Pay for a life coach<\/strong><\/a> has always been a bit of a sore spot.\u00a0 Let’s put it this way… the pay for a life coach is the dirty little secret in the life coaching business<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Coaches that make a lot seem to use it as their ‘claim to fame’, and the coaches who don’t make a lot of pay for a life coach<\/strong> either hide the fact or they justify that they are doing the ‘right thing’ to give their services away or operate their life coaching business<\/strong> in a less-than-profitable manner.<\/p>\n However, the bottom line is that your responsibility level and power with producing results is the determining factor in your life coaching business<\/strong> income.\u00a0 It’s ridiculous that coaches are so ‘evolved’ and yet they turn into 3-year olds when they start discussing the proper pay for a life coach<\/strong>, and they begin to confront the real world issues in a life coaching business<\/span>.<\/p>\n Whether you have the common issue around pay for a life coach<\/span> or not, one thing that will hold you back in your life coaching business<\/span> is the ‘Blame Game’.\u00a0 The ‘Blame Game’ is commonly played around money, but you can apply it to much more than that.<\/p>\n Do you find every person, circumstance, and situation that’s responsible for your lack of success except for you?\u00a0 If you do (or at least know someone who does this) then you are familiar with the ‘Blame Game’.<\/p>\n Why would you (or SOMEONE you know…) do this?\u00a0 It’s simple.\u00a0 Human beings evolved as tribal animals (we lived inside of a group of other humans and depended on them for our survival).\u00a0 If you became the scapegoat back in the jungle (or the caves, etc.), then you were banished from the tribe, and then you DIED (or least you were eliminated from the gene pool because you had no one to mate with!).<\/p>\n The only people not eliminated from the gene pool were afraid of being the scapegoat.\u00a0 If fact they were so afraid that they would do anything to avoid being blamed for anything bad happening in the tribe, including LYING or BLAMING OTHERS.<\/p>\n These are the humans that survived.\u00a0 Nice group, huh?<\/p>\n Guess what…<\/p>\n YOU’RE ONE OF THEM.<\/p>\n You can push this further… into modern times, by looking at what we are taught to do now-a-days:<\/p>\n In society we are also taught that we aren’t responsible for anything.\u00a0 In school, we are taught to be a ‘cog in the machine’ (i.e. to do what the teacher, or headmaster, tells us to do).\u00a0 In most jobs we are trained that ‘You’re not in charge.\u00a0 Just follow the leader.\u00a0 The leader is responsible for everything.\u2019<\/p>\n All these societal structures reinforce that YOU are NOT the reason why your life (and your life coaching business) is the way it is.<\/p>\n .<\/span> The simple way to transform the ‘Blame Game’ is to start to affirm that “I’m responsible”.\u00a0 Why would you be motivated to do this?\u00a0 It seems you’d suddenly be blamed for everything, yes?\u00a0 Think about it this way.\u00a0 “I’m Responsible” = “I Can Change Things”.\u00a0 The “I’m Responsible” affirmation, can give you control back over your life and, yes, your suffering life coaching business.<\/p>\n Jeffrey T.
