This evening ETC has its first weekly conference call. The program is designed to improve businesses that focus on young people and athletics.

"2011 is getting off to a great start and I'm really excited about growing my company to serve as many people as I can reach. I feel quite fortunate to be connected to an extremely talented and successful entreprenuer, Duane Spires, who has impacted many lives with his Extreme Youth Sports fitness programs. He's now graciously helping individuals like myself who are ready to grow their business beyond what they could achieve on their own with his business coaching program, EYS Entrepreneurial Training Course. Even before the program started, Duane, gave me great ideas that I've already started to implement and he has me thinking about my business in a way I never thought of before or even thought was possible. I know 100% that I would not be able to move forward with creating a real business without having expert help, accountability, and a direct resource of years of experience and know how that Duane and his EYS ETC program provides. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of all the ETC members and to see how many people we can help reach better health with our businesses."

I know that I need to be challenged personally and professionally and I think this program can help me do that. I'm excited that there is a lot of discipline and accountability in the program. There are no excuses, you either commit to being successful and create amazing results or you don't (and you get kicked out of the program). This week in preparation for our weekly conference call ETC students submitted ten goals that they wanted to achieve by working with the ETC program. I have a lot of goals so it was a fairly easy for me (my goals are at the end of this post). I can't wait to get to all of the things that I know are really going to stretch me!

I have already been asked to be a forum moderator. I look forward to gaining the leadership experience the position offers. Duane moderates our weekly calls but we also have forums that meet once a month. Forums give the participants to get to talk freely with one another and create something like a think tank for the challenges we all face.

My goals:

1. Build a positive personal net worth
2. Create and stick to a savings, investment, and spending plan
3. Develop greater self discipline
4. Gross 250k or more through my business
5. Build more systems into my business
6. Develop a better customer management system and develop better customer/company relationships
7. Develop a stronger management team
8. Create a stronger advisor team (I.e. accountants, lawyers, etc)
9. Create marketing programs that drive more students into my programs
10. Ensure my programs are not only teaching athletic skill but also leadership and personal development skills
11. Learn to hire great people and train them to be great instructors
12. Spend more face to face time with clients and partners that contribute to my company
13. Create programs that help me reach underprivileged girls

This weeks homework is to describe what our businesses look like when they are completed (I'm sure I will be posting that soon). Our action step is to schedule a 30 minute call with Duane to create a plan of action for reaching our goals.
