Action v's Delay

Action creates results


What is delaying you from taking action? Is it Fear?

How do we live the life we want to live?

I have even heard people say they are not sure what their goals are.

So one of the most important parts of coaching is to find the clients goal and then get them into action


What is it you want to achieve?

How are you going to get there?

Both good questions and both sometimes quite difficult to answer.

Here is a question we were asked in our course which you will see can make some of us feel uncomfortable but it can get results.

Lets pretend for just this exercise that you have been told you are going to die in one year's time.Write down how you would change your life right now. This was my answer.

Its very difficult to be flippant when you have 2 children and have not got a lot of money. I have also had cancer and lost my sister in law who was given this prognosis. So I have to really go away from that and also pretend money is no object. I know I would want to reassure family and friends around me and be as honest as possible. I would want to leave everyone feeling very able to live on happy. I would travel with my family, husband and kids to visit relatives and friends. I would make sure we had our own independence and space. In between being with them we would visit places just the 4 of us. I would want a year really thinking of us 4 but I would never stop helping people who care around me.

What actions have you been delaying that you could do now towards making your dream come true?
Improve my house so we could rent it out while travelling -therefore generating money.

What action steps can I take to make that happen.

Continue sanding down the floor in the kids room and treating it after. I had a goal of 1 floorboard per day but I am doing about 5 a day. 15 down 30 more to go. Thats only 6 more days. Watch this space for the photo.

Then the skirting boards, then the walls, then the ceiling, buy boxes for organising toys then pick another room. Yeah we are going around the world one day.

Short term v’s long term. Results are in the future so you may have to go through some difficult times in the present for the future to have the results.

So I guess what I am saying is DREAM A LITTLE- don't delay, take some action, believe and you can make your dreams come true. Me too.
