3 Coaching Questions For You:
1. What Is The Most Important Thing In The World To You and Why?
2. What Does Success Look Like To You?
3. Is What You’re Doing Today Moving You Towards OR Taking You Away From What You Desire Most In Life?
What comes up a lot in coaching women of any age is a long-held belief ‘I’m not good enough’… or ‘will I ever be good enough’.
That may have triggered a response of becoming a ‘high-achiever, a go-getter, an empire-builder’. I’m not judging high-achievement, though it does make me wonder how a life tipping in that direction works out in the end?
- Is it a woman living her values – connected to her deepest desires and purpose – absolutely an achievement if it is; or
- Sorry, I just got a picture in my mind, of the other end of the scale, that I’ll sum up as ‘there’s nothing worse than an angry rich woman!’
What I absolutely love about coaching ‘life’ is each woman’s discovery of self and prioritising what’s most important to her first.
Yes, I coach ‘business’ too. Life and business are so intertwined – I can’t see that coaching in one works without coaching in the other, for those who own a business. I had a coach myself for 3-years and we switched back and forth across both life and business constantly. It gave me balance, sanity, focus and kept me on track with all of my priorities, not just half of them.
Business is there to support the life you dream to have – by establishing, growing, expanding it OR to sell it for a nice sum.
If business gets priority of focus and time, or keeps us distracted, however, that’s where the important things in life, like:
- physical wellness;
- psychological and spiritual health;
- creation, exploration and play;
- community connection; and
- relationship and family
get lost or become ragged around the edges.
What comes first for you? Life or Business?
If you can get them to balance, so they flow together, rather than play tug-of-war with your heart 💖 you’re on a winner!
