The first trait of a great coach is the ability to listen and help you clarify your goals and vision in all areas of your life. Earl Nightingale, the famous speaker, stated we are goal-seeking organisms. Our purpose is to set and achieve goals in life. The difficulty for people is not in achieving their goals, but setting them in the first place. The second trait of a successful coach is guiding you to understand that all goals must have deadlines.
Deadlines get one s juices and thoughts flowing to create the desired result.
It is because of the deadline that the activity increases and things begin to happen. Determine effective deadlines for all areas of your business. A great coach will take the goals and vision you set for yourself and teach you to achieve them. Even the big projects that seem like mountains can be broken down into bite size pieces, which are called daily disciplines. We worked diligently to break down into bite-size pieces what he needed to accomplish in order to achieve his goal.
