Everyone trying to reach a new level needs a coach. If it’s to improve our personal life it’s called a life coach, for our professional life, an executive or career coach may be the best choice and so on. Tony Robbins is considered the father of coaching and now has a team of hand-picked coaches to provide this service to many. Tony’s first coaching customer admittingly was himself!
Maybe there’s an answer for us all in this acknowledgment. Tony instead of spending money on outside coaches had a mentor, Jim Rohn, and with an understanding of how things worked, Tony set outrageous goals and focused his energy into becoming the person he is today. If he can do that, why can’t we?
If you can afford and find a qualified coach who can help you move forward, that’s probably the best way but if not, what’s wrong with going back to the way personal coaching came into existence. Here’s the secret to Tony Robbins’s success in self-coaching. It’s also one of my favorite quotes authored by Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins’ mentor and that quote “Work harder on yourself than you do your job.” It is the most empowering phrase I’ve ever heard.
That quote is the simple answer to all our problems and it has never been so easy to apply. Training on how to are readily available online on nearly every subject, and mentors or people with specific knowledge love to help people who are moving up in expertise in every field. I know, I love to work with capable people in my industry if they want to learn more and keep moving up. Knowledge and capability make us all more valuable.
“Work Harder on Yourself than You do on Your Job!”
Be Your Own Coach!
