			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you ready to stop spinning your wheels and accelerate growth? Do you feel like you’re the chief cook &amp; bottle washer?</p>
<p>Are you busier than ever but not getting the traction, results, and the revenue you need?</p>
<p>Are you ready to seize new opportunities, grow the business and create a winning business for today and tomorrow?</p>
<p>Business is not just sales, not just marketing, not just planning and strategy, not just managing employees and not just providing your product or service. It’s all the above. Learn how to create alignment with what you really want from your business with your goals, the right actions that support your goals and more importantly have the internal energy, confidence and positive outlook to make it happen.</p>
<p>The program includes a 30 minute 1:1 coaching session each month. During the course you’ll learn to focus on your strengths and eliminate your weaknesses and become highly effective.</p>
<p>The Business Accelerator Program is a 12 month program that focuses on the following key areas over the course of the program. Each course is approximately a 6 week interactive workshop and delivered in two phases.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Phase I Instruction:</strong> 4 hour interactive workshop</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Phase II Implementation:</strong> 4 weeks of weekly group coaching, and support during the Implementation &amp; Execution that maximizes retention and results.</p>
<p>It’s time to accelerate your business with the BlueRock Business Accelerator program specifically for entrepreneurs, small business owners, sales and business professionals.</p>
<p>A powerful and unique program designed by a professional business coach and entrepreneur to get you the results. Not getting the results you deserve from your hard work creates a vicious cycle that triggers lack of confidence, stress, burn out, lack of energy and overwhelm all which lead to lack of focus and spinning your wheels.  Once you start spinning your wheels it can be difficult to get out of the trap.</p>
<p>You are not alone!  Most businesses fail because they run out of money.  Focusing on the right activities generates results which lead to more sales and revenue.  Learn how to focus on the high pay off activities and increase your results.</p>
<p>If you continue to do what you’re doing you’ll continue to get the same results.  Do something about, take charge and make your business what you dreamed it would be.</p>
<p>It’s time to do something about it!</p>
<p>Attend the BlueRock Business Accelerator program which is a powerful blended learning workshop that combines coaching, training and independent study that provides you with instruction and coaching as you implement and execute what you’ve learned.</p>
<p>It’s this unique and powerful combination which delivers amazing results.</p>
<p>In this series of workshops you will discover where you are stuck, what’s preventing you from reaching your goals and how to leverage your strengths to create a breakthrough in your business and get results?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Here’s What You’ll Learn</span></p>
<p>• How to focus on what’s important and profit from what you do best</p>
<p>• How to develop a marketing action plan (on any budget) to get business now</p>
<p>• How to use powerful &amp; proven sales skills to increase your sales today</p>
<p>• How to really set and reach goals for results today an in the future</p>
<p>• How to leverage your strengths for increased energy and growth</p>
<p>• How to increase your confidence and overcome challenges</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Here’s What You’ll Get</span></p>
<p>• Comprehensive 38 page personal sales evaluation</p>
<p>• Business Accelerator Dashboard to keep you on focused &amp; on track</p>
<p>• 12 month unlimited online sales training</p>
<p>• 1 – 30 minute private laser coaching call each month</p>
<p>• 4 weeks of group coaching for each major course</p>
<p>It’s this unique combination that increases that provides you with the results you’re looking for in your business.  Whether it’s more time, balance, increased focus or more money you can achieve it when you have a solid foundation and the right tools for today’s business climate.</p>
<p>No question about it, this is the most powerful program that will get you results because it’s the only business program that is a blend of coaching and training that encompasses Personal Development, Setting &amp; Reaching Goals, Sales, and Marketing and most important helps you implement and execute the right actions that get you traction.</p>
<p>Knowledge may provide you with power but applied knowledge will create success!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Features of program</span></p>
<p>• Program is designed for the busy entrepreneur – Training programs delivered in short time periods to keep you productive and maximize retention.</p>
<p>• Affordable on any budget.</p>
<p>• Blended learning combination that increases your skill and effectiveness.</p>
<p>• Spaced repetition learning style guarantees that what you learn will stick.</p>
<p>I’m so confident that you will get results that I’m offering a money back guarantee.  When you enroll in the program and attend the program as outlined, if you don’t see an increase in results in your life and/or business.  I’ll refund your money.  Now there is a catch, you do have to implement and execute what you learn in the 12 month business accelerator program and do your part.    This does take work and myself and my coaches will be there to teach you and support you along the way.</p>
<p>Are you ready do something about it?</p>
<p>Are you ready to get the results you really want?</p>
<p>What’s stopping you?</p>
<p>If you’re reading this far you might be curious to why I’m so confident about my Business Accelerator program. I’m confident because I see entrepreneurs, small business owners and independent sales and business professionals getting results.  There is no magic or rocket science involved it really comes down to a unique combination of learning, support and accountability, focus and doing things in a certain way that deliver powerful results.</p>
<p>I’ve attended many of workshops and seminars as you probably have.  You get all pumped up and when you return to the office you throw the material on the desk and went about doing things the way you always have. I get it,  I’ve been there before which is why I created this program.  It use to drive me crazy spending thousands of dollars for a 2 or 3 day workshop only to get back to my office and ask myself, now what? Who can I call to ask a few clarify questions as I implement this program? We have you covered!  When you attend my Business Accelerator workshop you’ll receive 4 hours of instructions for each topics covered followed by 4 weeks of implementation and execution.  With my team of professional coaches we’ll teach you and then support you through weekly coaching and accountability calls.  And that’s just one of the unique methods we use that I believe is the ”magic” which get’s you results.</p>
<p>I could offer a one-day workshop, or 90 day program to get you excited.  But I want more for you than to just pump you up.  I want you to experience sustainable results, more time, more money, more balance in your life and business with more focus.  I want you to stop spinning your wheels and enjoy your life, which is the reason why you got into business.</p>
<p>Don’t delay what you really want from your business.  Call to sign up now. 714-381-3073</p>
<p><strong>The value of this powerful Business Accelerator 12 month program is worth over $10,000. </strong></p>
<p>Elsewhere if you want to receive this type of product loaded with the powerful information I am giving you, you will have to pay well over the amount in which I am offering this to you. <strong>To receive the Business Accelerator program, your investment is only $495 for the first month with 11 monthly installments of $295</strong>.</p>
<p>For even greater savings, you may opt for a <strong>one-time installment of $2995</strong> for the entire program for 12 months.  <strong>That’s an additional 20% off the regular price!</strong></p>
<p>I want to give you every opportunity to succeed regardless of your budget.  That’s why I priced the investment to be made in installments over the 12 months.  Are you ready to make a change and get your business on track? Or do you want to continue doing the same old thing and get the same old results?</p>
<p><strong>Call to sign up now and we’ll get you started right away with the Business Accelerator program. 714-381-3073</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Life and Career Coach works with clients to remove the obstacles that get in the way of what they want to achieve. Age happens to be one of those obstacles that come up during a coaching session. The conversations with clients become analogous to the endless debate whether you can teach an old dog new tricks. As coach, I am here to share with you that age does not matter when it comes to achieving happiness and fulfillment in life. It does a fine job of fooling people into believing they are too old to have a better life.</p>
<p>A prime example of how age does not matter is in the movie ‘The Bucket List’ where two men fighting terminal cancer decide to fulfill on their long forgotten wish lists. They take on skydiving and do all the things that young people would dare to do. The inspiring story is bittersweet in the end. However, in real life most individuals never fulfill on their dreams and desires.</p>
<p>Why? Maybe because life gets busy and before a person realizes, they feel that the opportunity is no longer available. Ironically, the opportunity is always there. Life is full of opportunities, and it can be as simple as a choice all the way to the very last breath of your life. Just as the two men in the movie decided it was a choice.</p>
<p>Another example of age and its effects on achieving life’s dreams is when I had a conversation with a woman friend of mine in her late 50’s. She shared with me that she feels old because she uses the phrase “hubby” to refer to her husband. I mentioned that I also refer to my husband as “hubby,” and I am in my 30’s. She felt a sense of relief when I shared this because her 20 year old son refers to her as an “old person.” When she proved to him that she is capable of phone text, he was shocked and dismayed. I suggested to my friend that she may want to share with her son that age is not an obstacle for anything.</p>
<p>Life is stacked with obstacles. When age happens to relate to work, the most common mistake a person can make is to think they are too old for a certain occupation. The most important thing to remember is the level of skill and experience you have. If you are not skilled in the field you are entering, note that it is learnable. There is nothing stopping you from going back to college and to learn new skill sets that would support you in the work field. It is only your fears that get in the way of your potential. I invite you to take what matters most, and by having a leap of faith, take a dive into the world of possibilities. What if you do not have to wait until you are diagnosed with a terminal illness to do what is on your bucket list? What if you could pursue your dreams and passions and age was irrelevant?</p>
<p>How would your life go if age were not an issue?</p>

Learn the value of using a coach to achieve your goals. Invest in yourself to achieve your resolutions once-and-for-all!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Have you ever wondered why some people reach their goals and others don’t? What is their secret to success?</strong></p>
<p>A study led by John C. Norcross reported that after 6 months only 46% of people are successful at their New Year resolutions when it comes to mostly three things: weight loss, an exercise program, or quitting smoking.* Another study led by psychologist Richard Wiseman from the University of Hertfordshire and his team asked 700 people about their goals and found that 78% of the people failed in their new year resolutions.** These statistics are substantially alarming. I can only imagine how many people right now in this moment are feeling a bit discouraged and asking themselves, “Now that I’ve made these resolutions, how in the world will I achieve them, and where do I begin?”</p>
<p>And there it is – the moment when doubt and fears show up, and the person is feeling at a loss. Does that sound familiar?</p>
<p>The new year has emerged and the New Year Resolutions have once again been declared by millions of people across the globe &#8211; for some it may be past resolutions unfulfilled and rolled over into another year in hopes that this is the year it will happen. As a coach I am here to say that there is no longer the need to say, “I don’t know how,” or “I made a resolution that I’m not sure will happen,” because there is another option. I will share with you two tips on how to finish the year and not become a statistic.</p>
<p><strong>What story are you telling yourself?</strong></p>
<p>If you look back at past resolutions from previous years, think about the resolutions you made and never fulfilled on. What mindset or story did you hold onto that didn’t align with the outcome you wanted? Telling yourself that you don’t know how or that you are unsure it will happen <em>are</em> obstacles that in fact holding you back. I invite you to first begin with considering what story or mindset you have around a situation. Before going the gym, before quitting smoking, or before setting out to lose weight, begin to think about and determine how you want to be around a specific situation. Do you tell yourself that you will reach your goal or that you are not sure if you can do it? Are you worried about what others may think? What kind of expectations are you setting for yourself? Are they high or low? How about ‘can’ versus ‘can’t’? These small subtle but very important distinctions can make a world of difference when it comes to reaching your goal. You may have discovered the perfect program or the perfect plan, but no matter how wonderful the resource or tool, the results will not happen unless your story supports what you intend to achieve. At any given moment you have the choice to BE a certain way when DOing an activity, so choose wisely. Really, the secret to success is to have the proper mindset. If fears and doubt continue to find a home in your mind, then it will eventually hold you back. Begin telling yourself a story that is empowering you, not setting yourself up for failure.</p>
<p><strong>Biting more than you can chew</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes we get excited about the new year and we begin to take on more than we can chew. How often have you made large promises and wasn’t able to keep them? Sudden changes in life can be challenging when an existing long-term habit has strong roots. Do you think you would be more successful if you start out with smaller sub-goals that lead to the bigger goal? Breaking down the large goal into smaller more manageable steps will increase the likelihood of reaching the final outcome you desire. For example, if you are looking to exercise 5 times per week when you are currently not on an exercise program, begin by making small changes in your habits and gradually increase the duration. Start the first 3 weeks with exercising 2 times per week, the fourth and fifth week increase to 3 times, and continue this sequence until you are successfully exercising 5 times per week. The key here is to make changes in your habits <em>gradually</em> until you meet the promise you made to yourself on a consistent basis to prevent set-backs.</p>
<p><strong>How will YOU finish?</strong></p>
<p>Begin today to shift the way you are viewing a situation and take small steps so that you finish the new year with a greater sense of accomplishment.</p>
<p>What would become available to you if you have a coach by your side? I coach people to get past their fears so that it no longer has a grip on them and we co-create a project design that will support their life goals. You are invited to schedule a 45-minute complimentary strategy session with me to learn more.
