Nothing I’m talking about is beyond your capabilities. 

Why would you need a coach? 

Every person can do what I talk about, and you can do it on your own.  Like everything else in life, when we learn on our own, we mostly learn through trial and error.  Try something and see if it works.  If it does, great!  If it doesn’t, back to the drawing board and try, try again.  Does this approach work?  Most scientists think it was this very approach that created humanity – they call it evolution.  Hard to quibble with that!  Except the scientists tell us that it took millions of years to evolve modern man.  Can your dream wait that long?

Many people find themselves paralyzed by fear – fear of the unknown sometimes, but mostly fear of failure.  Failure is always a possibility, but so are many other options -- like magnificent success!

“There is no failure except in no longer trying.”

A coach can keep your mind on your goals, not your fears.

With my assistance, people have learned
that they have power over their businesses, their lives, and their dreams
.

Once you take the first step by deciding to take action, decide what action to take!  A coach will help you see the real impact of positive business and personal life goals.  At the beginning, you won’t limit yourself to the “possible” – you’ll be too busy creating possibilities.

Goals are like blessings –
you can’t have too many of them
.

After you’ve discovered your goals and dreams, your coach will assist in the process of “laddering” your goals and reviewing your resources.  Having a lot of goals is great, but pursuing more than you can handle all at once can be disorienting and unproductive.  I will guide you through an inquiry process that will analyze each goal in light of where you are today, and where you intend to be tomorrow and beyond.

Goals and dreams are the necessary beginnings of change.

As any successful dreamer can tell you, after the dream comes the work!  From the general to the specific, I can assist you in maintaining enthusiasm, focus, attention, discipline, and organization.  I am a valuable sounding board for ideas and thoughts because as your coach, I will know your goals and intentions.

"You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club."
 --  Jack London

A coach can
supercharge your progress.

Think about athletes on the field.  No matter what sport, each individual athlete is focused on delivering her or his very best each and every minute of the competition.  But while they’re doing that, who is observing and evaluating to assure that their best effort yields their best results? 

A coach uses her or his experience and knowledge to make sure that every effort you give is your best – focused, practical, effective, and aligned with your plan.  But it goes beyond that. 

“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
                      --  Robert Kennedy

A coach keeps you motivated.

A coach keeps you motivated by challenging your limits, expanding your possibilities by helping you find your hidden strengths.  On that most important journey of your life, you can’t afford to waste time or opportunities.

One of the greatest challenges to the successful entrepreneur is to avoid being eaten alive by the demands of the dream.  What was once the perfect opportunity for a life’s passion suddenly seems like a morass of unpaid invoices, overdue bills, unhappy customers, ungrateful employees, hostile city officials, and more and more you find yourself wondering why you ever wanted to do this in the first place.  Don’t despair.

A coach helps you understand
your natural business and life cycles...

and how they will challenge and change you as you master them.  It’s natural to sometimes find the sight of the dream obscured by piles of everyday details.  Despite how uncomfortable you may feel, it’s a good sign.  Your dream is working, it’s busy and challenging and absorbing.  And you’ve realized that you’re ready to go to the next level. You’ve been working so hard to manifest your dream, and you have.  But now what?

"Don't confuse having a career with having a life."
              -  Hillary Clinton

Together with your coach, you can make sure that you are a responsible and responsive member of your community.  Not just because it’s good business – though it is – but because you are a member of that community.  Your coach can help you achieve that perspective.

 Standing on the mountaintop can be
a lonely experience without a coach.

That’s why most people never seem to leave their rut to find their dream.  It’s a lonely journey sometimes. And the challenges along the way can confuse us and tempt us to cut corners..

Your coach can keep you focused on your priorities, and help you avoid compromises made in haste that you will later regret.

"No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist."
                --  Calvin Coolidge

You want the life you dream of.  A good coach gives you motivation, encouragement, focus, expertise, experience, reflection so that you can create that dream.  You can manifest your destiny.

This philosophy isn’t new.  It isn’t mine alone.  It isn’t a Secret.  It has appeared in many incarnations as individuals discover for themselves that they can make their own future.  Will Smith (the actor) tries to explain, but it’s tough.  Experience is the best way to know how this works.  And I can help you get there.
