Are You an Amateur or a Professional? How to Tell For Sure!
One of the toughest lessons I’ve ever had to learn in my nearly 10 years as a life coach is that I can’t save everyone.
No matter how many doable strategies I provide, motivational emails I send, or accountability calls I make, there will still be clients who won’t do the work.
Sometimes they need the help of a medical professional. Sometimes they just want to blame someone else for their problems. And sometimes they secretly believe that a coach would flick a magic wand and fix everything.
Bibbidi bobbidi boo!
It’s about personal responsibility, and I can quickly tell if a client will ultimately reach her goals by how she shows up to our calls.
The amateurs won’t do their homework and always have excuses. The professionals might face setbacks, but they pick themselves up and keep trying.
When it comes to your work, do you step up like a true professional or do you fall into the bad habits of an amateur?
