Positioning Your Nest???

I was weeding the side garden when I saw it. The nest was lying on its side on the stone path. We’d had a major thunderstorm, rain and high winds the night before. I guessed that the nest must have fallen out the protective arms of the twelve foot tall arborvitae. I hunted around for little blue eggs and I spotted one under a leaf, and then another close by, they were both cracked. I looked up in the sky hoping that the parents were close by.

The last time I saw a nest this close up was when I was very young. My brother and I?were always outside exploring, digging and gathering leaves and flowers. I remember one summer afternoon we found a nest on the ground with a baby bird. My mother, the school nurse,?helped us feed it with an eye dropper filled with sugar water. After a few days of trying to save it, it died. We put it in a Stride Rite shoebox and buried it in a hole on the side of our house.

Yesterday, as I held the tiny nest in my hands, I noticed that the foundation was constructed of twigs and small branches, forming a sturdy base. The inside of the nest was lined?with softer materials, grass, leaves, moss, and even a pink hair ribbon providing for a cozy and comfortable interior for the eggs. The weave was secure and seamless, a beautiful example of nature’s ingenuity and the tireless efforts of this remarkable mother robin.

The robin's nest reminds me of a foundation for a successful coaching business. Like the softer materials in the nest, a nurturing system gives your prospects a place to be nurtured and warmed up, just like the eggs. As the hatching process begins and prospects become clients, you get to teach them how to fly, just like the mama robin. Even if you have a strong foundation, if you don't position your business in a way to withstand "out of control events", your business could fall and be blown away, just like the nest, and then you don't help anybody.

Luckily, I have a solution for that:)
