Creating Luck With Smart Marketing

You asked if I am lucky or smart to have attracted these media coverages and business partners. I think I had a bit of both.
After all what is luck but ‘Labor Under Critical Knowledge’, right?
There is way of working that I follow and I focus on and what’s important (not necessarily urgent). That’s how I create luck and be ready when opportunity presents itself.
Am I special – to know what to work on?
I’d like to think so. But so can you. 
You too can CREATE this LUCK and work under an optimum environment.
When I decided to start my own online coaching business, I attended every business building class of my business coach for 3 months every week. 
That was all part of my coaching certification training and I thought I knew all I need to know to get my business off the ground. Little did I realize that what I thought I knew was only jargon I hear. Without taking action and implementing these concepts, I really did not understand the intricacies of how these principles work.
Fast forward to today, I am grateful to the different coaches I’ve worked with. They have helped me lay a firm foundation for a sustaining business that I am proud of.
Could I have done this on my own?
Maybe, but I probably would have takne a longer time.
Today as I coach my clients –
I see the same eagerness and sometimes the same confusion and frustrations that I felt in my early days as I tried to grapple with the many moving parts of building a business.
As an Information Technology Consultant in my former life –
we analyze the client’s portfolio, do our interviews and give our report and recommendations. If they want us to implement our recommendations we’ll do it as a project. If not, our job is done. Pure c onsulting is a hands-off approach.
As a coach, we works a little differently. I have written about it here.
If you are a solo preneur –
you may be working in isolation (no colleagues, no co-workers) and you can easily be distracted or discouraged.
Being your own boss is great, you get to make all the decisions.
But you can either be too laxed or too intense.
You can either be paralyzed by fear and not move forward or you can be too head strong with your own ideas and have narrow vision.
And working on your own takes tremendous discipline and focus or you will get very busy and yet not make progress.
At the startup and growth phase of your business having external objective views from a credible and trusted coach is especially helpful.
If you want to explore working with me as your coach personally, one-on-one over the phone, write in and tell us a little about what your business is about, how long you have been in this business and what your major challenges are.
We will get in touch and set up a call to see if we could help you. This will help you get ready to start 2014 strong and focused.
If you like to find out more about what coaching is, here’s a post where I descirbe what happnes in a coaching relationship.
I’ve consulted multi-national companies and SMEs having been based in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur etc. I’ve coached senior corporate clients one-on-one and I’ve coached single monthers working from home.
I am now working with professionals, coaches, solo prenuers, freelance trainers, healers helping them grow their online business using purpose-driven value- based principles, doing work they enjoy and are proud of.
If you like me to participate in your business building journey, write me and we will see how we can help.
We have different programs to suit your need. Write in and enquire. For best results set aside at least 3 to 6 months because we will need the time to put some fundamentals in place. There is no contract of course and you can opt out anytime. I don’t have to remind you that there’s no overnight success, these exists on hyped up marketing copies…
Last quarter of the year is the best time to get ready for the next year. Don’t wait till January to make 2014 special!
