YOUR OWN COACH


giſt is transferable into other industries, professions or business options. In many of my speaking engagements I spoke of the athlete that wants to be in the starting lineup but can’t. Tere are a variety of reasons why they can’t. Sometimes it’s because the roster is full, then what do you do? Can we say learn to look at things


differently! When it relates to fitness or sports you have to always stay in shape and that keeps you ready, but what’s wrong with trying to be as assistant to the coach, or the assistant coach, or a sports therapist, or a sports journalist, or even a mascot. Tat’s 5 different options if you’re not able to fulfill your primary option. IT KEEPS YOU IN THE GAME! You may possibly never fill that primary need, but what would you prefer? I’d rather be CLOSER to the action or rather be COMPLETELY OUT of the action.


CRITICAL IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS


Sometimes you have to NOT be your own best friend . . . You may have to be your own COACH! I'm not talking about a rah, rah session I'm talking about a Vince Lombardi kick but coach. Can you do it! Will you do it? C'mon man (in my Obama voice), if it's to be it's really up to you! Allow me to elaborate further. If you


think that you can council yourself, more than likely you cannot. A wise man never seeks his own council, however as it relates to decision-making. Tat is something you should be in charge of. Day by day you should make decisions


that move you towards your best end result. I went to a conference that was amazing! It was my 3rd time at the Full Trotle Experience. I atended the conference as a presenter first and as an atendee second. Te learning, the education and insight you gain are second to none at this conference. How would you like to hear and learn


from experts on multiple levels and not miss a beat . . . yes, that’s what it’s like! I’m

talking about Peak Performance, Change, Social Media, Fitness, etc . . . I've been in the training and speaking space for 17 years and sometimes you must face the fact that you only know what you know . . . that is the extent of it. It may be solid know how, but it may be limited know how. You see this is what life is all about . . . if you are a lifetime learner. You may heal and help some people


with what you know, but if you upgrade yourself, you can possibly help hundreds, or thousands more, perhaps a nation or a national movement. Tat's why many of us need a coach, trainer or mentor (it’s the upgrade calling our name). Tese are some of the vitamins of life and of business. Tis chapter isn't about coaching; don't get me wrong that is important. Just in case you were wondering how you


can possibly help thousands more . . . it’s simple. When you find the space you’re to be in—go deep. I mean you learn everything that you’re supposed to learn. You literally become the (SME) subject mater expert and spread your message everywhere. However there are so many hours


in the day and only so many years in a lifetime. That’s when you’ll learn to leverage Periscope, Facebook live, Google hangout, Live Stream and other live streaming platforms. You write books about your expertise, you’ll create DVD programs, CD programs, and virtual programs. The list is only limited by your creativity and innovation. Tis is more about you the individual


(YOU). If you can't be critical (in a honest and constructive way) coaches will either take advantage of you or you will waste more time than what's needed with certain aspects of the coaching process. It's not an indication that your personal or business life is falling apart, but you must consider it in order to move forward in life because if you don't...I'm afraid at some point you will be on a tread mill trying to fill a void in your life with
