Bazillionaire Robert Herjavec: ‘Someday’ isn’t a real day. Life Coach

The best path for full-time, optimal lifestyle working a part-time schedule? There are two different paths to earn a great living online and to live your life to the fullest. I’ll give you my recommendation in the CHEF vs. COOK metaphor.

The first path is for you to be THE CHEF.

Dr Warren with you…

Try this Entrepreneur Success Skills exercise to see if your business is in trouble. Many ruined entrepreneurs did not develop the skill to ask for what they need. The New Rich have learned to ask for what they need to experience their optimal lifestyles, as Asking For What You Need is Entrepreneurial Success Skill* #5.

At the end of this blog you will discover a great exercise to help you build your entrepreneurial skills to learn to ask for what you need. Saying you will start your small/side business ‘someday’ when you have everything you need is the problem.

Robert Herjavec, the bazillionaire star on Shark Tank says, “‘Someday’ isn’t a real day like Monday or Tuesday; it’s just another word for ‘never’.” Saying, “I will start my side business ‘someday’,” is just another way to avoid ASKING for what you need.

The CHEF Path: A chef is willing

To get dirty hands
To experiment with ingredients
To know EVERYTHING inside & outside the kitchen
To come up with new recipes, menus, etc. that work
To fail, fail, and fail, until something “tasty” emerges
To rely on her/himself as final decision maker

Then you have THE COOK Path….

A cook follows someone else’s recipe and learns to ask for what she/he needs. As a cook you take what has already been created and proven to work, and simply use THAT. You’ve probably got a few cookbooks in your kitchen, right?

Ever watch cooking videos on YouTube? It’s easier than starting from scratch, isn’t it?

Now, I’m not saying there’s any right or wrong path to go here, but in my experience? When it comes to making a GREAT lifestyle, PART-TIME? You need to be a cook, FIRST, and as you continue you can learn to ask for what you need.

Being a chef takes loads of effort, grit, and time. You’ll have to go through a lot of flour and milk before you create something that works.

So I recommend being the cook in this case. You can just follow a proven recipe as you learn to ask for what you need. With your first business “recipe” set-up?

Then you can become a CHEF in your own life NEXT. With all the lifestyle freedom and income following a “recipe” brings you, you’ll be able to experiment and discover with new and different ingredients as the chef of your own life…

…Giving you the best of both worlds. Living each day exactly as you want to be living. What type of lifestyle will you be cooking up for you and your family?

Look below, at the end of this blog, to see your first exercise to build your entrepreneurial skill: learning to ask for what you need.

In your corner.

All the best,

Entrepreneur Success-Skill #5: Questions and actions

Exercise #1) Looking at your small/side business, what do you say, how do you feel, day-to-day, regarding your own needs? Note the ideas that relate to you; add more you need.

I feel all by myself
No one considers my needs
As a small/side business owner, I never really get my needs met
I put my needs behind my clients’ needs

Engagement background before eWorkbooks

As a trainer and university lecturer in the USA, I had great success in my coaching, training, and classrooms by engaging my learners in ways I had learned from my Dale Carnegie Instructor Training. (optimal engagement)

After earning my Doctoral Degree researching engaging instruction in adult education and training and development, I started a training business in Hong Kong.

But something was wrong, I was struggling in this new culture (I’m a cattle rancher’s son from Colorado, USA) to find ways to inspire and motivate my coachees and students in Hong Kong.

With my coachees and in the classroom, I preferred having clients engage in learning activities instead of just talking. This is especially effective to keep clients engaged between coaching calls.

I struggled through trying several paper worksheets and workbooks to guide students, but I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. (junk engagement)

When the smart phone with the ability to search the internet came along, I could see my clients were curating (i.e. searching, finding, collecting, commenting, changing, remixing, and sharing.)

I thought, “Why not do that for learning?”, so I started asking them to answer questions, interact with information and colleagues, and go find examples of the learning content using their mobile devices.

eWorkbook development and success

I began searching for possibilities and I struggled testing several apps, until we created best practices using eWorkbooks, and after testing them, began to use eWorkbooks as my clients always had their devices with them.

Then we used eWorkbooks (Google Forms with the training slides as well as interactive questions , curating links and tasks, example images and videos, etc.) This became powerful for my coaching clients as they were able to share ideas and get the benefits of social learning even though they were not in the training course or classroom.

My clients [Engaging Screenagers] completed eWorkbooks using their mobile devices as they were learning interactively while, at the same time, they were developing habits of learning with their devices (optimal engagement) instead of killing time with them. (junk engagement)

Students used eWorkbooks to while I lead the discussion and guided them, and after they submitted their answers, they would get their responses sent to their inbox so they could review their learning Moments of Growth. (optimal engagement)

Because the students’ responses from eWorkbooks go right into a spreadsheet in real-time, as the teacher I can monitor what students are doing to give them guidance in the moment, as well as track their learning develop over time.

Since those early days, I’ve had great luck supporting my coaching clients and entrepreneur friends use Google forms for 360° reviews for evaluations as well as use eBrochures and eMenus to test new ideas and actively engage and actively interact with customers.
