# Coaching Tip: How to Be a Winner in Two Steps

#### ![I won!](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/hs-fs/file-14052242-jpg/images/jump_for_joy.jpg)**From a Law of Attraction perspective, I guess it's no surprise that I won 2 contests in the past week: I'm also running the [Best Coaching Blogs Contest](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/best-coaching-blogs-2009/) and giving tips to the contestants on how to win it! :)**

**Still, I don't enter that many contests, so it feels really fresh to suddenly be a two-time winner.** The first contest was just a nice surprise. One week ago I found out on Twitter that I'd won a $100 Gift Certificate to Amazon from [Dimdim.com](http://dimdim.com), the webinar company whose platform I love.

**Yippee!** All I did was retweet their announcement that *they* were a winner in the Webware 100 contest. So now I have a tough choice to make: spend $100 on some of those cool books that are on my Amazon Wishlist, or invest in a nifty Flip camcorder?

#### **However winning ['The Peppered Customer of the Year'](http://peppervirtualassistant.com/blog/2009/06/and-the-winner-is-%e2%80%a6/comment-page-1/#comment-1369)contest just about launched me into outer space!**

**What this means is that I get free virtual assistance for one whole year from [Pepper Virtual Assistant](http://peppervirtualassistant.com/), a great new company that 'gets it' and is doing really professional work.** If you know me and my business then you know we're at that awkward stage where we need a lot more assistance without breaking our budget, so this is a dream come true!

**How did I hear about the contest?** My friend, [Barbra Sundquist](http://becomeacertifiedcoach.com) tweeted about it. Barbra found Pepper because she tweeted that she was looking for a virtual assistant that would work for free to help out a non-profit and Pepper volunteered.

#### **Now I'm blogging about Barbra, Pepper and Dimdim.** **Are you seeing a pattern here?**

**If you want to be a winner:**

1. Be ready to help other folks out.
2. Get on Twitter.

**I invite you to follow me [@MasteryCoach](http://twitter.com/masterycoach) on Twitter.** I post great quotes, retweet other people's stuff and report on cool companies and resources.

**I also tweet updates on Best Coaching Blogs 2009.** Help out some bloggers there by [voting and commenting on their blogs](https://www.schoolofcoachingmastery.com/best-coaching-blogs-2009/). Then maybe go tweet about it...
