Do you have an important goal or project that you just can’t seem to get started on?
You know you need to get this done – it’s an important step toward creating the coaching business and the life you’ve always wanted to live – but every time you put it on your calendar, you end up replacing it with smaller, easier, but less significant tasks. Something else always comes up, and you keep on telling yourself that you’ll do it on a day when you’re a bit less busy.
This is a problem that frequently plagues people who are trying to build new and better lives, especially if what they’re trying is completely new to them. I recently heard from a young entrepreneur who had been hesitating to launch her first major product. She’d just gone into business for herself earlier that year, and while she was acquiring huge amounts of knowledge, she was hesitating to put it into practice.
Assembling knowledge, making sure everything was perfect, and not moving forward until it was… that was her comfort zone. But as the saying goes, “A comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing ever grows there.”
So, how did this young businesswoman get unstuck and start moving forward?
She connected with a life coach and a business coach, and started having weekly coaching calls with them. Every week, they would discuss her plans, and formulate action steps. Because she had this accountability, she felt compelled to take these action steps each week, whereas before she could potentially have kept putting them off indefinitely.
Studies have shown that people who make New Years resolutions are far more likely to stick to them if those resolutions are specific, tangible, and made known to another person. Those who must regularly check in with their accountability partner are far more likely to take consistent action than those whose plans (and procrastination!) are known only to them.
Do you have an accountability partner? Or, even better, a mentor? An accountability partner with whom you speak regularly can help keep you in action, but a mentor can also help you ensure that the action you take is the most effective use of your time and effort, so you can move forward with confidence and certainty, knowing you’re on the right track.
Here’s to always having the support you need!

I really like what you guys are up too. This type of clever work and
coverage! Keep up the very good works guys I’ve included
you guys to my blogroll.
I’m very happy to uncover this page. I wanted to thank
you for your time just for this wonderful read!! I definitely loved every bit of it
and i also have you book-marked to see new
stuff in your blog.
You actually make it appear really easy together with
your presentation but I to find this topic to be really one thing which I feel I’d never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am having a
look forward to your subsequent post, I will try to get the dangle
of it!
Hi Adrian,
I hope you are having a great day and thank you for your comment!
I see what you are saying…. however, sometimes we see things more complicated than what they really are. My advise is to do what you can, from where you are, with what you have to be on your way to living the life you love living and know that you are FAR greater than any circumstance you might be facing!
Stay tuned!
