After over thinking this thought about getting a coach I finally realized that I'm the type of person who needs that extra push and motivation to get off my ass and take action otherwise I'll just keep thinking about it and never do anything. I guess that support and constant encouragement as well as the accountablity that a coach can provide for their client is essential for me.

My question to you all is, what experiences have you had with a personal coach. How has it helped you? How do I go about finding the right coach? There's sooo many options out there and they all have varied levels of expertise. How od you know who is qualified? Who has the most trainging and who will be the most effective in helping you achieve all your goals?

Thanks
Use the Law of Attraction to attract the right coach for you. That's what I did. It came via someone I know telling me they have a coach they work with and I began to ask questions. He put me in touch with her via email and I began conversing with her via email. It took me about a year to finally decide to give coaching with her a try and we booked an intro session. After we spoke I *knew* she was the perfect coach for me right now so I hired her. She was the perfect thing I needed. I have been working her for about 3 months now and I've gotten a lot out of the relationship.

I would recommend hiring a coach, BUT I would recommend not rushing it and allowing yourself to find the right coach for you. Think in terms of what you need for your entire life, not just in one area. For me it took over a year to find the right person, but I'm glad I waited because the only thing worst than having no coach is having the WRONG coach

Hope this helps.

By the way, my plans this year are to become a coach as well. Once I get everything figured out, maybe there's a fit between us. I am going to be really picky with the clients I choose though. There will have to be a certain connection for me to accept a client. If you're still looking for a coach by the time I get setup, maybe it might work.
