Where are you planning to GROW in this New Year?

Posted by Garry Carlson on Jan 10th, 2012 | 1 comment home title

There is an ancient Chinese Proverb about never really being still; you are either growing or dying, moving forward or backwards. I’m paraphrasing here but I think you know what I’m talking about.

Which is exactly what I want to talk about in today’s blog.

Where are YOU planning to GROW this year?

I would welcome any responses to that question as either a rhetorical response (meaning you just want to put the answer out there) or a dialog response (which would invite a further conversation about the details and plans for such).

Your choice on what and how you want to answer.

But you should at least answer, if not to me or anyone, but at least to yourself.

And then do something about it.

Recently I got a great line from a friend who works in the personal development field and I really related to it and love its power. That was “Decisions are followed by Actions (which are followed by Results [my addition]) and Intentions are followed by intentions (which are followed by more intentions! [again my additional perspective])

So I wondered how many of us actually make a resolution that is nothing more than an Intention, and we get no real lasting results, versus making a hard and fast Decision that we follow with hard and fast Actions?

What do you want to add to your life process and what do you want to get rid of?

Can you actually “see” yourself in the new model with or without those things?

What 3 actions are you willing to take this week (no matter how small they are) to begin your journey to your new existence experience if you will?

I welcome your responses and would love to talk to you about them if you are willing.

Please post a comment today;
and put *R* for “Rhetorical Growing” OR *D* “Dialog Growing” at the beginning of the post so I’ll know whether or not to touch bases with you later about it.

Thanks ahead of time for reading, and doing something about what you just read.

I wish you all a most prosperous, peaceful, love filled year you (we) could ever have.

Coach Garry

Testimonials

I’m a writer starting an editorial business. My services include writing articles, writing fiction, editing, copy editing, and proofreading. I wanted to work with Garry as a coach because I felt he was able to understand my need to be more self sufficient in terms of producing income for myself. From the outset of our speaking together about how he coaches and why, I immediately felt that I had an opportunity to work with a partner who was genuinely interested in MY success. It was apparent to me that this was HIS priority.

The first thing I realized and continue to realize in working with Garry is that he listens. He understands intuitively what my goals are. Then he works with me to put a path to goals with a timetable that works. Garry has a positive way about him that makes me feel comfortable with moving out of my comfort zone – and I do that now with regularity.

During the first few weeks that we have worked together, I lined up a reading and contacted five venues to read more of my work within a six-month period. We discovered rehearsing techniques that continue to enhance the way I present my work. We also designed scripts that I use when approaching venues to read my work. The exercises and the skills I learned paid off immediately.

He and I put together a calendar of book fairs and related events that I will attend to drive customers to my website. What was only a vision just several weeks ago has now turned into reality, thanks to my working with Garry. I will be continuing to work with Garry in the next several months to advance my business and to continue stepping out of my comfort zone to accomplish new achievements. I highly recommend Garry as a coach if you are looking to get more out of your business and your life.
