Or are you working long hours without seeing the rewards of your hard work? For many coaches, they have not found the balance they hoped coaching would bring to their lives. They don\u2019t have time for their friends, family, or even preparing meals. They spend more on education and resources than they make. They are ready to quit. Does this sound too familiar?<\/p>\n<h3>Where Most Coaches Go Wrong<\/h3>\n<p>The two most common errors are either spending too much time on education or too little. Let\u2019s face it, you need good coaching skills, good business skills, and the ability to implement. Unfortunately most coaches never get to the implementation part. There needs to be a sense of urgency to get things done. Parkinson \u2019s Law is basically a principle that states the amount of time you have to complete a project is the amount of time it takes. Perhaps longer.<br \/>\nAnother area where coaches often have challenges is in getting mentoring. A mentor is someone who can lead you because he or she has been there before. A mentor can also be a coach, but is not a peer. You won\u2019t get the mentoring you need to succeed by being part of a mastermind group, because it is a peer group. Masterminds can be great, but are not a substation for getting mentoring from someone who has your best interest at stake.<\/p>\n<h3>Become a Life Coach Who Doesn\u2019t Need to Be Perfect<\/h3>\n<p>Quality is fine, but you have to choose what you are going to let slide. Personally, I outsource a lot of things that take up time. More often than not people think my office is a mess. You can eat off my kitchen floor, but the food in the fridge is better. But seriously, you can <strong>become a life coach<\/strong> who is ready to prioritize so you can live the life you want. And in the process you can lead others in the process.<\/p>\n<div>By the way\u2026 you\u2019re invited to claim your FREE step-by-step \u201c<strong><a title=\"life coach salary secrets\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coachestrainingblog.com\/gsp.php?adsource=blogtext\" target=\"_self\">Life Coach Salary Secrets<\/a><\/strong>\u201d video toolkit.
