Yet, some people still resist hiring a life coach.  They prefer to “do it themselves” and too often, they are unwilling to make that kind of investment in themselves.  This is a trap that keeps so many talented, capable, hard-working people in struggle and striving and just plain stuck.  

This kind of thinking hindered me for far too long. Nevertheless, I am grateful that I started working with my coach a few years ago, and it is one of the greatest investments I have ever made.  Working with a life coach has catapulted my life, my business, and my success and satisfaction to levels I never imagined, and I continue growing and reaching new levels.  

Anyone wanting more in life and work will experience a dramatic life change from working with a life coach. The wisdom, expertise, and insight of a life coach empowers you to clarify what you really want, set realistic goals, create a plan to achieve them, and blow through the barriers that hinder you.  Partnering with a life coach helps you stay focused on the important so you can grow and prosper on a personal and professional level.

Here are 8 Signs that You May Need a Life Coach:

1. You want more but don’t know how to get it. 

You may want more money, more time or energy to spend doing what you want, more fulfillment in your life, or more success in your career or business.  You want more but you can’t seem to make it happen for yourself, no matter how capable you are or how hard you work.  Working with a life coach is just what you need to push through and get what you want. 

2. You feel lost or confused.  

Life coaches are great for helping people recover themselves or   their way when they feel lost or confused.  If you have come to a    point where you don’t know who you are or what you want, working  with a life coach is the perfect starting point for your life journey.  

3. You have a vision, but no clear plan.

You may have a goal or vision, but have no clue as to how to achieve it.  A life coach will guide you through creating and implementing an action plan to bring your vision into reality.  So many dreams and great ideas go unrealized due to a lack of planning, organization, and action, and the world is cheated as a result.  

4. You doubt yourself.

So often, we know what we want, but we doubt that we can have it or we doubt our ability to get it.  We may be stuck in obligation, expectation, or fear, and feel powerless to change it.  Working with a life coach will help you boost your self-confidence and believe that you can have what you want, and manifest it in your life. 

5. You want to change your profession.

If you want to quit your day job and start your own business, level up in your career, or enter a new field, the expert guidance of a life coach can give you the confidence you need and help you create the plan to make the leap.   

6. You are procrastinating.

What are you putting off or stopping yourself from doing?  We all place limits on ourselves.  We all have limiting beliefs and patterns that are holding us back and preventing us from fulfilling our true potential.  Partnering with a life coach will motivate you to take action.  No more B.S.  Only action and results.  You’ll have the accountability you need to get it done.  

7. You are stressed.

You feel overwhelmed, burdened, or stressed, and you’re tired of doing everything on your own without any support or clarity of direction, which is only adding to your frustration.  Hiring a life coach will provide you with support and direction along the way to achieving your goals, and greatly reduce your stress.   

8. You’re tired of wasting time and money.

Are you going in circles, trying to do things your way, and tired of wasting your precious time?  Are you reading books or blogs, listening to podcasts, and consuming resources, but not really knowing how to spend your time, energy, and money to get the best return on your investment?  Working with a life coach will save you time by helping you find solutions faster and by knowing what is most productive and profitable because they’ve been there.  Hiring a life coach will actually save you huge amounts of time, and it will make you money.  If you think that you can’t afford to hire a life coach, the truth is, you can’t afford NOT to.  

If any of these sound like you, it is time to hire a life coach.   Most successful people in the world have a coach.  Working with a coach helps them achieve more than they ever would on their own.  Are you limiting your success by telling yourself that you can do this on your own?  If so, now is the time to do something different, so you can level up your game.  After all, it is Your One, Wild and Precious Life.
