Before working with Coach Ruben, my major challenges had been consistency and accountability to myself and others along with communication within the team and the office. I was more interested in improving my communication and systems than my volume at the time because once the communication is spot-on the volume comes naturally for me.

I chose to work with Ruben because I felt he understood the APMC business model. I could work with him and not have to reinvent the wheel. We could work with the tools that were already provided by APMC. Ruben works with the whole person; how you do one thing in your life is how you do everything. It is impossible to just have a business coach without addressing the things that are not working in your personal life.

I believe the Elite weekly coaching program is great for me. He holds me accountable. Even when I have not completed the assigned task, he helps me notice patterns in myself that I can work on. He has also been very willing to work with other members of my staff to improve our communication and give me insights on how to be a better leader.

Some of my changes… I am consistently working on better communication and learning to appreciate my employees more. It is often the small stuff. Learning about time blocking has been huge for me.

I often know what I should be doing to improve my business, yet, the distance between knowing and action can seem huge without a coach!

Some of the most important results…
My theme for 2016 is Rhythm!
I have a positive work environment! Q1 we are focusing on culture! We have started an office book club every 2 weeks. I bring our staff together and we are all learning about one another. This increases the level of compassion for one another.

I am appreciative and level headed…  I sometimes will get hot about something. Before I let off steam I can reach out to Ruben and get a different perspective.

I am having daily team meetings, weekly manager meetings for operations and marketing, monthly sales meetings and operations meetings.

I now have sales meetings which are far from perfect but are improving…  

My recommendation to others who might be considering coaching with Ruben?  JUST DO IT!

Before I started working with Coach Ruben, I was in a quandary and I wanted to either commit to my business or make the decision to change.  I had one foot in and one foot out and I was not being focused. I chose to work with Coach Ruben after I heard him speak at one of our corporate summit meetings.  I really enjoyed what he had to say and felt that with his positive attitude, good information and expertise, he would be able to get me back on track. What Coach Ruben did for me was to help me realize that I just needed to get focused again.  Some of his tools really helped me to focus, along with discussions to make some important decisions.  Having someone to be accountable to is the key!  Sometimes we just need a nudge to get going when we fall off the track. Having made the decision to be back on track and take my business to the next level was really what I needed.  I have since been focused on doing the things I need to do.  I knew how, just needed a little help, which he provided. As a result of working with Coach Ruben, I made some decisions in my business that not only has made my job more rewarding, but I have been able to stay focused and increase my loan closings.  I also have tried to focus on good habits, but realize I don’t need to be perfect and that it all is a process.

Before I started working with Coach Ruben, my main issues were disorganization, lack of prioritizing, poor time scheduling, and lack of self-confidence. I had spoken with other coaches and even tried to work with some.  With Coach Ruben, during our first consultation I felt a level of comfort, trust, and confidence in him that I felt he could really help me, bring out the best in me.  For so many years now, I have felt that there is this ‘better person’ inside of me that is waiting to surface and I believe Coach Ruben knows how to make that happen. Some of the most important things I have learned are that patterns really are changeable.  I am on a journey; I am a work in progress; I WILL make mistakes and fall off track, but as long as I ‘stay the course’ and implement his teachings, improvements will be both experienced and recognized. Some of my new goals and actions include reprioritizing my ‘to-do list’ into an MIT list – Most Important Task list.  I still have a list of things to accomplish, but I only put three MIT’s on my calendar per day to truly focus and work on. Reading! I don’t think I’ve read one book in the previous 5 years, yet since starting coaching, I’ve read 3 short books and am ½ way through a ‘normal’ book.  All of these are self-help / professionally based and make true, logical sense in a day-to-day practical manner. Exercise – I now exercise more times per week than I have in many years.  I still have a long way to go! As a result of just a couple of changes in my morning routine, my clothes actually fit better and I feel better about the way I look. I am more organized, focused and productive. I am building my courage and my confidence daily!
