Dear Russ:
I want to send you this letter to thank-you for the tremendous amount of heart-burn you gave me after attending your BA 101 seminar in November of last year. I walked out that two-day seminar feeling quite ill about where my business was that moment and more importantly, where my business was headed if I continued down the same road. I discovered that my business was headed into the on-coming headlights of a disaster from the information you shared with us. I want to thank you for that moment and the ensuing pain that seminar has caused me these past few months.
In the 12+ years I have been in business I have been to a great many “business seminars” and have spent untold dollars on fancy programs and techniques that never really produced any of the results I had hoped for. I went to this seminar really expecting the same but your guarantee was the thing that got me to attend. I had nothing to loose!
During the seminar you presented a “simple”, no nonsense, reality based approach to grabbing a hold of my business step by step that let’s me work on my “business” instead of it just providing me and my team a job! For that I am grateful! I am finally starting to have a life!
Many of the topics that were discussed are now starting to see the light of day and I now have a renewed enthusiasm for my business. The best part is that since we have started doing just the basics you taught us I have seen a dramatic change in my business growth and in my associates.
The quality and quantity of the lecture, handouts and the books you provided us with far exceeded my expectations and more then doubled my return on investment of dollars and time. If you ever meet a business owner that is hesitant about coming to one of your seminars, have them call me personally and I’ll tell them myself that they need to attend.
Russ, once again, I appreciate the heart-burn, pain, and your persistence in getting me to the BA 101 seminar. I am looking forward to attending more of your seminars and engaging you as a coach at some point soon.
Sincerely,

I would like to commend Russ for helping guide me through some changes in my business and to reclaim time for my life!
As an independent financial advisor, I have been operating my on business for over 20 years, and have built a loyal base of clients. The challenge was that my business was beginning to change and grow. I was beginning to struggle with the workload and it was becoming apparent that I could no longer run my business as I had in the past.
Russ began working with me and I found that it was truly a “coaching” situation. He spent time finding out what my priorities were not only with regard to my business, but my personal life as well. In the end, the process enabled us to figure out what worked, what needed changing, and start the steps necessary to make the changes.
The results are that Russ brought clarity into my life and business. While I had been successful in growing my business in the past, it had been an intuitive process based on my sales skills. Now I have defined what type of clients I want, and how to attract and keep them with consistency.
Russ always made the coaching process convenient for me, especially in the beginning, when I had the desire, but no spare time to be coached. While it was sometimes difficult, the process insured that things got done and moved forward. Russ kept me accountable and on task. I can honestly say that I grew and learned a great deal from the experience.
I’ve got two words of advice for someone considering coaching…ACT NOW! Like a lot of small business owners, I knew my “product” – advising my clients regarding financial matters and setting priorities in their lives, but I needed assistance in getting a handle on the “big picture” and on running my growing business. Russ helped me do that!

Russ,
What took Action International so long to get setup in Atlanta? There is a tremendous need for this program here. Since I have been in the Group Coaching Program, my business has skyrocketed along with my confidence. Everybody wants to know what I am doing differently in my business
I really don’t tell people I have a business coach because they won’t understand why. Many people think it’s too expensive to hire a coach or they don’t need one. So, why should I try to prove them wrong? They trash they carry in their heads has no impact on me.
So, I plan to be involved in the personal coaching program next year. With Action International, I will be retired in ten years. I just turned 33 last Sunday. I love my life!

Russ Hall is an outstanding coach that delivers the highest of business knowledge, weaved with personal integrity, and genuine sincerity.
When I first began coaching with Russ I felt like I had a good grasp of the business world and how to apply that knowledge to my Chiropractics practice…But after dueling with Russ several times about the ways to improve my quality, decrease my stress, while increasing my profitability, he had me thoroughly convinced that I COULD do everything that he outlined.
As a business owner, many days would arrive where I was unsure of the decisions I was making and about how the future was shaping up, and Russ would calmly review the plan, remind me that that is where we were supposed to be at this step, and give me the gentle nudge I needed to keep moving forward towards success.
I have coached with several people before and by far Russ has been the best. He has an uncanny ability to “read” a person (me), adapt to their communication block, and proceed to get the conversation to move to where it needs to go to progress the business. I feel he always keeps my business goals in mind and truly has my best interest at heart.
An outstanding asset Russ has is his vast experience in the SUCCESSFUL business world. The coaching industry is riddled with those that can tell you what to do but have never experienced true success for themselves but Russ has been involved with one success after another which has been extremely beneficial to my coaching. When I present to him almost any combination of problems from my business, he is able to link it to my goals and find a similar situation from his past business experience and lead it toward the solution. Very powerful business resource.
His discipline in allowing me to make my own decisions and own mistakes so that I may gain from the experiences as I develop my business mind.
Finally, what I am continually impressed with is his ability to keep MY interest in the forefront. He wants to help you go where YOU want to go, not where HE wants you to go.
The Action system is an awesome coaching system that teaches many, many aspect of the business.
