Change Is Uncomfortable

After reading this I got to thinking about what it takes to be successful. What I concluded is that successful people are prepared to do what most people are not prepared to do. They are much more willing to be uncomfortable than they are willing to fail.
Most successful people advise getting a coach. Many people have a personal trainer or join a gym. Some business people have a business coach. But even before you can afford to pay a coach who is a specialist in the area in which you want to excel, you have one. You! You know yourself better than any one else does. You know where you are choosing to do the comfortable over the one that will lead to greater success. What is that by the way? Make a note of it on a piece of paper now, before you read on.
Got a question for you. How much time each day do you spend preparing yourself to have the right attitude to succeed? Giving yourself a pep talk it used to be called. Then it was psyching yourself up.
Whatever label you give it, how long do you spend motivating yourself to overcome the obstacles, avoid the distractions and stay focused for the day? No time at all? A brief thought?
So how is that working for you? On a scale of 1-10, how is your motivation level? Do you always feel up, fully charged, ready to take on anything that stands between you and your goal?
No? Maybe it’s time to look at that operating basis and start to be a coach to yourself. Even if it is only for a few minutes a day.
