Two weeks ago, I shared with my Mastermind that I was in a down space; my coaching practice was down and my finances were very down.

This was the feedback -- They could tell; they could hear it in my voice. Then they told me I needed to hire a source, a coach. I AM a coach, but I've been without a coach for several years. And any coach will tell you to have a coach - particularly if you're a coach.

It was the perfect advice. I found a superb coach. She saw that I was missing my connection to Spirit. I knew everything. I have an old cartoon by Herb Gardner: "I am so smart I make myself sick." And, as Werner Erhard says: Understanding is the booby prize.

I think that - for the first time, I've actually been coachable. She had me call my old clients and ask them to assess me - positive and negative. The feedback has been wonderful. I've recovered myself. I thought my life is about making a difference. It is, but I've left out myself.

Yes, the coach is superb. But it was my Mastermind group that was willing to say the harsh realities that motivated me. You just don't know what a group can provide.
