Has anyone hired an executive coach? I’ve been thinking about it more and more maybe a gift to myself. What’s been your experience? How often do you meet?

I have a performance coach that I see bi-weekly… it’s different than a personal therapist… one helps you figure your personal s*it out, one helps you feel like an unstoppable self propelling force of nature…

Which one? Tony Robbins? Short term, yes… but eventually the effects faded and you go back to business as usual, with some modifications that held long-term… at least for me…

Individual coach? Absolutely… even when I have a bad week or a bad two weeks, he stops me dead in my tracks and forces me to reset and reorient to what we know has worked, and then we pivot to how those situations could have been overcome… then we focus on success and gratitude in general and how we use past success to propel us forward…

One thing that he’s taught me, that I carry with me and I use with my team all the time… what we have done so far to get to this point, the successes that we’ve had, is an indication that what we are doing and have done works… we can have a bad week, bad month or a bad quarter… but it’s up to you to determine how long you let the bad take hold of you… but having a bad year is a choice and for the most part inexcusable… now get out there and do what you know works, and has worked…

Yes go for it. It will help guide you and keep you wanting to know and learn more. I know a guy who is a regional president who is a wonderful colleague who said he had an executive coach. Maybe not necessarily hire one unless you can truly afford it (I have no idea how much they charge). But nonetheless your employer probably has mentor groups you could join and get 1 on 1 assistance

They have a mentorship program, I think it was $6k. I’m going to look now.

You know, it's funny, I actually thought about it, and then my mentor was like, "Why not just go to a therapist?" and that really hit home with me. At least with therapists, there's some sort of universal industry standard and accreditation process unlike executive coaches, who basically don't even need any credentials.

I like the idea of my insurance paying for it lol

If you’re hoping to find a housing deal, you’re out of luck in the short term.
Maybe if you can deal with the higher payments for the next 3 years and sell/refinance above today’s prices you’ll be ok, but this isn’t going to be pretty.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

What would your reaction be if the company you applied to asked for you to get permission from your current firm before moving forward? The situation is the company you're applying to is a client of your current firm, and you've already gone through the interview process with the new company. Thoughts?
