Rob Clinton is a Career Coach in Atlanta, GA. Rob goes far beyond careers and helps people fit their careers into their lives.

Rob’s been in business for just over a year and seems to be everywhere.  He was laid off in the banking industry and then found another a few weeks later.  Not too long after that he was laid off again, on the same day as his wife. Rob spent a number of years in the banking industry when he found he was climbing the wrong ladder.

You won’t believe the obstacles Rob’s had to overcome to become fully self-employed, including the death of his father in an accident.

How Rob spends his time during his day:

  • 4 hours for God, myself, health
  • 4 hours for research/development, business
  • 4 hours for family
  • 4 hours for operations, production
  • 8 hours of sleep each night

How Rob’s getting the word out about his business.

  • Talking to members online in forums
  • Blogging
  • Interacting with people online
  • Local workshops

    Today was a great treat for me. Justin and Rob are two of my favorite people. Having both on a show at the same time made my day. Great job guys. Keep up the great work you are doing to help others have a thriving business, and personal life as well.

    Ha! Justin you summed it up just like I had planned on. “Proactive”

    I wrote this quote down, “Proactively seeking out people to surround yourself with.” I think that is EXTREMELY important. I’m doing my best to form that circle of friends that can help me. Especially since I’m prone to falling and then wallowing in whatever I just fell in. I’ve realized I REALLY need people there to help me get up and keep going.

    Also, I’ve come to realize that just anyone shouldn’t be in that circle. I saw a blog post by you around this show talking about friends that say they are happy for you and then move on never to bring it up again. I haven’t really come across that, but mainly b/c I don’t feel comfortable discussing my ideas and plans with everyone I know now. I know some won’t care, others won’t understand, and others are likely to do their best to tear my ideas and plans apart in the guise of “helping” me. I don’t need that. I KILL most of my plans when I analyze the situation, I don’t need too much help in convincing myself the idea is stupid. What I need are possibilities and ways to overcome. People like Joshua Gordon and yourself are great at getting me to see ideas and possibilities.

    And I know Rob. We met over lunch shortly after I joined FAA. I’m hoping we’ll have lunch again this week. All I can say is when you sit down and talk to Rob, you can REALLY tell that his heart is in this. He’s asking questions and driving at how he can help you get where you want.

    Rock on guys!

    That’s right, Ivan. Many people will tell why your idea won’t work. At the Free Agent Academy (http://faatrial), we believe you only need one reason why it WILL work and we help you find it
