Let Freedom Ring

 Happy Birthday America.  The home of the brave.  The land of freedom.  We proudly fly our flag and look to lady Liberty as we remember the blood and sacrifices that others gave for us.  

I am proud to be an American and celebrate all that the United States represents.  I have found great success as a father, husband and business owner because I live in a land that allows me the freedom to do that.  As you enjoy this beautiful day think about your freedoms.  Don't pass up any opportunity to be grateful for all you have and for the Creator that gives us the ultimate freedom. 

God Bless America.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach

Resurrection Day is Coming

This week is called Holy Week on the Christian calendar.  Holy means "set apart" for a divine purpose.  This is the week Christ followers take time to remember the incredible sacrifice Jesus made for all of mankind, believers and non believers alike.  The week starts with Palm Sunday where all of Jerusalem celebrated Jesus coming to town by lining his path with their coats and palm branches.  By "Spy" Wednesday the tide had turned, Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot.  On Thursday he went to pray in the garden.  He was then arrested and tried. He was innocent but none the less sentenced to die.  On Friday he was nailed to a cross between 2 criminals.      The followers of Jesus were heart broken.  

 

But everyone was surprised on Sunday when Jesus rose from the dead.   He appeared many times over the next 40 days to encourage his followers and show the world that he conquered death.  Within that time the disciples changed from feeling defeated to feeling victorious.  They then began telling anyone who would listen about what they had seen and experienced.  Jesus transformed their lives and he is still transforming lives today.  

 

That is what I believe.  Happy Easter everyone.

 

Moving forward,

Make a Living Encouraging Others

How to Become a Life Coach

Are you passionate about helping others reach their full potential and achieve their goals? Becoming a life coach might just be the perfect career path for you. In this blog post, we will explore the role of a life coach, the potential earnings in this occupation, the essential skills you need to succeed, and the steps you can take to start a rewarding life coach career. 

What Does a Life Coach Do? 

A life coach works closely with individuals to help them identify and achieve their personal and professional goals. Unlike therapy, which focuses on healing past traumas, life coaching primarily centers on the present and future, empowering clients to make positive changes in their lives. 

Life coaches act as motivators, mentors, and guides. They provide support and accountability to their clients as they navigate through life’s challenges and opportunities. Whether it is improving self-confidence, enhancing relationships, or achieving career success, life coaches are there to inspire and facilitate personal growth. 

How Much Do Life Coaches Earn? 

The earning potential of a life coach can vary based on factors such as experience, expertise, location, and the number of clients they serve. According to Glassdoor, the average yearly salary of a life coach is $55,619. 

However, bear in mind that many life coaches work independently, and their salaries may vary depending on the demand for their services and the fees they charge. As their reputation and client base grow, so do their earnings, making life coaching a potentially lucrative career option. 

Skills You Need to Start a Life Coach Career 

Becoming a successful life coach requires a combination of innate qualities and learned skills. Here are some essential life coach skillsyou should cultivate to embark on a satisfying career: 

• Empathy and Active Listening: Understanding and empathizing with your clients’ struggles are critical in building a strong coaching relationship. Active listening allows you to grasp their concerns completely and respond thoughtfully. 
• Communication: Effective communication and asking powerful questions help clients gain insights into their own thought patterns and behaviors, leading to positive changes. 
• Goal Setting: As a life coach, you will assist clients in setting realistic and achievable goals and guide them in creating action plans to reach these objectives. 
• Positive Reinforcement: Encouragement and positive reinforcement play a vital role in motivating clients and nurturing a growth mindset. 
• Time Management and Organization: Managing your schedule and staying organized is essential, especially if you work with multiple clients. 
• Confidentiality: Maintaining professional boundaries and client confidentiality are critical aspects of the coaching relationship. 
• Continuous Learning: Stay updated with the latest coaching techniques and theories to improve your skills and provide the best service to your clients. 

Steps to Becoming a Life Coach 

Want to become a life coach? Follow these steps: 

1. Self-Reflection and Personal Development 

Start by examining your own life experiences, strengths, and areas of growth. Engage in personal development activities, as a strong foundation is key to guiding others. 

2. Choose a Niche 

Determine the specific area or niche you want to specialize in as a life coach. It could be career coaching, relationship coaching, health and wellness coaching, or any other area where you feel your expertise lies. 

3. Get Proper Training and Certification 

While coaching is not a regulated profession, it is recommended to obtain training from accredited coaching programs. Seek certification from reputable coaching organizations to enhance your credibility and marketability,  recognized by the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC). 

4. Gain Practical Experience 

Practice your coaching skills by offering pro bono sessions to friends, family, or volunteers. This experience will help you refine your approach and gain testimonials for your portfolio. 

5. Build Your Brand and Online Presence 

Create a professional website, start a blog, and be active on social media platforms to establish your online presence and attract potential clients. 

6. Network and Collaborate 

Attend coaching events, workshops, and conferences to connect with other professionals and potential clients. Collaborating with other coaches can also lead to new opportunities.

Happy Fourth of July

Grill up some hotdogs, make a dip with chips and a red white and blue dessert, it's time to celebrate the fourth of July, our Independence Day.  It is the birthday of our great nation, a cause for revelry. 

 A Little of the History of Independence Day History.com

When the initial battles in the Revolutionary War broke out in April 1775, independence from Great Britain was a radical idea.  By the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence. 

On June 7, when the Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies’ independence. 

Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee’s resolution, but appointed a five-man committee—including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York—to draft a formal statement justifying the break with Great Britain.Read more about 7 Events That Enraged Colonists and Led to the American Revolution

On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of Lee’s resolution for independence in a near-unanimous vote. On that day, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 “will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival” and that the celebration should include “Pomp and Parade…Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other.” 

On July 4th, the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence, which had been written largely by Jefferson. Though the vote for actual independence took place on July 2nd, from then on the 4th became the day that was celebrated as the birth of American independence.

After the Revolutionary War, Americans continued to commemorate Independence Day every year, in celebrations that allowed the new nation’s emerging political leaders to address citizens and create a feeling of unity. 

Let's remember all those who gave their lives to the preservation of America, the greatest nation.  We started as a "grand experiment in democracy" according to Alexander Hamilton.  My wish for this fourth is for us to rekindle a spirit of unity. Unity is not sameness, it is working together for a common good.  Unity is critical for forward movement in families and nations.  It is great to be a part of this melting pot of people.  Enjoy your celebration.

Moving forward,

Jeff Roach
