When are you ready?

“I’m working on it …”

 

When my coach asked when I would start my coaching business, I felt like she was pushing me too hard.

 

Isn’t she aware of how hard I already work?

 

“I need to finish this course first, so I know how to …”

 

Then, “I need to finish reading this book, so I know how to …”

 

I’ve always wanted to include coaching in my speaking services because I love the direct impact coaching can have on people’s lives and businesses.

 

Years passed as I considered the benefits and drawbacks, debating whether or not that was the right course of action…

 

Then, for many months, I put in a lot of effort…

 

Reading, writing, and attending trainings were all on my to-do list…

 

And the almost endless supply of free webinars convinced me that I needed to add yet another tool to my toolbox before I could welcome clients…

 

Oh, and I need to update my website…

 

Oh, should I rebrand my social media accounts…

 

Does this sound familiar?

 

Do you want to guess which book or course helped me get my foot in the door in the real world?

 

Having a coach!

 

The truth is that most of us have a lot of hidden genius inside of us that we aren’t aware of. So we kept looking outwards, hoping that one more lesson, one more book would eventually give us the courage to embark on our own journey.

 

So many people, whether it’s a new career path, a new lifestyle, or a new business plan, have big ambitions and the potential to achieve them. They haven’t begun yet because they are trapped in their cocoon of perpetual “student” status.

 

It is important to learn. However, the most successful learning occurs when you actually do it!

 

My coach was the one who really got me going, made me see the genius inside myself, and gave me the confidence to step outside of my comfort zone.

 

If you’re wondering if coaching is right for you or how to confidently move into your zone of genius, let me help you find out the answer!

I Almost Quit Too Soon

/in /by

This past weekend, we went for a snowshoe hike. The hike’s beginning was a little underwhelming. We had to bushwhack and posthole through snow and ice for nearly an hour.

 

We moaned and swore. We contemplated turning around and calling it a day.

 

That’s something I’m happy we didn’t do!

 

The view was literally stunning until we broke through the tree line and climbed onto the ridge!

 

 

We would have probably endured the “suffer-fest” more cheerfully if we had known what a lovely payoff awaited us.

 

As an entrepreneur, do you ever feel like you’re bushwhacking and post-holing and want to give up?

 

What if you could experience the thrill of reaching the ridge’s satisfying payoff, where you can look out at the stunning scenery all around you and see the summit just around the corner?

 

What if you could see your dream clearly and know it’s a reality?

 

Furthermore, to make matters even better…

 

On the way down from the mountain, we came across an old boot track that allowed us to avoid the bushwhacking and post-holing sections.

 

Oh, if we’d known that earlier, we might have gotten off to a much better start!

 

Working hard is an unavoidable part of any entrepreneurial endeavor, but it can also be enjoyable and exciting!

 

Why don’t you join me in discovering your dream’s stunning vision and learning how to get there gracefully and easily?

 

 

How to achieve that impossible goal

/in /by

Many people have been reluctant to dream big because they are anxious about how they can accomplish their goals.

 

True, no dream will become a reality unless you take action. So, how do you do it?

 

When I first dreamt about climbing Mount Everest, I also daydreamed about a plan.

 

I created an Excel spreadsheet with a list of all the skills I need to learn as well as some smaller mountains I need to climb.

 

With no previous experience in mountaineering or physical training, I had no idea if that plan was even remotely feasible at the time. I didn’t know how long it took to learn each skill and improve my fitness level. They were all just daydreams.

 

As a result, I called the spreadsheet “my dream.”

 

Then I looked at which ability I thought would take the most time to master and decided to begin there. So the following weekend, I signed up for an introduction to rock climbing class with a local guiding company.

 

One step led to another. From there, I met people who advised me on the next step, and the next step…

 

So, what is the lesson here for you?

 

You don’t have to know “how” to get all the way towards your dream.

 

All you need is to identify the first tiny step.

 

While you are dreaming big, your focus is on the “present”.

 

Identify the first small step and concentrate on making progress toward that goal.

 

Every little achievement will boost your confidence and open the door for your next step.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I understand how daunting even the first small step can be! I’ve been there before.

 

It requires you to believe in your dream. It’s not easy to be optimistic until you can see the path!

 

You want to know another secret?

 

Don’t do it alone.

 

No one gets to the top alone.

 

I was grateful for the coaches and guides I met along my journey who showed me the door, shortened my learning curve, and gave me the confidence to step into unknown.

 

You don’t have to do it alone.

 

It would be my pleasure to be your coach, partner, and guide while you work toward your dreams! Why not sign up for a free Visioning and Goal Setting session with me and let’s explore your impossible dream together?

How to Set an Impossible Goal

/in /by

Does my previous email about why you need an impossible goal make you wonder a little bit?

 

At the very least, I hope you’ve thought about setting an impossible goal by this point!

 

“How do I set an impossible goal?” you could be thinking.

 

First and foremost, put “how” out of your mind!

 

Don’t worry about whether it’s probable or how you’ll get there.

 

Allow your creativity to soar. Keep dreaming about it, even though you “think” it’s impossible!

 

My Everest dream began as a simple daydream. I never imagined that one day I’d be able to scale the summit of Mount Everest.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What was a childhood dream that you never got to acknowledge? Don’t worry if you think it’s too late.

 

What is one thing you’ve never done but secretly wish you could?

 

What is one of your company goals that you feel is too lofty?

 

What is a mission or project that you believe is too difficult to complete and that you are certain would fail?

 

You know, it’s the obstacles you’d rather stop, the ones that cause you to procrastinate, that will lead you to your greatest achievement and turn you into your best self.

 

Setting unrealistic goals for yourself is the only way to inspire the team to do something they don’t believe they are capable of.

 

The thrill will grow stronger, and you’ll reach heights beyond your wildest dreams.

 

I believe no dream is too far-fetched. You can do anything if you dare to imagine it!

 

And I’d be happy to help you get there!
