Can a Coach help you to achieve Success?

Coach is commonly found in the sports world. I would say all professional players, no matter which sports they are in, have their own coach or a lot of them coaches. Now, have you wondered why a world-class player such as Tiger Woods would still need a coach? Do you think that the coach can be a better golf player than him? I don’t think so. But, why does he spends millions of dollars to get someone who cannot play as well as him to be his coach? He must be crazy, right?

No. He is not crazy because he knows that Coaching is a MUST for him to succeed in his game. So are all the successful sports players. Now let’s look at ourselves. Do you want to achieve success? By now, if you go through the previous learning videos and lessons, you should know what your success is, right? If not, stop reading now and go back to the first post and go through the whole learning again. Knowing what success is for you is the most important thing for you to be successful. If you don’t know what success means to you then how do you know whether you are successful or not. It is like you want to take a trip but you don’t know where are you going to. In that case, do you think you can reach your destination? No. Because you don’t even have a destination.

Now, if you already know your destination and you have work out your plan like I show you using the templates that are in the member’s download area, then now it is time to take action. However, do you sometimes get busy and suddenly you are going back to the same old way of doing things, instead of doing something different that will help you move towards your success. There’s a saying, “Old Habits Die Hard”. It is not easy to eliminate an old habit and also not easy to develop a new habit. That’s why we all need a coach as well to help remind us when we divert from our improvement roadmap and give us a kick if we stop doing what’s right. Do you agree?

I was introduced to coaching many years ago and I even took the professional coaching certification to learn about coaching and at the same time, I also work with a number of coaches to help me to achieve my goals. And, I can gladly tell you that I never regret engaging a coach to work with me because since I have someone to coach me, I actually successfully achieve more of my goals than before.

Now if you do not know what coaching is. Here’s a short video to show you what it is:

So, now your assignment for this week is to go out and find someone who shares the same interest with you wanting to improve or kaizen themselves (you can tell them about personal kaizen or the best way is to ask them to subscribe to this Success Moments and go through these lessons) and get him or her to be your coach. Your job for this week is very easy only, just to get someone agree to your coach and you can offer to be his or her coach in return.

For the next lesson, I will give you more tips on how to coach each other to be successful in a simple way.
