There really aren’t many success coaching secrets.  Most life success coaches have heard them all before.  But how many life success coaches act on them?  The greatest success coaching secret is to do what you can, and get help with what you can’t.  Is it really that simple?  Don’t we have to break through to the other side?

Success Coaching Secret #1: Focus on a Single Task

According to the success coaching experts, our ability to focus on a single task is the greatest predictor of success.  If we are focusing on what we can do, we will be successful.  If we are focusing on what we can’t do, we will be paralyzed.  And as life success coaches, we understand this intellectually.

Success Coaching Secret #2: Ask for Help When You Need it Before You Dive in

Unfortunately most life success coaches don’t do this.  They ‘rise to the challenge’ and try to figure out all the answers on their own.  How many life success coaches do you know who don’t even hire someone for their own success coaching?  What is with this Lone Ranger mentality?  Even he had a sidekick.

Success Coaching Secret #3: Take Action

What happens instead is most life success coaches fail to take the action that they could do.  They stay busy learning the latest new theories and applications, instead of taking the action they need to action find success coaching clients.  How long do you need to work on your website, your collateral materials, or train before you start running some free coaching sessions and enrolling clients?  And although you could spend months trying to get to your limiting beliefs, I guarantee you they will come out on their own if you just start moving forward.

Whatever you know how to do as a life success coach, do it.  Ask for help for what you don’t know how to do.  Hire, bribe or barter with someone to help you.  Sure you’ll loose some certainty, some control, or even significance.  When you can do it for yourself, you can lead your success coaching clients as well.
