Are you Coachable?
Most everyone likes to get the inside track on how the wealthy got that way. Are you ready for one of the best-kept-secrets of the fabulously Rich?
The richest people in the world use coaches — and that’s no accident. What all high achievers know is that they need someone who can give them an objective view on the outcomes they are working to create in their lives. A coach not only holds you accountable for the results you desire, but also provides you with insights and strategies you can use to achieve those results in the best way possible.
“We know what we are, but know not what we may be.” –William Shakespeare
The phenomenal Tiger Woods’ incredible achievements as a golfer are a perfect example of natural talent taken to new levels of greatness through coaching. Tiger, with all his skill and talent, has many coaches—on and off the links.
Books, audio programs, video programs, and seminars all have their place in your personal development quest, but coaching stands apart as the single greatest potential contributor to helping you create an extraordinary life. That says a lot about coaches and what they can do for you—but that’s only half of the equation. The rest is up to you and thus the question: Are you “Coach-able”?
Let’s find out…
- Do you have a driven desire to better yourself?
- Do you have a CAN-do attitude about your goals?
- Do you have a willingness to learn?
- Are you committed to going the distance?
Your beliefs, attitudes and actions are directly responsible for your outcomes. If you answered “yes” to these questions you already have what it takes to reap the optimum benefits of having your own personal coach.
Personally, my success as an actor, teacher, author, coach and parent is largely due to my willingness to learn from my own great mentors. I have been privileged to grow from the shared wisdom of Henry Miller, J.C. Compton, William Inge, Jack Garfein, Rod Steiger, Paul Donner, Dr. Richard Bandler and Cary Grant. And I will say without hesitation that I could not have achieved my professional and personal successes without their help—from them, I learned to be ecstatic and possessed about my outcomes every day.
“The ideal condition would be, I admit, that all men should be right by instinct; but since we are all likely to go astray, the reasonable thing is to learn from those who can teach.”—Sophacles
A coach can help you create a positive attitude, bust out of comfort zones, change limiting beliefs, and teach you how to model excellence. Through the benefit of a valuable third eye, you will be able to view your career, your life and your craft from a greater perspective. Good coaching helps you make positive changes and encourages you to build strength where strength lies—while constantly inspiring you toward your desired goals.
Remember, the key to benefiting from the wisdom of others is to be Coach-able.
Be Bop!
