The Wake-Up Call

I remember sitting in my home office, surrounded by notebooks filled with strategies, action items, and brilliant ideas from my business coach. The afternoon sun was streaming through the blinds, highlighting the dust on my untouched stack of “to-implement” plans.

My phone buzzed with a calendar reminder: “Coaching Call: Review Last Week’s Progress.”

I felt that familiar knot in my stomach. Another week had passed, and despite the inspiration from our last call, I had made minimal progress implementing the strategies we’d discussed. I had the knowledge, but something was missing in the execution.

This wasn’t the first time. It was a cycle I knew all too well — both as someone who had hired multiple business coaches and as a coach myself. The pattern was painfully predictable:

1. Energizing strategy session full of breakthroughs
2. A comprehensive plan with clear next steps
3. Initial momentum that gradually fizzled
4. The slow creep of overwhelm and isolation
