Living A Better Life Because Of My Personal Coach

June 16, 2011 By Mark Rabbitt Leave a Comment

Times sure have changed and I am living a better life because of my personal coach. The power of personal coaching is incredible. The accountability only will make all the difference in the world. My coach never settles for anything less than my best. On a personal note, it’s not always easy to keep my word or my commitments all the time but, my personal coach empowers me to be my best.

Who Should Have A Personal Coach?

Anyone interested in raising their standards in their life, business or relationships should consider having a coach. A personal coach helps you to stay focused and developing a strategy for the many different areas of your life. The key is to find balance in your life. While the strategy helps you to navigate your way around, over, under or through the many obstacles you face in your life. It’s the action taken and the measure of accountability that determines how fast you accomplish your results.

How Does Personal Coaching Help?

First of all, it all starts with your goals. Your personal coach works with you to determine what is most important to you in your life? You could focus on your relationship, your personal life, your business life or any other area that you would like to see great stride in. After you have picked one or two major goals to work on, it’s time to set some specific commitments around those goals. These commitments need to be specific and measurable. By focusing on one or two goals at a time and being specific with your commitments you will achieve greater success. A personal coach holds you accountable for what you commit to and helps you stay on track. As with any great endeavor, a personal coach much like a tour guide will make your journey much more enjoyable.

Why People Need Life Coaching: What You Have to Offer as a Personal Coach

April 16, 2010 By Jeffrey T. Sooey 3 Comments

Do you really know the value you have to offer as a personal coach?  How effective is life coaching anyway?  These are questions that personal coaches and potential clients ask.  There are tons of books available at the bookstore, and hundreds of seminars that one can attend.  Why should people pay you for life coaching if they can read a book or go to a seminar?

What is the Difference Between Life Coaching and Books or Seminars?

.

Books are different than life coaching; they entice you with the promise of a better life, but end up being more educational than transformational.  The only person who ends up benefiting is the author.  That’s because 95% of people will not follow though with a plan after reading a book or even going to a seminar.  That’s why people need a personal coach.  They need a guide.  They need you.

A Personal Coach Can Provide Results to the Masses

.

A personal coach can provide strategy, address the psychology behind people’s actions and beliefs, and get them to take action toward their goals by providing accountability.  Life coaching is about getting results.  With life coaching success is not limited to the 5% who would get the results on their own.

Become a Personal Coach Who Elicits Change on a Permanent Basis

.

Life coaching is not about changing people for a weekend during a seminar, or for a week or so while they read a book.  It’s about permanent change.  With a personal coach people have an opportunity to really create a different life for themselves over time.  And with many people who have committed to working with a personal coach, the results no longer matter.  They have so fully transformed that even if they were to give away the results they got from coaching; in terms of money or relationships, they could get it all back again.  As a personal coach, that is the potential you have to offer.  And that is priceless.

Life Coaching Bedtime Stories: Which of the Three Little Pigs Fits Your Personal Coach Style Best?

February 5, 2010 By Jeffrey T. Sooey 4 Comments

If there were such a thing as a life coaching bedtime story, it would have to be the three Little Pigs. Do you know which of the three little pigs’ style best matches your personal coach style?  It would be nice to say that all personal coach styles are created equal.  But let’s face it.  Some life coaching businesses are not strong enough to withstand the Big Bad Wolf.  The Big Bad Wolf is anything or anyone that would destroy you or your life coaching business.

What Kind of Life Coach are You?  Do You Relate to the First Little Pig?

.

Personal Coach Style #1:  The pig that built his life coaching business out of straw.  This coach is up and running very quickly, but his business doesn’t have enough substance to withstand the obstacles that inevitably get in the way of success.  The first minor struggle sends these coaches running; either for a job or a new career entirely.

Is Your Personal Coach Style Akin to the Second Little Pig With His House of Sticks?

.

Personal Coach Style #2:  The pig that built his life coaching business out of sticks.  This coach has invested a little more effort or capital into his business than the first piggy.  Maybe he has some certification or special training, and may do well just on the basis on choosing a great niche.  Sooner or later, the Big Bad Wolf will arrive only to destroy all that he has built.

Or is Your Life Coaching Business Built on a Bricks?

.

Personal Coach Style #3:  The pig that built his life coaching business out of bricks.  This little pig may seem slow to get up and running.  He is building a foundation.  He might even be setting up an internet marketing plan and generating leads on a passive basis.  Eventually he will be able to house the other little pigs who are out on the streets and provide coaching jobs for them.

Which of these personal coach styles most accurately describes you?  How strong is your life coaching business?  Where do you need to invest more of your resources to build a business that will last through the challenges and the Big Bad Wolves?
