'LifeShift' Gives Way to Dream Business

At a recent point in my corporate sales and marketing career, I realized that my real talents were being wasted. The companies I had worked for were all top-notch in their respective industries and had provided me with incredible experiences to develop and grow as a business professional. But, somewhere along the way the landscape had started to shift.

Trying to maintain a high level position in today's corporate environment is like spending your entire career in California. The landscape goes through many minimal shifts (like earthquakes at the low end of the richter scale) and some of them are so slight, you don't even take note of them. These shifts are characterized by people coming and going, departments reorganizing or new products be launched. Once a new direction takes hold, the scenery changes permanently.

Like California (if you live here), most of these nominal land movements are so routine that people rarely change what they're doing once the shaking is over. We all joke about the 'Big One', but a land shift of that magnitutde is always something that never seems to happen. And so it goes for working for a big company. You wonder if the 'Big One' will ever impact you but then you go back to doing whatever mindless task got your brain thinking about such stuff!

Well, the 'Big One' got me last year. But instead of a 'landshift' it terned out to be a 'lifeshift'. I survived the jolt and was determined to get back in the game as quickly as possible. Then I started to think about the game 'I' wanted to play in. Unlike the devoted folks who lose their homes to Florida hurricanes every 5-10 years and just go back and build again in the same spot, I decided to take inventory of my talents and interests and go looking for something that would get me 'jazzed up' every day.

Once I realized that my coaching and problem solving abilities were responsible for much of the success I had enjoyed over my 20+ career, I began looking for a business that had the resources and support to match my skills and knowledge. That's when I ran into OneCoach- literally! Talk about the universe providing your opportunities for you, I was knee deep in evaluations of half a dozen business opportunites when I received 2 leads from 2 entirely different sources on the same day suggesting I contact OneCoach. At this time in my life, karma was not a term I could spell much less use to my advantage. Still, the universe lead me to a small, energetic, on-the-move company founded by a guy named John Assaraf who had already reached mega wealth status using the techniques I would soon be using myself.

So now I have my dream- a small business coaching and consulting company in the heart of Orange County, CA. Nothing could have been a better fit or serve to launch my desire to help business owners figure out how to grow what they've put so much time and resources into creating. I think of it as one dream supporting another dream.

I plan to offer as much of what I know and have participated in so that others can benefit from my experienced- good as well as bad. So stay tuned....
