Countless discoveries and inventions have been made throughout our history. Some of the developments have been minor, some of them have been major, some have been short-lived, and other events have been more critical and longer-lasting. There have been certain developments throughout our history that have been so vitally important to humanity that they are considered the sole factor behind all of humankind, collectively making progress and taking a critical and everlasting step forward.

The first time I got interested in online coaching, I met a lot of different  people.

A lot of these individuals were well on their way to developing an online coaching business. “So far, so good”, I thought to myself. It turned out that a lot of the people I was rubbing shoulders with digitally were basically walking the wrong path. They had all the wrong ideas on how to build and run a successful online coaching business. In fact, for the longest time, I struggled with my own coaching business because I absorbed a lot of their ideas. One of the most confusing and toxic ideas that I subscribed to be the idea that I should recruit as many clients for one-on-one coaching. In theory, this made a lot of sense because, let’s face it, if you want to learn from somebody, the best way to do so is to have that person right in front of you.

While that person is talking, you can engage that person and ask questions that mean I lot to you. Maybe there are a lot of materials that don’t make sense to you. Perhaps this person is skipping certain important materials. Whatever the case may be, the fact that they’re in front of you enables you to askquestions in real-time so they can engage with you in such a way that you pick up the information that will take your knowledge to the next level. All this is fairly easy to understand.

However, the problem is people are not going to seek out one-to-one coaches unless that person is worth seeking out. I hope you can understand that. I hope the value proposition is quite clear with the statement I just said. Think about it. If you are just some random person who keeps saying to himself and to anybody who would bother to listen that you are an expert, do you think you will be viewed as an expert? Chances are you won’t.

In any occupation, there are elements that are not as “fun” as other elements of that occupation. As a result, many people will often procrastinate and slow themselves down in an effort to “avoid” those boring or tedious elements that they don‟t like doing as much as the fun aspects of their job or occupation.

In truth, those efforts to procrastinate, make excuses, and just avoid certain aspects of an occupation or task just lead to people taking longer to complete work they could do much quicker, leading to them getting less done than they could within a set amount of time. Additionally, it forces them to work harder, takes more time away from other activities they‟d rather be doing, and can lead them to doing poorer-quality work because they have to work faster to make up for the time they lost by procrastinating and making excuses. Due to the fact they are working faster, they‟re more prone to making mistakes and not thinking clearly when doing important tasks. Procrastination is just one excuse people make when they want to avoid a more unpleasant part of their occupation or a project or task they are not particularly fond of doing. However, procrastination isn‟t the only challenge people face when people try to get high-quality work completed in a set period of time. Often, people will question If they can work fast and still deliver high-quality work. They will often doubt themselves over whether they are doing something properly or if it‟s what their target market, boss, or customer is looking for in the completed work.

As a result, they slow down and take longer to complete the work when it‟s  usually not necessary. Time management is key for everyone, but especially for entrepreneurs who are their own bosses. Entrepreneurs must motivate themselves to stay on or ahead of schedule; there is no boss who will get on them to stay on or ahead of schedule. If an entrepreneur falls behind an intended schedule, only he/she can motivate himself/herself to pick up the pace and get back on track. He/She won‟t lose his/her job, but also won‟t get as much profit because he/she is failing to do the work expected of him/her in a set period of time.
