Coaching and stuff

[Joyce Harrell]

I recently have read many personal development books and have learned about life coaching. I had a session with a life coach yesterday. As I talked to him about my goals and dreams for a very expansive wellness clinic that I have had dreams of opening, he seem to catch a word I used, and we explored it further. I used the word "broad". This was in context to the ideas I have for business. I said my ideas seem to be broad, but they actually have the naturally healthy concept at the core. We explored that idea. What I found out about myself, he said, is typical of many entreprenuers he coaches. So creative. So full of ideas. But, I have found it difficult to focus on just one idea, and bring it to successful completion. So, I agreed with him. I have barely started one idea, when others pop into my head, and before you know it, I am trying to blend all those ideas together. So what am I doing as a result? I am going back to my one focus. And I am going to perfect what I am doing until it is successful. He asked what was I afraid of. My first thought was "fear of rejection and failure". He put out a thought, that maybe instead of fear of failure, maybe it was actually fear of success. And everytime I get close to that success, there is an underlying feeling that I may not be worthy of such success, so I feel I have to add things to make myself more worthy. Very though provoking. Maybe true in many ways. So, there you have it. I am resolved to focus on one aspect of my business right now. And, you know, it brings a certain level of peace...

This is so true. I've recently been listening to a business coach's audio blogs. It has really been causing me to think and refocus. My business has been in a bit of a slump, and part of that is due to my lack of focus on specific aspects of running a business. While I have some classes coming up ( that so far have very few registrations) I am stepping back a little bit to review my business structure and create a more focused business and marketing plan. One that is more practical than theoretical. It is so important to step back, discuss and review what we are trying to do.

All I can say, for now, is; I can relate!!

You are NOT alone. That fear is what keeps most from starting a business and is also what keeps most who do from succeeding. It is the core problem to be resolved. You can have a great idea as well as possess the ability to make it a technical reality. However, taking your spot among those who have made it is a much harder task. It requires honest self reflection and realization. I wrestle that beast all day, every day.

Best wishes to you and your venture.

I find it is best to focus on the one aspect of your business that allows your energy levels to stay positive until you have achieved that goal/aspect for your business. And if that is what works to generate more potential for your business, then focus on that aspect. That aspect could very well be one of your strengths and/or values in life. When we focus on our values and strengths our energy level and thoughts tend to be more positive. This is always good for business:). And sometimes we need to learn how to let go of our limited beliefs. This is not easy, but when we let go of our limitied beliefs, it is so powerful in attracting more of what we want in our lives. One good way to let go of limited belief patterns is through meditation. I have found this to be very helpful: http://www.brainsync.com/pilot.asp?pg=default&affiliate=613508
