Who's Your Coach?

It has been said that success is a journey and not a destination, and I truly believe that. So, take a moment to reflect on your current journey. Who is on the road to success with you? I'm not talking about your family, your friends, or even your business partners. I am talking about that person that can push you to greatness. Think about successful athletes at the top of their game...Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. Have you ever thought about what makes these two athletes champions?

Did you know that Michael Jordan wasn't a born champion? In fact, he didn't even make his high school basketball team when he tried out. Yet, he didn't stop at rejection. He overcame rejection and became the best! Look at Tiger Woods. What makes him so great? He practices 100 consecutive six-foot putts everynight before he goes to bed. If he misses one, he starts over. It's clear that both of these athletes have desire and commitment to be successful, but they also share one thing alongside all champions...a COACH!

Sometimes desire and commitment is not enough to be successful. The key component most success seekers are missing is a Coach. Why do you need a Coach?
  • A Coach will help you see things you would've normally missed or simply avoided.
  • A Coach will make you focus and commit to a plan or strategy.
  • A Coach will push you to run an extra mile even when it hurts to pull greatness out of you.
  • A Coach will be direct and honest no matter what the situation is.
  • A Coach will share tips based on years of experience.
  • A Coach will listen to you when no one else will.
  • A Coach will help you develop a plan or strategy that will allow you to become more profitable.
  • A Coach will help you develop into the best person you can be.
Now that you have the full recipe for success, it's time to take action. Who is your Coach?
