Have you ever noticed....? Frank Furness....
I went on a Speaker's Bootcamp this weekend with Frank Furness - an international speaker of some repute. I found it great. I really enjoyed learning both how to be a great speaker AND how to sell my services. On the way back from the course I stopped off at my parents...
My mum looked at my website and pointed at various typos and links not working! Fine, I thought as soon as I get home I'll sort them out. Since then my computer has crashed so many times I have lost count, and it keeps refusing to recognise my keyboard and mouse! Typical since I had been "sharing" on the course I'd been on about the great website I was building and asking people to look at it!
From a coaching perspective, this is a classic example of how lack of day-to-day maintenance can sabotage even the grandest vision. Although in an ideal world I would go out and buy a brand new computer - preferably a laptop - the bottom line is that my computer needs, in technical speak, "rebuilding". This means backing up all the data, reloading all the programs and then reinserting the data again. A job for my hard-working IT expert of a husband.
Many of us have lives exactly my computer. We expect to be able to continue to function as goal and dream achieving adults, often without any attention to what's going on in the inner workings of our lives, our true selves. Its then that we get into trouble and things start going wrong. What we need is to be able to record our current position, so we don't lose the lessons that we have learned so far - but then effectively we need to be debugged (de-cluttered) from life's baggage and to have our main settings restored. We then need to be almost re-programmed with a more helpful set of values and beliefs that allow us to achieve our true desires and goals in life.
If you want help restoring and reprogramming your life for success, contact michelle@coachingis4u.com or ring 07779 305825.
PS To give another analogy, if you were building a one-storey building, basic foundations are okay - if you want to build a multi-storey building or even a skyscraper - you will need to pay a lot more attention to your foundation. Its the same with your dreams and goals. If you only have low level dreams and expectations, you won't need a lot in the way of foundations, the bigger the dream, the greater the need for a solid foundation. Coaching is a way of laying strong foundations for a better future. Call me NOW on 07779 305825 or visit my main website: coachingis4u.com
