Coaching is about being your best. It's about performance, about "staying
the course" and, in the end, about creating and living the life you really
want! Coaches can help people make more money, win the gold medal or do
something dramatic that would have been difficult for them to accomplish on
their own. But most importantly, coaching is about living up to your own
standards and abilities. It is, in Henry David Thoreau's famous words,
about "marching to the beat of your own drum, no matter how faint or far
away."
So, do I recommend you have a personal coach? Of course I do! But nobody
knows you better than YOU, so why not be your own coach?! Here are a few
suggestions:
1. Write Down Your Goals.
Review and re-write them once a week. This is old advice, but there is
power and magic in writing your goals on paper! A path seemingly clears and
makes success much more attainable when you have written goals. Write them
down, then review them, think about them, and up-date them every week.
(Financial, Family, Travel, Educational, Personal Development) It may only
take 20 minutes, but it will double your rate of success, I guarantee it!
2. Show Up!
Many of life's most important achievements simply require that we show up,
pay attention, tell the truth, work hard, go the extra mile, and do our
best! Superior performance is not about the future, or the past. It's about
doing a superior job right now, on the work that lies right in front of
you. Remember, the difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that
little “extra”!
3. Eliminate Distractions.
Keep your eye on the ball. Life is full of frustrations and distractions.
Successful people do NOT tolerate the things that drive most crazy – they
take the time to stop, solve the problem and eliminate the distraction once
and for all. Stay focused!
4. Manage Your Environment.
Top performers know that space management is more important than time
management. They have neat offices, clean cars, orderly appointment books,
and they keep an extra suit at the office, just in case. Make your office
(and your home) a space where you can do your very best work.
5. Read Every Day.
Read something useful, challenging or fun every day. Even if you only spend
20 minutes with a book that motivates, excites and educates you, it will
make a world of difference in a very short time. I promise! Aim to read at
least one book every month! When you start to see the results, you will
automatically want to start reading more!
I highly recommend (for starters) Think and Grow Rich, by Napolean Hill,
and Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki.
