Practising rather than preaching – the coach gets coached

Today I meet for a full day with my business coach Rachel Turner.

It’s a 6-monthly review meeting during which we will be:

  • looking at the progress I’ve made since our 2-day intensive in early October 2017;
    • I’m making more money in less time – result!
    • I’m genuinely happy with the clients, the team and the work I do
    • I have the sense that there is a bigger future ahead
    • I no longer get as distracted by Bright Shiny Objects (ideas that dilute our focus)
    • My personal fitness is improving
  • reviewing where I’m at today in terms of
    • finances
    • marketing
    • the client experience
    • systems
    • support team
  • looking at the rest of 2018 and what I need to to do ensure I hit targets on
    • income and expenditure
    • removing any tolerations
    • business development
  • reviewing progress on a product/service development idea I talked about at our October meeting and have spent 6 months creating the space to implement (that’s how long it has taken to change direction)
  • looking at the next 5 years strategically to confirm whether my vision from the last meeting is the same

All of which means that the 8 uninterrupted hours Rachel and I have together will simply fly by.

I hope to catch the 18:00 out of Euston with a mind that is cleared and focused.

You should try it.
