The Importance of a Coach
Posted by John Di Lemme on Sep 17, 2009
As you go through life, you will meet people that have done what you want to do in life. They’ve made it! You know deep in your heart that if they can do it then you can too. So, how do you get to that level of success? Get a coach! That’s right…invest in someone who has done what you want to do in life. If you want to become successful in business, then find a coach that has made millions of dollars by building a business. DO NOT hire a coach that has never achieved success in their field! Let me give you some examples of what you should look for in a coach.
Confident – A coach must be confident. He can teach you to become successful in your field because he has already done it. Confidence comes through struggles and failures that ultimately lead to success.
Open – A coach must be willing to tell you the truth even when the truth hurts. Sometimes it’s very difficult to see that you are standing in your own way of success. A true coach will bring this to your attention.
Admirable – If you don’t respect the coach for what he has done in his career or personal life, then you most likely don’t want to hire him. A coach should be full of integrity and well respected among his peers. It’s hard to be coached by someone that you don’t look up to or even consider to be a professional in the field.
Consistent – A coach must be consistent with the strategies that he is teaching. You will see many coaches that jump from idea to idea because what they are doing hasn’t worked for their clients. Ask your coach for references so that you can see if he has helped others implement strategies that have led to success.
Healthy – Yes, that’s right. A coach should lead a healthy, happy life. You shouldn’t have to hear about how bad his day was or how much he doesn’t get along with his wife. You want a coach that has a balanced lifestyle that enables him to help you with your obstacles and not concentrate on his own issues.
These are just a few things to consider when looking for that right coach that will assist you in achieving your “Why” in life. I challenge you to set a goal of hiring a personal coach, but be sure to find the right one for you!
Crossing Your Goal Line
Posted by John Di Lemme on Sep 7, 2009
In order for you to have a life-changing testimonial about crossing your goal line, you must first pass a major test. This test involves dedicating many hours of your time and energy to achieving your WHY! As you progress towards your personal goal line, you will spend many hours of long and hard practice to cross that line in life and WIN! It is very easy to win in life, and it is also very easy not to win. The word “EASY” is the key word. Let’s think about it for a minute. How hard is it to turn off the television, put down the newspaper, delete useless gossip in your life and take the productive action needed to win in life? It really is easy and also really not so easy.
You need to make a decision about how long and hard you will pay the price to succeed and cross that line. Everyday as I progress towards my goal of changing lives worldwide, I am constantly tested with challenges. I love the challenges that I encounter, because they make the testimonials that I receive even sweeter. One of my favorite motivational quotes that encourages me to face those challenges head-on is:
For we walk by faith not by sight.
This simply means that you must envision yourself crossing that goal line, achieving your WHY and having your own personal testimonial despite all of the obstacles in your path. As your coach, I encourage you to begin focusing on your goal line and look forward to hearing many of your testimonies over the next few months.
FINISH!
FINISH!
FINISH!
Cross Over YOUR Goal Line!
Your Coach,

Is There a Thief in Your House?
Posted by John Di Lemme on Sep 7, 2009
A thief is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as one that steals especially stealthily (slow & deliberate) or secretly. Is there a thief in your house? I know that you are probably saying to yourself, “Of course, there isn’t a thief in my house”. But are you really sure about that?
When I ask you if there is a thief in your house, I don’t really mean your physical house. I am referring to your life in general. Now, grab a piece of paper and write down everyone in your close social network. These people are your friends, colleagues, business partners, etc. Take a good look at that list and understand that you are entrusting your Why in life (your ultimate purpose) to all of these people. That’s right…these people are a determining factor in the actual achievement of your Why in life. How does that feel? If you are confident in your associations, then simply stop reading this article. BUT if there is any doubt in your mind that someone you’ve listed could ultimately destroy your Why then keep on reading!
A thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy your dream for not only you but also your family. How? A thief will slowly gain your trust and many times the trust of your family and friends. Then, the thief begins to take cowardly action steps that slightly interfere with your progression towards the achievement of your Why. Before you know it, you wake up one day and that person that you trusted has stolen your chances of ever achieving your Why in life. How does that make you feel? I’m sure that you are truly fired up at the thought of anyone stealing from you and your family!
So, how do you stop the thief? You DECLARE that you and only you will decide if you succeed or fail in life. You simply can’t allow the thief to step foot in your “house”. Just like you have an alarm on your car, you must have a powerful alarm on your Why that violently sounds off when the thief is trying to slither into your life like a snake. You must believe that you possess the power to stomp that snake and stop him/her from stealing your Why!
I don’t want to make you paranoid about everyone around you. I just want to make you aware that sometimes people that we trust are in disguise. Often, these people truly do care about us but become infected with greed and jealously, which makes them become our worst enemy.
Remember, you must guard your Why and protect it from the thief. If you don’t, then no one will.
Are You a SWE?
Posted by John Di Lemme on Sep 6, 2009
We’ve all heard the term “CEO” for Chief Executive Officer or COO for Chief Operating Officer or maybe CFO for Chief Financial Officer. Yes, those are all titles that are typically used simply to give someone a feeling of significance or to define a person’s status in a corporate pyramid. I’m here to tell you that those titles are a waste of time. You don’t need a title to prove who you are or to put limitations on your strengths or to confine you to societal opinions.
The most important title that all entrepreneurs, business people, networkers, etc. must possess is “SWE”. What does that mean? It’s simple…Share With Excitement. The key to financial freedom and life success is being committed to the daily, focused, action of sharing with excitement. Let’s think about the word sharing for a minute. Many people say, “I don’t like to sell. I’m not into sales”. That is one objection that really irritates me, because each and every day you share something that you are excited about or something you exciting that you’ve heard from someone else. That’s what selling is about. In its deep core roots, selling is simply sharing. However, you must be committed to something you are excited about sharing. That’s why many people go broke when they take jobs that involve selling or marketing a product that they simply don’t like or believe in. How can you become successful trying to push a product or service that you don’t believe in? This is very different than selling a product or service that you love. When someone is excited about something, he can not keep his mouth shut. The excitement just pours out of his mouth. It’s easy for him to sell, because he’s simply sharing his passion about something that he believes in with all of his heart.
Are you an SWE? Are you are sharing with excitement? When you commit to being a SWE, your entire future will unfold at such a rapid pace. People will say things like “Where did it come from? How did you produce that kind of income? How did you earn your financial freedom? I though you were in sales.” It’s not your sales position that defines you or your success. If you are committed to sharing with excitement, nothing can stop you from achieving your Why in life. It’s your responsibility to search around for a business you can be excited about. Don’t take a job or try to market something that you know from the beginning that you dislike? It is your right to be excited about your business!
You were born to be a Champion , and you have the right to be a Champion. So, live up to your potential and start sharing with excitement! If you commit today to become a SWE, you will soon earn more than a CEO, a COO, and a CFO combined because you are sharing with excitement and believe in yourself and your product. Go for it! Share like a maniac millionaire!
