Coach Powell's Business Accelerator
Hey Guys,
This was a quick video we shot at Panera to share with you about Marvin’s process which has changed so many lives :).
If you have been one of Marvin’s clients who participated (or are participating) in the VisionQuest90 why don’t you leave a comment and let us all know exactly how it worked for you :).

Finding the right networking groups is not always just an easy process of finding the nearest business chamber and signing up. Networking is a very complex beast which rears its presence in many different types of groups and organizations.
I know that when I got started with networking (as we briefly talked about in Friday’s community question) I didn’t really have a plan as to where I should be going to network. All I knew was that in some rough sense: networking = business. So what did I do? I “shotgunned” it and visited as many networking events as I possibly could. It was expensive and tiring to say the least! However, I have managed to slow down and target my networking a bit more (as Marvin discussed in his answer on how to differentiate an advanced networker from a novice). Now I am looking for networking groups on a fairly regular basis, but I am often looking for networking opportunities when “networking” isn’t attached to the title. “Mixers,” “Networking luncheons,” etc, don’t always prove to be great networking events for me because they are often filled with people that I’d rather buy from! I want to be in a spot where my customers are socializing. That way I’ll be more inclined to sell or make connections, than to purchase!
While we wait for the Coach to answer this question (remember that you need to be part of the mailing list in order to get the Coach’s answer to this question) what are some networking groups that you have found useful for your own networking? Post them to the comments below!
Networking is such a complex thought process, yet such a beautifully simple system. Today I want your input on what makes networking easier when you plan it from the end result to where you are at the beginning. This is a complex idea but it going to make the rest of your networking so much easier.
Have you ever planned a networking situation from the end result towards the beginning? Did it work when you actually executed the plan? Post your comments on this concept in the comments below! :).
Positioning yourself as the Go-To person in your network takes some doing, but it is possible. I know for a fact that all (successful) realtors do this all the time. They have to be able to break out a list of people they know for their clients on a regular basis. While we wait on the Coach’s response (which will be coming out this next Monday) why don’t you post up some things that you have done in order to become that go-to person in your network.
Also, consider sharing this topic with your realtor friends and lets find out what makes a successful realtor :). Hit us up in the comments below.

Today we are going to be talking about the difference between an advanced networker and a novice networker. Before we post up the Coach’s answer to the question we’d like to field this question to the community. What do you think separates the two? Do you believe yourself to be an advanced networker? Or do you think that you are just a novice at networking and looking to learn?
Remember, it is vital that you get on the email list for the NinetyDayPowerPlay if you intend to get the Coach’s answer to this question :).
Because Coach Powell is very community driven, every day we are going to feature a different non-profit as the “non-profit of the day”. Today we are going to feature the Centreville Community Foundation which is a local organization that supports and builds up the local community around Centreville VA. You can find out more about CCF at: http://www.centrevilleva.com/ .

The Ninety Day Power Play 2.0 is up and we are ready to tear down the walls in Northern Virginia, and then the whole world. We have some amazing things coming and here is a preview so you can make sure that you are positioned to grow your business!
#1.) You can expect to see Coach Powell’s 16 Power Plays Playbook hitting the streets this coming May. This book is going to have 16 powerful strategies that you can employ to grow yourself, your business, and your leadership abilities. This is, essentially, “bottled Coach” (Patent Pending =P). Imagine taking Coach Powell’s $5,000 business coaching program (the same one which has generated such a big splash here in Northern Virginia), multiplying it by 16, and then giving it away for free in an ebook.
Its kind of crazy, I know. All I can say is that you would be insane not to be ready for it when it finally does make it out. The best way that you can stay tuned for that is to sign up for our e-zine! We’ll be releasing it for free to all of our subscribers. But only to our subscribers. So check out the e-zine on the right hand side of the screen if you haven’t already. [Read more…]
Week Seven ““ Pulling it all together
Sorry for the late post everyone. I had to put my old Honda Accord to rest due to a very fortunate accident for me. Dealing with insurance claims and new car shopping was a time vacuum that took more out of me than i can relay. The good news is that I replaced it with an Infiniti M45! Oh my! I finally bought a mid life crisis stud car. Look forward to pictures in future posts:-).
Ok, let’s get to work! [Read more…]
The next few weeks are going to require a review of what you’ve already done so take a minute to go back and review weeks one and two before you post your work from this weeks assignment. You should have generated so many ideas by now that it’s hard to contain them.
If you haven’t already started with week one, go back to the “rules of the game” blog post and start there. It’s not too late, you might not get caught up with the contest but you can keep up with the class. We’ll bring the contest back again in the second quarter 2009 and you’ll have an early start.
**IMPORTANT** If you’re going to play along, don’t just do the exercises for yourself. Posting your results ads to the community of learning and helps others get to see and know your business. You’ll be surprised who’ll want to help you.
The next few lessons come almost entirely from Ivan Misner’s work on building a WOMBAT plan. I’ve put our unique spin on this but I highly recommend that you purchase his book “Business By Referral”. Please see sample exercise so that you’ll know how to post your results [Read more…]
