Last month we read Eat That Frog! by Brian Tracy in my Coaching Book Club. If you haven’t read it then check it out. It’s definitely worth a read. Brian Tracy takes you through 21 steps to beat procrastination. Eating frogs can build your coaching business.
Here’s a fun video about eating frogs.
I talked recently in a post about how procrastination can dent your confidence, but it can also be such a big time stealer and hold you back from making a success of your coaching business.
A lot of my clients know what they need to do but they don’t know where to start, or they’re scared to start in case they don’t do things right. It’s ok to make mistakes, it’s human. So tell me;
- What are you procrastinating on with your business?
- Are you being distracted by lovely web links and funny pics on Facebook?
- Are you trying to do too many jobs at once and not really knowing where to start?
- Are you listening to a million and one webinars hoping to find that one magical thing that’s going to bring in new clients?
- Are you telling yourself you’ll start doing ‘x’ when ‘y’ happens? ‘X’ might be putting your prices up once ‘Y’ you’ve been coaching for a year, or starting blogging once you’ve written up 20 draft posts.
If you want to run a successful business you have to notice your procrastination and take steps to change it.
Today’s Task
Write your list of things you’re procrastinating about. Figure out which one is your ‘frog’ and then get cracking.
If you need help figuring out what you need to do to build your coaching business come and have a free 20 minute discovery session with me. Hey, you could even make it one of your frogs!
