Just a ONE more question....... do ANY of the following statements apply to you as you completed your "Road Map"? 

I am stuck and not sure how to proceed.

I find this a little (or a lot!) overwhelming.

I don't know what to do - I need help here.

I am too much of a dreamer to set goals.

I am worried that these goals could become like my New Years Resolutions, full of good intentions but little or no action.

I am scared to commit to making goals for myself.

I am unsure if these are the correct goals for me.

I am not sure that these goals are realistic and achievable by me - perhaps I had better think or dream smaller.

I am scared that I may fail at achieving some or all of my goals.

By failing at some or all of my goals I am just re-affirming to myself that I am 'useless' or 'a failure' .

I do not have time to work on my goals.

I am worried what people will think if they find out I have failed to achieve my goals.

I'm not sure that achieving these goals will make me any happier, more fulfilled in my life.

If they do then you may consider hiring me as your coach to assist you. Either call me on 0044 (0)82 4436 18 or e-mail me at info@coahingworx.co.za
