| Who is the Best Coach For Achieving Your
Goals?
A friend of mine was recently
at a Mark Victor Hansen and Robert
Allen workshop. They were promoting
their Enlightened Millionaire
Program. One of the topics he
told me they covered was looking
for a personal coach.
So let’s think of a few subjects
where there could be personal
coaches.
Basketball
Golf
Football
Talk show
Weightlifting
Confidence
Money
Sex
Real Estate Investor
Now what I found interesting was
what my friend said everybody
answered for some of the above.
They thought the best basketball
coach would be Michael Jordan,
Tiger Woods for Golf , Joe Montana
for football, Weightlifting a
lot would like Arnold Schwarzenegger
to be their personal trainer,
on confidence Anthony Robbins
of NLP fame was picked, Money
a lot said they would like Donald
Trump or Bill Gates, Sex and they
would answer Ron Jeremy, Real
Estate a lot answered Robert Kiyosaki
of the Rich Dad Poor Dad fame.
The logic here might seem great.
If you wish to be good at a particular
skill than find somebody heavily
well known as being great at that
talent or skill. Sometimes though
that is not exactly the case.
My friend went on about how he
then thought of the Green Bay
Packers as they had won two superbowls.
The unexpected had happened their
beloved coach Vince Lombardi decided
that coaching the Green Bay Packers
was no longer what he wanted to
do. The Green Bay Packers actually
tested two coaches and they tried
the above after the two other
coaches failed. The Packers took
up Bart Starr their successful
quarterback as their new coach.
He is a great quarterback but
didn’t do as well as a coach.
A lot of people do not realize
playing skills and coaching skills
are two different mediums. Vince
Lombardi was never a great football
player but is an incredible coach.
If I wanted a Real Estate Investing
coach a lot of people would pick
Robert Kiyosaki. Well who were
his mentors? Where did he learn
about houses and real estate?
Was he self taught? Or did he
learn from somebody else. It turns
out Robert Kiyosaki learned a
lot from John Burley about Real
Estate investing. John Burley
also teaches and coaches others
and a lot of his students have
success.
Michael Jordan the famous basketball
player has actually also been
a coach. Look at the results of
him coaching basketball teams.
He is one of the most incredible
basketball players but his coaching
skills are not even close to his
playing skills.
The Wizards the Washington team
he coach have floundered under
Jordan's leadership. They were
110-179 after Jordan began calling
the shots and had left the team.
Not exactly top performance. The
Wizards soon gave him the boot
as a coach.
Now let us take the famous Tiger
Woods. He turned heads when he
started winning so much at golf.
Than one day he decided to fire
Butch Harmon. Tiger Woods has
not won a major tournament since
the 2002 U.S. Open. That was the
same year he stopped having Butch
Harmon as his coach. “Tiger Woods
is not playing well, he is not
working on the right things in
his golf swing although obviously
Tiger thinks he is,” Harmon told
a reporter for a media writer
at Sky Sports. Woods received
a two-over-par 72 in his first
round at the U.S. Open. Woods
is not the same golfer who won
7-of-11 majors beginning with
the 1999 PGA Championship, and
he’s quick to admit it. How much
credit do you think Butch Harmon
deserves here? Some top coaches
are saying they see problems in
his swing and think that because
Tiger doesn’t have Butch around
is a big reason for it.
So remember when you are looking
for a coach. The best thing to
look at is the results of the
students. Who has the top students?
That is who your coach should
be.
