What sets achievers apart from non-achievers? My coaching experience has illuminated some key distinctions. Coaching achievers is a relatively straightforward process; I ask thought-provoking questions, listen for their insightful responses, and they swiftly put plans into action without excuses. On the other hand, coaching non-achievers can be more challenging. They often excel at identifying obstacles but struggle to act. They're skilled at talking the talk but frequently stumble when it comes to taking concrete steps.
I consistently emphasize to my clients that they are creators of their own destiny. This holds true for both achievers and non-achievers; the difference lies in what they create. Achievers think, act, and manifest their visions, while non-achievers may linger in a mindset where things seem to work against them, trapped in a cycle of negativity. Achievers are acutely aware of their power to shape events and guard against negative thoughts.
The variance between achievers and non-achievers can be subtle. Non-achievers can evolve into achievers, but it requires diligent effort. They must recognize their patterns, habits, and deeply ingrained attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions and then consciously alter them. This process is challenging, as non-achievers tend to be entrenched in their conditioning.
I've discovered that both achievers and non-achievers inhabit comfort zones, which I refer to as conditioning zones. Breakthroughs occur just outside these zones, accessible by developing an awareness of one's thought patterns and taking that crucial step away from conditioning.
The game of golf provides a fitting analogy. The distinction between top golfers and good golfers may be as minor as 2 or 3 strokes. The elite are slightly better, while the good ones are just a tad weaker. A closer examination reveals that preparation, routines, and habits make a significant difference—mindset surpasses skillset. This principle holds true in coaching; mindset is the foundation, and once it's aligned with the goals, we tackle skill development.
During the initial coaching session, I can often gauge if a person's mindset will impede their progress. Addressing mindset takes precedence. After that, we focus on skills.
To achieve happiness, success, or wealth, one must think creatively, act in alignment with their thoughts, and break free from limiting conditioning.
