The Coach with the Best Inner Game Wins

Written by: Rhonda Hess

Article Overview: You have the power to be a highly successful coach whether you realize it or not! Read on to find out how to put everything into perspective and develop yourself into the super successful winner you were meant to be.

The Coach with the Best Inner Game Wins

Why do some coaches fill their practice with ideal clients in a few months, while others may take years? I’ve been studying this a long time. And, rarely is the answer what you might think.

- It’s not that they are more skillful coaches.

- It’s not that they have more experience in marketing or know all the right people.

- It’s not that they have a slick website or say the perfect words to prospects.

- It’s not even the niche market they’ve chosen.

It comes down to the way they value themselves.

Start with a Powerful Inner Game

We are all intrinsically valuable from the moment we come into this world. We are enough, just as we are. And that value does not diminish with time but grows as we learn to express our true essence. Sure, smart strategies, new skills and savvy marketing can help.

But it’s buffing up the inner game that makes an ordinary person into a winner.

To translate that into coaching business success:

1. Know that you are valuable (pricelessly so!) just as you are. Do what it takes to accept this truth about yourself.

2. Show that you value your time and your services, in every way you do business, from the way you think, to the way you speak, to the fees and standards you set.

3. Then, play a bigger game. Get the word out to prospects about the highly valuable services you offer.

This is about building true prosperity from the inside out. With that powerful light shining from you, your ideal clients arrive, your business thrives and other areas of your life get a boost too.
And here’s the thing — a new coach can do this just as well as an experienced one.

Imagine This . . .
- You wake up and choose where to put your attention and energy, moving slowly and deliberately.

- Your focus is on being at the cause of your life rather than the effect.

- You notice the every day riches that come to you just by being alive.

- Challenges don’t grip you like they used to. You’ve learned how to get your ego out of the way and surrender to the grace.

- You know that fears and doubts don’t define your value or your future.

- You bless the income you receive. You earned it, so it’s sacred.

- You pay your bills with equal joy, acknowledging how privileged you are.

- You are full of wonder at people, nature, even the state of the world, because you sense a greater current of strength and love.

- You’ve stopped dreaming about life. You now create the life you want, one step at a time, without attachment to outcome.

I don’t know about you, but writing this I feel more peaceful. This is inner game I’m going for and intend to pass forward to my clients.

Re: Business Coaching Resources - You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses. You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time. You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.
Post subject: Too successful for a mate? - That was an interesting article, Shri! Most of the women I know who continue to be single have some type of self limiting behavior which interferes with them either meeting or attracting the perfect mate for them. They are incredible and talented women, they just haven't set themselves up for relationship success. I know there are men who may be intimidated, but there are also men who aren't. Some men are attracted to smart women! My advice to these women would be to focus on creating the right environment for a relationship to happen. This would be a great time to hire a Life Coach or Relationship Coach. Taking action to get ready for a relationship doesn't mean having to be aggressive in finding a man. It's more subtle. If you don't make room for a man in your life, you might just squeeze out the opportunity before he gets to you. As well, you may be sending off all the wrong signals without realizing it. Seriously, I don't think successful women are off the proverbial "good wife material list". However, if you think yourself off of it then don't be surprised if you fulfill your own prophecy.
Re: I will be away - Hi Guys Thanks for the good wishes. I had a really relaxing time and as soon as I get caught up will upload some pictures of the Big Game we saw on some of the drives. No lion GT as these parks are privately owned and they don't want predators who will eat the herbivores that they have paid a lot of money for . Saw some elephant though and rhino which was great.
