We live in interesting times. The world media is having a field day right now talking about the credit crunch and the negative impact it is having on people all over the world, and of course they are right. It is indeed having a terrible impact on many people. However paradoxically in the world of coaching we are seeing something different. Because of this credit crisis we are actually noticing an increased demand for coaches and coaching in a number of areas.
For example thousands of individuals are now using coaching to help them to make sense of what is happening in their world to help give direction and help them to come to decision regarding the most appropriate career choice for them in the future.
Companies are making many people redundant and, as part of that process are bringing in coaches to work with the men and women who, unfortunately are losing their jobs to help them to seek a positive outcome.
Corporations are now asking more of their middle management and senior executives and as such are now employing executive coaches to work with senior men and women in order to help them achieve more within the workplace and to help them achieve what we call Peak performance while they are at work.
So although the credit crunch is indeed a most horrible situation it is helping many coaches by providing them with extra work.
Here at Noble Manhattan we are now managing to get in the region of 5 to 10 coaching contracts each day for our existing coaches. (that is phenomenal)
What else are we doing? Well our Meaningful Change Weight Loss Programme is now interviewing people to become licensees.
If you would like to be part of the very first group of coaches to be a newly qualified meaningful change weight loss coach. Contact the office now for full details.
We have also launched a whole new initiative called Noble Contracts.
A special service and range of products to equip all of our students and coaches with professionally drawn up legal contracts that they can use with their clients.

We have so many new and exciting projects being worked on right now that we have now increased our IT development team by five new members in the last week alone.
And finally the QUEST. The journey and the adventure of a lifetime.
This was actually take place in October 2009 but people can start booking from now.
For full details go to www.noble-quest.com
I think that's more than enough from me. Have a great November.

ENDING PROCRASTINATION by Jim Rohn
Perseverance is about as important to achievement as gasoline is to driving a car. Sure, there will be times when you feel
like you're spinning your wheels, but you'll always get out of the rut with genuine perseverance. Without it, you won't even be able to start your engine.
The opposite of perseverance is procrastination. Perseverance means you never quit. Procrastination usually means you never get started, although the inability to finish something is also a form of procrastination.
Ask people why they procrastinate and you'll often hear something like this: "I'm a perfectionist. Everything has to
be just right before I can get down to work. No distractions, not too much noise, no telephone calls interrupting me, and of
course I have to be feeling well physically, too. I can't work when I have a headache." The other end of procrastination -
being unable to finish - also has a perfectionist explanation: "I'm just never satisfied. I'm my own harshest critic. If all
the i's aren't dotted and all the t's aren't crossed, I just can't consider that I'm done. That's just the way I am, and I'll probably never change."
Do you see what's going on here? A fault is being turned into a virtue. The perfectionist is saying that his standards are
just too high for this world. This fault-into-virtue syndrome is a common defense when people are called upon to discuss
their weaknesses, but in the end it's just a very pious kind of excuse making. It certainly doesn't have anything to do
with what's really behind procrastination.
Remember, the basis of procrastination could be fear of failure. That's what perfectionism really is, once you take a
hard look at it. What's the difference whether you're afraid of being less than perfect or afraid of anything else? You're
still paralyzed by fear. What's the difference whether you never start or never finish? You're still stuck. You're still
going nowhere. You're still overwhelmed by whatever task is before you. You're still allowing yourself to be dominated by a negative vision of the future in which you see yourself being criticized, laughed at, punished, or ridden out of town
on a rail. Of course, this negative vision of the future is really a mechanism that allows you to do nothing. It's a very
convenient mental tool.
I'm going to tell you how to overcome procrastination. I'm going to show you how to turn procrastination into
perseverance, and if you do what I suggest, the process will be virtually painless. It involves using two very powerful
principles that foster productivity and perseverance instead of passivity and procrastination.
The first principle is: break it down.
No matter what you're trying to accomplish, whether it's writing a book, climbing a mountain, or painting a house the
key to achievement is your ability to break down the task into manageable pieces and knock them off one at one time. Focus on accomplishing what's right in front of you at this moment. Ignore what's off in the distance someplace. Substitute real-time positive thinking for negative future visualization. That's the first all- important technique for bringing an end to procrastination.
Suppose I were to ask you if you could write a four hundred-page novel. If you're like most people, that would sound like an impossible task. But suppose I ask you a different question. Suppose I ask if you can write a page and a quarter a day for one year. Do you think you could do it? Now the task is starting to seem more manageable. We're breaking down the four-hundred-page book into bite-size pieces. Even so, I suspect many people would still find the prospect intimidating. Do you know why? Writing a page and a quarter may not seem so bad, but you're being asked to look ahead one whole year. When people start to do look that far ahead, many of them automatically go into a negative mode. So let me formulate the idea of writing a book in yet another way. Let me break it down even more.
Suppose I was to ask you: can you fill up a page and a quarter with words-not for a year, not for a month, not even for a
week, but just today? Don't look any further ahead than that. I believe most people would confidently declare that they
could accomplish that. Of course, these would be the same people who feel totally incapable of writing a whole book.
If I said the same thing to those people tomorrow - if I told them, I don't want you to look back, and I don't want you to
look ahead, I just want you to fill up a page and a quarter this very day - do you think they could do it?
One day at a time. We've all heard that phrase. That's what we're doing here. We're breaking down the time required for a
major task into one-day segments, and we're breaking down the work involved in writing a four hundred-page book into
page-and-a-quarter increments. Keep this up for one year, and you'll write the book. Discipline yourself to look neither forward nor backward, and you can accomplish things you never thought you could possibly do. And it all begins with those three words: break it down.
My second technique for defeating procrastination is also only three words long. The three words are: write it down. We know how important writing is to goal setting. The writing you'll do for beating procrastination is very similar. Instead of
focusing on the future, however, you're now going to be writing about the present just as you experience it every day.
Instead of describing the things you want to do or the places you want to go, you're going to describe what you actually do with your time, and you're going to keep a written record of the places you actually go.
In other words, you're going to keep a diary of your activities. And you're going to be amazed by the distractions, detours, and downright wastes of time you engage in during the course of a day. All of these get in the way of
achieving your goals. For many people, it's almost like they planned it that way, and maybe at some unconscious level they did. The great thing about keeping a time diary is that it brings all this out in the open. It forces you to see what
you're actually doing . . . and what you're not doing.
The time diary doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Just buy a little spiral notebook that you can easily carry in your
pocket. When you go to lunch, when you drive across town, when you go to the dry cleaners, when you spend some time shooting the breeze at the copying machine, make a quick note of the time you began the activity and the time it ends. Try to make this notation as soon as possible; if it's inconvenient to do it immediately, you can do it later. But you should make an entry in your time diary at least once every thirty minutes, and you should keep this up for at least a week.
Break it down. Write it down. These two techniques are very straightforward. But don't let that fool you: these are
powerful and effective productivity techniques. This is how you put an end to procrastination. This is how you get
yourself started.
To Your Success,
Jim Rohn
