			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-863" title="2591618662_38f0f7fb6a" src="http://andrewparkes.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/2591618662_38f0f7fb6a-300x255.jpg" alt="2591618662_38f0f7fb6a" width="300" height="255" />Want to know one of the greatest secrets to massive success? If yes, you&#8217;ll find it here.</p>
<p>Now, before I start, let me ask you this: &#8220;Are you 100% satisfied with your life?&#8221;</p>
<p>If you actually said &#8220;Yes&#8221;, then chances are you&#8217;re not destined for massive success. Massively successful people always know that there is room for improvement in their professional and personal lives.</p>
<p>If you answered &#8220;No,&#8221; I want you to do an exercise for yourself that will potentially change your life.</p>
<p>This exercise will only take 1 minute. It&#8217;s about the same amount of time it takes to update your status on Facebook. Grab a pen, a piece of paper, and turn off your TV if it&#8217;s on. Seriously, turn it off. This is about you creating massive success in your life.</p>
<p>On that piece of paper, write down THREE goals that you&#8217;d like to accomplish in your life right now that for some reason or another you haven&#8217;t been able to accomplish yet. Write down the first three things that come to your mind right away. Studies have found that whether you can spend 1 minute or 30 minutes writing your goals down, they stay the same 9 out of 10 times.</p>
<p>Did you write it down? Good&#8230;only 3 percent of true achievers write their goals down&#8230;97 percent just day dream about them. Or they go to a place called &#8220;POORMETOWN&#8221; where you will often hear: &#8220;Poor me, I need more money. Poor me, I don&#8217;t have enough time. Poor Me, I don&#8217;t have a girlfriend. Poor me, I don&#8217;t have the job I wanted.&#8221;</p>
<p>2) Now ask yourself &#8220;What challenge(s) have prevented me from achieving these three goals?&#8221;</p>
<p>3) Now here&#8217;s a very powerful question you HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF. All successful people ask this question in their life. &#8220;If you were able to eliminate these challenges and achieve your three goals, how would your life change?&#8221;</p>
<p>Write the answer down.</p>
<p>Now that you have your answer, look at it just one more time&#8230;this is how your life could potentially change&#8230; really spend a few minutes thinking deeply about what life would be like if you achieved these goals.</p>
<p>I am about to share a secret that athletes, singers, actors, business executives, politicians, basically ALL successful people have done for years that chances are you&#8217;re not doing.  And what if I told you that there was a unique approach that will help you get from where you are now to where you want to be in the next 60-90 days that all those successful people do?</p>
<p>Would you be interested in having a 25 minute phone conversation on how you could do that? And the best part is that you wouldn&#8217;t even have to leave your house to have that conversation.</p>
<p>Now, these types of success conversations usually cost between $50-$300 an hour. I know because I have paid $200 an hour for this for the last 8 months&#8230; and I will continue to do so. Why? Because it has been the greatest investment in my personal development that I have ever made.</p>
<p>Today, I am offering a 25 minute success conversation to you over the phone for FREE.</p>
<p>Are you ready to take the first step? Contact me to set-up a 25 minute success conversation absolutely FREE. We’ll talk about how you can work towards achieving those three goals you wrote down. Remember, a goal on paper is just a bunch of words, but when you take action, your goals start becoming reality.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to start putting your goals into reality, talk to me right away.</p>
<p>P.S. This kind of conversation is a secret because only 1% of people actually DO this.  Go out and look for a person who knows more about success than you do, and ask him or her for help, someone who KNOWS MUCH MORE. Continue to be persistent until you do find someone. This can be in any area of your life – career, dating, relationships, health/fitness. Even if you have to pay for it. Because the return on investment is massive &#8211; financially and in terms of happiness and overall life satisfaction. I know, I have paid for my own Success Coach for the last 8 months and the return has been exponential. I practice what I preach.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wait, contact me right now. I have limited time available to do these free 25 minute call as my Coaching practice grows so do not put this off another minute.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Typically, when I tell Young Professional Men that I am a Life Coach, I get 1 of 3 responses:<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-595" title="67556153_6a491776f8_m" src="http://andrewparkes.me/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/67556153_6a491776f8_m.jpg" alt="67556153_6a491776f8_m" width="240" height="181" /></p>
<p><strong>1. &#8220;Help me… I need a Coach.&#8221;</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;I need some help creating a Game Plan for life.&#8221;  </li>
<li>&#8220;I need someone to give me honest feedback.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I need someone to act as an accountability partner for follow through on my big dreams and goals.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;I need some help with career, finances, fitness, or overall life direction.&#8221;</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>2. &#8220;I don’t know if I need a Coach. I can’t think of anything I need to talk about. Everything in my life seems fine right now.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. &#8220;I do not need a Coach. Beat it, Coach-boy!!&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><em>What&#8217;s your response?</em></p>
<p><strong>For those in 1 &#8211; </strong>if we have not talked and you are interested in learning more, please <a href="mailto:andrew@successquestions.ca" target="_blank">contact me</a>.  Be a man and don&#8217;t put this off another second.</p>
<p><strong>For those in 2</strong> - do any of these scenarios describe you?</p>
<ul>
<li>Mentally and physically exhausted more than 50% of the time.</li>
<li>Holding hidden thoughts, feelings, fears, doubts, excuses inside that you have never told anyone before.</li>
<li>A feeling that you have a lot of potential inside you for more that is currently sitting unused/untapped.</li>
<li>No real sense of where you have come from or a plan for where you are going. Everything is reactive.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>For those in 3 &#8211; </strong>I am really glad that you are on fire in your life. I am assuming that you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Have worked with a Coach or have a trusted advisor, mentor, or accountability partner that allows you to be vulnerable and provides solid, honest feedback.</li>
<li>Have been able to self-motivate yourself to achieve 100% of your potential at work, in your relationships, finances, and health.</li>
<li>Have been able to self-manage the fears, doubts, excuses, and limiting beliefs we all hold in our heads.</li>
<li>Or&#8230; you try to do everything on your own and keep a lot of things hidden.  Why?  Because you fear that reaching out for help will burst the balloon called your IMAGE:  <em><strong>&#8220;I am strong! I am indepdent! I am capable!  I am worthy! And I don&#8217;t need anyone else to help me!&#8221;</strong></em></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Bottom Line…</strong></p>
<p>Men will naturally shy away from Coaching because we fear vulnerability. Society wants us to be independent, strong, and self-reliant. We all know this is impossible – but our pride remains, fighting to preserve this &#8216;Super Man-like&#8217;  image.  </p>
<p>I have seen this in my own life over and over again.  Finally, I realized that my pride and the fighting I was doing to preserve an image of myself to others was what was holding me back from truly living a fulfilling life.</p>
<p>I believe in the power of 1-on-1 Coaching with a trained Professional Coach and I urge you to reconsider if pride or preserving your image is getting in the way.</p>

<p><em>Tomorrow, F3: I don’t have the F-ing money or F-ing time for Life Coaching!  (</em>Editor&#8217;s Note: the F stands for &#8216;frig,&#8217; &#8216;frick,&#8217; or &#8216;frac&#8230;&#8217; not what you are thinking.  Get your mind out of the gutter.)</p>
