Hi this is Coach Trish with part 6 on how to improve your career,
It is your appearance! Now you can whine and complain all you want that we shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, yada, yada, yada. But truth is, we do. And it doesn't make us horrible people, it's just that when you meet somebody, you've got to base your first impression on something so, it's their appearance and 95% of that, is your clothes, simply because 95% of your body is covered in clothes. So just take care, when you're getting dressed and you're going to out and do business; look at yourself in the mirror. Just take a moment and ask yourself, objectively, ask yourself, would I want to do business with this person? If the answer's not a definite yes, go back and fix it. You don't have to make a big deal out of it, just ask yourself, would I do business with this person? Somebody decides within the first 5 seconds whether or not they want to do business with you and they cement that decision within the next 30 seconds. And from then on, everything you say or do will be interpreted to confirm their first impression. First impressions are so important. So take the effort to make a good one. Also remember, you attract that which you are!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
Today's life tip is part 5 of my 10 part series of how to improve your career courtesy of a Brian Tracy program I'm listening to. Number 5 is work ethic. Develop good work habits, good work ethic. Become the hardest working person you know. But don't just work hard, be effective. Being efficient is working hard, being efficient is doing things right but being effective is doing the right thing. Constantly ask yourself, "What is the best use of my time right now?" If you can do that and develop a good work ethic, you will become indispensable. You'll be indispensable at any job, indispensable in any group that you're a member of, you'll be indispensable. Another way to look at it is how much supervision do you need? Only the top 10% of people can work without supervision. If you can work as though everyone were watching you when nobody is, you will not require any supervision. People who require supervision, require someone to be paid to supervise them and that pay is going to come out of the money that they would be making. So if you can work independently, without supervision, you make all the pay. And few people can do that, it's the top 10%. But frankly if you're reading this or watching this video, you are either in the top 10% or you are on your way to the top 10% because the bottom 90 won't take the time to do this, they won't take the time to improve themselves. The majority of the people are watching TV right now. If you would like a 30 complimentary consultation, sign up on my contact me page and request it there. And always remember YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Hi, this is Coach Trish and today's life tip is the 2nd in a 10 part series from a Brian Tracy program that I'm listening to. 10 ways to improve your life, your career and improve your income. Way number 2 is skill. Skill is what you train at, the expertise you work at. Lots of people have talent, but someone who will actually work at honing their skill will always excel over someone with talent, no matter how much talent they have. And everybody wants something right, everybody wants to achieve their goals but not everybody is willing to put in the work to develop the skill to be in the top 10% of their industry. That's what you want to do, develop the skill, read the books, go to the courses, practice, hone your skill, till you're in the top 10% of your field. You will be paid like the top 10%, recognized like the top 10%. All the rewards are in that top 10% and you can get there, simply by honing your skill. Put in the effort, be one of the few who's willing to do the work. If you'd like a 30 minute complimentary consultation, go to my website and request it on the contact me page.

This is Coach Trish and today's life tip is going to be the first in a 10 part series from a Brian Tracy program that I'm listening to. 10 ways you can increase your income, improve your life, improve your career. First one is education. For every additional year of education you have, it means about $200,000 over your lifetime. Now this doesn't have to be just traditional education. Although that's what the studies were mostly done on, high school versus college, versus graduate school. An extra $200,000 for every additional year of education. But if you are continually educating yourself, your income can continually go up. It doesn't have to be, like I said, college or high school, it doesn't have to be traditional. It's seminars, books, tapes, making your car a moving university. Whenever I'm in my car I'm always listening to cds, listening to tapes, I'm listening to Les Brown, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Anthony Robbins is another one of my favorites. Constantly be educating yourself. The average person reads 1 or 2 books a year. You can easily read 2 books a month. At the end of a couple of years, you will be an expert in your field. So continuous education. For a complimentary consultation, go to my website and request it on the contact me page. And always remember, YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for today is, You want to change your life? Decide to! Along with being a big Les Brown fan I am a big Anthony Robbins fan. One of the things Anthony talks about is that you can change your life in a second. You can change your life in an instant, with a decision. That's the most powerful thing that we can do to change our lives, decide to. So think about the things that you've been putting off, changes you want to make, why haven't you done them? There may be lots of reasons but when it really comes down to it, you have not decided to change. So one of the things I'm deciding to do is I'm going to start posting these videos in the morning. I'm a bit of a procrastinator so I've been posting these videos at 11 o'clock at night. Cause I'm like, "I have to get one up today!" I may still shoot them at night, but I'm going to start posting videos every morning. So that's something I'm deciding to do. So that means I have to act in advance. I have to have a video done cause I am not going to get up in the morning at 6 o'clock in the morning to post a video by 8, that has to be done the day before. So what is it in your life that you've been wanting to do, meaning to do but you haven't done? Decide and get it done!

HI this is Coach Trish,
My life tip for you today is on getting your message across. Whether you're speaking to a group or whether you're one person or whether you're trying to convince your kids of something, there's 3 things you have to remember. These are from my mentor Les Brown. Who are you? What have you got? And why do I care? Now by who are you, I mean why are you qualified to speak about what you're speaking about? Did you have some experience that made you qualified, do you have some education that makes you qualified, why are you qualified? What have you got? Now, tell me what you've got. What is your message that you're trying to get across? And then, why do I care? How can I use it? How's it going to affect my life? How's it going to help me to make my life better? So there you go, when you're speaking to someone, let them know; why are you qualified to speak on it, what have you got and how can it help them to improve their life or get what they want. And that will help you get your message across. Courtesy of Les Brown!

Hi this is Coach Trish,
If you haven't found what you're looking for, don't stop trying. About six years ago I was in finance. I was doing financial planning, selling life insurance and it wasn't completely fulfilling. It wasn't what I was looking for so I was searching.  I found a place called CEO Space and I originally went there looking for clients, but I went there searching. It was quite expensive to go and I didn't have the money at the time. So I was going through a process that they teach you on how to raise the money. And I remember my husband asking me, "why are you doing this? Why are you going through all this work to go to this thing? You have been to things like this before. You've been to things like this here locally that don't cost so much money. You know what it's going to be like, why are you doing this? What difference is it going to make?" And I thought about it and I thought what's the alternative? Give up? Quit trying? If I don't go, nothing changes. I don't know what the difference is going to be. But if I don't go, I do know that there will be no difference. So I raised the money and I went and I met Les Brown and I got out of finance and I got into coaching and speaking ,which is absolutely my path, absolutely my passion, I love it. It changed my life. It made a difference. You never know when that next time is going to be the last time. When that next time is going to be it. Don't give up, don't quit, keep at it until you find what you're looking for. Because if you just keep at it until you find what you're looking for, you will find what you're looking for. Most people don't succeed simply because they give up.

Hi this is coach Trish,
Today in my mastermind we had a young guest. He was about 20 years old and he was in the middle of reading Think and Grow Rich for the first time. I started thinking about that book and I thought, isn't it amazing that a book written 70 years ago could be as timely today as it was when it was written? And the principles in that book are what started the whole self-development industry, basically. One of the big things in there is focus. Focus, focus, focus. You become what you think about, right? You become what you focus on. Napoleon Hill talks about writing down your major definite purpose and repeating it to yourself out loud daily. I'm going to go back and reread that book. Because it's so easy to lose focus. Are you on focus? Are you on point for your major definite purpose, your life's work, your life's goal? Or have you gotten sidetracked? It's so easy to get sidetracked. I've got 2 kids, I've got a husband, I've got 3 businesses. It's really easy to get sidetracked but I'm going to get back to my major definite purpose and write it out and start repeating it to myself every day. Time to get back on focus. And if you'd like a free copy of Think and Grow Rich, you can get it on my website. Just sign up for my newsletter. It's not even a newsletter, I mail like once every couple of weeks. Sign up for my mailing list you get a free copy of Think and Grow Rich.

Hi this is Coach Trish,
Oh my gosh, I've been shooting my videos during the day, well like 5 days ago I shot 2 videos outside and the lighting was so much better! And now I'm back to shooting them at night. I was sick for a couple of days, completely missed a couple of days and I'm looking at these videos and they look so dark! So that brings me to my life tip for today: Is there something that you've been doing, and you're doing it a particular way because it's convenient but maybe it isn't the best way to do that thing? For example, me shooting my videos at night. I shoot them at night because it's the quietest time in the house. Nobody's yelling, "Mom will you make me spaghetti? Mom fix the TV." But the lighting. . . . way better during the day, so I am going to have to find a time to shoot during the day. What might you be doing out of convenience a particular way, when it might be a higher quality, better result, if you took some time to do it a different way. Think about it.  And always remember, YOU ARE POWERFUL!

Hi, this is coach Trish,
The subject of today's life tip is masterminding. I just got home from my mastermind today, and it was spectacular! I have to tell you, there is nothing like the power of a bunch of minds coming together to work on the same thing. And it doesn't have to be an official mastermind. If you're working on a project or you have a friend or relative who's working on a project, form a mastermind, even if it's just for one time. And here's what you do; the person who's working on the project gives an overview, very short, 5 to 15 minutes on what they're trying to do, what they've done so far, what they're trying to accomplish. Then you quickly ask, "Are there any clarifying questions?" And then that person zips their lips, no talking. Then the other people have 30 minutes to give them ideas. So for 30 minutes, you just bounce ideas off each other, and if you want to have one person be the person that'll say who speaks when, that will make it so it's not complete chaos and that is helpful. But you just have everybody throw out ideas and you won't believe what happens. At first the ideas will seem relatively normal, run of the mill and then somebody will throw in something that's out of the box and that will spark an idea in somebody else's head that's out of the box and that will spark another idea. And pretty soon you've gone in a totally different direction and you have ideas and plans and possibilities that you never would have imagined. So mastermind. Any project you've got going on, grab a group of friends, it can even be 2 people, just as long as it's more than one. The more the better I'd say up to 10, but you can absolutely do it with just 2, and then you can participate.
