As 2023 drew to an end I set myself a goal to launch my own coaching business by the beginning of January. Like millions of people across the world I chose the prospect of a new year to make this new start. January the month that sees gyms rammed and social media overwhelmed with people sharing their ambitious new year goals to get thinner, fitter, healthier, change jobs, take up a new hobby…
Roll on February and I’m dragging my feet. Whilst I’m still to get going others have made a change and subsequently slipped right back to where they started, or worse the rebound effect has them going backwards. So what went wrong? Goals are good right? Aren’t people who set goals in their personal or professional life more successful? True, however for a goal to be successful it has to be the right goal for you at the right time. It has to align with your core values, so you need to know what those core values are. It needs to be what you want for yourself, not what you believe others expect of you. Your dreams can be as big or as small as you want them to be, but you need to be driven to achieve them and the steps that take you there should be in increments that you know you can commit to, so that you will keep moving forward. Being successful isn’t complicated or complex, or even time bound, it is available to anyone at any time. And this is why I love coaching.
I did launch my new website in January (not the 1st), however it is now as we step into February that I feel truly ready. Are you?
