Life Coaching to Achieve Your Dreams
Someone once said to me that the difference between someone who achieves their goals and the person who doesn’t is who is prepared to pay the price.
We can get what we want, as long as we’re prepared to do the things needed to get it, or, more importantly, change our thinking so we can experience it.
What this means is that most people could achieve their goals if they were willing to pay the priceof changing their thinking. We experience the world not as it is, but as we are. Believe in a world of lack, and that is what you will experience. Believe in a world of abundance and you’ll notice that.
So the price to pay is changing how we see ourseves. Self-doubt, fear and procrastination are complete life wasters. Most of us have little to fear except a perception of a world that is somehow not safe, but the truth is, the world is, for most of us, very safe.
If we live in a country where we are fortunate to set goals then we are most likely reasonably safe. We have the luxury of a polce force, safe streets, schools and jobs. So what is there to be afraid of?
If you’re not achieving your dreams then perhaps you don’t see the world as safe. You are fearful of - judgement, loss, lack, rejection, not being enough, not succeeding, failing, responsibility….
All of these fears represent how we don’t really trust ourselves. It’s not the world we fear, but us. We fear that we won’t be up to it, so we compromise, think small and hide behind being busy so we don’t have to face the fear of our own inadequacies.
And have a life half lived, and then the regrets.
There are SO many examples of people who have paid the ultimate price for their goals and dreams - they believed in themselves, or were at least willing to see what they were really capable of. The price they paid was to sacrifice their fears for a shot at their dreams.
This seems like a small price to pay when we think of the alternative.
I’m writing this blog at the end of an NLP training where everyone in the room has paid the price this training by absolutely going for it! They are learning something that can only be known through action - that the price isn’t that expensive after all.
Life Coaching
Life Coaching is one of the fastest growing businesses in the world, as it provides a great platform for homebased business, gets results and is personally rewarding. Life Coaches come from all walks of life and share some common attributes - a willingness to learn, an ability to listen and a curiosity about human behviour.
Becoming a life coach takes a level of self-awareness that is enhanced through training, practice and feedback. We need to know how to overcome procrastination, fears and limiting beliefs and then turn learning into action.
The first steps is to train - champions are made in training, not at the big events - so we need to take the first steps towards mastery and learn the foundations to coaching effectiveness. This combined with practice and ongoing feedback provides a strong and effective model of learning for coaching students.
