Imagine, How did Warren Buffett learn to keep it simple? Personal Coach

I had a free consultation the other day. The prospect started asking how much does it cost before we even discussed his problem and if I could support him with solutions.

In business we invest into learning, ventures, and resources. I know I’ve been afraid to invest  to build my business, as I’m sure many of you have been.

My big breakthrough came when I found that my investments helped me simplify my business and my life. I will share more on simplifying later.

For example, I knew nothing about digital marketing and kept trying to promote my coaching the old fashioned way.  Guess what? It wasn’t working well.

Then I invested in digital marketing training and resources. I struggled in classes where I was older than everyone in the class, including the trainer.

I spend money I didn’t need to spend to get marketing tools I didn’t need. But then, after a while I learned what I needed to spend and learned to apply only simple tools I needed.

Sure enough, the clicks started coming, my auto scheduler started getting consultations, and my client list started building. When I think back it was all learning, investing, acting, and getting feedback.

If I hadn’t followed 5 simple steps, I would be struggling with the old fashioned way. That way doesn’t’ work any more, believe me.

DEFINITION: Giggers – those who have started their own Gig to live the New Gig Economy Lifestyle.

As Warren Buffett says, do you focus on cost or value?

How do you rate? How do you channel your frustration into power?

With my personal coach and mentor clients, and in classes where I teach a How to Become a Life Coach Certification course, we channel frustration into power.

Giggers, channel your frustration into power. As The New Rich are effective Entrepreneurs, they have learned to channel frustration into power for experiencing optimal lifestyles.

Today we are aligning our Gigger Success Skill #7: Channel Frustration into Power with Gig Business Success Step-3: Automate and outsource.

The 5 Steps so you can build your Gig business to the next level and experience your optimal income.

Step-1: Use inexpensive digital marketing.	(Yes, for local small businesses, you can “set it and forget it” to get your BIG DATA too.)
Step-2: Know your CLAN and build them up.	(Get to KNOW THEM WELL.)
Step-3: Automate and outsource to streamline processes to reduce wasted activity and space.	(Think Disney or McDonald’s.)
Step-4: Scale your business globally.	(E.g. A local bakery can sell an online eBook with recipes and Ideas for Entertaining.)
Step-5: Enjoy your Gig business optimal freedom lifestyle.	(Your goal is a 4-Hour Work Week.)

The answer is simple, but not easy… The first rule of thumb if you feel there is too much on your plate in your side business?

It’s to follow the K.I.S.S. principle:

• Keep.
• It.
• Simple.
• Silly.

Now I know this is easier said than done. Life isn’t “simple” for most of us.

YET…

That’s why I recommend you automate your digital marketing of your side business. It can help keep it MORE simple.

And it can get customers and clients zinging your way in a rush. You open to getting a flood of business, while having less and less on your plate?

Well, here’s what I mean… Presence, is really just being in the moment.

If you’re eating dinner with your family, it’s NOT dinner with everyone buried in their cell phones, or with everyone staring up at the TV watching Netflix in a semi-zombie state. See, if they were PRESENT…

That’s 30 to 60 minutes of quality family time and conversation they could have had. The TIME was there. They just didn’t capitalize on it.

Yep, it’s hard. We’re tired. We just want to unwind after a hard day.

But one will make us much more happy and fulfilled in the long run, with just a bit more focus and intent? Making sense?

So, if we say you’re a “Present Gigger”. Then you’ll focus only on what counts. And, you’ll be in the moment doing what you need to, day after day.

If you’ve got 30 minutes a day to do this business, then you are intent on what needs to be done… …task by task…Until you get it done.

Yes, you’ll need to follow the required steps… Even with a simple plan like this one. But Gig business can be simple and lucrative, while you do it part-time.

Long as you can follow the 5 steps above. You’ll be shown one core task. And it won’t be too hard to do.

• You open to that?
• Have a great day!
• In your corner.

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. Warren Buffett

Channel Frustration into Power. Exercise #6:

As a Gigger in the global Gig economy, how can you simplify to channel frustrations into power to build your Gig business to the next level?

Look at these examples where Giggers say they channelled frustrations into power and found ways to overcome them to feel confident and build their Gig business to support their customer clans.

• I was frustrated not knowing my customers needs, so I’ve automated so I could feel my Gig was more simple
• I’ve found I was frustrated trying to automate, so I hired a mentor to help me see how to simplify
• I posted a webinar but was frustrated not hearing what worked and what didn’t, so learned to use analytics to simplify 

Write 3 frustrations you could simplify to turn into unstoppable power and create your flow systems to have time to feel fully engaged developing yourself in your Gig and for your customer clan.

1. –
2. –
3. –

Look at your list and attack 1 (only one at a time but do try a new one every month) idea to apply this week:

1. Write your your idea where you could channel frustration to power.
2. List steps you see to overcome (e.g. digital media) to see opportunities and values for your clan.
3. Give yourself a metric to measure progress. (e.g. I will set a webinar for my customer clan feedback and learn from them when they want.)
4. Reward yourself after you have completed your steps to channel frustrations into unstoppable power.

Debrief: The point here is to get over your own “NO, I can’t,” response and develop yourself so you can have your business success and your optimal lifestyle.

If you are looking at this exercise and saying, “this feels awkward,” that is good. The important part is you will get used to it, as your life, family, and business depend on it.

Price is what you pay. Value is what you get. Warren Buffett

NOTE: If you don’t learn to channel frustration into power, you may soon join the 80% of small businesses that fail within the first 5 years!

PS: Next time you will learn another step to your Gigger success as you channel frustration into power. If you would like more developing your Gig business to the next level and living your optimal lifestyle, email me at drwarren@cict.co.

Engagement background of Optimal Engagement Lifestyle

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.

All client info has been scrubbed of identifying information unless they have given me specific, written permission to quote them.
