Are you ready for coaching? Take a few moments right now to ask yourself the these questions, and answer them clearly and honestly: Personal Issues: How is your personal life today? Are you content? ...complacent? ...dissatisfied? What's working for you? What's not working for you? -- Do the same problems continually resurface? -- Do you find that you are unable to make the most of all the opportunities in your life? -- Do you have an isolated or "lone ranger" lifestyle? -- Do you find it difficult to establish lasting and fulfilling relationships? -- Do you lack a clear, measurable action plan to fulfill your goals? -- Do you allow your goals and purpose to get sidetracked? -- Do you emotions tend to control you, rather than serve you? -- Do you have undesirable habits that you continue to maintain? -- Do you lack organization and/or structure? -- Does your physical condition not serve you well. -- Does your spiritual connection lack strength and consistency? -- Do you lack inner fulfillment? -- Do you lack a clear financial plan for your future? What would you like to have more of in your personal life? What have you been afraid to ask for? What would you really love to do...but have been afraid to try? What gets in the way of getting the results you want? What changes would you like to make in your if you were unconcerned about resources, finances, ridicule or failure? What are your true dreams, and what is holding you back from living them? Do you have difficulty finding someone you trust who can give you an objective viewpoint and bounce ideas off of? What really important parts of your life are still on your "to do" list...and how much longer are you willing to put them off? Business Issues: How is your professional life today? Are you content? ...complacent? ...dissatisfied? Do you have concerns about your business's profitability? Do you experience roller coaster highs and lows in your business? Is you time spent putting out fires or creating new opportunity? Do the same problems continually resurface? Do you lack organization and/or structure? Do you spend most of your day working "in" your business instead of "on" it? Do you lack a clear, measurable business plan to reach your goals? Do you lack a clear financial plan for your business's future? Do you find that you are unable to make the most of all your business opportunities? Are you running your business...or is your business running you ? Are you experiencing a lack of balance in your life and business? What would you like to have more of in your professional life? What changes would you like to make in your professional life if you were unconcerned about resources, finances, ridicule or failure? Do you have difficulty finding someone you trust who can give you an objective viewpoint and bounce ideas off of? Your answers help to reveal the difference between where you currently are and where you want to be. The other side of the coaching equation is that we can accept only a limited number of personal one-on-one coaching clients, so it is important that they are both ready and sincere in their commitment to our coaching relationship. You also need to make sure you are prepared for what entering a coaching relationship will require of you. Can you sincerely answer "yes" to at least 12 of these questions? I truly believe that living a joyful, balanced life is very important. I am ready, willing, and able to make changes in my life. I am willing to look at my whole truth and share it with my coach. I am willing and prepared to stop or change self-defeating behaviors and/or limiting beliefs. I am open to new ways of doing things and try new approaches. I am ready, willing, and able to invest in myself and the coaching process. I am open learning new ideas and techniques, and have a passion to grow as a person. I am fully willing to be coachable, to do the work, and to let the coach be a coach. I can picture myself as "successful"... and have a good idea of what that looks like. I am willing to make and keep carry out the time commitment necessary to make each coaching appointment, focused, on time, and without distractions during the session I am willing and prepared to complete the weekly homework my coach assigns me. I am ready to set both major and minor goals, and then consistently and persistently work toward them. I am ready to take action to create in my life what I'd like to do, have, and be. I know I don't HAVE to have a coach to succeed...but I'm smart enough to WANT a coach. I am ready to accept responsibility for my own success and happiness in life, rather than expecting anyone else...including my coach...to fix the problems for me. Now is the right time for me to enter into and embrace a coaching relationship. If you are sincerely prepared to commit to the steps you would need to take, if you would like to finally bridge those gaps between where you are and where you want to be, and if you want to get those results more quickly than you would otherwise be able to, then a personal coaching relationship could be very productive for you.
