Mel Feller and Multiple Secrets To Success

Mel is the President/Founder of Mel Feller Seminars with Coaching for Success 360, Inc. and Mel Feller Coaching. Mel Feller maintains offices in Texas and Oklahoma.

Like you, leadership expert and business author Mel Feller has seen the word leadership defined numerous ways over the years. Is it charisma and positive thinking? Pinstripes and red power ties? Decisiveness? Is it all about the situation? Is it meant only for the elite who rise to the top? Alternatively, is there a different story?

With over three decades of executive coaching, speaking, and most importantly, real-life, in-the-trenches business experience, his view is radically different. Mel Feller appreciates, and shares with listeners, that leadership is a moment-to-moment choice and not about title, tenure or position. Leadership is for everyone, every day. It is how we should live our life

Mel Feller sometimes referred to as the “Provocateur” for his ability to stir up a group or as the “People Whisperer” for his coaching skill that brings out the best in people, is known for his practical, street-savvy style; Mel Feller’s fusion of real-life stories and his conversational techniques connect with his audience at an intimate, intense and individual level.

He has shared the stage with U.S. Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton, U.S. Senators Jake Garn, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Orrin Hatch, John Glenn and Bob Dole. Hollywood stars such as Martin Sheen, Ben Johnson, John Agar, Royal Dano and Harry Cary Jr., and business greats such as Zig Ziglar, Robert Kiyosaki, Charles Givens, Tom Hopkins, Stephen Covey, Adam Ginsberg and Susie Orman. Mel also hosts his own radio show in Texas called “Multiple Secrets to Success” that focuses on both personal and professional tools in order to excel in life and business.

Mel Feller has over three decades of coaching and consulting experience in diverse industries, which provides a rich framework for his organizational insights and creative solutions. He brings a thoughtful approach to his work, carefully integrating both his coaching and consulting skills and abilities. When consulting, his focus is on “what you are doing” (i.e., goal setting, problem solving, taking action and achieving results). When coaching, his focus is on “who you are being” (i.e., how you are leading, aligning your values and tapping your gifts). As a client, you will become more consciously aware of how paying attention to — and balancing both — are critically important to your success.

Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Defines a Home Equity Loan For Real Estate Investing

Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Defines a Home Equity Loan For Real Estate Investing

 Mel is the President/Founder of Mel Feller Seminars with Coaching for Success 360, Inc. and Mel Feller Coaching. Mel Feller is an Innovator and Business Leader. Mel Feller currently maintains office in Texas. Currently an MBA Candidate.

   A home equity loan is a type of loan where a borrower uses his or her home as collateral. This loan could be useful in financing major home repairs, hospitalization or medical bills and funding college education. It makes a lien against the property of the borrower and reduces the equity of the home.

 Home equity loans are secured loans, thus the debt is secured against the home in case the borrower defaults on his or her payments. When this occurs, the creditor could take possession over the home and could choose to sell it in order to satisfy the debt.

  The mortgage lenders in this kind of loan is more at ease because they view a home equity loan as safe since a borrower cannot hide his or her home or disappear with the home if he or she defaults, thus a greater chance for the to collect the collateral.

 Home equity loans have lower rates of interest, the payments may be tax deductible, and a borrower can get a larger amount of loan. However, before you opt for a home equity loan, should be able to weigh your options well and consider the possibility that you could lose your home the moment you fail to pay your dues on time.

  Today many scammers take advantage of many homeowners and rob them of their most valuable asset. Make sure to check out the company you are going to do business with and ascertain that the deal is legitimate.

  Finding the right home equity loan helps you save thousands of dollars, thus, you should be able to look for the best loan that suit your needs. Make sure to look around and compare products and rates from various mortgage lenders or banks. Make sure that your credit score is accurate and ask your family and friends for referrals.

 It is of utmost importance to plan ahead of time and ensure that the amount you have to pay not every month will overburden you. A home equity loan fees could include appraisal fees, title fees, originator fees, stamp duties, arrangement fees, closing fees and early pay-off fees.

 A surveyor and conveyor valuation fees may also be applicable to the loan but some fees may be waived. The surveyor or conveyor valuation costs are often reduced so long as you have your own licensed surveyor to inspect the property.

 The title charges for home equity loan are usually fees for renewing the title information. Since most home loans have fess of some sort, make it a point to read and ask pertinent questions from your lender regarding the charged fees.

  When considering a home equity loan to finance your financial needs, make sure that you do not rush into it. Find out about the procedures, terms and other attachments to the loan. Keep in mind that in this loan, your home is your collateral and since the home is one of your most precious investments, make sure to weigh your options carefully before opting for this type of loan.

   It is very important to have an honest evaluation of what you can and cannot afford so you could avoid the risk of losing your house.

 Success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile goal. – Earl Nightingale

 The ability to set goals and to make plans to achieve them is the one essential skill of success. In fact, becoming a continuous goal setter will contribute to your success more than anything else you could ever do. An average person can achieve more than even the most brilliant genius, if that average person has clear written goals and the genius does not. Still, less than 3% have goals in writing and less than 1% review their goals regularly.

  The very best way to predict the future is to create it. Goals allow you to decide how your life will change; making sure that the change is in the direction you want. The reason why people with goals succeed is that they know where they are going. It is as simple as that. When you create a vision of something, you want in your life you will suddenly begin to notice the distinctions between where you are and where you want to be. You will become aware and alert to opportunities in your environment that can be resources for you to achieve the goal and you will get creative ideas and inspiration to take action towards it.

 Ambition

  A high level of ambition is a hallmark of all successful people. This means that you should set goals that are beyond your current ability and skill, yet still believable. You grow as a person from the demands you place on yourself, so always demand more from yourself than anyone else does. What is possible for you today comes from your experiences, and if you limit yourself based on the past you will not go any further.

 Set ambitious goals and continually work to surpass them. Your goals only specify the minimum results you will accept, not the maximum. Ambitious goals push you into action and even if you do not achieve every one of them, you will still go farther than if you had settled for goals that were too easy. Find goals grand enough to challenge you. Goals that will push you forward and let you discover what you are capable of. There are no limits to what you can accomplish. The only limits are those that you place on yourself. Do not let the limitations of others be your limitations.

  Big goals will motivate and inspire you far more than less challenging goals. Most people settle for far less than they are capable of and get stuck in a comfort zone. The way to get out of the comfort zone is through continuous goal setting – to continually stretch yourself, always striving for something more. The more ambitious your goals are and the stronger your desire for them is, the more motivated you will be to make yourself do what you need to do to get where you want to go.

  How badly you want your goals will more than anything else determine whether you achieve them or not. You can have virtually anything you want in life if you know exactly what it is you want and you are prepared to do the tasks necessary to achieve it. The requirement is only that you do the tasks in advance and that you do all of them. To tell that the tasks have been completed is easy, because when they are the success will be there in front of you for all to see.

   Selecting your Goals

  Brainstorm at least 10 goals that you personally want to accomplish and organize them by priority. Write them all down with at least one for each of these major life areas:

 Health, fitness and physical goals.

Emotional and spiritual goals.

Financial, business and career goals.

Family, social and contribution goals.

Material, leisure and experience goals.

Personal and professional development goals.

  To clarify what you really want to be, have and do in life, you can project yourself forward 5 years into the future and imagine that all of your dreams have come true. What does it look like for each area? What kind of lifestyle do you have? Where do you live? Who are there with you? Another powerful way to find your goals is to consider how you would spend your time if you had only 6 months left to live. What if you only had 6 weeks, 6 days or 6 hours left? Finally, what would you do if you found out that you had only 60 minutes left to live?

 The Steps to Goal Achievement

  Define:  A real goal is specific, measurable, and time-bound and in writing. Once you have decided upon a goal the first step is to define it clearly, exactly, as you want it accomplished. The more specific and concrete you are, the better. The second step is to make sure your goal is measurable. How much do you want and by when? Set the criteria for achieving it so you can measure your progress towards it. The third step is to decide on the exact date when you will have the goal achieved. Give yourself a realistic, but challenging deadline. Without one, you will procrastinate and put things off. A deadline will motivate you to do the things necessary to make your goal come true. Commit yourself to the deadline and even try to beat it. If you for some reason do not achieve the goal by the deadline, set another deadline until you do achieve it.

 Once you have done these three steps, the fourth and final step is to put the goal in writing. Just writing a goal down dramatically increases the likelihood that you will achieve it. A great method is to write your goals down in the present tense, as though they were already accomplished – for example: “I have acquired a certain amount of money”, “I have reached a certain percentage of body fat”, “I have overcome my fear of public speaking” or “I have developed the habit of reading one hour per day”, followed by the deadline date.

 Plan:  Write down a plan of action to achieve your goal and schedule it in a calendar. A goal is defined by the tasks you have to perform to accomplish it. If your goal is to form a positive habit, such as “I will learn a new skill every month”, the action plan is the same as the goal. On the other hand, if your goal contains many steps, write out a detailed list of everything you need to do. You can then organize the action steps by sequence and priority.

  To determine the steps towards your goal, you can often visualize yourself having already achieved it and then work your way back to the present. You should also identify the obstacles in your way, the resources you will require and the people whose cooperation you will need. Write it all down. You can always add to your plan later as you discover more steps. If the goal is long-term, you should break it down into sub goals with deadlines every 30 days.

  Once you have written your action plans for each of your major goals, it is time to make a detailed schedule.  In brief, you take a couple of minutes at the beginning of each week to schedule tasks from your action plans to the days of the week. During these minutes, you also review your plans, their progress, and set new goals.

 Action:  After you have planned your work, it is time to work your plan. Your goal setting must result in action, because even the best plan in the world will not work unless you do. Discipline yourself to perform the activities of your plan on schedule. Observe how effective your action steps are and adjust your plan accordingly to make sure that what you are doing is taking you towards your goals. A simple yet powerful success strategy to follow is to schedule and perform one activity for each goal every single day. If you do this, then no matter how big or distant your goals are, you will reach them eventually. It will also build a chain of habits that will put your progress on autopilot.

  When you have set a goal, the question of whether it is possible is irrelevant. The only question you need to ask is how this goal can be accomplished. How do you get from where you are to where you want to go? Always be on the lookout for things you can do to contribute to the achievement of your goals and continually look for better ways to achieve them.

  Persistence:  Make the decision in advance that you will never give up. Never even, consider the possibility of failure. See defeat as just a temporary part of learning how to succeed. Know that as long as you refuse to quit you will eventually be successful. The ability to persist in the face of the inevitable obstacles and difficulties to your goals is essential. In fact, with enough persistence you cannot accomplish very few goals in life.

  Your success in any area of life is largely determined by how well you deal with adversity. You can often tell how high and how far a person will go simply by looking at how they react to frustration and setbacks. Successful people are not those who do not have problems – they are the ones who refused to become discouraged by their defeats. Each time we face a challenge we have the choice to respond confidently, or to let it overwhelm us. If you choose deliberately to respond in a constructive way and to deal with the problem effectively, you will learn, grow and become better able to deal with future challenges.

 Motivation:  It is up to you to make an absolute must out of every goal you set. The more you think about, visualize, review and rewrite your goals, the deeper you will drive them into your subconscious mind, the greater your motivation will be and the faster you will move towards them. Get a clear mental picture of you reaching each one of your goals. Make it so real in your mind that it feels like you already have achieved them. We see the images in our minds that drive us towards our goals. It is these images that we can call to mind for support when the going gets tough.

 You should surround yourself with symbols of your goals and plans to help keep them constantly in your mind. For example, find pictures of your goals or write them down on post-it notes that you place on your bathroom mirror or work desk where you can see or read them every day. Alternatively, carry your goals with you on cards in your wallet and review them regularly. You can even begin each day by rewriting all of your major goals, and visualizing yourself already in possession of them.

  Summary:  

 Write your goals down clearly and set a deadline for their accomplishment.

 Make plans to achieve your goals, schedule them and take action.

 Do something every day that moves you towards your goals and never give up.

 Review your goals often and visualize them as already achieved.

Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Looks at Customer Truths in Business

Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Looks at Customer Truths in Business

 Mel is the President/Founder of Mel Feller Seminars with Coaching for Success 360, Inc. and Mel Feller MPA, MHR, Coaching.  Mel Feller a Texas- Utah Innovator and Business Leader.  Mel Fell has offices in Texas and in Utah.  Currently an MBA Candidate.

  The truth, which I stumbled across by researching mine own and my competitors businesses, is that customers are not demonstrating loyal behavior when they buy the same products repeatedly. People are returning to a product because the buying process is simple and automatic, and they have not yet encountered a reason not to purchase it.

  Therefore, if its good experiences that keep customers “dedicated” and bad experiences that push them away.  Then what you define and say about your product or service matters, but not more than the involvement, it delivers. Then once you get your foot in the door, the rest is about keeping that door open for repeat customers.

  Here is a staggering statistic according to a study by Deloitte, 89% of customers in the United States and the European Union stated that customers make decisions based on their customer experience ahead of both price and product.

  Therefore, it is not just about promising the lowest prices or extravagant features, or even saying and doing absolutely anything to sell the product or the service.  It is not even about convincing existing customers to keep purchasing your product or service repeatedly. The bottom line is that we know that they already want to do this.   Thus, it is about educating your marketing message in reality, trusting your product and delivering the strict customer experience your customers expect.

  The bottom line is that customers always need more, and at the best possible price. Customers want these things, but, most notability, not at the expense of a great experience.

  Therefore, if any part of your experience fails to meet the customer’s expectations you set up for your customers in any of the sales process, they will view it as a poor experience. Breaking any, part of a promise, even one small expectation, is still breaking a promise in their mind. Moreover, broken promises never make customers happy.

  Moreover, People seek a wide array of benefits when they are in a buying mindset. If you are communicating any one of those benefits to the people who want them this very instant, you have virtually made the sale. People do not buy because marketing is clever, but because marketing strikes a responsive chord in the mind of the prospect, and its resonance makes that person want the advantages of what you are selling.

 Your customers do not buy because they are being marketed or sold. Instead, they buy because you help them realize the merits of owning what you offer.

  Every educated entrepreneur or business owner knows this. Nevertheless, the truth is that people do not always buy benefits. They buy a whole lot more:

 They buy promises you make. So make them with care.

They buy the promises they want personally fulfilled.

They buy your credibility or do not buy if you lack it.

They buy solutions to their problems.

They buy you, your employees, and your service department.

They buy wealth, safety, success, security, love and acceptance.

They buy your guarantee, reputation and good name.

They buy other people's opinions of your business.

They buy expectations based upon your marketing.

They buy believable claims, not simply honest claims.

They buy hope for their own and their company's future.

They buy brand names over strange names.

They buy the consistency they have seen you exhibit.

They buy the stature of the media in which you market.

They buy the professionalism of your marketing materials.

They buy value, which is not the same as price.

They buy selection and often the best of your selection.

They buy freedom from risk, granted by your warranty.

They buy acceptance by others of your goods or services.

They buy certainty.

They buy convenience in buying, paying and lots more.

They buy respect for their own ideas and personality.

They buy your identity as conveyed by your marketing.

They buy style -- just the kind that fits their own style.

They buy neatness and assume that is how you do business.

They buy easy access to information about you, offered by your website.

They buy honesty for one dishonest word means no sale.

They buy comfort, offerings that fit their comfort zone.

They buy success; your success can fit with theirs.

They buy good taste and know it from bad taste.

They buy instant gratification and do not love to wait.

They buy the confidence you display in your own business.

  It's also important to know what customers do not buy: fancy adjectives, exaggerated claims, clever headlines, special effects, marketing that screams, marketing that even hints at amateurishness, the lowest price anything, unproven items, or dazzling graphics that get in the way of the message.

  They also do not buy humor that hides benefits, offerings signaled by unreadable type, poor grammar or misspelled words, salespeople who do not listen, or things they do not fully understand or trust.

  Therefore, the best-proven marketing of all involves prospects and informs customers. It builds confidence and invites a purchase. Best and unique of all people get it!   That is why knowing the truth about them will help you to stand apart from your competitors and shine in the minds of your prospects and customers.

Mel Feller, MPA, MHR, Suggests 20 Small Business Tips for Success

Mel Feller, MPA, MHR, Suggests 20 Small Business Tips for Success

President/Founder of Mel Feller Seminars with Coaching For Success 360, Inc.

Offices Located in Texas and in Utah.

 You must understand how to be successful, if you are an ambitious entrepreneur. Of course, there is no single key to achievement in business but many, which is your job to find and apply them in your organization.

 The foremost is to define your target since without that are you going to know where you stand proceeding and importantly whether you are staying on-course. While profits, though essential, may possibly not be the important driver for you if you are establishing a social company your goal can maybe be to maximize the amount of people you will help in your group.

 However if you like to retire in five years your aim perhaps needs to be to develop your organization to the stage where it may be bought for a healthy return for the investment of money and time. You need to take some time and fix your organization’s compass to determine what you are planning and put your company on a distinct course.

 Realizing where you are heading could be the key to achievement because just subsequently need to know and then you should share it along with your staff. They should realize your thoughts to be able to assist you reach your destination or outcome.

 Therefore, I just felt that these general tips are things you need to keep in mind as you design/operate your small business:

 1. Take the time out to explore and understand whether you are compatible with running your own business. Some people are just plain happier and better off financially on the other end of the paycheck.

 2. Get your personal finances in order. Before you jump into the entrepreneurship world, get your own money matters squared away.

 3. Pick your niche. Many small business owners succeed in businesses that are not unique or innovative. Take stock of your skills, interests, and employment history to select the business that is best suited for you.

 4. Benefit from your business plan. The exercise of creating a business plan is what pays the dividends. Answer the tough questions now before the meter starts running.

 5. Do not think you need bankers and investors at the outset of your business. The vast majority of small businesses are bootstrapped.

 6. Acquire the proper background. In the early months and years of your business, you will have to acquire many skills. Gain the background you need to oversee all facets of your business well, but determine what tasks you should outsource or hire employees.

 7. Remember that nothing happens until a sale is made? How many good products go nowhere because they do not reach the shelves? Sales drive your business. You will need a good marketing plan to sell your product or service.

 8. You have to see a customer to know one. No matter how busy you are, spend at least 25% of your time with customers. You cannot make the proper business decision without understanding their viewpoint.

 9.  Solve your customer’s problems. The best way to satisfy your customers is not by selling them products but by giving solutions to their problems. There is a big difference.

 10. Quality takes minutes to lose but years to regain. Quality is not a destination; it is a never-ending journey. After you have strayed from quality’s path, your journey maybe sidetracked forever.

 11. Put profitability first, rewards seconds. In small businesses, profitability must come first. Find out how to measure your cash flow and understand key financial ratios.

 12. Hire supporters. If you intend to create a growing business, your number one duty is to assemble a great team of employees.

 13. Do not do it alone. Find such help from small business peers, a mentor, even trade associations. They can help take some of the trial and error of beginning your business.

14. Vendors are partners too! Treat your vendors like customers and watch your partnership grow.

 15. Make use of benefits. Understand how to provide insurance and other benefits for your employees and cut your tax bill at the same time.

 16. Ignore regulatory issues at your own peril. Federal, state, and local governments require licenses, registrations, and permits. Obey them or face losing your business.

 17. Know the tax laws. Invest in understanding tax issues that affect your small business.

 18.  It is the people! Whatever happens to a small business happens at the hands of the people who work for it. The evolution of the business is a result of their efforts.

 19. Fast, good, cheap. Pick any two. Serious trouble awaits those who attempt to be all three in the market place. Stick with what you do best.

 20. Develop a passion for learning. As your business grows, you need to change and grow along with it. One common denominator can be found in all successful business owners and that is a passion for learning.

How is Success Defined by You

How is Success Defined by You

By Mel Feller, MPA, MHR Offices in Texas and Utah

 In the feel-good ledger of life, there are many emotional barometers, in which you can measure success and while each may differ from person to person, there seems to be a common thread that binds them all to each other. However, the one common factor that binds successful people together is the fact whether they can back up their claims of success, or the often used phrase “walk the walk, talk the talk”. How can you measure success? Well, there is not a specific way, but from speaking to many people, you do find certain things that resonate with eaach other.

This article will try its best to make that measurement tangible, and hopefully something you can reach to and measure yourself up to, wherever you may be in your life in this day and age.

 A feeling of completion. A feeling when the burn of ambition no longer singes the spirit. Moreover, not in a bad way. You start to look through life in a different kaleidoscope, a different light and you feel somewhat rested, mind, body, and soul and you feel like you have no need to prove yourself.

 Success is the measure of ambition and once both have reached their peak and there is no mountain to climb or ocean to traverse, the spirit relaxes and the mind slips into an almost meditative state of bliss. This is something that can be seen in the eyes of those who succeed, from their measured dialogue, their contented smile, the easy way that they choose to sit and how they treat others around them. There is no longer a need to size up competition and ruminate about life - it has given all it can and now is the time to waft with the waves to that final destination.

 Of course, there are other ways to measure success; one very common and easy way of measuring success is through materialistic means. This can be in the form of money they have made, material acquisitions, like property, or even awards won in their lives. These are some of the ways, which a majority of the population will measure their success with. The world as we know it will reward you in some way spiritual or material, and while the former might be noble, we cannot avoid that the human spirit will seek solace in the things they can touch and feel, the things that shine and have their named engraved upon.

 Even a pat on the back, a hand shake, an awards ceremony or an elegant letter - these are some things that life and our careers can reward us with.

 Success comes in many forms and each person has a different way of how they have made their mark in life, in their careers and in the things that they treasure most to them. How they want to display it to the world and what feelings these measures of success give them. Look into your soul and you will know when you have hit the mark you may or may not have set yourself to achieve.

 To me success is something that is less tangible. Often, when I write or speak, I start to wonder about the principles I stand for.

I wonder how the people who love and respect me will remember me in life and in death?

 Sometimes I wonder, what people say about me and what they will say when I am no longer here.  Will they say that I was a great person who lived by my principles; I cared about people and my family. The same things everyone says about people in general when they die.

 What if they say the things I hope to be remember for? Will they say I helped them change? Improve their lives. That I made a difference because I was born.  That is probably why one of my more favorite movies is “It is a Wonderful Life”, with Jimmy Stewart.  Now I am dating myself.

 However, What if I was not born? Would the world really miss me?  Could someone like me have impacted the people I love, instead?  These questions are being asked by millions of people today. Nevertheless, this question can only be answered by you.

 The legacy you leave is measured by what you do in life and death, your attitude, goals, desire and your love for others.

 Opportunity is there but will you do anything with it?

Since we cannot control when we will die, we are free to live life the way we choose.

 The bottom line is that if you want to succeed you must dream. Success starts with believing in yourself long before others believe in you.  With so much going on today, it is more important than ever to believe in yourself and your inner abilities.

 You must take the negative of the world and make it a positive. You should spread positive and help change the lives of people round you and even the lives of people you have not met.  When you reach your last days, which is a day most of us will never know, a positive life will determine the legacy we leave behind for others to emulate.

 Whatever you want, the universe and God will conspire to help you achieve that goal. The sooner you can answer all the questions I asked above, the better prepared you will be to understand why you are here on Earth and what you can truly accomplish.

 Grab a paper and a pen and start writing the answer to those questions.

 Here are a few more questions for you to consider:

 What do I want my life to mean when I look back at all I have done?

How will I create the ideas I have so they will come true?

Do I know what my goal are and why I why they are important to me?

What vision do I have for my life and who do I see a part of that vision?

Why is my path important to me and why not a different one?

Where do I want my life journey to take me and how far does the journey take me?

How you live and die depends on how you handle the journey of life. The legacy you want to create happens the same way.

 It is important to face your demons if you have not already done so. Push yourself to look for them and face them, so you can find peace of mind and move forward in your journey.  Follow your dreams, to your dying days. You do not have to worry what others say about your legacy. You will have written your own legacy, one you can be proud of.

The is the true basis for your personal development journey.

 These are the Steps Mel Feller Focuses on to Leave Your Past Behind and Set Yourself Free

 Do you find yourself stuck in the past? Do you regularly regret thinking about the decisions you made in the past? Do you feel that no matter what you do differently, you end up at the same point? You set the same goals again, but are not able to accomplish them? People do not realize that they create their life by keeping their past with them and recreating it repeatedly.

 We have to realize that there is a reason for the experiences that we have gone through and there is a purpose for them. We all have a past and that past could be the reason many people are not able to overcome it. Each lesson in life makes us stronger. The challenges that we face in our life contributes to the personality that we have today.

 We need to know what keeps us stuck in the past.

 We often evaluate our decisions and the results that come out of them. Everything that we see in our lives at present is the result of our actions in the past. Therefore, if we are not happy or satisfied today, we need to make better choices.

 It is not the past, that gives bruises to our heart, but it is what we took out of it and the meaning we gave it!

 It all depends on how we label things, how we take things, positively or negatively! If there is a snowfall outside, it is not good or bad, it is just the way it is! The same method applies to our past, when we think about it, it is not good or bad. It is just that the things turned out that way with the consequences and as per our actions.

 There may be many mistakes made or many opportunities lost, but those will not return to you. You need to let go, live, and work on what you have in hand presently. The present and future are in your hands to make it beautiful.

 Here are the steps to leave your past behind and set yourself free:

 Give your mistakes, disappointments, failures etc., a name; write them down on a paper. Call them by a name and burn it afterwards. Promise yourself not to repeat them and take this as a new start of your life

 Look back at your past mistakes and respect yourself for committing them! It is because of these mistakes you learned a lesson and you are a better person now.

 Because of the past mistakes, do not ignore and diminish the achievements you have achieved in life.

 Do not let your past to be your life story! Do not let your life be overshadowed by your mistakes. Leave the past and move on!

 Do not ruin your present by thinking about the past. Remember you can make your present and future beautiful!

 Never forget the lessons you learned from your past mistakes.

 Forgive, as it will help you to move ahead and set you free!

 Use your experiences to help others who are facing the similar situations.

  Therefore, there are common questions generally asked by in regards to what an Executive Coach is and does.

   Here are Mel Feller’s responses.

 What is Executive Coaching?

Coaching, with an executive coach, is the practice of supporting an individual, referred to as a client, through the process of achieving a specific personal or professional result. The structure and methodologies of coaching are numerous but are predominantly facilitating in style; that is to say that the coach uses adult learning theory and appreciative inquiry to challenge the client to create sustainable change.

  What types of people have Executive Coaches?

People from all occupations work with professional Coaches to help attain their goals. Executive Coaches work with people in all areas of their life including relationships, career, finance, health and more. Working with an Executive Coach is not limited to any type of person, but is best for those who want to take initiative in their own life and create a path to a changed future.   People who use a Coach are committed to a more fulfilled life and are willing to do the work needed to get there.

 How will Executive Coaching help?

The results will vary depending on what brings you to an Executive Coach. If you get a Coach to help you out professionally, coaching can help you make your current job more gratifying, gain better focus on managing your work, and market yourself more effectively. If your reasons are personal, you can find a coach to help you improve your relationships, resolve ongoing negative behaviors, improve your overall performance, and sustain beneficial change.

 What happens in a Coaching Session?

Each session is tailored to the client and will vary based on individual needs. In the beginning, we will discuss what you are committed to accomplishing through our work together and we will begin to create a plan to achieve your goals. Periodically, I will give you assignments, develop scenarios and create experiments to try new approaches, to help direct your progress. We will work together to acknowledge obstacles, explore alternate perspectives and celebrate successes. With the conclusion of each session, we will revisit your goals and evaluate the next steps that are needed to achieve these results.  Measurable outcomes is a key component of this partnership.  

 Do I really need a Coach; can't I just do it by myself?

Whole life approach to coaching, even when it is professionally focused, can take you beyond your own personal limitations. More often than not, people try to achieve their greatest potential, but do not even realize what stands in their way. A personal Coach can offer an unbiased and objective perspective, and can help you realize your patterns and habits. Most people experience that they are more efficient when working with a Professional Coach and that this provides the opportunity for them to better realize their potential. Executive and leadership coaching can make desired change attainable and will give you support and encouragement along the way.

 How is Coaching different from Therapy?

While the coaching I provide might end up being therapeutic, it is not therapy. Coaching is distinct from traditional therapy because it is not designed to address psychological issues. While emotional issues may arise when we move through change, the primary focus of executive coaching is to help, you identify your goals, achieve them, and develop constructive habits and skills. There is little emphasis placed on the past with coaching, but instead the focus is on creating what you want now and in the future. Often, we find that a process of unlearning from experience is essential to learning for a new future.  This makes an interesting and sometimes challenging process for the executive.  

 How long do people generally work with an Executive Coach?

To experience the effectiveness of a coaching program, I suggest clients make an initial six-month commitment. At the end of each session, we will reconfirm progress and discuss need for adjustment in the process.  Coaching can be shortened or extended by mutual agreement.

 Is coaching confidential?

Executive coaching typically involves a third party leader who is interested and supporting the outcome for the executive. How or if, information is shared with that individual or any individual in the supporting organization, will be agreed upon at the beginning of the coaching commitment.  What we discuss in coaching sessions will be held in confidence and not shared with others without express permission and knowledge of the client.

 As a Certified Executive Business and Real Estate Coach my goal is to help, you surface and advance your true potential as a leader. The coaching support I bring uses a whole life approach to naming your aspirational goals, identifying opportunities and barriers on the forward path and creating sustainable change.  If it is sustainable change you seek or expansion in your leadership capability, I provide support and guidance as an executive, business and real estate coach.   Together, we identify goals, honor the past and transform the current into the successful future.  Whether you wish to achieve a specific outcome or wish to enhance broader areas of your life, I can help you get there faster.
