In these days of rapid change and our ‘want it now’ mentality you consciously look for the magic bullet, the fast easy way to get what you want.

Remember the story about the gym owner trying to figure out ways to keep his clients on track?

Or maybe you have followed the teachings from the Secret, you know, The Law of Attraction, and yet you find that you somehow haven’t got what you want.

You do the affirmations, create the vision board, and even meditate on the outcomes you desire.

Nothing seems to work.

Could an Auckland Life Coach help?

Maybe.

Last night on television two different programmes delivered what I think is a key if not the key to ‘The Secret” to success.

The first story was about a truck driver who was made redundant from his job.

He then decided he wanted to be a doctor!

Wow! Now that’s a big shift from where he was to where he wanted to go.

His application for medical school was rejected.

Undeterred he enrolled at a technical college and gained a diploma in science. He then reapplied to medical school, was readmitted, and, you guessed it is now a qualified medical doctor.

It ‘only’ took him 12 years!

In the other story a Dutch immigrant took on some overgrown swampy ground no one else wanted.

With sheer hard work and determination he knocked the land into shape.

He now has a business as this country’s largest organic blueberry producer.

Not only does his farm support he and his wife, but the families of his two children as well as providing seasonal work for a local migrant community.

And, he is hard at work on his farm every day – not because he has to, but because he is doing what he loves.

What’s their ‘secret’?

Was it passion? Was it a vision? Maybe it was both. What did they have in common?

Stick ability.

They both made a decision and set about achieving their dream. And they stuck at it until they succeeded.

The challenge we all face is to find something we can get ‘stuck into’ that we are passionate about and do whatever it takes to get there.

Looking back, I bet that new doctor does not think that 12 years was such a long time!

Can a life coach help?

Yes!

He or she will keep you on track; ask the hard questions keep you motivated when it all gets too hard.

Make that call today. Fill in the form. Let’s get going.
