Hiring Myself as my own Coach

I spent time on the telphone with Rick Schefrin yesterday, interviewing him for my upcoming e-book series and as research for my next tool box for the Virtual Entrepreneur. As we chatted and explored, I realized how much I have to learn from him! He does for virtual entrepreneurs what I do for my virtual and F2F business clients. Yet I found myself wanting to hire him to help me! I realize I’m the cobbler with barefoot kids running around. I realize that I’m working much harder than I need to. I realize that if I were my own coach, I would be running my business much differently.

So…. I’m hiring myself as my own coach, and will be keeping myself – and you – posted on how that goes! Anyone want to do the same in solidarity? Let me know; I’d love to keep ourselves honest to the commitment together!

Welcome to Strategic Ground

Okay, so the NOT morning girl (Who has been successfully self-employed without rising early for 25+
years, despite Ben Franklin and Steve Covey’s advice, awoke at 7 am today and decided that yes, today is the day to begin Strategic Ground.
I invite you to wander with me as I share my idea of wisdom, frustrations, questionings, business solutions, philosophy and good links. I will explore this process organically, open to the possibilities.
In an executive world I respectfully stifle my multidimensional musings and mixed metaphors.
Here is my outlet to wander as I do, purposefully focused on bringing spirit.ideas.strategy to ground.manifestation.guerilla tactics.
Warning: If you like bullet points, stick with GroupONE Solutions web site at www.grouponesolutions.com. This is going to be Trina Untethered – focused but free to write MY way, welcoming only those of you who enjoy internal dialogue as I do. I may wax poetic, write elegant but compound-complex sentences, open-ended musings.

I’m a busy multi-business entrepreneur (art gallery, business consultant, published author and expert in virtual teams and virtual work, and part-managing investor in a pet supply store and the comedic BOBlog, life from the perspective of Bob Fosse, the Beagle).

So…. I don’t know how much or how often I’ll stop by here. Maybe often as a sanity break. Maybe seldom as I don’t always practice what I preach (Like taking the time to be quiet, reflect, and be strategically focused from a birds-eye view of your life). We’ll see.

And now my work day begins…. A cup of coffee and a few minutes with Fast Company is my luxury this morning before jumping into high gear.
