The Problem With New Year's ResolutionsWritten by Cyndi Smasal
Continued from page 1
It's easy to start New Year with good intentions and a list of resolutions. But it's hard to follow through with those resolutions all year. Sometimes they don't last a month or even a week. Another reason it's hard to follow through and keep a resolution is lack of a support system. Everything in your life is set up for you to do things old way. In order to start doing something new, you have to set a new structure and support system in place to reinforce your new behavior until it becomes a new lifestyle. This New Year, instead of making resolutions, think about what outcomes you want to have at end of next year. Then establish a structure and support system with all resources you need to make it happen. ================= Cyndi Smasal: Jump-Start Coach & Inspirational Speaker Gives focused one-on-one Coaching to people who want to make big leaps forward in their business or personal life. http://www.JumpStartCoach.com Send email to mailto:csmasal@CyndiSmasal.com for a FREE 30-minute Coaching Experience.

ACCOUNTABILITY Someone to be accountable to who's on your side, and pulling for you is a gift you give yourself. Coaching clients are high-functioning and successful. They've "proved" they can self-start and self-motivate. Having someone to touch base with, brainstorm with, and celebrate success with is a treat. It's an extension of your social support network that will greatly increase your well-being. It's a step up ladder from "needs" to "wants." WHY STAND AT THE CROSSROADS ALONE? Most coaching clients are in a transition-or they will be by time coaching is over! Coaching moves you ahead in your life. The questions isn't "Why would you want a coach?" it's "Why wouldn't you want a coach?" Coaches bring clarity. We're all on inside of our own lives looking out. The coach has big picture that you can't have. GETTING ORGANIZED Hiring a coach will get your organized. Most coaches have a program for organization. I use Gooding Accountability System(tm). Once you have clarity and know how to get organized, things falls into place. IDEAS & IMPLEMENTATION A good coach can feed you ideas, push you farther than you might yourself, and also give resources for implementation. One of advantages of being a coach is that I talk to people all day long in different walks of life who give me information. I have clients who are web designers, intellectual property attorneys, therapists, social workers, IS specialists, marketers, animal communicators, paralegals, telemarketers, engineers ... list goes on and on. I have a "feed" to a huge resource of great minds. USER FRIENDLY Coaching is conducted over phone and by email. There are many obvious advantages to this. · No static. It's tremendously helpful not to see or be with a client. It removes all sorts of preconceptions and allows great focus. · Time-effective. Neither client nor coach has to worry about what we have on, how we look, what office looks like, transportation or waiting time. · Confidentiality. Other professionals you use are in your home town and smaller town, more confidentiality problems. My clients are all over world; at this time I don't even have one in my home state. · No insurance, no managed care. Managed care is not dictating terms of contract and no one is reporting on what goes on in sessions. More and more people are becoming concerned about confidentiality issues with insurance, and rightly so. HOW TO FIND YOUR COACH All coaches offer a complimentary coaching session. This is because "fit" is important. You can find coaches on a search engine, or by going to www.coachfederation.org or www.coachville.com . Check out their website, give them a call and sample wares.
