Coaching
1 on 1 Coaching with Nick Smith
I only change the lives of 5 to 10 individuals through one on one coaching per year.
I cannot begin to thank you enough for your support throughout the years. As you know, I have been a performance coach for nearly 3 years. If you were to ask me what a coach does, I would be as confused as you are. How do you define what a coach does? I don’t know, so I am going to skip that and share with you what I do for MY clients. Perhaps your story is similar to theirs, perhaps it is not. Either way, you will have a clearer understanding of what I do as a coach, and if you would like to experience this for yourself I am inviting you to schedule a session with me at no cost to you, and if you feel it would be beneficial for you and I to work together, we can discuss that to. Just know this; I will never pressure you to work with me. That choice is yours, but I would recommend you at least experience my coaching.
I work with individuals to break through the negative thoughts and behaviors that keep them from succeeding. To clarify how I do this I am going to share a few case studies with you.
“There are many business coaches that claim to perform miracles and I have tried some. I didn’t see results until I hired Nick Smith. He helped me not only get clear on what I wanted short term but long term. He’s helped me produce lasting skills and long term results. He has helped me dismiss un-important things that interfere with the greater things in my life and focus on doing the basics like keeping things simple. He’s helped me to produce better leaders in my business, to be more duplicable and to get dream clients in a short time. He has also helped me create more balance with my family life and have more spontaneous fun.”
When I started with this client, she was already successful in her business. She ran an enormous team in a network marketing company, was a leader in that organization, and was doing quite well financially, but she had no time. She wanted to create time to be with her family; moments where time stops and life matters. She had established routines over the years that now controlled her every move. She was off to one meeting after another, training one team member after another, and wearing herself thin. In our conversations, we realized a very damaging thought to her time freedom; if she didn’t handle things, the whole system would fall apart. Though this thought was convincing, it was not true. We worked together to establish new behaviors and thoughts that would allow her company to grow, share responsibilities with others, and have the time freedom she so desperately wanted. Our focus was on creating time not reacting to it. Within one year, she signed a large contract with a local agency, developed stronger team leadership, and spent more time with her daughters. It wasn’t easy, but with my assistance, she stayed the course and changed her life.
And this from another client…
“Today I am sitting on the porch relaxing after my reduced work schedule ( I accomplish more in less time) and realized that that I am a lot happier now, and Nick has helped me achieve this. There is a tremendous difference in the quality of my life since working with Nick. From our very first coaching session Nick has set me free from many limitations and stresses in my projects and life. I now work less and accomplish much more. The best part is that I experience considerably more fun, peace, joy and balance in my projects and in my life. I am just happier.”
Creatives like authors, musicians and artists often get stuck when coming up with new content. They have grand visions and tremendous ideas, but many times cannot transfer those to paper, clay or canvas. This client had a similar experience. His music is phenomenal, but he had a prevalent thought and behavior that kept him out of flow. Together we discovered these thoughts and behaviors. We laid them out on the table and dissected them. They were filled with hot air, there was no substance to them, but they kept him from moving forward. This client thought that if he were not BUSY, he would not be successful. He felt as though he needed to push through during those blocks. Together we created a strategy for releasing those blocks. During his day, he would schedule mini breaks. He would go for walks, listen to music, read, or do whatever took his mind completely off the project. What he noticed while doing this is the thoughts and ideas would begin to flow. He was able to do more in less time simply by shifting his thoughts and behaviors.
See if this resonates with you…
“One life changing gem that Nick shared with me was not to promise to change, but to change in order to keep my promise. I no longer spend time trying to convince others to believe in me. I believe in myself, do it, and let my actions do the convincing. This one philosophy has changed my life. This is just one of many “light bulb moments” I’ve had working with Nick. A true friend and an inspiration!”
This client is a master at his skill. He had been featured on TV shows; won multiple awards and had a nice following. He felt he was capable of more and would find himself making grand claims without following through. He would tell those he cared about what he was going to do, and then do nothing. In our conversations, we looked at those thoughts and created new behaviors to challenge them. I helped him understand that he would probably screw them up, but to do them anyway until he got good at them. He used these principles to get into action. He started keeping his word and changing his behaviors. We worked together long enough for him to do it more naturally. His new actions opened doors he could not have imagined before our time together. He is quickly becoming a national celebrity.
Pay particular attention to this client’s story…
“When I started with Nick, I really appreciated the way he jumped off the same platform I was on. I was not in the best position in life, hence why I wanted to work with him, but I felt like he really heard me and understood what I needed. Since then, I’ve been making great progress with my new business concept and it’s all becoming a reality. Because he is so straight forward and understands my needs, I feel I’ve had many “Ah hah” moments and the path of success is really opening up for me. I would recommend him all day. Thank you Nick!!!”
I really enjoyed working with this client. He had an idea that he had been dreaming about for years. This idea was pretty revolutionary and would change the lives of a lot of people…if it were ever launched. He was stuck in thoughts about his own ability to perform. He wondered if he could do it, and his behaviors reflected that lack of confidence. He and I worked diligently to shift his thought and his actions. Within just a few short months he was able to hire the engineers to produce a prototype of his project. Shortly, he will have that project in hand. It was never a case of his abilities; it was a case of skewed thoughts and inaction. By shifting these areas, he was able to create the outcomes he did.
Here is one more….
“I have struggled with how to handle the seasonality of my business. The “down time” it creates and the loss of momentum has always frustrated me. He taught me how to treat this time much like a sports team treats its off season. Prepare, Strategize, Re-tool and get ready for the next season. This approach has taken the frustration away and has helped me maintain excitement toward doing better when “game time” hits. Thank you for your wisdom and for teaching me how to make the most out of my very fortunate “off season!” Trust me; he can do the same for you!”
Routines are powerful and once we are in them, it becomes difficult to break out. The best way out is through planning and new action. I worked with this client to recognize the routines he had. The first step to creating change is awareness. Without it, we stay where we have always been. This client runs a very successful roofing company and each year his business would slow down for the winter. We looked at that behavior and the outcome it created. Each spring, he would start anew at the same pace as his competition. They would all start up around the same time each year. We determined that he would use that downtime to plan for the coming spring. It became his training season. During that time he would come up with the strategies and marketing that would launch him ahead of the competition during the coming year. It worked like a charm. He had the strongest first quarter he has ever had and his business is still growing strong. This wasn’t a case of inability or lack of skill. He was already successful, but not at the level he would have liked. By changing his perspective and his behaviors, his business jumped to another level.
I have hundreds of stories similar to these from people all over the world. Hundreds of people just like you who are smart, capable, inventive, and ready for change; people who have been stuck in their thoughts and routines. People who would like to change, but just couldn’t seem to break their habits. From house wives to CEO’s, I have helped each change their lives. Through conversations with me, we created awareness around the thoughts that keep them where they are, developed a shift in perspective and created new behaviors that would eventually take them to where they wanted to be. I help people change the thoughts and behaviors that keep them stuck.
Are you frustrated with your current performance? Do you KNOW you are capable of more, but just can’t seem to break through? Are you struggling to get back on your feet and get ahead? Do you have an idea, book, or vision you have sat on for years?
The point to these questions is I CAN ASSIST YOU! However, I cannot do that if you don’t allow me. I have a track record that proves I can help you, but I cannot compel you to take action, that is your job.
If you would like to have a conversation with me that could potentially change your life forever, all you have to do is schedule it. I will waive my fee so you can experience it without any hesitation on your part. If you think it is something you would like to continue, we can discuss that if you bring it up. Otherwise, I am only there to coach you.
What will you do with the thoughts I provoked in this message? What action will you take?
If you want to see your default future, look around you at all that you have. Now look at the thoughts and behaviors you currently have. If you continue to think and act the way you are, what you see is what will be.
Your problem is not your lack of knowledge, your ability to plan, your brilliant ideas, or your desire. I have no doubts you are strong in each of these areas. Your problem is in your behaviors and actions.
