You’ll never know until you try

June 6, 2011

Have you ever worked really hard at something and couldn’t get it right? You knew you were missing something, but couldn’t figure out what it was? I have. I’ve struggled often in my life… personally and professionally. I kept making the same mistakes over and over again. I would change a little, but it was really just a small variation on the same mistake. I just couldn’t see myself clearly enough to make the changes I needed to make to be successful. I began to wonder if something was wrong with me.

I mean, if everyone else can do it, why can’t I? Have you ever felt this way? I didn’t give up though and kept searching and searching. Finally, I found the secret. It was so simple. It was the one thing that turned everything around for me. I found a coach. She helped me make the changes I needed to build a successful life.. She gave me support. She was my sounding board. She helped me realize what was important to me to be successful and stay focused on it. She taught me how to be my best self; so much so that I decided to become a coach as well.

Having a coach is the most important element to living a successful life. Quit trying to go it alone. You need that person to help you over the edge. Everyone needs a coach. A coach helps you hold up a mirror to your life and see who and what you are… without judgment. Then, they help you move forward to get the life you want. What do you need to change to have the life of your dreams?

What mistakes or variations of mistakes do you keep repeating?

Whatever it is, a coach can be the catalyst to get you to the life you want. I know, I know you don’t think it’s for you… you can do it on your own… you get advice from your ______(insert name here)… you can’t afford it… you don’t have the time to commit. I could go on and on and on. I’ve heard all of the objections. Here are your answers –

  • It may not be your deal right now, but you will only know that if you try it. Dismissing something without trying is not only close-minded; you may miss out on the one thing you needed to build the life of your dreams.
  • You can’t do it on your own or you’d already be doing it. By the way, the more successful the person, the more coaches they have.
  • You can and should get advice from friends and family, but a coach doesn’t tell you what to do. They help you figure it out. We’re trained to focus on you, your needs and how to get them out of you so you can build the life of your dreams.
  • That used to be valid, but with our group coaching prices, you don’t have that one anymore. You can get two sessions for as little as $39 a month. That’s less than one tank of gas, a night out, a Starbucks every day … come on.
  • If you don’t have time to commit. I would ask, what are you doing with your time now that’s more important than building a life you love?

All of these add up to the real objection, “I’m afraid of change. What if I can’t do it? What if people laugh at me for having a life coach?”

It’s all about fear. Do you want to live in fear or abundance? I challenge you to choose abundance for 90 days. Join our coaching group for the summer and see what happens.

If it doesn’t work for you, try something else; but what if it does work? What if it completely changes your life like it did mine? Will you care what other people think? Will you make time for it? You’ll never know until you try. Our first session is Thursday. Follow the link to sign up and start your journey to the life of your dreams.
