So many people have dreams of being “millionaires” one day… but the truth is they can’t even make a quick thousand dollars.

If you are stuck in a rut when it comes to creating more wealth and prosperity in your life – you must commit yourself to LEARNING more about money, sales and profits.

The strategy for building wealth is quite simple. First you have to learn to make a hundred bucks. When you are making hundreds, then you can make thousands. When you step up to making thousands you are then able to make hundreds of thousands. When you are making hundreds of thousands of dollars you are then ready to become a Millionaire and create and make Millions. From there – if you keep your integrity and stay grounded, the sky is the limit!

To EARN more you must LEARN more.

I’m Coach Cameron and welcome to the Master Coaching Programs for Small Business. I will share with you about how you can stretch your business even more than what you are currently do. This is particularly resourceful if you are a service professional and products are not in place in your business.
A service professional might be a dentist, doctor, personal trainer, consultant, or anyone that services something and does not have tangible products. I want you to think about the list of things as I read them out and contemplate whether you could employ that into your business? If you were a dentist, how would you put forth some ideas of these programs to your clients? How would you provide these products to your clients to value-add or even sell them on your websites or in stores?
If you are a personal trainer, how would you use some of these products to add value to your current clients or self for a profit? A lot of these products created once will take some time for you to sit down and develop, but you can keep making money out of them or keep adding value to your current clients, and they’ll be grateful for it.
Think about some e-Books that you could create. It’s a cheap way of getting some information out there. It makes you an expert and lets others see your quality of work before they commit to anything. You can also give free e-Books away on your website to introduce prospects about your services.
Next, you can do some presentations. It is not a product but you might run one presentation every quarter or once every month if you can. It can be on anything in your specific field. You can encourage people in the presentation or you can just offer it as part of the phase for coming to your business.
Next, think about some coaching programs and what could you come up with that would value-add to your clients. Think of the information products that will add value or can be sold to your clients. Would you make an audio program or a video program that would educate your clients? You can give every new client an audio program or a video program to push them in the right direction and they could get everything they need to know upfront, and use your business for empowerment in such a way that they already know all the steps they need to take to be successful or to get the best out of your product or service. Some emails or auto responders can be used to capture everyone’s email and don’t just sell stuff in the emails. People get so much of junk mail. Hence, you need to give them an email of good quality information that’s going to help them with the service you offered them.
If you’re a dentist, you’re not sending them out emails to remind them to come in again or get another checkup or sell them again, but you will email them information on general health, healthy eating, taking care of the teeth, what to do as you get older, and how to keep your teeth white and shiny. There are a lot of different informative things that you can offer to people regularly.
Webinars are also helpful. You can think of how you can get people interested to click on or look at you doing some webinars, or even if it’s just an audio webinar highlighting your products and services and positions you as an expert in your field.
I hope that has been useful for you. There are audio programs, videos, e-books, books, and other things that you can unpack as extra stuff in your business to add value to your current clientele or sell on your website.

Hi Everyone – Coach Cameron Roberts here… I recently received this information during March 2012  from a friend via email. Don’t know whether its the usual email messages that get thrown around –  but it does make some sense and seem to highlight what’s happening in the Australian Economy and Political Landscape at the moment –  Have a read and leave me a comment below and let me know your thoughts…. even more reason to make sure you attend one of my events at http://www.leapingthroughlife.com.au/index.php/ignite orhttp://www.leapingthroughlife.com.au/index.php/recharge orhttp://www.leapingthroughlife.com.au/index.php/retreatQuoted by: Ross Greenwood of Money News..Right now the Federal Government is at pains to tell everyone – including us the mug-punters and the International Monetary Fund, that it will not exceed its own, self-imposed, borrowing limits.How much?    $200 billion.   And here’s a worry.If you work in a bank’s money market operation; or if you are a politician; the millions turn into billions and it rolls off the tip of the tongue a bit too easily. but every dollar that is borrowed, some time, has to be repaid. By you, by me and by the rest of the country.Just after 5 o’clock tonight I did a bit of math for Jason Morrison ( Sydney radio presenter). But it’s so staggering its worth repeating now.First thought; Gillard, Swan, Wong, before that Rudd, all of the Labor Cabinet, call these temporary borrowings, a temporary deficit.Remember Those Words :  Temporary Deficit.The total Government debt will end up around $200 billion.So here’s a very basic calculation  .. I used a home loan calculator to work it out….. it’s that simple..$200 billion is $2 hundred thousand million.The current 10 year Government bond rate is 4.67 per cent. I worked the loan out over a period of 20 years. Now here’s where it gets scary …. really scary.The repayments on $200 billion, come to more than one and a quarter billion dollars – every month – for 20 years. It works out we – as taxpayers – will be repaying $15.4 billion in interest and principal every year .. $733 for every man woman and child – every year.The total interest bill over the 20 years is – get this – $108 billion.Remember, this is a Government, that just 4 years ago, had NO debt. NO debt.In fact it had enough money to create the Future Fund, to pay the future liabilities of public servants’ superannuation, and it had enough to stick $20 billion into the Building Australia Fund ……A note was sent to me which explains that the six leading members of the Government, from Ms Gillard down, have a collective work experience of 181 years, but only 13 in the private sector.If you take out of those 13 years the number that were spent as trade union lawyers, 11, only two years were spent in the private sector.So out of those 181 years:- no years spent running their own business- no years spent starting their own business- no years spent as a director of a family business or a company- no years as a director of a public company- no years in a senior position in a public company- no years in a senior position in a private company- no years working in corporate finance- no years in corporate or business restructuring- no years working in or with a bank- no years of experience in the capital markets- no years in a stock-broking firm- no years in negotiating debt facilities with banks- no years running a small business- no years at the World Bank or IMF or OECD- no years in Treasury or Finance.But these people have plunged Australia into unprecedented debt.Well, in a way you can’t blame them.It’s clear the electorate did not do their homework, because the Government is there by right.Ah, but they are Labor and people vote for them because Labor is good for the working family – right???If you have read this you may like to pass it on to your friends to help educate a little as you, them and I, will be repaying the aboveQuoted by: Ross Greenwood of Money News..Right now the Federal Government is at pains to tell everyone – including us the mug-punters and the International Monetary Fund, that it will not exceed its own, self-imposed, borrowing limits.How much?    $200 billion.   And here’s a worry.

Another 36% thought the print advertising they took out performed below their expectations and only gave 5 or less leads while 27% thought it was an average return on their investment dollar.

Interesting enough – no one who voted experienced excellent returns or had 20 leads or more form their advertisement.

Something to consider the next time the local paper rings you up about a special feature for your business or how great newspaper or magazine advertising is for your small business!

Let’s leave the branding to the big end of town and those multi-national companies that work on brand awareness… when it comes to creating real leads, small business owners need to be smarter!

Imagine for a moment the costs involved if you suffered a major medical trauma or if you were unable to work for an extended period of time due to injury or illness.  There are medical costs for a start, not to mention the loss of your income and the day to day living expenses don’t go away because you can’t work!  If you add to this the need to make lifestyle changes such as home modifications, rehabilitation programs and paying off any existing debt, the costs soon mount up.

Helping prepare for the unexpected

“Relieving stress and creating a better lifestyle if you suffer a major illness or are injured costs money – lots of money if you want to do it right”, says financial adviser Wayne Lennan from advisory group Financial Wisdom.  “People generally want to remain self sufficient when it comes to their health and finances, but saving and investing alone may not be enough to cover the costs caused by illness or injury”.

The best solution to avoid financial hardship during these times is to insure your income and combine it with a trauma insurance policy.

While income protection will replace up to 75% of your income while you are unable to work, a trauma insurance policy will pay out a lump sum on a specified medical event, such as heart attack, cancer or stroke.  “Trauma insurance provides cash to spend anyway you want to help you recover or change your lifestyle”, says Wayne “Many of our clients use it as a way to give up work altogether, setting up a debt free and worry free lifestyle”.

As with any insurance Wayne advises that it is a case of buyer beware.  There are many products on the market that offer a wide variety of claims options in terms of medical conditions that are covered.

“You need to be careful and preferably get advice to ensure you are getting the best protection and the right amount of cover to suit your personal circumstances”.

Success Begins in Your Mind

Hi, Coach Cameron here… You know it can be challenging to be Leaping Through Life when markets are crashing, small business is struggling and countries owe billions and trillions of dollars worth of debt to one another – it would be easy to feel like all is lost and hopeless in the world of small business or solo businesses.

The truth is you can be leaping through life, you can develop that business idea you have been considering for a while, you can have a flourishing small business, you can get your family out of debt, you can pay off your mortgage and if you are in business you can put your prices up… you just have to have the right mindset.

You see in any economic environment, the success or failure of the individuals within that environment is dependent only on one thing – what they BELIEVE about themselves and their ability.  Imagine if an Olympic Gold Medalists was told by his or her Coach “hey listen, hate to break bad news to you, but that record you’re chasing has never been broken, it’s never been done before – so why don’t you just be happy with what you already have and quit while you are ahead” Imagine if Robert Bannister on a windy day in May 1954, listened to all those around him that said you’ll never break the 4.00 minute mile, just play it safe, it’s too windy, you’re not fully rested and you’re not ready.  Robert Bannister had the right mindset.

As odd as that sounds – that is exactly what people do when there is an economic crisis – they retreat, they back down, they complain, they get scared off, and they panic. When billions and trillions of dollars are lost on Wall Street in a single day, somewhere, someone made a killing on share prices going down! Yes that’s right, some people trade shares and they take out “put and call” options. When the markets crash, they make massive amounts of money as their option is bought as markets crash and slide. They have the right mindset.

So what’s your thinking like lately? Do you catch yourself out being negative? Do you find your state of mind is determined by all the bad news and negative headlines?

You can be Leaping Through Life and you can achieve SUCCESS in any area of your life, at any time. Stop waiting for the perfect day, the perfect season, or the perfect opportunity. Stop making excuses and blaming everyone and everything else. Go out into your world and make your own luck, create your own opportunities, and enjoy your own happiness.

Success begins with a thought, and thoughts begin in your mind!

You know, what I believe a lot of people should look for in business is actually a good coach who can help them increase revenue, lower costs, improve systems, improve their lead generations and help them with both online and offline marketing.

Personally, if I was looking for a business coach, or someone to help me do those things, I wouldn’t want just someone who has paid a couple of thousand dollars to do a course on maybe say, business marketing or NLP.  Sure, all that sort of stuff is really good but do they actually walk the talk?  Have they got a runs on the board and have they run their own successful business models already?  And if the answer is no, well then you’re just working with someone that’s done the training and might not really understand the day-to-day running of a small to medium business.

So, what I help people do as a business coach is I help managers and business owners identify some issues in their business because I get it.  I know what it’s like to be in business.  So I sit down with people and I help them identify some of the issues that are in their business currently.

From those issues, we identify or we highlight the top issues and we work with those ones first.  From there, we look at the problems of those top issues, what are some of the challenges they face, what are some of the things they have to go through on a daily basis to get stuff right.  Once we’ve identified the issues, we go through some of the problems then we look at the outcome, what’s the final result that the business owner wants from the issue?  Is it to raise capital?  Is it to improve revenue?  Is it to create more leads?

Once people know what the outcome is, they can be coached or helped to achieve their goals a lot faster.  If you start off coaching someone or when I start off working with someone both on and off a sporting field and on and off the business arena, it’s really hard to work with people that don’t know where they’re going.  And that’s why that process is really important.

So I encourage you now.  Take five minutes to identify some of the issues in your business you’re currently facing.  Look at some of the problems or challenges that are ongoing as part of those issues.  And then really get to the nuts and bolts and identify what is the end result that you would like.  What should it look like if you could wave a magic wand over your business?  What would the end result look like for you that you’d be truly satisfied with and happy with that outcome?  Once you can identify those three steps, you’re on your way to improving your profitability, your productivity and your overall health of your business.

Thanks for clicking through to our Corporate Coaching and Business Owner Support Programs.  Today, I want to talk about business primarily.

I recently learned of a really good professional speaker one of the ways of which you can approach conflict in the marketplace.  So when a client has a disagreement with you and they come on really heavily and offer a verbal challenge to you, personally, what I used to do is get really defensive and try and counteract that or solve that problem for them whilst alleviating that frustration.

But this professional speaker actually gave us the tip of focusing internally on your own breathing and on your own state of mind and your own health.  And what I find that does is it keeps my mind clear up so I can listen to the person intently and really focus on what it is they are trying to vent out.

What you find is that if you actually let the person who has got that build up frustration or the build up anger or the problem, they actually just get to vent it all out.  And once they calm down, then you can ask them, “Well, what can I do to help you?  What are some of the solutions do you like me to provide or the business to provide?”

Now, you might not be able to provide them all on the spot, and often, it’s a good opportunity for you to put some margins in place.  And you might say things like, “What sort of solutions would you like me to provide for you to fix that problem?”  And when I offer you the solutions, then you can create the margin for yourself by saying, “Well look, that’s not a process I can fix immediately right now.  But how about if you leave it with me for 24 hours or 48 hours, and I’ll touch base with you on the best options I can come up for you.”  And what you’re doing there is creating some time where they can go away and relax and calm down, and it takes the heat out of the situation if you like.

So there are two tips that you can use when confronted with conflict in the marketplace.  It’s really helpful if you’re working with the public on a regular basis.

Today, I quickly want to share with you about the importance of connections.  Now, I’d like to really share about the importance and the power of social connections.  In life, we face a lot of stress and a lot of busyness, and I think it’s really important that we take time out to hang with people who we just do life with.  We need to stretch ourselves and invite people over and go to people’s places we might not already know, just to establish some new connections and some new social networks.

I mean, think about your business.  You could be at a party and you could actually network with someone you’ve never met before that might have a thousand or $100,000 contract ready for you to take up if you’re a small business contractor or a small business owner.

Business aside, the importance of social networking and connecting with friends and connecting with mates is really important.  It’s not about just going out and wrecking yourself and wrecking the town but actually have a really great time together, having some great laughs and sharing some great stories so everyone feels good.  And you know what?  That’s one of the best ways to deal with stress, is to just get a handful of people together who enjoy doing life together, have some funny jokes and some good laughs together and think about some of the great things that you’ve done in your lifetime.

Often, when you look back at your life, you’re not going to remember the busy-ness of your work or the things you’ve done in the office, but you remember those special moments.  You remember those times together with family and friends.  You remember those funny times you had with some good mates.

So I want to encourage you as this week kicks on for you, or if it’s the end of your working week, I want to encourage you to create some special moments for yourself.  Think about how you can get together and get connected with some people who you know and enjoy and make sure you have some laughs because the laughs will just free you of your stress and they’ll just free you of your busyness.  You’ll forget all about everything that’s happened at work for that week and you’ll just be able to enjoy yourself.  And for next week, you can go on and push forward and be better than what you were this week at your workplace.

Well I hope that’s helpful.  If you want more information about our coaching services, you can always check me up online at leapingthroughlife.com.au and if you leave me your name and your email address in our Contact Us form.

ps: leave me a comment, let me know how I’m doing!

There are heaps of ways to do your cash on so called “advertising”. The traditional way business owners and managers waste their advertising dollars is they only put out one particular offer on the table or out in the marketplace at any one time.

The downside of only using one type of advertising mechanism without measuring anything is that it becomes a guessing game.

I was recently with a coaching client who owns his own fitness business and he was telling me how he didn’t even get one lead on an ad that he put out in the marketplace. Now I asked him how he tested and measured the ad over time – and guess what – he looked at me like stunned mullet!

This is exactly what most business owners do and create one ad at a time in the market place and then hold their breath and hope for the best! They then wait by the phone for someone to call them – this is not marketing this is called throwing your money away down the toilet!

The only way and the best way to run an advertising campaign is to test and measure at least three different ads against one another in slightly different places over the same medium. This is especially true if you use some form of online media for your advertising like social network sites.

I trust that has been helpful and I know you’ll enjoy our regular coaching programs as well, where you can be coached each month for the cost of a cup of coffee per week! For more details click here.

As part of our Leaping Through Life and Small Business Master Coaching Programs today, I want to share with you some coaching, business and life strategies around goal setting and specifically, I want to talk to you about why people fail when they set up their goals in the first place.

You know, as a coach of over 20 years experience, I find that a lot of people are really motivated to change something around New Year or in business it’s around end of financial year.  But as the year gets on and their lives get busy, they often pull back a little bit or relax a little bit on their goals and the things they set themselves up for in business or life initially.

Why doesn't everyone achieve their dreams and goals

So what makes someone succeed while other people who also set the goals fail and fall back?  Well, what I find in life is that people who succeed have a definite plan and a definite purpose.

They know what they want and they know what they want to get out of their lives, and that’s really important.  But you know what really makes people succeed and gets them Leaping Through Life when they set their goals?

It is that they first and foremost change their rules and their beliefs about the situation that they’re setting their goals for!

Here’s what I mean.  I’ll give you an example.  About six months ago, I was working with a team of managers with a Leaping Through Life corporate coaching program from the Commonwealth Bank in the Hunter Region.  Now, one of the managers came up to me about six months after the course that we ran for them and she was saying how great it was that she’s still motivated, she’s still achieving her goals that we set as part of the corporate program and she was really excited.

As a coach, I was really happy for her that she was still achieving those goals and objectives that we had set six months prior in the workshops that we did together.

So what happened was we just didn’t sit down and do a “goal-setting session” because anyone can do that.  You can just sit down, work out on paper what you want to achieve, and then go forward and try to achieve it.

To be Leaping Through Life and achieve real success we first established some values and beliefs, and we looked at their limiting beliefs.

What was holding them back?  What do they believe about a certain situation, about their health, about their finance, about their personality that motivate in holding them back?  And once we looked at their beliefs that they had about a situation, then and only then do we set up their goals.

Now this is where a lot of people go wrong.  They set themselves a goal of say, getting fit in the New Year but they don’t change their beliefs about what fitness means to them.  Or they set themselves a goal of going on a diet in the New Year to lose weight but they don’t change their beliefs about food and what food means to them.

So if you want to change anything in your life, it’s a nor brainer that you need to set some goals -but what you’ve got to do first and foremost is change some of the limiting beliefs that you have about that situation you are setting your goals for and in.

Keep Leaping Through Life – Coach Cameron Roberts

Now, let’s just keep things  simple, when it comes to setting goals and let’s talk about health and fitness.

If someone was going on a diet because they wanted to lose weight, sure, they will lose some weight if they set a goal to lose weight and go on a diet.  But guess what happens almost all the time when someone stops the diet.  That’s right.  They put the weight back on.  And in most cases, they put the weight on more so.

So they might take off ten kilos but often overtime, they’ll end up being 12 kilos heavier.  So what went wrong?  Well, they didn’t change what food meant to them.  Maybe it was an emotional support and so they starve themselves and they cut their calories back.  Sure, they lost some weight but they didn’t change what food meant to them.

Leaping Through Life by setting goals

Here’s what I mean.  My personal belief about food is that food’s a fuel source.  So when I look at food for performance, I’m looking at the best food possible that I can get in my body, in my self that drive me everyday and give me the energy I need to do the things I want to do in my life.  Yet someone else might use food as an emotional crutch.  So when they’re having a stressful day or they had a fight with a partner, they go to the pantry and they kind of get themselves sordid by eating more food and it’s more of a comfort thing.  It’s something that I can go to.  It’s almost like a friend they can go to and eat some chocolate, eat some ice cream.  And all treats are good but what I’m saying is that you need to change your beliefs about a certain thing before you set a goal in that area.

So using diet again, if you were going on a diet or you wanted to change the way you feel inside your body by using food, you need to change what food means to you.

You need to write down all the beliefs you currently have about food and you need to strike out all the disempowering ones, all the ones that are holding you back.  And then you need to come up with some new beliefs about food like…

• food gives me more energy.
• When I eat great food, I feel alive and healthy.
• When I eat food, I can do anything when I eat the right food, things like that.

So fitness is the same.  People set goals to get fit, join the gym and sure they do that for a little while, but then once it gets too tough, they pull back.  Once life gets too busy, they stop going.  They haven’t changed their belief about fitness. See, my personal belief about fitness is that if I keep myself in shape physically, I’ll be not only strong physically but I’ll be strong mentally and strong emotionally.  And I know that gives me the edge in my business and in my life because I’m physically fit and I’m mentally strong.

Other people might look at fitness as a negative.  They only join the gym because they want to lose weight, but they don’t really like the fitness.  They don’t really like the exercise.

So again, what I encourage people to do at www.coachcamerons.com is to make sure they change their beliefs.  Get into some sort of fitness activity or exercise program that you actually enjoy doing on a regular basis and then change what that means to you.

Find something you enjoy and write some empowering beliefs, stuff that makes you feel great about exercise… 

• “Fitness makes me feel great,”
• “I’m alive when I exercise,”
• “I love my new body and the way my muscles feel tight and toned”

Once you set up your beliefs and you must do this on paper by the way.  It’s not just something you think through in your head because if it’s just in your head, it’s an idea.  It’s not going to come to fruition, right?  You have to write it on paper to get it real so that your mind’s eye can see what you really want to achieve.

So here are the simple steps for setting and achieving your goals and be Leaping Through Life.

1. Write down what it is that you want to change.
2. Write down the empowering and dis-empowering or the positive and the negative beliefs you had about that topic/area that you want to change
3. Then move on and create the goals or the objectives in that area that you want to achieve.

So it’s a very simple three-step process, have fun with it, enjoy your life, and I’ll look forward to seeing or hearing from you soon.

You know, you’ve probably heard it before that the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over again but expecting a different result. You know, the same is true for many of us when it comes to our own health, vitality and well-being.

Often, we want to change something about ourselves, our body image, our physical appearance, or just our energy levels on a daily basis, but we keep doing the same things over and over again and expecting something else to change. You know, if you want to change the way you feel when you first get up in the morning, you have to change something in your lifestyle. It’s just not enough to wish upon a star about your health and fitness. You actually have to make a conscious decision and take the appropriate action and do something about it if you want to wake up in the mornings feeling alive and alert.

I started working with someone recently and they shared this story about how they were doing the same thing over and over again, time and time again in relation to their diet. And so, what would happen was they’d go on some diet program that’s sold on TV or over-the-counter and they’d go on the program and they would lose massive amounts of weight. Obviously, with all these types of diet programs, you can’t do them long-term. It’s very, very hard and difficult to maintain. Every time they stop the diet program, they would put on weight and then some more to what they first started. And so, they’ve had that yo-yo effect of going on the diet, taking the shakes and the bars, losing the weight massively fast, but then being so hungry after four or six weeks or eight weeks or three months that within weeks, they would put all the weight back on again after they stop the shakes and the bars and the special diet program.

Now, they repeated this for the last eight to ten years of their life. And what do you think it did to their body? Well, obviously their body is not in a shape that they would like it right now. And that got me thinking, I wonder how many of us do the same thing on a daily basis, not only with our health and our fitness, but also with our business or our families and our relationships? How many of us keep doing the same approach or keep applying the same approach over and over again and yet we expect a different result?

You know, if there’s something to change in your life, you must change. You must change the way that you approach it. You must change the type of action that you take. If you’ve tried something before in the past and it hasn’t worked for you long-term, there’s a good chance that same action is not going to work next time either, long-term.

So to finish up, I’ll give you this one little tip. If you need something to change, avoid doing the same thing that you’ve done in the past. Seek a coach for instance, get some guidance, find an expert in the area that you want to accelerate in and let them show you how to get proven, long-term results without doing the same things and the same mistakes that you’ve always made.
