Nelson takes the stage December 10, 2008 to present Leaders Growing Leaders, a program designed to help construction business owners take the leadership steps necessary for their company to sustain itself during challenging times and flourish during times of rapid growth. Leaders Growing Leaders Growth in many companies over the past several years has happened at a very fast rate, requiring teams to grow at the same if not faster rate. When we grow at this pace much of our team's training consists of being thrown into the fire and doing what they are told to do, when they are told to do it. However, in more challenging times, we can't afford to rely on having our company's direction, motivation, and profitability be sustained by a team of followers. We need teams of leaders and this program will help construction business owners grow their teams into the leaders they are capable of being. "Surviving and thriving in tough market conditions is about creating and utilizing an unstoppable team within your construction business and the companies you do business with," Nelson explains. "The combined efforts and common goals of everyone involved are what will propel you further than you ever dreamed possible on your own." A former nail belt-wearing contractor himself, Clay S. Nelson has spent the past two decades coaching clients in the construction and remodeling industries. Nelson draws from his own past business and life experiences to present solutions to the work-life issues that construction business owners deal with every day. Nelson has been a guest speaker at many national construction events and conferences, including International Pool Spa Patio Expo 2008, StonExpo 2008 and Remodeling Show 2008, and is scheduled to present at the International Roofing Expo 2009 this February in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nelson's presentations and workshops on business and life balance concepts give conference attendees the insights, encouragement, and straightforward tools they need to get the most out of their conference experience and keep the momentum going once they've returned to the jobsite. Clay Nelson founded his company, Clay Nelson Life Balance, out of his own life philosophy: To teach what one has learned in life is the greatest gift one has to give.

Taking the Struggle Out of this Balancing Act Finding a balance between business and personal life is one of the greatest challenges we face. What if we could have time to actually have a life and successfully manage our construction businesses in good times and bad? The answer to creating this balance is through the integration of four key issues--Taking Care of You (Balance), Commitment, Team and Leadership--into all aspects of our lives and businesses. Because I Told You So - Communication at the Jobsite Anyone who has worked in the field on a jobsite for any length of time knows that communication is very often a challenge; communication between the field and the main office; communication from primary leadership to superintendent to the field crew. Yet the key to complete success with every job, whether big or small, is full and complete communication everywhere and at all times! During this program Nelson will break down the issues that get in the way of complete communication at the jobsite and provide easy to implement solutions that have successfully helped remodeling and home building companies get on the road to great communication while on the job. Team Building: Don't Just Survive… Thrive! When times are tough, more often than not, we retreat into the feeling of "Only I Can Do It". Yet, if any of us could get to where we are going without a team, we would be there already. Making it through rough market conditions isn't about tightening our grip and controlling everything within grasp. As a matter of fact, not just surviving, but thriving in tough market conditions is about creating and utilizing an unstoppable team whose common goals and combined efforts propel us further than was ever possible on our own. Replacing the Irreplaceable You "Replace me? Impossible!" It often feels that way, but the only way we gain the freedom to grow or maintain our businesses, to retire or to have a life is to replace ourselves! Learn how to give up doing it all, build a team of leaders, and successfully move on to what's next. "Succeeding during the tough times, and being ready to hit the ground running when the construction market rebounds is all about developing a positive, fresh mindset," Nelson explains. "A mindset that comes through taking the time to take care of yourself--that is, having a personal life--and by putting the proper systems and teams in place at the office and on the jobsite."

Getting Back to Leadership Basics In today's challenging times, companies can't afford to have their leaders, those responsible for sustaining the company's direction, motivation, and profitability, be anything but the leaders they are paid to be. This program will help leaders get centered and in touch with who they are as leaders, what their jobs as leaders really are, and how they, as leaders, can grow their team members into powerful leaders and build a team that has great success. "As a leader, it's your job to build a powerful team of unstoppable people, who are capable of carrying out the vision you create for the company," Nelson explains. "If you're constantly in a reactionary mode, putting out fires and barking orders, you're just creating a culture of followers.

Nelson and learn the roles delegation, communication and accountability play in running a successful contracting and remodeling business. [PRWeb Nov 20, 2007] http://www.prweb.com/releases/management/delegation/prweb569806.htm Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:23:35 -0800 podcrew@extrahoop.com Effective Delegation Through Team Management, a program designed to teach construction business owners the tools necessary for running a successful business. "Effective delegation goes far beyond handing a task over to someone and walking away," Nelson explains. "It requires full and complete communication, accountability, and a commitment to growing your company, your team, and even yourself. It requires the entire team to understand the role they play in the big picture; how you manage your team, the systems you have in place, and the way you lead are critical to each and every step you take along the way." Effective Delegation Through Team Management goes beyond a 1-2-3 approach to delegation and takes a look at not only how to delegate, but other tools business owners can put in place to assure the team's understanding of the role they play in the overall success of the company. • Full and Complete Communication Many times on the job site, a missed deadline or a costly mistake can be attributed to incomplete communication or a lack thereof. If team members don't understand the specifics of the task at hand, and foremen don't know how to communicate effectively with them, efficiency, and ultimately, customer satisfaction are sacrificed. • Accountability Accountability is a powerful tool that can help take the guesswork out of what is expected from whom and by when. Setting and tracking goals is part of accountability, and when paired with the simple but often overlooked concept of asking for the help one needs to achieve those goals, great things can be accomplished. • Commitment Words are the easy part of commitment. The more difficult, and most important part of commitment are the actions that take place following those words. Delegating Through Effective Team Management includes a discussion of the tools and techniques necessary to ensure that commitments are kept every time.

"Effective delegation goes far beyond handing a task over to someone and walking away," Nelson explains. "It requires full and complete communication, accountability, and a commitment to growing your company, your team, and even yourself. It requires the entire team to understand the role they play in the big picture; how you manage your team, the systems you have in place, and the way you lead are critical to each and every step you take along the way." Effective Delegation Through Team Management goes beyond a 1-2-3 approach to delegation and takes a look at not only how to delegate, but other tools business owners can put in place to assure the team's understanding of the role they play in the overall success of the company. • Full and Complete Communication Many times on the job site, a missed deadline or a costly mistake can be attributed to incomplete communication or a lack thereof. If team members don't understand the specifics of the task at hand, and foremen don't know how to communicate effectively with them, efficiency, and ultimately, customer satisfaction are sacrificed. • Accountability Accountability is a powerful tool that can help take the guesswork out of what is expected from whom and by when. Setting and tracking goals is part of accountability, and when paired with the simple but often overlooked concept of asking for the help one needs to achieve those goals, great things can be accomplished. • Commitment Words are the easy part of commitment. The more difficult, and most important part of commitment are the actions that take place following those words. Delegating Through Effective Team Management includes a discussion of the tools and techniques necessary to ensure that commitments are kept every time.

Whether it is our parents and siblings or our "family" made up of friends, we all want to feel "related" to another human being, and the tug is so strong that we'll create "family" with the wrong types of people just to fulfill our need to belong. This program is about how to strengthen our family bonds with communication and will provide tips on how to get the children in our lives talking and how to open their hearts up to listening too! • Giving Up Worry Worry is something that most people do really well, but there is a difference between someone who worries and allows that worry to stop them and those who worry, but continue to move forward no matter what. (In other words, they are unstoppable.) They give up their worry and instead focus on what they can do in a situation, instead of what they can't! This program breaks down why we worry, how to give up worry, and choosing to take on life as fun, instead of hard and worry filled! • Dealing with Change Change is inevitable. It comes at us and the only thing we can do is choose to dance inside of that change, or not. Meaning, "you are the only person who has a say in how your life turns out." This program breaks down how to deal with change and even how to use it to our advantage! • Asking for What You Want Many people avoid asking for what they want because they don't want to appear selfish or self-centered. Yet, how many people can do everything there is to do, gather everything they need themselves and operate 100% on their own? They can't, and this program will help us to regain our courage to ask for what we want and what we need! Other recent shows include dealing with fear and learning to not be stopped by it, handling integrity issues, and pushing boredom aside to regain a zest for life.

Without a written, up-to-date marketing plan, a company will waste valuable time and resources struggling to find the answers to key areas of business intelligence such as knowing where one stands with the competition, what makes their products and services popular with customers, and trying to figure out why they sometimes fall short. • It doesn't matter how good a company's product or service is. If people do not know it exists, how can they be expected to purchase it? • A marketing plan is not just a look at where and how to advertise and what to spend advertising. A good marketing plan will examine target markets, size up the competition, highlight strengths and weaknesses, and perhaps most importantly define what exactly it is that the company produces or provides, and what it wants to get from marketing. • Without a written marketing plan, a company and its team will be lacking guidance in nearly every aspect of running a business, from managing cash flow to research and development to production. The good news is, when it gets right down to it, marketing a product or service is really a common sense venture brought together with creativity, ingenuity, and fun.

"This is your marketing plan, after all--a plan that, when complete, will provide you and your team the direction it needs to get what you want from your marketing efforts.

Recent episodes of the show now available as both audio and video downloads include: Time Management -- Every second that goes by, is a second we can't ever get back. So how do you spend your time? Do you spend it wisely? Do you make every second count or do you find yourself wasting the time you do have wishing you had more time? The fact is the faster our worlds go, the faster our time goes, and when you literally have the world at your fingertips it is tough to feel like the only thing in our way is the clock! Now, since the clock isn't going away, how can we best manage the time we have? That is what this program is all about. Family: You Can't Live With 'Em, Can't Live Without 'Em -- Family, for the great majority of us, is at the core of all we do, but at the same time have you ever noticed how much time we spend avoiding our families? The truth is, no matter how much we love our families we don't always want to be with them and sometimes we don't even like them. So how do we handle it? How do we get past all of the things that make us crazy and back to how important all of our family members are to us? That is what this program is about. Healthy Living -- In order to live a life you love, you have to have a body that will allow you to live it. You must take care of your physical well-being. Yet, physical fitness is something we hear about so much that many of us have tuned it out. So this program is all about taking the dread out of this topic, having fun, and helping our listeners not only get motivated to take better care of their physical well-being but provides tips for helping them do so.

Thousands of downloads later, the company is pleased to announce the release of an expanded Second Edition, updating the original collection of articles to address two popular life balance topics: Building Excitement for Living Part of giving up complacency and creating enthusiasm for life is recognizing that 80% of your life is working really great -- it's just the other 20% that needs improvement. After all, only you have a say in how your life turns out, and learning to live life from the 80% -- even just one small step at a time -- will eventually make building excitement for living second nature. Overcoming Workaholic Ways Often we are so conditioned to the idea of work-work-work that anything short of working creates anxieties and a sense of failure. But the costs of being a workaholic run very high--often coming at the expense of physical health, strained or failed relationships, even failure of the business itself! This article sheds new light on recognizing the workaholic cycle, and the good news that the workaholic cycle can be broken with a few key steps. "We released the original edition of The Balanced Life with the hope of enriching peoples' lives," Nelson explains, "and the response we've gotten has been phenomenal. The concepts behind life balance have resonated with so many of our readers. It's my hope that with the new articles included in the Second Edition, we'll continue that work." "Let's face it -- if you've been even moderately successful in business, at some point somebody in your life has probably hinted that you might be focusing a little too much on the company and not taking the time to take care of yourself and spend time with your family." Nelson continues, "Sound familiar? But the first steps towards life-altering change may not always seem so clear, and many times the fear of actually getting what we want can be the biggest obstacle in our way!

Although these leaders may achieve a certain level of success for their businesses, often times this success comes at the cost of losing out in other areas of their lives.

A written business plan: • Helps you discover what you know and don't know about your competition--and your own company's strengths and weaknesses within your market. • Guides company management as they make decisions that shape short-term and long-term business strategies. • Defines the responsibilities of each team member in the company, and provides the basis for accountability in handling those responsibilities for the benefit of the company. • Provides at-a-glance assessments of a company's financial position, cash flow and overhead costs. • Creates benchmarks for measuring progress towards goals and objectives, and shows you when you've gotten there. Company founder Clay S. Nelson explains further, "Without a written plan, it is very easy for your circumstances to own you and wear you out -- it will happen long before you even realize it. And in the meantime, your team won't know what they're supposed to be doing, you'll risk losing focus on what you want for your company, and most important of all, you won't have the time to take care of yourself and your family." The Business Planning Workbook also includes a discussion on what Nelson cites as a common excuse for not having and using a written business plan: it's no fun! "Respectfully, the fact of the matter is that business planning is only as fun as YOU choose to make it." Nelson continues, "Why not approach writing your plan from the perspective that you are not just creating the means to maintain the status quo, but designing an outrageous future for your company and your team? After all, the first step towards reaching the successes that you say you want, is being able to articulate them in writing." Nelson is known nationally as a business and life coach, motivational speaker and workshop leader. He founded Clay Nelson Life Balance out of what he saw was a greater need: helping people and companies fulfill their potential, maximize profits and most importantly, make themselves and their families happier. The Business Planning Workbook is available for ordering at the company's web site as a printed and bound edition, as well as an Acrobat PDF download.

Beyond Success - No matter how comfortable we are in life, in our relationships, spiritually, financially… no matter what we achieve… no matter where we've come from, there is still a nagging question of "What's next and how do I get there?" This program takes a look at what keeps us from stepping out of the status quo and reaching our greatest potential… how to break through your fears and get what you say you want. Other past shows include handling disappointment, standing up for what you believe in, and how creating and living by a personal plan can help keep you energized, healthy and happy.

"I founded Consulting Services Network and Clay Nelson Life Balance out of my own life experiences and what I saw was a much greater need," Nelson explains, "to show people that they can have and enjoy the life they say they want for themselves -- that they can make themselves and their families happier, empower those that they work with and achieve the successes they once thought could only be dreamt about." "I spent fourteen years in the construction business, and one of the most important lessons that I learned from that period in my life was that the work-work-work mentality that has been handed down from generation to generation is no longer serving us. Life is not about working ourselves until we're worn out, hunched over and broken, and too tired at the end of the work day to spend quality time with those we love. Life is about living with purpose, making the time to keep your batteries charged, articulating what it is you want for yourself, and building a powerful team around you to help you get it.

Nelson believes that individuals of all professions and levels of success can excel with the inclusion of coaching in their lives, and continues to evolve the company's innovative personal and business coaching services to include one-on-one telephone coaching, individual and corporate coaching retreats custom-tailored to the needs and objectives of the client, and two-day planning workshops held in Santa Barbara, California.

Nelson explains. "It's easy to complain, but when it comes down to it, it's really not much harder to choose to create an outrageous life for yourself and those around you -- family and co-workers. The Personal Planning Workshop gives you the tools you need to create the life you really want!" The intensive two-day workshop was created out of Clay Nelson's own life experiences in over three decades of corporate leadership. Participants will focus on three specific areas as they learn that it is perfectly alright to enjoy themselves and take the time to keep their batteries charged on the way to their successes in life and business: • Discovering your purpose. Most of us have a purpose that is way bigger than what we have been able to accomplish thus far -- and we haven't been able to articulate it for ourselves. In the workshop we will help you discover what your purpose is and how to live by it. • Developing a personal plan. Many of us focus on taking care of others before we take care of ourselves. In the workshop, we help you develop and embrace a Personal Plan for you to live out of by asking questions like, "What recharges you? What gets you pumped up, excited, and motivated? What gives joy to your life?" By creating a plan and following it, you become more powerful, energized, and unstoppable and can now take on your responsibilities with just as much power, energy, and drive. • Creating a team. This isn't just the people that work for or around you; this team is comprised of powerful individuals committed to living by their purpose and personal plan and who are also committed to helping you do the same. "I've never had a Personal Planning Workshop participant leave on Sunday who can honestly say they haven't learned the path to finding their true self. And as a workshop leader, that is the ultimate reward, knowing that I've touched someone and helped them recognize the power they have to reach beyond their circumstances." Nelson said. Clay Nelson created the Personal Planning Workshop out of what he saw as a greater need -- helping individuals and businesses grow to their fullest potential, while at the same time taking care of themselves and making their families and clients happier. He discovered long ago that success cannot be measured just by what is accomplished in the end, but also by how powerful one chooses to live while creating that success.

The costs for getting there without a plan can be enormous, both on a business and a personal level." Nelson observes.

"How can you have fun, if you are tired all of the time?," asks Clay Nelson. "How can you have quality time and connections with your family when you are dozing in front of the television by 7:00 PM each night? How can you create and or sustain financial freedom when you are consistently running on your very last speck of energy?

"Envision for a moment your body as a capsule responsible for all of the energy, focus, and determination you need to meet your commitments, to get what you say you want, and to have fun doing it," says Nelson. "Now, imagine that same capsule dented up, slowly running out of fuel, and in need of a good waxing! How far do you think the worn down capsule will take you?" Nelson tells people that in order for them to live a life that they love, they must have a body that will allow them to live it.
