I remember when I first hired David, some of my friends thought it was a bit weird, and they'd say things like, why would you need a life coach? Your life is already pretty good. I know many people don't get it or believe it's a waste of time and money. Not me. I was starting a new business, under a huge amount of financial pressure, and super tight deadlines and I needed help. I could feel that my sanity was slipping away because I was becoming more and more consumed by work and stress, but I could not quite figure it out on my own, so I just kept slipping back into old patterns. As a life long entrepreneur, I know you're only as good as your team, but no on my team could help me with this. I wanted some honest unbiased outside perspectives on what I was doing and how I was doing it. David provided a fresh set of eyes and gave me tangible strategies, support and encouragement of how to integrate the work and personal aspects of my life. He was also an amazing sounding board that I could bounce ideas off of first, and someone who believes as much in your dream as you do. That is probably the most special quality about him.
I'm actually amazed what I have been able to accomplish in the last year, in spite of some of the biggest obstacles I've ever faced. It's been one of the hardest years of my life, and I got through it in part because of the guidance and support David was able to bring to the mix. In this day and age, if you're an entrepreneur and you don't have a coach, you should consider getting one, and while I hate to give away my secret, I think David is someone worth talking to. read more
