Don’t Worry - Take Action

When I was considering transitioning from my profession to establishing a full-time coaching business in 1997, I experienced anxiety and concern. I didn’t know many people at that point who had established a successful, sustainable coaching business, and I wasn’t certain that it was possible for me to do it.

Thomas Leonard, the founder of coaching, was coaching me at the time, and I expressed my apprehension to him. He listened carefully and then gave me a challenge. He said I want you to hang up the phone and go out and make $100 a day for the next 14 days. He said that I was not to call him back until I had accomplished the goal for 14 days straight. What? (I still had to pay him for coaching me) I hung up the phone and went into a determined brainstorming mode, and for the next 14 days I focused fully on taking action on making money. I called a company who had inquired about consulting services and consulted, I was paid to man a booth for a company at the Women’s expo, I called three referrals I had received weeks before and got a new client, and I even had a garage sale the second weekend. By the end of 14 days, I called Thomas back triumphantly, and he said great! Then he asked if this was the last time we were ever going to have this conversation. I said confidently that it was, and my coaching business has grown and prospered ever since.

Thomas’s challenge gave me the confidence I needed to embrace that there is an abundance of money and resources in this world! All I needed to do was to take action instead of sitting on my duff and worrying.
