Todays coaching was inspired by this quote: Yesterday I went with an inspiring quote by the Rock to aggressively take advantage of our opportunities. Today, I opted for what I feel would be an appropriate follow-up to that call for action with a reminder that WE WILL BE CHALLENGED WITH SET BACKS AND OBSTACLES, and the best way to deal with those set backs is to challenge ourselves to get back up and get back at it! As the quote suggests, we cant control getting knocked down, it is inevitable, chances are you have already experienced this in life, the key is to know you have to get back up, which is a conscious choice, and one that only you can make! There isnt much more coaching that can be provided to support this concept, except to suggest that the biggest opportunity I notice when working with people is our natural inclination to get emotional about the obstacles or set-backs and how that disrupts the process of getting back on track. Right now, concede to yourself that YOU WILL INCUR SETBACKS AND OBSTACLES on your path to achieving your goals. Mentally accept this and allow yourself to absorb it now, so that when it does happen, you can remind yourself, Oh yeah, I knew this would eventually happen, and this is what I am going to do about it, this allows us to progress through the cathartic process of accepting the setback and allow us to move forward faster and more confidently. In sales we teach that the easiest objection to overcome, is the one that we are prepared for. Meaning that if you are prepared for a objection, set back, challenge, obstacle, or whatever you want to call it, you will be that much more prepared to address, and move forward successfully and more confidently and stay on track much more. Because you are not getting all caught up in the emotional process of frustration and irritation, etc. This is why experience is so valuable. If you have dealt with something previously and know how to overcome it, it is far easier to know what to do and where to get resources, and how to move forward faster. That is wisdom. I know logically that makes sense, the key is to allow yourself to ACCEPT this as an expectation, so you can process things faster, and be more prepared after a setback. Most importantly, it makes it much easier to make that conscious choice to get back up and continue to move forward, when you have that confidence. Hope you enjoyed todays coaching, have a phenomenal weekend!
