Gas prices are high, money is tight, and the media keeps reminding us of how bad our situations really are! Times like these are just a great opportunity and test of what we are really made up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is only one question  we should all ask ourselves at this point . . .,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Am I  a real soldier?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's times calls for true soldiers who can stand the battlefield.  In war, you can't panic but must stay steady through out the process.  You can't give up and start to think you will lose the battle or you will end up losing the war.  Obstacles must become opportunities for us to rise to the occasion.  Our faith must become stronger . . . our resilience more powerful.  Our confidence in our purpose, talent, faith and our GOD must go to another level. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes this climate is a time for us to become REAL SOLDIERS with the stripes to prove it.  Some of us are Generals, lieutenants, and privates--where ever you are just remember it takes a real soldier to make it during this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If your business is failing; you are laid off; going through divorce or family issues or what ever it may be, just stop and ask yourself, "Am I true soldier?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real Soldiers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't panic in times of crisis &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stay focus &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Think out of the box&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adapt to various situations&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Persevere&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Get back up and never give up&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Are resourceful&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Play team ball&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hungry to win &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;live with honor &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Respect their weaknesses &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strengthen their faith and love GOD more in difficult times &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you a real solider?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;~Coach K &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/427154000912949070-2288814498042590997?l=coachkblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://coachkblog.blogspot.com/feeds/2288814498042590997/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://coachkblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/are-you-real-soldier.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427154000912949070/posts/default/2288814498042590997'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/427154000912949070/posts/default/2288814498042590997'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://coachkblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/are-you-real-soldier.html' title='Are You A Real Soldier?'/><author><name>Coach Kidane</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07452180160944836824</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_DWuEv2jMqjw/Sb8t-JczetI/AAAAAAAAABU/ntgyxvwGY6M/S220/DSC_0556.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427154000912949070.post-2701926645123040911</id><published>2009-03-16T22:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-18T10:25:15.269-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why I became A Life Coach?</title><content type='html'>I am often asked, “Coach Kidane, why did you become a life coach?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly I didn't know that I was serving as a life coach during those early years of my career. I was simply helping people who came to me for advise, guidance, and resources. In fact, I had the raw talent but I was doing much of the coaching techniques wrong. I learned after I started taking clients that I can join an industry called life coaching. I remember on the first day of class I told the professor, “How do you convince people that they are getting ready to mess up their life?" She calmly told me, “You don't, that’s not your job as a life coach.” I knew then that I had it all wrong and I had a lot to learn. I went through the program and ended up being one of the top students of my class. I caught on to the process and realized that this was a powerful tool to change lives, when done correctly. I now own a life coaching firm, Genesis International Consulting Firm, LLC with a team of coaches, Team Genesis Coaching Group, a life coaching certification school, Genesis Life Coaching Institute, and a private practice of clients. I am living out my life dream. It comes with a large sacrifice but the journey has been worth every moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say in a time when so many of my fellow Americans are getting laid off, I am proud to be in a position where I can employ others, contribute to the economy, and self-sustain myself and others. Don’t you think it’s time for YOU to choose the coaching industry? When you make yourself your own company, you are able to employ yourself as your own money-making brand. McDonalds, Gap, Coke, and Oprah are all their own companies. They use their brand to not only employ themselves but others. Put yourself in their shoes and imagine if you had people dedicated to researching ways to market your vision and brand to the world. The coaching industry allows you to employ yourself as a coach, speaker, writer/author, and trainer in an area you are gifted in.
