What Do I Do?

What do I do?

A lot of people have been asking me lately what I really do. Nick what is this coaching you do? You know its all crap right? Focus your attention on something else. For all those who are wondering what I am doing and why, here it is:You know when your growing up and someone older says “Johnny what do you want to be when you grow up?” Johnny usually has some really cool answer like astronaut, sports athlete, fireman/women, or president. When asked why, the reply is usually, because its cool. Johnny is going to be one of those things no matter what and it has nothing to do with the amount of money he is going to make. He wants this because it is simply cool. If only every adult listened to Johnny and took his advise.

Most (not all) of us get lost some where along the way. We forget what is cool or what we truly love. We find that this symbol “$” is the ultimate happiness. People measure success based on a simple little symbol “$”. It’s tangible you can touch it, count it, play in it. When we were young we didn’t care about how much an astronaut got paid or how difficult it was to become a pro athlete. All we knew was that we wanted it and could see ourselves already in that position. Our parents and everyone around us nurtured that dream. We were encouraged to do big things. Money was a funny word that old people used and the older you became the less people nurtured that dream. Money slowly starts to creep in your head. Do I have enough? This person says no, this product says no, this service says no. Money slowly takes hold of your mind and you no longer dream about flying to the moon. Instead you become trapped in the web of that symbol “$”.

This is why I do what I do. Missed the point? Didn’t explain enough? That is because you weren’t listening.Let me help.If you were told that tomorrow you wouldn’t be paid anymore for your job would you still stay at that job? Less dramatic you would get less then half your making now. How long would it take before you turned in your termination? What if you knew even though you were not getting paid you could help someone else? You could share your knowledge free of charge. You could show this other person how to be a better version of them. Would you still leave? What if you could have such a profound effect on someone that years after you are gone people still remember you? The greatest names in history, rich or not, are remembered for one thing, contribution. We remember people for how they contributed to the world. The best givers are the most remembered. The best givers are the most remembered. How much do you give during the course of your job? How many lives do you affect?

What do I do?

I help people. I show them how to get what they want. I am a life coach, I am a friend, I am a shoulder to lean on. I am support, I am motivation, I am tough love, and I am there. I show you what you can become. I am a guide. I care where you’re going and how you want to get there. I want to surround you with people that feel the same as I do. This is what I do. This is why I am a coach. At the end of the day if I didn’t get paid I would still do what I am doing.

Understand now?
