Before Coaching..
I wouldn't say that my life was horrible by any means, simply average. I have always worked as much as I could and eventually found myself wanting more education, and began going to school for my Bachelors of Science in Business Management, which I have truly enjoyed. 3-4 years ago I was diagnosed with Mild Ulcerative Colitis, which not only effected me physically, but led me to be depressed, as the disease was often in control of me. I often spend time with friends and family. Traveled to Dustin's Softball games, and with my full time job, had the ability to travel all over the US, in addition to The Netherlands.
You may be thinking a number of things, it has only been three months since I started my business, how has my life already changed? or... a college Degree, and trips to The Netherlands... this is far beyond average!
How it all changed..
I have a mentor from the coaching industry who has expanded my view of the world again, when I was so narrow minded on my capabilities. My self confidence has been boosted beyond belief. My passion and self motivation has been lit like a match under my a**. I have started to find my purpose, believe in myself again, I have started to dream once again, and I learn or improve something about me, either mentally or physically every single day.
Narrow Minded Capabilities
By continuous personal development and self evaluations I have noticed how narrow minded I was, on what I was really capable of. We were taught when we were younger, that we could be and do anything we wanted to when we grow up. And in many of us, this dies somewhere between our teen years and our early twenties. But why? We start high school, and get our first jobs, where we form our clicks of friends, and after school activities, we get our hearts broken, we get other jobs, we go to college for a career we think we want.. and then, you enter the "real world" where it isn't so great, you are expected to get a 9-5 and be responsible, to play it safe.. and in this journey we often forget that we once were dreamers, we once had visions of impossible things that we wanted for ourselves. To be Astronauts or Presidents.. Instead of being content with life, I have began to dream again! And by dream, I mean, I have started to really see that If i push myself, and really commit to this business that I can accomplish my goals and dreams!
Self Confidence has been Boosted
Although in this business, I am sharing so many details of my life, or perhaps, others lives, and opening myself up to be criticized by the world, when they see posted transformation pictures, or that I reach out to prospects to invite them to my page or to see if they are in need of my services. I have never once had a poor or bad remark, comment, or irritated person, as it is my goal to leave every person I speak with glad that we spoke. I have become more social! This once half introvert has climbed out of her shelf and into the world of social media, talking with people I hardly know, or only knew from that "one time". This is not easy for someone who really does not WANT attention, or has been shy or the "quite" one. I wake up every morning wanting to talk to people about my business, how I can help them, and just to "shoot the shit". It energizes me in a way that I never thought possible!
Physically
So many of you know that I have always been athletic, and loved fitness and sport. Also, that I love the gym, weight training has been so fun for me since my early 20's when I wasn't required to do it! (Of course in middle school and high school, I never thought it was necessary, for the sports I participated in, and only did the minimum requirements in the weight room.) I also have always enjoyed running, in high school it was soccer, cross country and track. However, these days my favorite place to run is the forest preserves, or state parks. But since I started school again, my time, more valuable, I started to fall of track with my own physical goals. Since I have started coaching, I have been working out just about every single day, Whether it be a home work out, gym session, Sunday morning yoga, or jog with my dog, I am staying active every day!
Mentally - Self Development
One of the core values of my business is personal development, and I complete personal development of my own every single day! Most often, it is while commuting to my 9-5, I will listen to an Audio Book, or Podcast, but they are so very inspiring and motivational. They have had a remarkable ability to change my mindset. Self help books like You Are A Baddass by Jen Sincero, the 10X Rule by Grant Cardone, and Wellth: How I Learned to Build a Life, Not a Résumé by Jason Wachob have all inspired me to not only change my life, but to help other individuals change theirs! Podcasts like MWF Motivation, and The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes have all but boosted me up and changed my mindset to focus on the positives. To, accept what i cannot change, and change what I cannot accept. When personal development became a core value of my business, I thought to myself, "well, I am a full time college student, I am constantly reading books for school, writing papers, putting together power points, I am continuously developing.." I am proud to say, that I wasn't, but I am now, and I just cannot get enough. Never did I think that a book or audio book would skew my thoughts or outlook on myself, or my life.
Passion
So often, we are searching for our purpose in life. As we are either not fulfilled by the 9-5 job that we thought we would love, or we frankly just ended up finding and saying "it'll do". Helping others has always been a passion of mine, and with coaching I get to help individuals reach their goals.. how frinken cool and rewarding is that? And to take it 10 steps further, I dont plan to just stop at coaching, I want to help others in all areas of their life, physically, mentally, online, in person, ANY way I possibly can!
Just by starting my coaching business in January, I have found my passion, and higher purpose in life! I have changed my mindset, and fell in love with personal development, both physically and mentally, I have gained self-confidence, and have began to dream again!
