Business Concepts for Coaches (ecourse)








Introduction
Are you looking for a fast (2 minutes a week) way to get up to speed on the very BEST business concepts so that you can share them with your clients?  Well, you've found the resource that business and personal coaches alike are raving about -- a simple lesson via email each week that covers one of the top 50 business concepts than can make or break a business today.  We've selected the 50 concepts which ALSO work with clients who aren't in business; after all, we live in a world where business concepts help humans develop and personal concepts help business succeed.  These 50 concepts work well in both domains, and the fastest way to learn them is here at CoachVille.

Business Concept #01: Creative Destruction

What it means

The idea is to deliberately destroy and replace perfectly good revenue streams with income from new or newly reinvented products/services.  Instead of just waiting for competition or other market forces, this forces innovation from the very top, thus acting as a catalyst for research and experimentation. This automatically challenges the organization to continually drive the marketplace instead of reacting to it.
Benefits
General Electric sets an internal target of 50% of revenue from products and services which are less than 5 years old.  This puts managers in much closer touch with current customers and the marketplace in order to come up with new ideas ahead of their competitors.  This results in a driven culture of creativity and innovation instead of a culture that is complacent with the cash cows and the status quo.
How to use
The next time you hear your client talking about how well their current revenue streams/products are selling, introduce the concept of creative destruction to them. Not to rain on their parade, but to challenge them to keep inventing new ones, even though they clearly don't have to.  That's the game here.  Creative destruction is far beyond the notion of "necessity being the mother of invention."  Creative destruction is its own form of immaculate conception.
Comments from coaches
"I used this with a client and they stopped fighting me about making important changes."

"I used this with a CPA who was wasting a lot of time (and thus had high opportunity costs).  He knew what the term meant but had never applied it to himself!"

Why is this resource valuable?
It's simple really.  The more know you know about business, and business concepts, the more value you can add to your clients, no matter who you are coaching.  And the more value that's added, the longer the client retention rate is, and the higher the client referral rate is.

Plus, you'll have the personal satisfaction knowing that you're on top of the most important business concepts and terms.  These concepts and terms are from the latest (and classic) books and articles on business, marketing and strategy.   This ecourse is a very hip, concept-based business education program.  

The concepts you will be learning will have a significant impact on the scope of your thinking and the power of your coachingAll for just a couple of minutes of your time each week.

You may even share several of these lessons with your clients (maximum of 5 lessons please, otherwise ask them to join CoachVille to access the full collection).  That gets them thinking bigger which makes your coaching easier because they are driving the process.
