How Does One Benefit From Coaching?

A few years ago when you heard the word "coach" you might have thought of someone that worked with in the athletics field. Now days when you hear the word "coach" you ask "What kind of a Coach are they".

You can find a coach for just about anything from a life coach to a business coach. Why do you need a coach, you might ask. Well, I have found coaches to be very beneficial to me in my business and personal life. About a year ago I seeked out a life coach to help me get my priorities in order and even though I am pretty organized I found her coaching to be of great help to me. She helped me look at my personal life and work on the areas that I was weak and enhance the areas where I was strong. Then I hired a organizer coach to come to my office to review what I was doing and help me improve my systems. This was a great benefit to me even though I was very organized she was able to help me focus on things that I thought were minor, only to discovere they were not. As a matter of fact after 2 hours of sitting with me she told me I really did not need a coach for organization, but I explained I always am looking for ways to improve and I always appreciate another person's opinion.

the other day I decided to do a Google to see how many coaches in particular fields there were and I was amazed at the results. In my discovery I realized anyone can be a coach. A little training here, a seminar there and so on and BAM you are now a coach. Don't get me wrong it takes a special person to become a coach, but in addition to their training they have to have the knowledge and experience to offer their clients to get them on the right track, whatever that may be.

A couple of years ago I realized that I offer something that others could benefit from and that is the knowledge and experience of a virtual assistant. I already was helping people to become successful in their business and obviously what I was doing was working because those that seeked my adviced were making it work.

I have been a virtual assistant for 7 1/2 years now and still love what I do and one of the greatest things I enjoy doing is helping other succeed in their business and in their personal life.

Being a mother of three active boy's, a wife and a successful business owner I have the experience to offer another person who has the same desire to become successful. The first thing I require from anyone I coach is to have the desire to succeed and the passion to make it happen. Once you realize that you to can succeed and have the confidence to believe in yourself you can do it!

If you would like to know more about my coaching and how it will benefit you, please let me know. I want to help you take those babysteps and overcome those obstacles to become the most successful person you can be.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

I LOVE Shutterfly! Why, for several reasons, but one is if I need to store photos for my clients to capture the link for another program I can load the photo here for FREE. Easy!

I love to take photos of my family and post on Shurrterfly and then email to family members and friends.

When I have our family photo taken I go to Shutterfly to order my holiday cards and can create my own right online and then ship to me. This is a great time saver for me.

I order photos from Shutterfly and in multiples. Since I have scrapbooks on all three boy's I find it a time saver and very cost effective.
