I am actually working on a new project now, which was an idea I’ve had for ages but it was just going to be another one of such websites out there, trying to get a share of the market and hopefully make a few pennies.

Because of this article and some things you said in a couple of your free videos I have completely redeveloped the idea and this has resulted in the creation of http://www.wightshopper.co.uk . It’s a deal, offers, and discounts website, but focused purely on the geographical area where I live, has some real world plans for creating community and has specific mission objectives what will hopefully lead to dominance and attaining the preeminence you talk about.

Thanks Yaro. Best wishes, Mark.

Thanks for the response. I apologize for acting so picky about what he calls himself. With the apparent high degree of confusion about what life coaches really do and how life coaching really works, it makes it difficult explain true life coaching when everyone is calling themselves a coach. So many other people call themselves coaches, that he has a right to do it also, whether he is coaching or not. We would all be better off if I did not act as the keeper of the coach designation. If what he does works, then whatever he calls himself is immaterial. I retract my unwarranted comments on titles.

I lately saw Rich on his seminar and it was great. He gave me so much valuable information! But I didn’t know about his books so I am on my way to download them asap.

Yaro, thanks for the tip about the books!

I am sure you are able to transmit his valuable knowledge.

I really enjoyed your post. It’s interesting to see the direction internet business is going with the “web 2.0” and social media community feel starting to dominate how people connect to each other online. I completely agree with the idea of becoming and expert in one thing. With all the different forms of social media out there creating a community where are you as an expert is becoming more and more easy to do. My partner and I have done the same thing as you, we went through and decided what we wanted our ONE (or two) business(es) to be and have started cutting all the other small businesses that take time away from that. I think building one main community rather then simply a bunch of little sites or prospect/customer lists is the way to go.

Again, great post and have a great time in Florida!

Without getting into the semantics of what is a consultant, teacher, coach, etc, I can’t really say either way.

Certainly if you are looking for regular one-on-one time with a personal coach focused on just your business, then you probably won’t get that from Rich’s program. You might consider him more as a teacher in that case. Rich does do private coaching, but his fee is probably out of the range of most people reading this, hence his group coaching program is more accessible.

I’ve actually thought I might offer one-on-one coaching sometime in the future, helping people to implement what Rich teaches with a more personal focus, but I’m not sure whether there is a demand for it, nor would I start offering it until I’m done automating my current projects so I can really say I have walked the talk.

It definitely wasn’t just Rich, that’s one of the main principles behind his success – building a talented team to run your business for you.

I think whenever someone claims they did something like build a business they really mean they were in charge of a team that did it together, which is the case in all of Rich’s businesses.
