Does this outfit that you are learning to become a 'life coach' from charge you money to learn? Are there supplemental materials/texts that they sell you to teach out of?
Maybe this stuff is considered a 'starter kit' to get you out in the world and teaching people how to live...... even though you are only a couple or three years removed from mommy and daddy's house? :grin:

Not trying to be rude, hopefully I am calling your attention to the very possible scam that you are involved in. Outfits like this are akin to pyramid schemes. They make their money off of you, and convince you of all the money you can make if you follow their 'program'. They might even suggest that you recruit more 'life coaches', with the promise of you making money from the people you recruit.
Any of this sounding familiar?

Anyways, have fun and dont poke anybody in the eye with your life coaching skills. :yeah:

None of it sounds familiar.

I've known both of these guys for a long time. Before deciding to create a system to teach coaches they were giving me all they had to offer because my life was terrible. They're both motivated to help people because there childhoods were rough, and there sense of belonging/connecting was stripped from there early on.

They have a lot of YouTube videos up that explain things further. But, they're legitimate to get make a long story short.

And no, I'm not charged for this. I was involved with them before they started to monetize their skills, and I'm on board as a member of their community so I get taught/coached for free. Because I don't know as much as them, I volunteered to receive their coaching (through their program that they're going to sell) and offer feedback and analysis. Basically, I'm being taught while giving them feedback.

Again, not trying to be rude here, but a glance over their website says to me, that they are regurgitating basic 'self help' concepts and charging people for it.

If you REALLY want to help people, become a social worker and help kids in bad homes etc. Programs like this arent the way to help people, all it really does it lighten their wallets, while teaching them stuff they could learn from a library or used book store for far less money.

Without digging into their operation, still seems like a multi level sales scam to me.
 
Everything and everyone contains it's equal and exact opposite. Which side wins? Whichever one you feed.

I know you're not trying to be rude and I understand your perspective on things. Think about this though - could they advertise advanced concepts and expect people to understand it? Could you understand the in-field fly rule if you don't even know what baseball is?

Also, your opinion on creating real help by helping kids in bad homes is only your opinion, not an absolute fact. It's your view that the biggest change can be created that way and I'm sure many agree but still, it's only your opinion.

Everybody tries to help people the best way they know how, or the way that is most natural to them. Saving kids from home isn't up there alley nor is it up mine. I'd leave that work to the people who can relate most to that situation and I nor they can.

It's like a baker trying to teach chemistry to high school students. It's not his specialty so he won't create much progress with those students. If you want to learn chemistry, you seek someone that does it professionally.

This is also referred to as "vibrations" and you're absolutely right about which side wins, and how it wins.

You said the guys started this program because of their bad upbringing. They should have some insight dont you think? I mean, you wouldnt teach a class on baking if all you have ever baked is a Betty Crocker box mix would you?
Being a professional life coach with zero education other than a program 2 guys with no education on the matter came up with....... is kinda like your chemistry example. If you truly want to help people, social workers are the first in line to 'professionally' help people. If you are just a good hearted person who wants to help, most cities have soup kitchens that are in need of volunteers. Again, Im not trying to be funny or rude, just pointing out some stuff you might not have considered.

You have a young mans outlook on life, and there is nothing wrong with that. As time goes on, your opinions might just change. ;)

Some reading materials for you to peruse.

I don't purposefully feed it but yes, I do. Basically, I feed being introverted by not feeding my goal/want to be more extroverted if that makes sense.

In general, in any situation you can take on any emotion or state so how do you happen to end up in one then? By focusing on it, by giving more attention to it.

If your wife is out one night and says she'll be home at 10 and it's 1 in the morning now how do you react? The situation has no meaning until you give it some, and you give it some by focusing on which story you believe/which thought you feed the most.

You may think she's cheating so you become angry/depressed. You may think she lost track of time and feel normal. You may think she was in a car accident and feel total panic and anxiety.

You're mistaken in saying they have no education though. They, too, have mentors and many many more than I do. They were taught a multitude of different concepts by established coaches/trainers like Anthony Robbins, William Whitecloud, Les Brown to name a few.

Also, there upbringing is similar to mine. I wasn't beaten, or abused, etc. I just lost faith in my dad, and came to grow up alone and without someone believing in me. I can't relate to kids who come from "bad homes" and neither can they. I can relate to kids who feel trapped in their circumstances but I don't see that as coming from a "bad home."

This is a good example of what I just mentioned about how you choose what you believe in, and again YOU feel that social workers are the first line, and you feel that my mentors are only mildly educated. I know you're offering a perspective, so I see it as a perspective and not a fact.

Not your fault either but I am sick and tired of hearing the same things over and over. I already know that you change over time but what is true to you doesn't. Your basic building blocks don't change because they can't. Coaching is a career that is based upon the skills found in my building blocks so it won't change. Currently, I enjoy playing Black Ops 3 but it's not a part of my core so I'll likely have a different opinion of it on a few years.

If I had a table at home or money to play as much as I want then you'd never see me on here. I put in as much time as I can with my available resources. I'm trying to use my resourcefulness to get more access to table time though.

"Sigh"

Sorry pal,to become a pro you have to be WAY more commited than that! For example I took a mortgage to buy a bigger apartment to place 9ft table in it.i basically didnt have to,i had a quite nice deal in a local club to practice on their tables but i felt that to have at least a small chance to make it one day i needed to utilize my free time (i work 8-5 office job+i have wife) to the max. And i bet those young kids in manilla would just laugh at my level of commitment...
So realistically while you may want to be a pro you dont want it bad enough by a mile..if you really want to achieve anything you MUST want it as much as you want to breathe while being under water for a minute..

^^^ Exactly what I said just a few posts ago. You have to want it as much as you want to breathe. I did have that level of commitment just a few days ago but recent events helped me get new clarity. I want to inspire and change lives so much more than I want to play pro pool. Playing pro speed is still a goal but my other goal beats it outright.

When I've reached that goal I'll focus on pool. Until then pool is now officially my 2nd choice.

Thanks but I was asking the Colonel what he thought about that examaple relating to his post. He also has some pretty good insight on the topic of mental state and all else that pertains to personal achievement.


Btw, I am not just asking about how to change how someone feels about being introverted, I am asking about if he sees it as possibe to change from actually being an introvert.

I'm gonna get some sleep after this post but I'd like to finish with this.

If in a few years time I'm not life coaching, inspiring people, or changing lives then you can point your fingers, laugh and say "we told you so." Until then, I ask that you sit back and let me carve out my path to see where it goes.

In a few years time I may just be doing what I said I'd be doing in this post. I am young, in many ways I'm probably still ignorant, but maybe, just maybe this is a rare instance where the youth schools the adult.

Only time will determine who is right in this case. I sincerely appreciate the help you guys are offering because you're warning me in my best interest but save it for now. Let time determine if I'm a rare case or just an ignorant youth who has no idea what he's talking about.

-Richard

EDIT: What bothers me most is that I've got a mature mind and people say the odds are that I don't have it. Alot of what I say may sound like ignorant youth talking but it's actually the result of a mature mind taking a chance on something for the first time. Outside of these forums I'm told all the time that I act and carry myself well beyond my years and it's really hard for me to hear otherwise from people who have never met me in the flesh. I had ideas about becoming a therapist and getting my Ph.D. in clinical psychology until I found something that I believed in more and thought to be more powerful.

You are correct.... you should have fun finding out. Just dont let youthful ignorance keep your eyes closed too long. ;)

Richard, it's too bad your dream of becoming a pool pro didn't work out, but at least you didn't waste too much time finding that out. It only took you days instead of the years it has taken others. In this case you are way ahead of the curve.

I can see the direction you're heading now and it's also a well worn path that many have taken in life, including your "mentors." I would suggest that you think about setting up your own foundation and give it a catchy name, maybe something like Life Lock, or another like that. Better yet, make it a charitable foundation so you don't have to pay any taxes. Those are not too hard to establish either and this way you can add DR. to your name without having to waste years of your life taking courses.

We all like to find shortcuts to success. Who wants to waste precious years of their life getting an education just so you can say you're an attorney or a doctor, when you already know what it is you want to be. Better yet, just say you're an attorney or a doctor and act like one. I'm sure an intelligent young man like you could pull it off. Most people are too stupid to check your credentials anyway. But I'm sure you already know that.

This advice I've given you Richard comes from experience and that's what you seem to be missing, the experience to know how to manipulate the system for your own best interests. There's a lot more I could tell you that I've learned over the years from my experiences, but I'm sure you'll find out on your own soon enough. I can tell you're headed in the right direction. Good luck in your quest for the Holy Grail!

Nobody can knock my dreams but I fully embrace people like you who want to support it. I have a life coaching mentor who is teaching me to coach while also giving me coaching to test his product. I was asked to decide between my 3 loves and focus on one to build my life around: Pool, life coaching, or martial arts.

He told me the answer is not where the money is at but where I derive the most passion and pool was my immediate answer. My entire heart and soul is in this game and it's pure. Because of that, nobody can knock it.

If you can go from being absolutely certain your "entire heart and soul" is in pool to now wanting to "inspire and change lives" instead, in just 2 days, I really don't think anyone should be taking advice from you on how to live. Do yourself a favor and realize you don't have anything figured out yet, which is quite alright.

I now firmly slot you as an idiot.

I have heart and passion for 3 things; pool, martial arts, and coaching.

I am focusing on coaching first. After I am done with coaching I can move on to focus on pool. I am not focusing on pool first though as I had never intended to do.

A lot of people seemed to have misconstrued many things I've said. Pool is just one of my goals, and isn't my highest goal as people seemed to have assumed. Plus... if you really want to inquire:

Wouldn't you say as a pro player I would be "inspiring people?" Underlying my motivation to play pro-speed is that want to "inspire people." If you can't follow that then you really are an idiot.
