I didn’t feel right about offering coaching without investing in coaching for myself. How could that be kosher?
Yes, pay me for coaching…but I’m not willing to pay for coaching myself.
Hmmmm…
Yeah. That’s a recipe for attracting non committal clients and I can’t afford it’s!
Even though I did eventually invest in a coach, I had first consumed the mother load of freebies and
…consumed piles of PDFs
…watched webinar after webinar
…signed up for free calls like they were going out of style
But with all these bite size tactics, dozens of different “I have the answer” promises, my brain spun in overwhelm and kept me stagnant with so many half dug holes and projects still searching for the glue to piece it all together.
Consuming all these how to’s satisfied my craving for growth and learning, and to be honest, kept me safe from the real work.
It wasn’t until I took a big leap of faith and invested in myself in coaching and a program that I gained clarity on what the heck I was meant to be doing.
So, yeah, it’s possible to piece together a bundle of resources and see some growth in your business, but if you can streamline your to do list, shorten your learning curve and fast track your business growth, why would you ever want to go without help, direction and accountability.
Why would you want to keep working on it when you could be living on your own terms?
Why fight for your limitations when you can take a stand for your desires?
Why block yourself from the easiest and fastest path when you can be open and get on the fast track path to the least resistance?
Why consume when you can create?
With this in mind, what is the question that is top of mind for you right now?
Is it framed from limitation? Or is it open to possibility and expansion?
Because when you ask better questions you will get better answers.
The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions.
If you’re asking yourself:
Why hasn’t this happened for me yet?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why is it working for her and not me?
What am I missing?
Think about flipping the script to…
My time is now.
(You can even insert one of my favourite prayers from the Course in Miracles, “Where would You have me go? What would You have me do? What would You have me say, and to whom?”)
What can I do today to move me forward?
I create my reality and today I choose ___________.
What we envy in others, we withhold from ourselves. So if you catch yourself asking questions like “Why is it working for her and not me?”
Notice that you are withholding that from yourself. Bless them. Celebrate in their success. Consider it to be evidence of what is possible for you.
Pay attention to their success stories. Nobody at the top got there on their own.
As you learn to ask better questions and step into a place of possibility, you’ll get better answers.
When you get better answers, take action on them and give freely with your talents you’ll see a shift in your current reality.
Tell me, what is a new empowering question you will ask yourself each day? Post it in the comments and let me know what it is.
The question I ask myself while journaling every morning is “How can I serve?“
