Hire a Personal Coach

This next article is part of an ongoing series here at TSB Magazine called The Success Principles. The series is based on the 64 principles laid out by Jack Canfield in his course of the same name. If you're new, I always suggest starting any series from the beginning.

Principle 45: Hire a Personal Coach

Of all the things that successful people do to accelerate their trip down the path to success, participating in some kind of coaching program is at the top of the list. – J. Canfield

Over the past year I’ve had the pleasure of attending several dating workshops to conduct interviews and experience the inner working of these seminars and workshops.

The one thing that I continue to find staggering is the rate of progress that men see after only a few days working along side one of these dating coaches. What I realized is that while the basic information that you will receive at the seminar portion of the events can be found in books and DVD programs, the true value comes in being held responsible for your actions.

What I mean by this is that after the students learn a certain foundation, whether it be body language techniques or a particular opener, the value comes in having the coach there to make sure that they immediately implement this new behavior and then give them the proper feedback needed to perfect it.

While I’m not in the market of searching out a dating coach, I have recently contacted Jack Canfield’s organization about hiring a personal achievement coach. What I am basically looking for is an accountability coach. I am constantly reading and learning more than anyone that I know, what I need is someone who is going to make sure I’m implementing exactly what I’m learning.

Why Coaching Works

It doesn’t matter what you’re desired outcome is in regards to the coach that you’ve hired. Whether you’re looking to achieve specific business goals, dating goals, weight loss goals, or simply gain more clarity and progress in all areas of your personal an professional life, a coach can help you.

Canfield lists these specific benefits:

• Determine your values, vision, mission, purpose, and goals
• Determine specific action steps to help you achieve those goals
• Keep you focused on your top priorities
• Achieve balance in your life while still accomplishing your business or career goals
