The Power of a Coach

I have some exciting news to share with you.

Before I get to that, I want to touch on a subject I have been investing in this past year. You may have heard me talk about it once or twice but Samantha (my wife) and I hired a coach to help us in our journey. I knew that having a coach was a great idea but I had no idea the massive impact it would have on my life.?

What is Coaching?

Coaching is when someone, typically of more experience, helps guide and support an individual in achieving specific personal or professional goals. The best part about a coach is that they get to look from the outside in. No matter how hard we try to remove ourselves and look at our situation from an outside perspective, we will always have some bias. A coach, on the other hand, will not. Removing biases, emotions, etc. is the best way to make successful business decisions.?

Benefits of Coaching

Though the list of benefits from coaching could go on and on, I will touch on the three that stand out to me - establishing goals, outside perspective, and accountability.?

Establishing goals with a coach is not pulling out a sheet of paper and writing down what you want to accomplish in the next three months, six months, a year, and so on. If you are investing in a coach, you hopefully already know those. A coach helps to create a roadmap and a clear vision for achieving specific goals. Sometimes we want to bite off more than we can chew. A coach helps to set realistic goals that align with the path we want to take but are also challenging. A clear vision is one of the keys to finding success.

The next benefit, which I touched on briefly earlier, is an outside perspective. Sometimes we think the way we are currently doing things is the best way yet another person can come in and instantly point out multiple reasons it is incorrect - the power of perspective. Looking at something from a new perspective can lead to a change in perception. Perception is the way you think about or understand something. Your perception holds a lot of power over your perspective so having that unbiased, outside point of view is a massive part of success.?

The last benefit I am going to focus on today is accountability. We all have things that we either do not want to do or just outright neglect to do. What if that one thing is what is holding you back from achieving massive success? You will never know, however, a coach (with that outside perspective) may see what you are neglecting and know the importance of doing it. That is where the accountability piece comes in. A coach understands the consequences of doing (or not doing) something and ensures you stay on the right track to achieving success.?

Why?

So why did I share all of this with you today? Well, as I said at the beginning, I have some exciting news. We officially have our first speaker set for 2023 Rise & Record. This speaker is one of the most well-known coaches - coaching top athletes, business executives, entertainers, and many others from all walks of life. He is the best-selling author of multiple books, his most recent being “The Miracle Mentality.” If you haven’t guessed already, our first speaker is Tim Storey! We are so excited for Tim to be a part of Rise & Record and know that he will bring massive value to everyone in the room.?

I hope to see YOU at Rise & Record 2023!

Best,
