A good coach will help you to discover your dream, get clear on the details of that dream and formulate together with you a clear structure and a plan of action that will take you to that dream in much shorter time frame than if you tried doing it on your own.

What is important to know is that a great coach will never tell you what to do, but rather guide you to making discoveries about yourself so that you can take the next step that feels right for you, and is in line with your purpose. The goal is to get you to your dream and not to make you dependant on the coach, so be on the lookout for that when choosing a coach for yourself.

9. CONgratulations: Your coach will congratulate you for all of the wins in your life, and re-joice with you as you take small steps and turn them into big leaps. Whether it is celebrating even just getting up out of bed if that is a challenge for you, celebrating you starting your own business, or celebrating turning a low profit venture into a 6 figure empire. Whatever level you are at, congratulating yourself for it, your coach will too, and if you cannot see it, your coach will and will point out all of the things that you can congratulate yourself for.
