Default My new LIFE-BUSINESS COACHING gig.

Well, for the past 33 years, I've been telling people what they should be doing...or in other words, being a life OR business coach.

You can dig through our 20 years here, and see GOAL setting and GOAL achieving have been a constant and we've offered up many tools and resources for helping you achieve your goals.

NOW, I'm going to dedicate a few hours a week, to LIFE COACHING.

My MONTHLY fee ranges from 200 to 1000 a month. Depends on your goals, motivation and what you want.

[email protected] has been my email for years, use it if you want some more information on my coaching services.

GordonJ Alexander

PS. I use many tools of the GJA Square One Workshops to help you set and reach your goals.

PPS I even have tools to help you choose which goals you want, and get you out of any life fog you may be wandering through at this time.

Default Nothing new, here is the process.

I did this 15 to 20 years AGO, so it isn't something I dreamed up this morning.

You start with a one page, few paragraphs, telling me what you think you want to do, and why.

Then we chat. Then you write out a four page, White Paper, on what you want to do, which includes some time frames.

The whole thing is about ACCOUNTABILITY. You can't go to the gym to work out with your friend, so your at home workout isn't what it used to be.

Like most of us, the BLAHS, the blues, the fog of uncertainty has clouded your days.

The gym is a metaphor, could be for your business you wanted to start or did, then Covid -19 knocked you off the path.

My coaching will get you back on that path and accelerate your growth.

After a one page idea, and a four page WHITE paper, then we work on an 8 to 10 page PLAN OF ACTION.

In the past, people overestimated how much time they really had but today, you may have MORE than enough time to do, but you are caught in the trap of what and how to do it.

This is where I can help.

You will use WHITE boards, and have a step by step plan of action, and then we talk to make sure you are DOING it.

You will set short term, 3 month goals, and a 7 month goal, then a 13 month goal, with either monetary or personal goals in it.

Creating White Boards will be a big part of it, when I forced people to write things down, it worked so much better (for them) than if we didn't have a tool we both could see.

I could be wrong, but I see many people are stuck, spinning their wheels, and getting nowhere today, when there is so much opportunity to create YOUR better future, even as the rest of world remains dazed and confused.

If not now, then when? When there is a vaccine? When the world explodes with the next virus, bird flu, pig flu, or when the aliens are over the city?

If you have any questions, you can ask here, or PM, or my preference, email [email protected]

Default Something to consider. Accreditation, still a path to mucho moolah.

Before I posted this, I visited several web sites, Facebook groups and did a deep dive into COACHING. And it felt like swimming in a shark tank.

Now, I wrote about ASSOCIATIONS over 22 years ago, yelling and telling anyone who would listen, if they want to get rich...start your own ASSOCIATION.

In one of my earlier works, Before You Buy Anything, I linked to several sites, one was the ASLA started and run by June Davidson. The American Seminar Leaders Association served as a prototype for what I thought (and still do) a good Association structure was.

Back when I was making $1,000.00 a day in the Resume writing business, I had thought about starting an association, but, alas, never got around to it...today, you can join one of a dozen such "Professional Resume Associations", and in my humble opinions, most of these are rackets...profitable ones for those who start them.

Today, ACCREDITATION is a big deal. There is a whole generation who thinks one needs a certificate from somewhere to overcome (apparently) IMPOSTER syndrome. Many golf pros, who went through some PGA program, and got to say they were PGA professionals...couldn't teach their way off of a wet green.

Some of the best coaches I ever had, in sports, in life and in business, didn't have diploma, certificate or membership in some accredited program.

So, when I went to see what the "current" state of the art of COACHING is today, July 2020, it wasn't much of a surprise to me to see thousands of coaches...

churned out with cookie cutter programs, all saying the same thing.

The gurus, have written books, and of course, they have their own cult followers.

One thing about me, if you are even considering me as a possible coach...I like THINKERS, people who can use their brains. It is one of my qualifiers.

See, it took me 25 years to get my GJASQ1 Square One Workshops perfected and the tools for goal setting and goal achievement in place. And the one very fundamental difference

the difference that few get

is, they are NOT a book to read, NOT a course to take, NOT a how to...but they become CUSTOMIZED for whomever uses them.

I hate cookie cutter programs. OH, sure, some have a good purpose, if you buy a McDonald's, you'll be thankful they have put that business into a follow the book and you will be successful thing.

That is what is good about a franchise. You want a cookie cutter, do this and get the same thing, time after time after time. YES.

But instructions on how YOU can live YOUR best life, reach YOUR peak performance, fulfill YOUR destiny, reach YOUR goals...

if you believe that you will find an off the rack solution, a one size fits all program to help you...

I AM NOT THE GUY FOR YOU.

Do a search, literally, you'll find THOUSANDs OF coaches to take your money and fit you into their system. Good luck and God bless.

I guess I could create a nice looking diploma, or a certificate of completion from the GJABIZ Institute of Autodidactic Polymaths Wannabees.

IF that would impress you, persuade you, guide you in your search, then you and I definitely won't be working together.

I am about results. I can't do them for you. I can't make you do what you need to do...but I can help, either by kicking your butt when needed or by giving you some direction based on my 60 years of doing business.

So, just a little bit, for you new people about my approach and attitude about things, and about coaching in general.

As for my coaching, it isn't ever about ME, it is all and always will be about you, fair enough?
