when\u2019 mentality.\u00a0 There is a reason why there are more people who are interested in climbing Mount Everest than people who actually make the trip.\u00a0 And in all the coaching success stories I\u2019ve ever heard; the more obstacles a person has to overcome, the greater the need for commitment.\u00a0 And the greater the commitment, the sweeter the victory.<\/p>\n<p>Colette Seymann<\/p>\n<p>JTS Advisors Designated Accountability Coach<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coaching Success Stories in the Life Coaching Business Aren\u2019t Formed on Interest Alone .
