Hi again!
“The results you’re getting are a perfect reflection of the system you’ve set up to create them.”
When my coach said that to me, it stopped me in my tracks.
My first response was to defend myself. No, it was bad luck. No, it was circumstances. No, it was people not understanding.
She held the silence. I felt uncomfortable. Then I saw she was right.
This isn’t about taking responsibility for what’s beyond our control, which is almost everything. It’s about owning our results and how we respond to them.
I realised I had never built a system for what I wanted. Not consciously, anyway. One had grown on its own. I wasn’t running it. It was running me. I’m not unique in that. Even top executives do this.
She provoked me to look deep into what my system was. It provoked me to get intentional about changing it.
Notice that my coach didn’t give me that answer. it came from within me. She just stopped me long enough to look at what my ego wanted me to look away from. That’s coaching.
So here’s a question to sit with. What system have you quietly built around the results you most want, and what is it made of?
If this resonated, I’d love to explore it with you in a free session. No obligation, no hard sell. Just reply and let me know..
Wishing you happy success,
Steve.
