Wealth Building 101 – Why you need a coach

Last Monday I had 3 coaching calls before noon. One with my Kiyosaki, Rich Dad education coach, one with my network marketing coach and one with my personal and business coach. Yesterday I took my horse and had a lesson with my barrel racing coach.

Why do I work with all these coaches? The answer is simple. All these people know more than I do about what I want to get better at. I want to become more money smart, be a stronger network marketer, a better writer and person and learn to barrel race. I sure can’t do these things by myself and be successful.

Being coached is not always a pleasant experience. I don’t particularly enjoy being told what I am doing wrong but I know my coaches have my best interests at heart and they give me positive feedback along with the constructive criticism.

My coaches see what I can’t see. For example, with my barrel racing, I am supposed to run my horse full speed to a spot a few feet from the barrel, slow down enough to turn, but not lose momentum. I find that when I slow my horse down we lose momentum and end up losing a lot of time in our turns.

My coach was able to see that I was stopping my body momentum instead to continuing to drive my horse forward even as we slowed down to prepare for the turn. She modeled what she wanted me to do on the horse she was riding.

My coach pointed out that I was thinking slow down when I really needed to be thinking gather and prepare. A Ha! I got it. I doubt I would have figured this out myself and even if I did it would have been after much stress for me and my horse.

I also tend to be off in my timing when I ask for my horse to get ready to turn. Unfortunately, this is not something my coach can teach me. Perfect timing has to come through feel and this will take lots of practice. What my coach can do, however, is help by calling out when to give the slow down cue until it becomes instinctive for me.

In summary, why you need a coach:

A coach knows more than you about the subject you want to get better at
A coach has your best interests at heart and gives you encouragement even as they point out your mistakes
A coach sees things that you can’t see
A coach will model the correct actions
A coach will point out your limiting or incorrect beliefs
A coach can cover for your lack of skill while you practice

I love my coaches. I would recommend the Kiyosaki, Rich Dad education training program to anyone looking to go to the next level in becoming money smart. I love my business coach. She is a true friend and mentor. I love my network marketing coach and would never try to work my business without her. My network marketing coach works with me and my group in the big business, network building model. I am looking for a few partners who are ready to increase their cash flow monthly quickly and predictably. Contact me. Madalyn
