to Choose Courage Over Comfort in Your Coaching Business"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it\u2019s time to go to work on your coaching business, which do you choose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Courage or Comfort?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can\u2019t have both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you think in the short term, comfort may feel like the best route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s tempting to embrace comfort, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you know that living a life of only instant gratification will never create lifelong fulfillment for you, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how can you do the things that you need to do to grow your coaching practice when the sofa is calling your name to veg out in front of the TV?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you need to create some LEVERAGE for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat do you mean\u2026 \u2018Leverage\u2019, Colette??\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With physical leverage, the longer the lever\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;the less force you need to create change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img

alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EMOTIONAL Leverage is similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all have an Emotional Lever inside us that gets us to&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eat food<\/li><li>Wake up in the morning<\/li><li>Get our work done<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;anything other than lying in bed all day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, if your Emotional Lever is too short, then you won\u2019t overcome your resistance to work on your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The length of your Emotional Lever is measured by the intensity of your motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to lengthen that Emotional Lever, you need to increase your motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do you increase your motivation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you see the cost of not

is magnified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PLUS, your Emotional Lever gets LONGER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, what is choosing to stay in your comfort zone
