Making Your Goals Happen!

Hello my friends,

2010 is in full swing and have you set your goals yet?? We all have some type of goals that we have for ourselves. Maybe it is to lose weight, get a new car, find a new job, buy a home, write a book, learn Spanish etc. We all have them in some form.

How often do we actually accomplish our goals? We may start out nice and strong for the first couple weeks of the year then something derails us and we never really get back on track.

Here are a few quick tips to help you accomplish those goals:

1. Write them down - Writing down your goals sends a message out to the Universe that you are serious about accomplishing your goals.

2. Set Completion Dates - Next to each goal write down a date and TIME that you will complete the goal by. Adding the date and time makes that intention with the Universe even stronger. You begin immediately attracting your goal!

3. Make them visible - Put them in a place that you will see them every day. I was talking with someone yesterday that said she carries around a notebook with her goals in that she looks at daily. This is a great idea! You could also do things like hang them on the fridge, or on the mirror. You can even get creative and do things like hang pictures above your bed of $100,000 if your goal is to make that amount this year. Get creative! Live your dreams and goals!

4. Accountability Partner- Find someone that is going to hold you accountable to your goals. I recommend someone that is not super close to you that would allow you to sluff or let you justify it if you do. It could be someone like a Life Coach, Personal Trainer, Mentor, etc. Set up times to touch base with them weekly or multiple times weekly if needed.

5. Keep going - If you get off track for a bit, do not let that discourage you. Don't make yourself wrong. Just get back up and keep going! You can accomplish anything you set your mind on! I promise!

I read in The Success Principles by Jack Canfield that when you do some of the items above and make your goals a part of your daily life your mind will begin finding the ways to get you there. It may not always be the way you anticipated, but you will get there. It's similar to when you buy something you start noticing all of a sudden everyone else that has it too.

What are your goals? I would love to hear and help support you in accomplishing those goals and making 2010 the best year yet!

Love! Freedom! Power!

So what is Life Coaching Anyways?

Hello Friends!

I am sure many of you have heard of Life/Career/Executive Coaching somewhere along the way. I am also sure many of you are asking yourselves, so what is this Life Coaching thing all about? Could I benefit from it?

Let me ask you this first; have you ever had a coach, music teacher, role model or a teacher growing up that you considered a mentor? What did this person do for you? Did they guide you in your interest? Challenge you? Push you to be your best? Maybe sometimes they even asked things of you that you just didn't believe that you could achieve. All the while the simple fact that they believed in you created a desire in you to be your best and before you knew it you were doing things you never thought possible.

Much like the above scenario, coaching is a partnership between the coach and the client where dreams, desires, and goals are objectively supported and challenged resulting in a positive, forward-moving experience for the client. Coaching provides a confidential judgment free atmosphere to explore your authenticity, restore your integrity, and live a more fulfilling life.

We all have goals we would like to achieve, right?

The beauty in coaching is that you have someone there to cheer you on, support you and challenge you in order to accomplish all your desires. A coach is not there telling you how they think YOU should live YOUR life. The best way I heard it put recently is that a coach is not paving the path for your life they are helping you to remove all the obstacles along the path to the life you desire.

Before you ask your next question, let me explain briefly how this all works.

As a coach I have come to a place in my life where I truly believe that where everyone is at in there lives is the perfect place, that they make the best decisions for them, and that they are simply perfect as they are. I also acknowledge that many of us have goals and dreams that we are striving towards. I believe that you are capable of anything you set out to accomplish. ANYTHING!

As a coach I will promise the following:

I ask the obvious questions. My intention is to understand my clients needs, values and feelings and for them to understand these as well. This helps to ensure you are having all your needs met.

I am honest with my clients and will tell them what I think is going on and will stretch them to do more than they would do on their own. Through powerful questioning many clients will come to those "ah ha" moments creating lasting shifts in their lives.

I will hold my clients accountable to their desires and support them in moving forward with these desires, no matter how scary or impossible it may seem. I will be there for my clients.

My overall intention is for my clients to be acknowledged, truly listened to and empowered to make the changes they desire in their life, changes that will create a more fulfilling life for them.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, have an interest in coaching or know anyone that is interested. I would love to hear how I can help support others in accomplishing their goals!
