence. You may find that for the first time, you’re firing on all cylinders integrating who you are---mind, body, and spirit, opening up to new channels and currents of life that shift your involvement and relationship with the present moment in very special, quite magical ways.
No one becomes a black belt overnight! Life coaching is a lifetime commitment to learning and evolving because the best have to get better.
