For those of you that don't know me. I'm Dr. Rob Garcia. I
am a life coach, specifically an optimization coach. It means when you are done
reading this, you will be performing at a higher level. You will sharpen your
entrepreneurial skills, you will think at a higher tier of cognitive function
and you will have the confidence to influence others in a positive light.
How am I so sure? Because I live what I teach. By doing
years of research I have:
Gone from struggling to finish a 1/2 mile beach run to
completing a 16 mile nonstop beach run by training up to it.

| "I need a banana and water. REAL BAD" |
Failed high school and college twice and despite every adult
in my family being on drugs or in prison, went on to earn six degrees including
a Doctorate in Education
Self published 7 books (the last being done in 6 hours,
start to finish)
Added 70 pounds to my bench press in a month by spending $20
on a piece of exercise equipment (hint: doorway)
Learned how to add value to media entities to get on TV,
radio, and in magazines
Created an automated money system that will enable me to
make sales 24/7 while I do NOTHING
Reverse engineered 5 diet plans to create my own diet plan
to kick my obesity
All of these feats were possible because I adjusted my
habits to adopt the most efficient way to do things. How can this help you?
Because once you start realizing that certain things are slowing you down,
removing or altering them can cause massive changes!
Give
All of you have some type of skill or experience, The Law of
Success by Napoleon Hill says that in order to truly have others appreciate
you, you must give freely so that your talent will shine.
I volunteered to judge a high school science fair recently.
I met a vice principal, a regional program manager and the director for every
middle and high school in the county who immediately started talking about a
contract for a speaking engagement. I was also successful in negotiating a
partnership to help low income high school kids. Talk about a great promotion
for my company.
Find Your Tribe
One of the hardest things I have worked on is building my
image and making allies. I found a huge entrepreneurial group using meetup.com
and in this week alone have had four requests for help publishing books, an
offer for teen counseling, and an offer to partner up with a school. YOU HAVE
TO FIND LIKE MINDED PEOPLE SO YOU CAN GROW.
Find Your Market
Can you name off your target market right now? The top three
people most likely to use your services?
For me as a life coach it is vets, teens, obese adults. That
was easy. Now that I have identified them, how do i find them? I can do
specialized searches on Facebook, I can search large groups (military.com,
edutopia.com, circleofmoms.com) or I can drop the nuke:
ALMOST EVERY STARBUCKS HAS A COMMUNITY BOARD
(read that one twice)
So you go to 99designs.com, and hire a designer to make you
an amazing promo card listing your service. It should have a professional photo
of you, your services, and a contact email or business number. Now imagine
doing this at every Starbucks in your area. That's free marketing 16 hours a
day.
Next, use the app Whisper. Get it on your phone. I have
seriously found 3 paying clients for coaching with little effort. Just make a
post advertising what you do or are selling, a quick website link. (BIG HINT:
Whisper uses keyword searches. If your market is vets, use words like
"vets" "military" or "defense", you'll be matched
to your audience).
Find a Mentor
This is essential. You need someone that can answer
questions, guide you, and give suggestions. They should be two steps up the
food chain than you (roughly 5-10 years ahead of you in terms of business
growth). A mentor has "been there, done that" and will be an
important step in your growth.
Conversely, you should BE a mentor as well. Volunteer in
your local church, high school, middle school or Boys and Girls club. There are
many ways to give back and spread your influence.
Advance to Your Next Level
I saved the best for last. In my book, The Next Level, I
created a 5 tier ranking system to self identify one's proficiency at any job
or skill. Then I listed 10 methods that top performers use to advance to their
next level. For the last chapter, I interviewed four AMAZING top performers and
isolated which Next Level methods worked for them.
By using this ranking system, you can absolutely apply this
to your business, venture or company and see where you are. Then review the ten
methods and plot out a new path to advance. I can absolutely help with this if
you need a quick assist.
Here is my way of giving. The FREE E-Book of the Next Level.
I believe so strongly in your growth that I am willing to share this powerful
book for free. Just promise you will use it properly:
1. Get out a piece of paper and pen before reading it
2. Take notes when you read something meaningful
3. Use the GMOSC ranking system to isolate what level you
are as an entrepreneur
4. Choose 1-10 of the methods to grow that are the most
appealing to you (you can ABSOLUTELY combine them to make a more powerful
method. Just like Voltron)
5. Read the interviews and realize what these people have
gone through and how they crushed their roadblocks by using SELF CONFIDENCE
The Next Level FREE
E-Book:
For those of you that want a hard copy (it makes a great
gift), it's now 15% off ($11.04)
