A coach once asked me a shocking question in a Strategy Session. She said: “When will I know that I’ve failed at this and should just go get a job?”

All sorts of thoughts and feelings went through my mind – mostly sadness because it felt like she’d given up on herself before she had even launched her coaching business. But I understood where she was coming from.

We went on to have an excellent coaching conversation. And her takeaway is really important for all coaches in the first 3 years of their coaching business …

Success is not an all or nothing proposition.

No one reaches their full potential and ultimate success in one step or even 10 steps or even 100 steps. If we did, we’d all be miserable, arrogant louts who would spend the rest of our days doing nothing because … what’s the point? 

Everyone, including the most famous successful people in the world found the success you know about by:

1.    Trying something

2.    Making mistakes

3.    Getting frustrated

4.    Trying something with a better mindset or approach

5.    Having incremental wins and failures.

Success is staying the course, marshaling your mindset and finetuning your approach.

And here’s something else you might know deep down but have forgotten. A business owner doesn’t reach the pinnacle and stay there. You reach a pinnacle and might be able to coast for a while, and then you are asked to innovate and make new shifts to find your growth cycle.

By telling you this, what I’m hoping is that you’ll stop comparing yourself to others, raise awareness of where you are appropriately on the developmental path and be patient with the process while also having unstoppable determination.

And that’s the first of the eight smart moves to become a coach in high demand:

#1 Ask Yourself Repeatedly for Patience and Determination

Anything worth doing takes time. Look, this is YOUR time, your gig. You are privileged to be able to launch your own business and to help other people do their hard but worthwhile thing.

Prove to yourself that you can stay the course even during times when there’s no proof that anything is happening.

Be honest …

·      You are DONE with working for someone else!

·      Tell yourself you WILL
