subject: The Importance Of A Coach [print this page] As you go through life, you will meet people that have done what you want to do in life. Theyve made it! You know deep in your heart that if they can do it then you can too. So, how do you get to that level of success? Get a coach! Thats right invest in someone who has done what you want to do in life. If you want to become successful in business, then nd a coach that has made millions of dollars by building a business. DO NOT hire a coach that has never achieved success in their eld! Let me give you some examples of what you should look for in a coach.
Condent A coach must be condent that he can teach you to become successful in your eld because he has already done it. Condence comes through struggles and failures that ultimately lead to success.
Open A coach must be willing to tell you the truth even when the truth hurts. Sometimes its very difcult to see that you are standing in your own way of success. A true coach will bring this to your attention.
Admirable If you dont respect the coach for what he has done in his career or personal life, then you most likely dont want to hire him. A coach should be full of integrity and well respected among his peers. Its hard to be coached by someone that you dont look up to or even consider to be a professional in the eld.
Consistent A coach must be consistent with the strategies that he is teaching. You will see many coaches that jump from idea to idea because what they are doing hasnt worked for their clients. Ask your coach for references so that you can see if he has helped others implement strategies that have led to success.
Healthy Yes, thats right. A coach should lead a healthy, happy life. You shouldnt have to hear about how bad his day was or how much he doesnt get along with his wife. You want a coach that has a balanced lifestyle that enables him to help you with your obstacles and not concentrate on his own issues.
These are just a few things to consider when looking for that right coach that will assist you in achieving your Why in life. I challenge you to set a goal of hiring a personal coach, but be sure to nd the right one for you!
