The problem with the training and coaching industry is that most people love only the mindset part. A lot of them just remain happy being in the learning zone, without doing anything.
The problem with the digital marketing industry us that everybody is only focused on the tools & tactics and they don’t realise that great marketers are not people who just understand tools, but they understand human behaviour.
So these are 2 extreme ends of the spectrum.
One is “heart-focused” and the other is “head-focused”. 🙂

Just listened to the podcast – Coaches vs Digital Marketers – The Unspoken Truth and it was so much value-filled.
I highly resonate with the facts he shared about the coaches in the market who are either proficient with the mindset game or the tools and tactics. I have been there personally in that personal satisfaction of learning zone where I kept on juggling and courses and webinars and got boosted up but the implementation part was minimal.
It is only transformational only when there is an amalgamation of Mindset and Toolsets training.Sidz has been true to this promise, I hardly had gone through three modules of training so far and I see how my skillsets are improving day by day. An analogy mentioned at the end of the podcast about how diamonds are created under pressure, if not remain as coal reflects this fact.
At the end of the end, being a successful coach means you are able to resonate with the market, have the right intentions and be able to spread knowledge in a crisp and clear format.
The 15 skillsets as shared by Sidz including the Research skills, List building skills, Webinar selling , Funnel building etc. should be core emphasis areas to improve as a digital coach. He/She must be able to be adaptable to leverage and use the toolsets corresponding to the skillsets. Currently I am in the curriculum design stage , I am excited to explore how my research skills will be able to pull out a fruitful course for many.
I liked the analogy here he said ” Mindset will give you the fuel, Skillsets will give you the confidence and the toolsets will give you leverage”

The Important Bridge between Coaches Vs Marketers is mentioned in this podcast.
As I was just going through this podcast, it had a great understanding of this valuable podcast and a lot of lessons for me to develop.
Many of the Coaches are more of talkers and less of action takers. But if they understand these concepts of human behavior psychology and do marketing with head & heart focused; the impact is huge. Personality Development and Skill Development in the digital space are very important in this present era.
Learning is good, Implementing what we learn is best. Personality development or mindset development is most important in the digital space. It’s not only the products we sell to the customers, it’s our customer transformation results. This is only possible with a combination of personality development and having concern for the success of our customers. Right Positive attitude in the sales is important, people can sense it or else will get outdated over a period of time. Mindset, toolset, and skillset development will lead to a super successful life. Skillset development should be the goal.
Mindset is important to leverage the power of skill set.
Toolset and tactics are important as long as we use it aesthetically. Ultimately the skill on touching the human heart using these tools is what we have to set the goal and keep improving on a daily basis.
In Internet Lifestyle Hub (ILH) we go through the journey of different levels of courses; building a skill-set is the major goal of every course. Along with that what we have developed is mindset and tool-set using it aesthetically.
Tools keep on changing time to time, so we need to adopt new ways of doing things.
These are Top Essential Core 15 Skills we need to develop within a year and we need to achieve mastery in these skills:
1. Content Research skills: Extracting Hot Topics relevant to the pain point of our clients and deliver the best solution based on our expertise + experience.
2. Content Creation Skills: There are many media by which contents can be created, viz., video, audio, graphics, post, emails, etc. by which our message can be reached to our customers/clients.
3. Course Creation Skills: How we design our course to ease the journey of our customer, with the upgraded skills & expertise we have in our niche.
4. Video Recording Skills: Mobile video recording, Video Camera recording, its settings, also light set up for the best appearance in the video; how we deliver the contents; engaging the viewers, call to action, sharing the ppt/mindmap, software used for video recording.
5. Video Editing Skills: simple cut editing, adding effects, B Rolls, sound effects, video ratio, quality of exporting video, short videos, long-form videos, output matters a lot.
6. Canva Designing Skills: User-friendly designer tool, use it aesthetic way to represent who are what you represent. Need to get a mastery over this.
7. System Set-Up Skills: Building Online Systems. Like building a Website, managing a WordPress site, integrate the apps, traffic generations, google analytics, etc.
8. Funnel Building Skills: Funnels to help our customers to be on the right track of journey and get the maximum results on the process. And it has to be mastered over a period of time.
9. List Building Skills: customer email list is like blood, emails need to be collected on a daily basis.
10. Traffic generation skills: Attracting the right customers to our system.
11. Facebook advertising skills
12. Webinar selling skills: how we start the webinar, engage with the audience, how we design the ppt, how we place the offer, payment options, etc
13. Automation skills: totally automate the process of the business
14. Tribe building skills: guest to customers and developing customers to lifelong community members by consciously nurturing and upgrading them from time to time.
15. Cashflow management skills: to manage the cash better and this skill will help to increase the source of income.
These are skills, each skills have tools to create. When we combine Mindset + Skill Set + Tool Set = A Complete Digital Master. There is no obstacles stopping us in moving forward in the digital space. This is a great combination of Coaches and Marketers.
Many of Hall of Fame Members have achieved great success with mastery of the above skill set.
We cant say we are good enough in the above skills. We have continuously practice and improvising the skill set.
Mindset will give you the fuel to move forward.
Skillset will give you the confidence.
The toolset will give you the leverage if we use it in best possible ways.
The hackathon process will help the speeding up the process. It’s like creating diamonds under pressure. We have put the self-pressure to get a breakthrough.
Sidz communication ways by emails, voice notes, podcasts, videos always keeps us inspired from within and makes us take actions, and helps to create a big breakthrough. Thanks for these deeper concepts.
I will improve my skillset and serve my clients/customers and create a better world.

My takeways:

2. Great marketers are those who understand human behavior.
3. Mindset and tool sets are important but skillsets are more important.

My Takeaways
The trainers and coaches focus on Mindset and so keep learning, attending and conducting Webinars trying to make all happy, with positive affirmations, personal development , feel good factor but rarely bother about implementation. They are basically heart focused
The Digital Marketers on the other hand focus on Toolset. They talk about the tools and tactics , the hacks, the numbers, the conversions, the Traffic and so on. They are primarily Head focused.
The best alternate is an amalgamation of the two with focus on Skill set . The real magic lies in leveraging the power of your mindset and toolset to builds skillsets which will be valuable and long lasting
There are 15 skillsets which can be mastered by us to become successful coaches as follows
1) Content Research skillset: with tools to research on hot trending topics
2) Content Creation Skillset: using Text, Graphics, Audio, Video
3) Course creation Skillset: using Audio, Podcasts, Video, Seminars, Posts, emails
4) Video creation Skillset
5) Video editing Skillset
6) Designing Skillset: using Canva and other software
7) System setting up Skillset: for Managing Websites, Administration
8) Funnel creation Skillset
9) List Building Skillset
10) Traffic creation Skillset
11) Facebook Advertising Skillset
12) Webinar selling Skillset
13) Automation Skillset
14) Tribe building Skillset
15) Cash flow management Skillset
Success is ensured when you are able to amalgamate the mindset, tool set and skillset. The mindset provides the fuel, the skillsets will give you confidence and toolsets will leverage you to scale up. Diamonds are built on pressure as without pressure you may continue to remain as coal. So you need to come out of your comfort zone and become diamonds. When you contribute to your mindset with skill set, and the right toolset, then there is no stopping you from attaining Success.

Hi,
Yet another Useful message from the Ever-Until unless you come out from your comfort zone (keep listening and learning, feed knowledge to your mind, and live in a dream world) to grind yourself with the meaning full Action, you cannot Uplift your Lifestyle.
Keep mesmerize us Sid…!!!
#ilhfamily #ilhdeeplearner
After listening to the Podcast I felt as if it was made for me only.
I can see myself getting to become more of a learning junkie than the action taker. The podcast stirs my mind & moves it to the right path.
The crux of my learning :
To taste the real success we must know that our Mindset must be fully utilised for building the right skillset, while each skillset will have related multiple Toolsets to master.
So the Mindset works like fuel that helps us build skills which gives confidence in the business. Tools help us leverage things better and effective way.

Thank you Rajesh! Glad to serve you.

I believe this podcast is like a realistic jolt to many of us digital coaches. Truck loads of thanks to Sidz once again! ????
????I often wonder, I am a dedicated learner, feedback scores from my learners confirm that I train well, I have my basic digital systems and tools in place as well but why am I UNABLE TO SCALE UP?
???? Well, here is the answer, I am a POOR IMPLEMENTER because I keep toggling between the two spectrums:
????(one end of the spectrum) feeling awesome learning new things attending hundreds of webinars like “dopamine” doses
????(another end of the spectrum) feeling cool and geeky using some basic digital systems and tools in my coaching business
????But, the MISSING PIECE in my case are the SKILL-SETs…
After listening to the deep learning podcast, I realized that I must hone these 7 key skills out of the 15-to-the-point skills that Sidz has mentioned:
1. Funnel Building Skills
2. Cash flow management Skills
3. List building skills
4. Lead generation skills
5. Automation Skills
6. Facebook Ad Skills
7. Webinar Selling Skills
TWO GOLDEN MANTRAS
———————
????Mindset (is like the Fuel) + Skillset (Gives you Confidence) + Toolset (Give you Leverage) = When your LIFE will be SET! 🙂
????We are always “Work In Progress” (WIP): Even if we learn these, there will troughs and crests through out the journey, we must NOT give up
Did you find your missing piece?

Deep Learning out of the unspoken Truth of Coaches Vs Marketers – http://siddharthrajsekar.com/coaches-vs-digital-marketers/
1. On the Coach Community Side – People are Missing on ACTION – The Personal satisfaction on “Learning” part is more. The Learning junkies of the world – are the ones who are not taking action.
2. On the The Digital Marketer side – They are focussed on latest tools / latest strategies / who is making more money now – which is not deep and more shallow. One Needs to grow up from the shallowness – resonate more with your audience on a longer term. Once the tactics and tools get out dated – they fizzle out.
3. Great marketers are those – who understand skillsets to a deeper level. Mind-sets are important, tool sets are important – but mastering skillsets – is the ultimate game changer.
4. Mind-sets – without leveraging the power to muster skillsets – there remains a level of emptiness there. Learning without implementing the knowledge is like sleeping. The coaching people , who are just learning and learning – and not implementing – need to Wake up.
5. Tool sets and tactics are important – only if you are able to use them more aesthetically. How are you going to bring in your personality into the same – is of importance.
