the difference

As a coach, I see brilliant clients, all keen for positive change. But not all of them get to where they want to be.

The major difference?  The ones that get there are the ones that do the work.

They’re the ones who go away and do the thinking, who do the journaling, who make the lists, who write the letters, who do the research, who make the calls, who embrace the challenges, who challenge discomfort, who make the small steps, who take the big leaps.

They’re the ones who email me or call me or [even better!] see me in person three weeks, three months, three years down the track and thank me for everything I did.

And I laugh and remind them that they did all the work, they made it happen, they shifted their own lives.

And the other folk? They’re the ones who contact me three years later and say they’re still where they were and they’re still unhappy. They’re the ones who say they want to try again [yes! terrific!]

It’s simple: if you want to change your life, do what you say you’re going to do.
