You and I both make a commitment to work with each other. This coaching agreement is for 4 months. This 4-month time-frame is critical.
I can confidently predict that your first month of coaching will be stellar. My dog could coach you and your first month of coaching would be stellar. Your first month will be marked by achievement, growth and confidence. You will love me and you will love coaching.
During our second month collaborating together, I am equally confident that you will get stuck. You will wonder what you are doing, why you are paying for coaching and whether the services you are receiving are worth anything. This is normal. This is when the real work of coaching gets done.
Your third month will see you turn around (the fruits of our work together during your second month of coaching). And this will continue during your fourth month. And, quite frankly, you will love me -- though, in truth, you and and only you are responsible for your choices and your success -- I am just some guy on the other end of the phone asking you the right questions and helping you tap into something you might not have even known you have.
If you doubt these "predictions," just go to any fitness center or gym during the month of January. You will see many many people following their New Year Resolution to get in shape and lose weight. Then in February (month 2) everyone is gone.
