It’s that time of year again when you hear the buzz New Year, New You. In other words, setting resolutions and goals for the new improved vision you have of becoming a better you.
What if
Let me ask, are you in a repeat cycle of starting and stopping? If this is you, you’re not alone. Most give up on themselves after only a few days.
What if this year was the year that you stop stopping? What if this year you stuck to the commitment of becoming a Better You?
What soundtrack do you have?
What does it take to stay the course of becoming a better you?
In order to become a better you, you need to figure out what you do not love about the current you.
What soundtrack do you have playing in your head that is telling you that the current you is not enough?
I know that soundtrack oh so well. You’re not thin enough. You’re not smart enough, You’re not focused enough. Blah, blah, blah.
You’ll probably laugh at me when I say this, because that is what I did I gave out a big old chuckle when that light bulb went off in my head. Those are just thoughts. They really aren't true. Those thoughts could not be proven in a court of law. No matter how much you want to believe they could be.
Becoming a Better You is Scary, AmIright?
It’s all the crap that you have going on between your ears that allows you to throw in the towel and give up.
It’s our limiting thoughts that like to keep us coming back to the same cozy and comfortable place that we have always been. Because that’s all we have known and our minds want to keep us in the place of knowing instead of venturing out into the unknown. Because that is super scary. Right?
Two Goals
Last year. I set two simple goals, just two simple goals so I thought. To complete my Yes Supply Coaching Certification and to upload a new YouTube video every single week. I had the mantra Business is easy when I take messy imperfect action. Do you know what? I’m keeping this mantra in 2022 because it pushed me to do the uncomfortable.
You guessed it, I did both of these.
Did it come with struggles? Oh, you bet it did!
So many times I had to talk myself into recording a video for my YouTube channel. In the beginning, I had my son edit all of them because I knew if I did it I would never, ever publish them.
In the beginning, my enough thoughts were rampant.
But, I kept my head down and stayed true to my word and my commitment to myself. I took action even when I really, really, really, really, really didn’t want to. Trust me there were many times when I didn’t really want to record a YouTube video.
Along the way, I celebrated my progress. I gave myself grace when my limiting thoughts came up.
And I keep going anyway.
I am capable of becoming a better me.
You see, I’m the only one that holds the ability to become a better me.
As much as I’d like to push this off on someone else. It’s me. I’m the only one that can become a better me.
I have to hold the belief that I am capable of becoming a better me.
My Other Goal
You may be wondering about my other goal for last year to finish my Yes Supply Coaching Certification. I did that one too. But getting the certification was the easy part.
Do you want to know the hard part? Self-coaching myself through all the limiting beliefs and garbage thoughts I had swirling around in my head.
I’ve known deep down inside since I started out as a virtual assistant I had a strong desire and inner calling to be a life coach. The problem is I pushed that desire down and covered it up.
Those Dang Limiting Beliefs
I allowed my limiting beliefs to win for years! FOR YEARS!
I allowed them to make me believe that I could not be a life coach. I was so worried about what would people say or what would they think. Oh, look at Michele calling herself a life coach, like the world, needs another life coach. Blah, blah, blah.
I don’t know do you find that same repeat conversion going on in your head?
I know now why. I had to first be my own best coach. I know now why I had to work through my own limiting beliefs. I know now why I had to be my own best client.
The work that I did was teaching me how to coach myself on anything that my creative mind came up with. I finally understand that the good LORD gave me everything I needed to be an amazing life and success coach.
I Found The Proof
If that wasn’t enough, in a search for something else I came across the emails from my friends and clients on My Superpowers.
If anyone has taken Marie Forleo’s B-School you know exactly what I’m talking about. When you send an email to a small number of people that you respect and trust and ask what they believe are your three best, strongest qualities.
These are were the most common qualities that came back to me: great listener, compassionate, giving, helpful, trustworthy.
I don’t know about you, but those are qualities that I look for when I’m hiring my next life and success coach.
My Goal For This Year Is Scary Too
Here it goes, this one is scary for me to share and put other there. This year, the goal on my Magic Chalkboard is to impact 26 lives as a life and success coach through my six-month private coaching.
This goal matters because of the impact it will create. Making an impact on someONE to help them believe they are capable of doing hard things. I want to help 26 people discover they are capable of achieving their dreams. You’re capable of doing the hard thing, they are capable of doing so much more than you give yourself credit for.
I know, if I could coach myself through all the limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and garbage that swirls around in my head, then I know, I KNOW, I can coach anyone else through their garbage and limiting beliefs.
If this is you with a head full of limiting beliefs and garage I invite you to apply to work with me. Apply now!

Private Coaching
Why do I believe in the power of private coaching?
Because it is truly life-changing. When your coach asks you that mind-blowing question that suddenly allows you to see what you've been missing all along that was literally right in front of your face.
You just need someone with a different perspective to help you see it.
Are you ready to experience life from a different perspective?
