you want to play the guitar, realize that it
takes time to learn. You will need to purchase
a guitar, learn to read notes, take lessons and
practice to achieve the outcome you are
expecting. You must continuously reassess
your progress and keep track of all of your
achievements, no matter how small. This will
help you remain positive and motivated while
working toward your goals.
5. Develop a support system of family,
friends and co-workers to keep you
grounded and focused. These people
should be willing to give you that needed
push toward the finish line. If you want a
promotion at work and know that you need
to perform exceptionally well on your next
project, enlist a coworker familiar with your
needs to keep you on track. He or she can ask
you questions and provide you with valuable
feedback, support and motivation to complete
the project on time with outstanding quality.
Also, be ready for criticism. Being able to
accept your shortcomings and failures is a
priceless part of the future you. Lastly, work-
ing with a coach can be a wonderful experi-
ence, especially when you have doubts about
how to get started on your own reinvention
process. A coach will keep you accountable
and can contribute valuable tools, knowledge
and expertise to ensure you are able to
become more future-focused and achieve the
life satisfaction for which you are searching.
Coaching helped me begin a successful
career in the promotional products industry,
finish two college degrees and become a cer-
tified coach myself so that I can continue to
give back to others who seek direction toward
their ideal life.
I am confident in my belief that you can
achieve the success you desire. I wish you
well while navigating your own path to
reinvention.
