Remain Optimistic In Times Of Uncertainty

Have you ever said to yourself I would like to do…… for a living?

Do you have a hobby or talent you would like to turn into a full time job?

Is there a new avenue you would like to explore?

You make a plan and procrastinate, not following through with it time and time again. Only to quit or take a break put it on the “back burner”. You have the desire, and the drive, but feel overwhelmed or you are afraid to fail.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, but simply don’t know how to go about making your dream a reality. You’ve thought about it over and over, and you just don’t know where to start. This is the time when seeking the assistance of a Life, Career or Business Coach makes sense. Your coach will help you develop a plan and see it through to fruition.

The assistance you get from a coach is immeasurable. Your plans will be put into action step by step in stages that are not overwhelming, but will get you the results you desire.

A coach will help you stay on track and hold you accountable, assisting you to make progress. Encourage you to jump those hurdles that may have held you back before cheering you on every step of the way! The sense of accomplishment you feel as you move forward in the direction of your dream will be so fulfilling you’ll wonder why you waited so long to follow those dreams.

You may have to adjust your game plan from time to time. Having someone who can look at the “big picture” who is not emotionally involved, but committed to your success can get you back on track and keep you focused.

The road to success has many bumps, forks, and turns, having a coach to assist you on this journey makes a big difference. It’s like driving into the unknown with or without a map, directions or a GPS. It takes out the guesswork so you move forward with more confidence and less stress.

The unknown can be a scary thing and you may want to give up. A coach will assist you to take the steps necessary to develop your talent and forge ahead. “Keep your eye on the prize.”

There is nothing more satisfying than doing what you love everyday and making a living doing it. PEOPLE CAN REMAIN OPTIMISTIC IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY

You can remain positive during periods of stress you need to remember that:

· Powerful people rise up to the occasion

· Abundance comes to those who persevere

· There are always alternatives to your current situation

· You can reach out for help

During these times of increased stress and change, coaching can help you:

Prioritize issues, determine your goals, make a clear life and business plan, gain control of challenges and obstacles. Coaching can also help you to move forward in your plans, improve finances, gain encouragement, increase motivation, manage transition and get organized. You can heal the past, create a support system and have more joy as well.

In this day and age, jobs are hard to find, the economy, although said to be improving is still a challenge. People may find themselves in a position where they are unemployed or they have a job that doesn’t pay well. They counted on over time to subsidize their income, but many companies just aren’t offering over time any more. It can be a frustrating and frightening time for some.

Perhaps we should use this time to focus on change. Everyone has a dream they have always wanted to pursue, but just didn’t have the time to do it. Use the time you now have to follow your dreams. Make that dream a reality.

Make this year, 2012 the year of accomplishments. The year you no longer just talk about what you want to do. The year you actually take the initiative and do it.

Putting your plans into action may seem overwhelming, but the feeling of accomplishing your mission is so rewarding you will wonder why you waited so long to begin.

Make a list. Take small steps at first. After each task is done take the time to appreciate yourself and the hard work you did to reach your goal. Stay positive and always keep your goals in sight no matter how far away you think you are from reaching them. Every step you take as small as it may seem is one step closer to you achieving your goal. Now increase your small steps to even bigger ones.

If you get discouraged or feel overwhelmed then you need to regroup. Take a step back, meditate, do some breathing exercises, if necessary take a walk to clear your head, but NEVER ever give up. Get back to work immediately. Remember this is YOUR dream.
