If you want to become a life coach <\/strong><\/span><\/a>who wins the war against the biggest threat to getting results, you\u2019ll need to understand the enemy.\u00a0 Interruptions will rob you of achieving your greatest dreams in life if you don\u2019t prepare seriously.\u00a0 Become a coach who not only can help yourself, but also help your clients.<\/div>\n
\u00a0.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
Most people don\u2019t really see interruptions as a serious threat.\u00a0 In fact, most people receive a big payoff from interruptions.\u00a0 Email is as addictive as narcotics.\u00a0 Phone calls give us a break out of our isolation or make us feel important.\u00a0\u00a0 Colleagues with problems may walk into our office, live or virtually, and give us a feeling of significance because we are the go to person to solve problems.\u00a0 While there is value in all of these things, these interruptions will keep you from achieving your goals.<\/div>\n

.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Become a Life Coach Who Prepares for Battle<\/h3>\n
Create an environment that is safe from interruptions.\u00a0 Vow to never again allow small things to shift your focus from the things you must do to achieve your goals.\u00a0 Turn off your phone, shut your door, and logout of your email account.\u00a0 If you must, shove all the papers on your desk into a box and close it.\u00a0 Become a life coach<\/strong><\/span><\/a> who creates blocks of time where you do nothing else but work on the tasks you need to complete to achieve your goals.<\/div>\n

.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Prepare Yourself for Interruption Withdrawals<\/h3>\n
Once you have created an optional environment to work, be prepared for the next stage of the battle. \u00a0The payoff you\u2019ve been receiving from the interruptions is going to be missed.\u00a0 You will no longer be getting a \u201cfix\u201d from your interruptions.\u00a0 Just like a drug withdrawal, it won\u2019t be comfortable.\u00a0 Don\u2019t become a life coach<\/span> who falls into the trap of creating your own interruptions such as needing to get a drink of water, using the toilet, or deciding you need to start a load of laundry.\u00a0 Avoid these temptations and work.\u00a0 After a few days of working on your projects and getting some results, you will start to get used to the lack of interruptions.\u00a0 And you may even find yourself getting annoyed when they show up where you tolerated them before.<\/div>\n
