\"\"It would seem that winning and success coaching<\/a><\/strong> should go hand in hand, right? Well, perhaps, perhaps not. Does winning equal success, or can success be measured in some other way?<\/p>\n

If you think of winning as merely a competition against someone else, than winning is success in that one competition. If you cheat to win, do you really win? Once again, perhaps or perhaps not. Did Mark McGwire break the single season home run record. Yes, he did. Did Barry Bonds break McGwire’s record? Yes he did. But, they are both suspected of using steroids and their achievements are now tainted. They won and they lost.<\/p>\n

Winning and Success Coaching Go Together…But<\/h3>\n

Success coaches need to teach winning, so winning and success coaching<\/span> do go together. But success coaching is about more than winning. It is about being a winner. Being a winner doesn’t mean you beat the other guy; it means you achieved what you set out to do. On the sports field, winning counts; that’s why so many players used steroids. In life, winning is more about achieving your goals and reaching your dreams. A success coach can get you to the mountaintop of your dreams…and help you stay there.<\/p>\n

Did Bernie Madoff win because he made so much money? Would his success coach, if he had had a success coach, be proud of him? It is very doubtful. Bernie Madoff left a financial mess in his wake and ruined the lives of many people, including those in his own family. Bernie Madoff sits in jail right now. Not a winner.<\/p>\n

Winning and Success Coaches<\/h3>\n

To be a successful success coach, it is important to have a good understanding of what winning means. You can talk about success, achievements, goals, and dreams all you want, but eventually the word \u201cwin\u201d or \u201cwinning\u201d or \u201cwinner\u201d will come up. You should have your own definition and you should certainly talk about it with each client to find out what a client thinks about winning and success coaching<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Remember Charlie Sheen using the term \u201cwinning\u201d while he was getting fired from his popular television show. For him, winning may mean that the show was better with him than it is without him. But, his rants left plenty of collateral damage and if you sum together all of his actions, most people wouldn’t say he won. Yes, it’s true that he has plenty of money, hot women still flock to him, and he has a new television show, but did he come out of it looking like a winner? It is doubtful a good success coach would think so.<\/p>\n

Definitions of Winning<\/h3>\n

Here are a few definitions of winning that are useful in success coaching:<\/p>\n
