Can a success coach make me successful?

Definitely yes. And it all depends on your definition of success. On how you make the connection between what's on offer and what you want. Let me start with an example.

I once met a gentleman who was the former Vice President of Citibank in Indonesia. Robert Ankasa; a man who wanted to be a top gun in his industry and a role model enjoying time freedom. Even though he started as an ordinary middle class child who cleaned toilets in Australia to finance his post-graduate management studies, he became a guy who could focus on the ends and not be stuck on the means. And a visionary who served as inspiration for many middle class Indonesians and people the world over.

Ankasa has - through his work as a success coach - personally mentored about 50 families to diamond and above. His asset base is worth several hundred million dollars. And it has all developed over the last decade, of which three years he spent building a network in parallel to a high pressure bank job. And then he was free. For life. Forever. To serve as an instrument of substantial socio-economic change in Indonesia and - by example - in the rest of the world.

Ankasa tells us stories of discipline that the Indonesians are famous for. Jim Dornan makes a special mention of him in his path-breaking book co-authored with the legendary John Maxwell, 'Becoming a person of influence'. Thus, without a coach we can become another failure statistic. And lose the opportunity to really live our dreams.

Coming back to your context, now what will keep you away from working with a success coach to realize your dreams? 3 things: One, not having (or believing) the success coach. Two, not having internal conviction that this is a viable strategy despite its obviousness. Or three, impatience.

While the first can be remedied by locating a success coach, the second is more tricky. It calls for a deliberate movement outside the conventional thought process and you know what doing so brings a person 'out-of-the-box forever! In all walks of life!! So it is definitely worth the effort and chances are this is easier than you think if you stay amongst a peer group of success coaches and audaciously close to your success coach. As for the third barrier, it's a weakness habit and successful people will do best after they break it.

Like all good things success coaching is not a quick-fix solution to issues. But it is generally seen that over a five year span the achievements of a person working with a success coach would far surpass those of one who is not in all walks of life. How is that? Simply due to the coachee's focus on good habits and positive company.

As a success coach I am always open to partner with people. You can engage and work with my practice as a success coach here http://sandeepnath.com/2010/01/success-coach/. Careful what you want!
