"yes and no"

No, we can't succeed completely on our own. We need support, coaching, people on our team, etc. We need to leverage the wisdom and experience of other people in order to "short cut" the learning curve. We need other people to believe in us in those moments when we've given up on ourselves.

Sometimes we even need divine intervention!

But, the answer is ultimately "yes"! We can and ultimately if we do succeed (at our personal goals) we do so on our own. We are the ones who must make our decisions, attract and hire the right support for ourselves, seek out and pay for the "short cut" advice and training, etc.

"If it's to be, it's up to me"

That's why if my clients thank me for helping them reach their goals, I always take some of the credit, but ultimately shift it back to the client, because at the end of the day, they are the ones "making it happen". They are the ones who put themselves on the line and really go for it.

There are plenty of people in this world that "talk a good game" vs. the "few who do". The ones that get up early if they need to, or spend their hard earned money to learn what they need to know.

Wherever you are in your coaching business, you're already a success for showing up and getting into the game (In my opinion, the greatest game ever played). You're already a success for having taken the steps that have gotten you this far along your path.

Now I'm asking you to take another step further. For you to achieve the next level of success for yourself and your coaching business, you're going to need to dig a little deeper and grow a little bigger (maybe even a lot bigger).

This thing we do called coaching isn't just a hobby, or a career, or a business, it's *who we are* and we aim to change the world! We're not here to make a tiny difference, we're here to ROCK the world.

I want to challenge you right now as you're reading these words to think bigger. I want you to imagine your coaching business times 10! Whatever that is for you, I want you to see it and I want you to see how that makes a difference in people's lives; their smiling faces, living their lives with more energy and happiness every day! Then...

I want you to imagine *your business times 10* and notice how YOUR life will be different. How you'll be happier, have more energy, and a better life style to enjoy!

Now, think about the resources that you would love to have to make "Your Coaching Business Times 10" start to become a reality in this world today!

Maybe it's things like...

* sales and marketing training

* top notch coaching for yourself

* a virtual assistant (or even a regular assistant)

* tech support

* a new office

* new computer

* mastermind group

* a personal trainer

Now... make a decision to take action on one of these things... TODAY! Not tomorrow, not next week, today!!!

If you want to create "your coaching business times ten" it isn't going to happen in the future. The future takes shape today, right now.

As soon as you decide to "go for it" and call upon resources from outside yourself to get help with something you want, you start to interact with the world... and the universe responds in powerful and magical ways. But, the universe says, "you first, then me"

You must strike first, then the universe responds.

Go for it!!
