Whether people are trying to lose weight and keep it off or improve their businesses and personal lives, it takes a system and time.<\/strong>\u00a0 Knowing what to do is never enough.\u00a0 You need to consistently do what you know you should do.<\/em>\u00a0 There are no quick fixes or short-cuts.\u00a0 No matter the desired change, people perform best when they set their own goals and are provided with a proven process<\/a>, structure, discipline and on-going support and accountability to reach those goals.\u00a0 We all reach higher levels of performance with a coach and a system \u2026 professional athletes and wise entrepreneurs alike.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What appears to be the most effective and sustainable weight loss program?\u00a0<\/strong> The undisputed winner for the last several years seems to be Weight Watchers<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s Consumer Reports or the Journal of American Medical Association or other scientific studies, they all seem to agree that Weight Watchers is the best overall weight loss system \u2026 based on nutritional value, lower drop-out rates, and long-term weight loss effectiveness and maintenance.\u00a0 The real question and valuable lesson to business owners is why?<\/em>\u00a0 What are their secrets and can we adopt and adapt them for other positive changes in our business and lives?\u00a0 Of course we can !!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three basic and powerful reasons for Weight Watchers’ success are: on-going coaching, accountability, and support<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong> Everything is an ongoing process \u2026 nothing is an event and nothing is for a limited time \u2026 their process is perpetual and truly changes how their clients think and behave.\u00a0 You first need to change on the inside to get the external results you want.\u00a0 As such, any lasting change (weight loss or business success) comes down to a proven process, a customized plan of action, face-to-face accountability, on-going support, and flexible implementation \u2026 again, a perpetual mindset and behavior-changing process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, these have been the very same cornerstones of The Growth Coach<\/a> system for nearly two decades and why our several thousand small business clients<\/a> each and every year also get such superior and sustainable results<\/strong>.\u00a0 Our business coaching company provides a proven, on-going coaching and accountability process within a structured, supportive and mastermind environment.\u00a0 In fact, many clients over the years have affectionately referred to The Growth Coach as Weight Watchers on steroids for business owners<\/em> \u2026 simply because of the similarities of our programs and successful results.\u00a0 After all, it\u2019s not about just knowing what to do \u2026 it\u2019s really about consistently doing what you know.\u00a0 Our on-going system drives lasting transformation and massive action that gets superior results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like Weight Watchers, The Growth Coach has regular group coaching meetings<\/strong> that provide face-reality insights (similar to weigh-ins) and strong group encouragement and support from like-minded, goal-oriented individuals on a common mission.\u00a0 In our case, it’s successful entrepreneurs wanting to achieve even greater business success and personal balance.\u00a0 While our clients participate in the same coaching process, they each get to determine their own goals and leave every coaching session with a 100% customized action plan<\/strong> to implement as they wish \u2026 with real-life flexibility.\u00a0 When they return, accountability awaits them and helps them to change their mindsets, behavior and habits over time \u2026 yielding real, sustainable and lasting success.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Comparable to Weight Watchers and their regular weigh-ins, our clients have an opportunity to assess and face reality about their business and life, accept the truth, and create a customized action plan to improve upon their situation<\/strong>.\u00a0 After all, without truth, there is no real progress in life or business.\u00a0 With the Growth Coach process, there is no room for denial, blaming or excuses \u2026 just the facts about what is working and what is not working in your business and personal life.\u00a0 Again, it’s not problems that are your real problems.\u00a0 It’s the fact that most business owners deny, dismiss or don’t stop to confront their problems and seize upon their opportunities.\u00a0 With our proven coaching process, we ensure that happens every session.\u00a0 While most Weight Watcher clients go weekly, the vast majority of The Growth Coach clients attend group coaching workshop<\/a> sessions on a quarterly basis<\/strong>.\u00a0 Some clients also engage our business coaching company for one-on-one monthly or weekly sessions for extra guidance, accountability and support.<\/p>\n

Please understand, while I sure could stand to lose 5-10 pounds, I have not used Weight Watchers and have no vested interest in them.\u00a0 But I know why they are so effective \u2026 now so do you.\u00a0 After nearly two decades of coaching small business owners, I know with certainty that in order to change someone’s mindset, daily thinking, actions and habits, it takes time, a proven coaching process and on-going support and accountability.<\/strong>\u00a0 So whether you are trying to lose weight or improve your business and life, without on-going support and accountability, you are kidding yourself \u2026 you will stay in your same old rut and comfort zone and very little will change. For your business and life to change, you first must change.<\/strong><\/p>\n
