So many of us look forward to the day when we finally get caught up and can focus on the future, near and longer-term. Once we get that to-do list done, we will be able to do just that!
Stop kidding yourself! We know that it will never happen that way. Yet it is easier to tease ourselves with this possibility than to do something about it. Doing something about it is hard. It requires an honest look at where we are spending our time rather than doing the things to move us forward.
We admire those who have their life together, generically described as a successful business and happy personal life with outside interests. It is always a joy (mixed with a little envy) to hear what is next for this person we admire. We think how lucky they are to have figured out what makes them happy and how to make it happen. Lucky?
If you have read these messages with any regularity, you know that over the past year starting with Fresh Start, I have walked you through a process, step-by-step, to help you build the business and life of your dreams. Yet, you have been busy and haven’t read each post, nor made the time to implement the steps described in each. You weren’t quite sure it was possible for you, or that these messages were just that, your personal prescription for a life of happiness. Surely it is not as easy as simply reading a blog.
You are right. It is not. Change requires a commitment from you. Yes, you are the only one who can make your life different. Commit to that and you have taken the first step. Are you not sure what the next step should be? There are tons of books and other resources to help facilitate the change you want in your life. This message is just one of them.
If you would prefer, like I did, not to flail about wasting more time and energy researching books and resources, try the human route. Enlist the support of a coach to help you chart the way. The first step is yours, the commitment to change. For each step beyond that, a coach can help make your journey easier and faster. A coach is a resource greater than a search engine that provides personalized support to aid you in your progress. A coach is your accountability partner. Change isn’t easy. A good coach will push you when you would really rather quit and maintain the status quo. A coach will help you keep your commitment to make real change.
Not sure that coaching is for you? Then try it on and see if it fits. Most coaches offer a complimentary session and many offer money-back guarantees. Email me to learn more. What do you have to lose?
