"Your only limitations are those you set up in your mind, or permit others to set up for you." Mandino

Also we are coaches' we are also human, and as all humans we face challenges and responsibilities on a daily basis. We face taking action toward achieving our goals, whether personal of business.

We need to take marketing and promotional actions to help us build a successful coaching practice, we need to go out and network, we need to call past clients asking for references, we need to hand out more business cards, we all know what it is we need to be doing, but do we?

Don't forget that what Seneca said: "It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult"

Clients turn to us for the exact reasons; they need help to get to where it is they want to go. And part of our job as coaches' is to help our clients recognize and identify a predetermined failure so they can help themselves in the future.

Before giving you the 5 points to identify a predetermined failure, we will have to understand what failure is for we know that "A man sees the world not as it is, but as he is" We all have a different perspective to what is failure so take a sec and think to your self what is failure for you? I do recommend that when the issue comes up in a session; ask your client also this question.

Before we move on one way to overcome fear is to get familiar with its origin So here is the origin of the word failure: The word failure comes originally from French 500-600 years ago where it was Failure - which means short off, and not meeting the expectations. Later the word fail was first used in the English language by the British poet H. Maundrell, how wrote "the time would fail me to tell Gideon" Which meant - I have so much to tell but so little time, I won't be able to meet my wanting. Later on failure was linked to power failure, and lightning failure, which meant it won't achieve its fall power.

OK now let's get into business; here are the 5 points to identify a predetermined failure:

1. Negativity
Negativity towards ourselves, towards our writing, and towards those around us is a warning for a predetermined failure. Try to focus on the positive, and remind yourselves that you are making steps to promote your dream. Many succeeded, why not you? If you experience bay criticism of your writings, remember that there are millions of people in the world, and millions of opinions. For your information, Henry Ford, Donald Trump, Rubin Sharma, J. K. Roiling and even Madonna, tried and tried many times, without success, until the big moment.

2. Blaming an outside element
It isn't me; it's the parents, the education, the book companies, the environment, recession and the country. Right? Wrong. The responsibility for your life is in your hands, and not in anyone else's. Life is yours, the dream is yours, and don't expect anyone else to live you life, or bring everything all the way to you. So take responsibility and make the first steps to make your dream a reality, only you have the power. Don't forget - "a man is not remembered for his secret thoughts". Erica Jong said: "Take your life in your own hands and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame"

3. Labeling yourself
I'm not skillful, I'm not smart, I don't have it, I don't have any imagination, I'm unlucky, I'm not interesting, I'm not an author... many of us label ourselves and thus doom their fate. Usually it's simply a self fulfilling prophecy. Better off without. What is the label you'd like to have? Why not chance the old one with a new? It's possible, and works miracles, as we will demonstrate as we carry on.
Henry Ford once said "Whether you believe you can or can't you are right"

4. foreseeing a preset future
Some believe that there are unique individuals that can foresee the future. Certain Stars and well known people even pay a hefty some for those foreseers whose name precedes them. What about you, do you think there's any chance you might open a prophesizing business soon? If the answer is no, then how is it that you are willing to put your life dream in stake, because you think "it has no future"? Not write because "no publicists will ever accept me", or "no one will read it"? We seldom know what will happen in a minute, not to mention a month, or a year, or more. You don't know what the future has installed for you if you make real you dream of writing, but you certainly know what's predicted for you if you choose not to write. You'll simply.. not write.

5. everything or nothing thoughts
These thought are total thoughts. Why stay writing if I'll never produce a best seller? If I don't have time to write 8 hours each day, I won't write at all. If I don't succeed, I'll never write again. If my spouse, the lecturer, a certain book publishing firm don't like it, I'll never show it to another soul, etc. these are thoughts that their whole aim is to despair and to get the wind out of your sails, even before you've started. In writing, the road is the goal, and for that it is important to set realistic goals. Like sitting an hour a day in front of the writing sheet or the computer, (and not get up, even if nothing comes out!) like writing a page a day and proceed gradually.

One of the laws of success is: You always have a choice, going on and doing it or not. Even not doing anything is a choice, The question that you have to ask your self is: Is doing nothing working for me or against me?

Now ask yourself; in the situation you are in, what you know you got to do in order for it to be better? Now go and do it!

For your success
