The Mindset Coach

We all have days when we feel like we can tackle anything. Nothing is out of reach, and you’re ready to take action and achieve your goals. Of course, we all have opposite days too, when we don’t feel like doing anything. Perhaps you’re tired, bored, procrastinating, or simply not “feeling it”. Whatever the case, it can be really difficult to take action when you feel unmotivated.

Please don’t feel bad about it. You’re human like the rest of us, and we’re not designed to be in the “action state” every second of every day. Sometimes, we need to rest, recuperate, and come back ready to take action when we’re ready.

However, if you find yourself continually struggling to take action, I can help. If you’re running a coaching business, you need to be as productive as possible for as long as possible. Coaching can be a demanding career, and the consequences of not taking action are usually not in your best interests.

So, how can you motivate yourself to take action when you don’t feel like it?

I answer this question in this episode of The Mindset Coach. I also share top tips to help you do the things you need to do, even when you don’t feel like doing them.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why it’s completely normal to feel unmotivated to take action sometimes
• Why you must understand the action you need to take
• How to increase the likelihood that you’ll keep taking action and not give up along the way
• How to use ‘The 5 Second Rule’ to motivate yourself to be productive
• How to motivate yourself to work on the tasks you’ve been putting off
• Four key questions to ask yourself when you feel unmotivated
• How to change your mindset around taking action when you don’t feel like it

You can’t always predict what’s right around the corner. Take 2020, for example. Nobody knew that a global pandemic would disrupt the world as we knew it, and many business owners were blindsided by it.

I was amazed by the incredible resilience and agility of business owners, as they pivoted their products and services online to overcome the disruption. Channels like Zoom, social media, and other online platforms exploded with people utilizing them to connect with clients like never before.

These platforms are fantastic for maintaining connection, and even deliver products and services in some cases. But we are pouring our data into sites that don’t belong to us. What happens to that data if something goes wrong?

My online business recently faced a huge, unforeseen challenge. In retrospect, I could have taken further action to safeguard my business and possibly prevent it from happening. So, in this episode of The Mindset Coach, I’m going to share what happened, along with practical tips to help you protect your online business.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why you should safeguard your online business against cyberattacks
• How to prepare your online business for the unexpected
• What you can do in the event of a cyberattack
• 5 tips for securing your online accounts
• … and so much more!

As a coach, helping your clients achieve their desired results is paramount in both establishing and maintaining credibility in the marketplace. Therefore, you need to have the skills and capabilities to reach your potential and help your clients reach theirs. If you lack the skill, knowledge, or ability to help your clients achieve their goals, your reputation, credibility, and mindset will suffer.

Not being able to help clients create the transformation they wanted when they signed up for you to be their coach leads to self-doubt. When self-doubt sets in, it impacts your self-efficacy. You begin to doubt your own abilities, and this can lead to imposter syndrome.

One of the best ways to dig yourself out of this hole of self-doubt is to focus on harnessing your existing skills and developing your capabilities. In this episode of The Mindset Coach, we’ll explore just how important your own level of skill and capability is. We’ll also dig into your own perception of your skills and capabilities and begin to work on ways to develop skills and capabilities for success as a coach.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why you should reflect on your lifetime achievements
• How to create an achievement log
• How to identify gaps within your business or within your own set of skills
• How to close gaps by improving your skills and capabilities
• The importance of knowing how to sell your products and services
• Why you should use existing resources to help develop your skills
• … and so much more!

You might not realise it, but your environment has a huge role to play in your success. Your environment consists of your surroundings, and what (or who) occupies those surroundings. By setting your environment up for success, you’ll find it much easier to embrace new opportunities and drive real success for you, your business, and your future.

If your environment isn’t right, it is not conducive to achieving your goals. Staying in the wrong environment for too long can lead to procrastination, overwhelm, and difficulty taking action and fulfilling plans.

So, how can you make sure that your environment is built for success?

I share some practical tips to help you create an environment for success in this episode of The Mindset Coach podcast. I’ll take you through some of the steps and decisions you can make to ensure your environment fully supports your goals and desires.

I hope these tips help you create an environment that stimulates your mind and empowers you to achieve your biggest goals!

Do you want to set yourself up for success this year?

Last year might not have been the year you hoped for. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t turn things around for yourself and your coaching practice this year. There are things you can start doing right now that will help you prepare for the year ahead and set yourself up for success.

Whenever a new year begins, I always take time to review the year that has just passed. The reason why is because I believe reflecting on the past year helps us to see what we did right, what we can improve, and what we can do to ensure further success throughout the new year.

How do you gain credibility as a coach?

Credibility is vastly important when it comes to coaching. After all, who doesn’t want to be respected as a credible coach within their niche?
