Ever have something sitting right in front of you but you can’t (or won’t bring yourself) to see it?
And once you do see it, it’s such a “duh” moment you kick yourself for not being able to recognize it until now?
I finally connected some dots recently and my epiphany was this: I perform at my peak when I have a coach.
I used to be a competitive cyclist, an ultra-runner, and a semi-decent (in my age group, at least) marathoner. When looking back on those activities and seeing where I didn’t meet my desired goals or sustained injury, it was always when I was trying to go it alone – plowing forward without a coach to help guide me.
The times I achieved my utmost successes – competing at nationals, finishing 100-mile running races among the top of my age group, and running pretty fast marathons injury-free – were always when I had a coach on board to guide my efforts and celebrate my achievements with me.
The same can be said (for me) in both business and life.
When I have a team in which I am invested on board to provide feedback, hold me accountable, and push me to my limits without breaking – I perform much more strongly than when I fly solo.
So whatever you are seeking in life: to be a more effective leader, build your business to a target revenue goal, run your best race, be a better husband, be able to see (and stay on) the path to your dreams, help your kids navigate the world more effectively… a coach can help get you there.
