12 months in business today - here’s the truth. Exiting a well paid role as a Director in the recruitment sector in July 2023 to take Your Results Coach onto a full time basis - was a risk. I wanted to use my skills to help others - those in a similar position to me a decade ago. My ideal client - a senior exec or business owner potentially drinking too much alcohol, working in stressful job, not treating themselves or their body well, making poor lifestyle choices, a weakened mindset and this adversely affecting their home life and performance in business. That was me - so made a lot of sense. I've the experience to help them. I've trained to help them. The outcome of my first 12 months has been positive - but not without its challenges. ↪ I've had those restless nights during periods of 'drought' of new clients. ↪ I've been made aware of others who ridicule my work and posts online. That hurts a little if I'm honest. ↪ I've taken on clients where we haven't achieved the desired outcomes, I've let clients' go based on a lack of commitment from their part. ↪ I've felt drained with constantly posting content on social media, engaging, commenting and direct messaging - it's needed but can get jading at times. ↪ I've coordinate LinkedIn lives and try to add value with my content - not everyone can afford to work with me, but I can still help them with what I share - hopefully. ❓ I've questioned if I'm doing the right thing, will I make it work...? ↪ I've had to work really hard on my own mindset in the last year, it's been tough at times. ✅ The up swing is that I've delivered on my financial objectives for this year. I was challenged on this number when I started. It's not all about that though. ✅ I've worked with (and am working with) some amazing clients. People that want to better and engage properly with my service as their personal coach. ✅ We're getting results. We will continue to do so. My work has taken me to Dubai, Switzerland, Mallorca and of course the UK. ❌ I never aggressively sell - no cold pitch slap!! ❌ I don’t go hard in DMs - always light conversation. I’ve reached out to a lot of people - ignored by a few, maybe they’re busy? That’s OK. I believe in my service and what I have set out to achieve - that's important. I've been consistent and tanacious in my inputs to drive eyes to my business and what I do. I have a work life balance that works for me now. I work for myself - I'm not great and being managed. This now suits me better. I’m winning - but not everyday feels like that. I keep going. I take my own advice. 👇 Take action. "Action ➡ Momentum ➡ Results" Never overlook an underdog - you never know where they could end up… Chris - Your Results Coach.
