Why Hire a Coach?

Written by JP Meyers


Why would you hire a coach? You don't play competitive sports or run marathons. What could a coach do for you?

Just as amateur and professional athletes who want to further their game work with a coach, business owners, managers and entrepreneurs can also further their game, or business and life, by working with of a professional coach. You can be good, very good at what you do, but there is always better. And to get to better, you need to make changes.

Change doesn't just happen on its own. Change occurs when you take charge and actively work to make these changes. The three key ingredients to change are vision, plan, andrepparttar motivation to make it happen.

Some people go through work and life just existing. They're not unhappy, but they're not really happy either. They aren't very clear about what success, or a great life looks like, much less how to actually achieve it. They lack clear vision,repparttar 123281 ability to conceptualize a goal or ambition. And without a vision, a dream, a goal, a target, they aren't going anywhere.

A good coach asksrepparttar 123282 right questions to find out your values and deepest motivators, to peel backrepparttar 123283 layers to reveal your vision and dreams for an ideal life and work. Even someone who doesn't have a clear-cut vision of where he is headed still has dreams, hidden though they may be. A coach works with you to uncover those hidden dreams and goals and make them a reality, to put a face on them.

Once you have a vision, you need a plan to get there. You now know where you're going, but you aren't quite sure how to get there. A coach works with you to develop a map for your journey: identifyingrepparttar 123284 milestones alongrepparttar 123285 way, clarifyingrepparttar 123286 steps and priorities to reach those milestones, keeping you focused and on track toward each goal, and celebrating allrepparttar 123287 wins as they are achieved. You find that you are not alone on this journey; a coach partners with you every step ofrepparttar 123288 way to help you realize your vision. Your success is your coach's goal.

HabitsWhat I Want For You

Written by Miami Phillips


Think for a moment about your Self. Is there something that you would like to have, somewhere you would like to go, or something you would like to do? What is holding you back? I can probably guess atrepparttar possible answers:"Not enough money." "Not enough time." "I couldn't do that!"

Atrepparttar 123280 risk of going out on a limb, I am going to suggest thatrepparttar 123281 only thing holding you back from doing what you would like … is you!

Every one of us was born withrepparttar 123282 power to change our lives. All of us have seen seemingly ordinary people become superheroes. Why is this? Something happens in their lives that makes them suspend belief long enough to act unconsciously. When this happens, they are able to access this power and perform extraordinary feats.

Our minds are a recording device. We store away everything we read, see, hear, or otherwise experience in our lives from before we come intorepparttar 123283 world. During this time we also form opinions withrepparttar 123284 use of this information and fromrepparttar 123285 influences of others. From opinions and beliefs come habits. Habits then become our life - just day after day habits!

Have you ever tried to break a habit? It's not easy! That is because a habit is much easier to do than NOT do. To change a habit means you have to change your belief! Now we are back where we started. If there is something you truly want in your life, you can get it.

Fromrepparttar 123286 time I was a little boy, I wanted to be a sailor on a sailboat. I would tell everybody I was going to sail aroundrepparttar 123287 world. Many people told me then I could not do that. What is funny is that many people today tell methe same thing although we built a sailboat and sailed 15,000 miles in seven years. My beliefs were (and are) very strong.
