I got the opportunity to go on a course called “Executive Business Coaching“, held by a guy called John Hains.

I didnt know what to expect from the course, apart from giving up 2 days a month for the next 3 months and this included a Saturday.

Today is Sunday and at the begining of the course I was sceptical, but after completing the first weekend, I have realised I have learned A LOT in the last few days by being taught through Accelerated Learning. My head is now competley full of new information.

Going on these courses and holding mentoring evenings are pushing me personally and my business forward, getting me where I want to be quicker. So if you ever come across an opportunity of going on a course or helping someone out, do it and try it out. Comment back on the Koogar Blog, letting me know how your getting on and if you are enjoying it.

“Executive Business Coaching” is going to give a new service to my current clients and new clients. Im not going to give any more away by giving you the secrets, but watch this space and keep up to date with Koogar’s progression!

Always have the courage to going forward, never go back.

Once every 6 weeks, 4 women (now 5) get together. Using each others houses as a venue to talk about their business and what problems they are facing or come up against.
The evening starts around 7pm ish and doesn’t usually end before 11pm. The host for the evening provides a few light snacks and drinks.

This evening is dedicated to you and the other members to push each other forward with the businesses that are run on a daily basis, giving each other ideas that you might not have thought of otherwise.

At Wednesday evenings meeting, only three of us could make it. In this meeting I got reminded about the “following up” process, as sometimes I have been too busy and have forgotten to follow up a lead. One one occasion I had lost the details of two leads.

Today I followed up a lead that I received when I went on an Effective Speaking Course I went on in May08. I sent the company an email to find out if they still needed our services.

The Director of the company got back to me within a few hours and explained due to school holidays some staff were not available for the training they needed, but they are still very interested in my services. She went on to ask about fees and the dates she and other members of staff were available.

So you see, even if you forgot about following up a lead and its a few months later, you should still make the effort to contact that person, just in case they still need your services and also to remind them that you are available for them whenever they need you.
Also having a mentoring evening with other business owners and freinds helped me go back to basics and also spur you on to do better things.
