Coach Yourself to Success
The importance of work right now, when money is less available than we are accustomed to, when all around us people are being made redundant, has multiple facets.
The most obvious reason is that you want to keep money coming in, even if it’s only a small amount; and when we work, not only are we making money but we may be inclined to spend less because we’re busy.
Secondly, when we’re working, whatever work we do, gives us a sense of purpose. And when some areas of our lives feel out of control, especially financially, having something to get up for in the mornings can help us maintain a sense of normality and balance internally.
Thirdly, when we have a job, whatever that job may be, it can sometimes give us a sense of identity, even if it’s not our most desired job, or our planned career, it still tends to give us a feeling that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.
The more a person feels in charge of his life, in control of what is going on, the person feels more motivated to take action, more optimistic, more confident.
These are a few tips of what you can do right now, to coach yourself and keep yourself motivated, optimistic and confident:
1. Focus on what is available for you to get into a job of some sort. Review your CV, look at adverts in your local paper, the Internet, national newspapers and recruitment agencies.
2. Think outside your usual box; ask yourself again and again, “What would I be willing to do just to tide things over for now?” Be flexible with your thinking. If you’ve got people skills you could look at sales opportunities, if you’ve got computer skills you could look at administration roles, if you want flexible hours you can look for places that use shift workers. There’s plenty out there if you set your mind to making this happen.
3. Change your mind set. This is the most important tip of all. If you can convince yourself that you can do this, you will. If you can identify good reasons to do this, you will. If you can see yourself succeeding in doing this, you will. The attitude you have towards this will either make this work or not, and this part is totally within your control.
When you start to take action, you’ll see that things start to happen around you.
My biggest tip: Take Action Now!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
