You've got the Wrong GPS...!!



“What is this Business Coaching stuff all about then…?”

The guy at the back of the room had sat with his arms folded throughout the Workshop and when it came time to ask questions – this was the best he could do…

Like any professional I am not too keen on having what I do refer to as “stuff” but I thought I’d give him a response…

“Having a Coach is like having a GPS for yourself and your Business - once we decide where you would like to go, how we are going to get there, and what our real starting point is; my role is to guide you and enable you to steer your way to achieve the Results…”

He nodded and thankfully went quiet, satisfied with my response.
 
This got me thinking…

Imagine you had a GPS in your car and you programmed in a Post or Zip Code, waited for the route to calculate and then the voice in the GPS chirps out;

“That’s a long way; do you really want to go there, are you sure..?”

“Are you sure you can afford the fuel for this, it’s a lot of money…?”

“You are OK where you are, you don’t want to go there, you may not make it…”

What would you think…?

You would probably press reset a couple of times and when the machine reminds you that “Would you like to think about it or sleep on it for a while…?” or “You know all there is to know, you really don’t need any help from me…” you would throw it out of the window in frustration…

So, how come when it comes to achieving our objectives, or daring to think and dream big, we allow our internal GPS to give us the same messages, only we don’t throw it out of the window we instead choose to agree with it and comply with it's instructions..?

The internal GPS is the voice inside your head that talks you out of changing, taking a risk, daring to be different or fulfilling your dream – the fuel it runs on is Fear combined with Scarcity and it can rule your life if you let it…

You wouldn’t tolerate your car talking to you like that. A GPS in your car doing that would be useless and redundant; so why would you let yourself be talked out of going anywhere by a voice inside your head…?

It becomes your Global Procrastination System – it’s really effective and is guaranteed to prevent you achieving just about anything…

So the next time you have the opportunity to go somewhere new, experience something different or even hire a Coach to guide you, throw out your old internal Global Procrastination System and choose a new route and direction.
