Nelson will give remodeling and home building professionals access to a powerful set of tools for improving work-life balance, jobsite communication, and succeeding during tough times as he presents four new programs at the upcoming Remodeling Show 2008 trade show and conference in Baltimore, Maryland, on September 10-11, 2008. [PRWeb Sep 8, 2008] http://www.prweb.com/releases/construction/businesscoach/prweb1256074.htm Thu, 04 Sep 2008 17:36:39 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com construction business and life coach Clay S. Nelson takes the stage on September 10th and 11th, 2008. Nelson is scheduled to present four new programs designed to help remodeling and home building professionals not just survive, but thrive in tough market conditions. Your Business. Your Life. 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. A company of followers will never grow--to grow your company, you need to grow your team!" Accountability = Success Accountability = Success shows the power accountability has to create fun, excitement, and take the guess work out of what is expected from whom and by when! • Discover the tools needed to set and track goals • Learn how to ask for help and communicate effectively • Make accountability a part of the company's toolbox for success "Accountability is an invaluable tool for all aspects of running a business," Nelson says, "from having a great home life, to running a productive office, to maintaining an efficient environment at the jobsite and all points in between. Management needs to know how to ask for help so they don't wear themselves out trying to do everything themselves, and the team needs to know how to communicate what they need so that everyone is clear on what needs to be done to complete projects on time, on budget, and to keep the customer happy." Mr. Nelson spent 14 years as a contractor and has been coaching clients in the construction and remodeling industry for the past two decades.

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.

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!

Nelson, having spent 14 years as a contractor himself, understands the fast-paced nature of the custom home building business, and has developed the program Implement What You Learn, Teach What You Know to teach business owners and their crews how to maximize the value of their trade show experiences and keep the momentum going when it's time to go home and put their tool belts back on. Nelson is presenting Implement What You Learn, Teach What You Know at the upcoming National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Custom Builder Symposium in Naples, Florida on October 27, 2007. "We may leave a conference very enthusiastic and looking forward to shaking things up at work on Monday morning," Nelson explains, "but how easily do we get stopped by life's circumstances on the way home, or the overwhelm of something that may have happened on the job site while we were away at the conference, ironically, with the intention to learn new things and make business connections that would benefit the business?" "When we allow ourselves to be stopped without a plan, without a clear commitment and without a team to help us achieve our vision for the company, guess what just happened to the investment of time and money we just made into attending the conference? It's been completely wasted." Implement What You Learn, Teach What You Know focuses on several key points: • Leaving the conference with a written plan in hand • Being committed to doing what the plan says • Communicating and teaching the plan to others • Being your word and asking for help • Teaching others, rather than just telling "As the boss, it's your job to create the vision for the company, and give your team the power to get there." Nelson continues, "Give them a plan that guides them, teach them what you've learned so they can teach others. You cannot micromanage every detail and handle every contingency by yourself." 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. The company's innovative programs teach individuals and businesses how to set goals, get past what stops them from accomplishing them, and create written plans that help them attain extraordinary results.

Nelson, having spent 14 years as a contractor himself, understands the fast-paced nature of the custom home building business, and has developed the program Implement What You Learn, Teach What You Know to teach business owners and their crews how to maximize the value of their trade show experiences and keep the momentum going when it's time to go home and put their tool belts back on. Nelson is presenting Implement What You Learn, Teach What You Know at the upcoming National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Custom Builder Symposium in Naples, Florida on October 27, 2007. "We may leave a conference very enthusiastic and looking forward to shaking things up at work on Monday morning," Nelson explains, "but how easily do we get stopped by life's circumstances on the way home, or the overwhelm of something that may have happened on the job site while we were away at the conference, ironically, with the intention to learn new things and make business connections that would benefit the business?" "When we allow ourselves to be stopped without a plan, without a clear commitment and without a team to help us achieve our vision for the company, guess what just happened to the investment of time and money we just made into attending the conference? It's been completely wasted." Implement What You Learn, Teach What You Know focuses on several key points: • Leaving the conference with a written plan in hand • Being committed to doing what the plan says • Communicating and teaching the plan to others • Being your word and asking for help • Teaching others, rather than just telling "As the boss, it's your job to create the vision for the company, and give your team the power to get there." Nelson continues, "Give them a plan that guides them, teach them what you've learned so they can teach others. You cannot micromanage every detail and handle every contingency by yourself." 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. The company's innovative programs teach individuals and businesses how to set goals, get past what stops them from accomplishing them, and create written plans that help them attain extraordinary results. Nelson has been a featured speaker at many national education events and conferences, including The International Builders Show, and The Remodeling Show, and is an upcoming contributor to Custom Home Magazine. Every year, he presents his concepts in business planning and life planning nationwide to eager participants at workshops and conventions of all sizes, as well as to listeners of his weekly KZSB AM 1290 Santa Barbara News-Press radio station talk show.

What are the costs of not having a marketing plan? 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. "There is no better way to get your creative juices flowing than to have fun using your imagination when writing your marketing plan," business coach Clay Nelson explains. "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. "Taking on a 'life is hard' approach to marketing is no way to gain support from your team. Don't be staring down a dark tunnel when it comes to designing your company's future--think BIG, and have fun doing it!" Nelson is often asked by his coaching clients to assist them as they examine what are traditionally known as the Four P's of Marketing: Product, Price, Place and Promotion.

"The MP3 archives of my radio show have been downloaded thousands of times, and it's encouraging to hear that so many of my listeners have shared them with friends and family. Now they can share the videos, too!" Nelson continues, "The shows are a great reminder that the only person on this planet who has a say in how your life turns out is you, so the next time life's circumstances get in your way -- tune in and get back on track!"

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.

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. [PRWeb May 7, 2007] http://www.prweb.com/releases/businessmanagement/businessplanning/prweb524481.htm Thu, 10 May 2007 16:36:30 -0700 podcrew@extrahoop.com Business Planning Workbook -- Getting What You Say You Want is designed to help business owners get past the misconceptions and procrastinations that often get in the way of writing a business plan and move forward in creating a powerful document that will provide focus when the direction ahead may not seem so clear. 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. Two companion volumes are also available: The Marketing Workbook, which helps the reader develop a marketing plan to reach objectives outlined in their business plan, and the Accountability Workbook, which provides powerful tools that business owners can use to produce outstanding results in both their business and personal lives.
