The most successful people in the world have all had at one time a great coach. Achieving you goals and dreams will be easier if you learn from someone that has already succeeded at what it is you want to accomplish. 
As I mentioned before, setting goals is easy and many people set goals and have dreams, but few achieve them. Your mission for 2010 is to achieve as many of your goals as you can. You may not achieve them all in 2010, some may take longer, some of your goals may change, or other opportunities may develop as a result of you pursuing your goals, but what counts is that you set goals and then set out to accomplish those goals.
You have been zeroing in on your goals, dreams, passion and purpose for three days now. Indentifying your purpose and dreams and setting goals will always be a “work in progress.” After these 12 days are over, you will still tweak, adjust, change and/or add to your goals, dreams, vision, passions, purpose, desires…what ever you want to call them.
Today you need to start thinking about who will coach you. I do not mean you need to hire a success or life coach, I mean who can you learn from in your community, online, in your church, on your job, etc.
Coaches are everywhere. I even learned from my two and half year old daughter a new way to have more faith and not worry. Coaches are everywhere. Where can you find or get coaching:
1) Read Books
a) Biographies of people who have achieved greatness from poverty or obstacles
b) Specific to your goal or what you want to accomplish
c) Motivational and Inspiration books
d) Personal growth books
e) How to books to improve or learn an area of expertise
2) Webinars and Conference Calls: they are offered on every topic you can think of and most of them are free. Best places to find out about them is by joining networking groups on sites such as Facebook or Successful Thinkers.
3) Network, network, network! I have met and been introduced to so many highly successful people through networking and as a result I am heading towards my goals and dreams faster than I thought possible.
4) You may need a success or life coach if you feel you need specific one on one direction to help you focus on reaching your goals. There are many to choose from and the cost vary greatly. Do your homework or get a recommendation from someone when choosing this type of coach.
5) Online or Off-line courses. There are a ton of courses you can take to help you reach you goals. You could probably figure it out, but time is of the essence…so get training every chance you get.
6) I saved the best and most important coach for here: God. You have to have God as your primary coach along with your pastor or minister. It is God who will help you identify your purpose and it is God who will give you that sense of going in the right or wrong direction. God is the Almighty Coach. You need Coach Jesus.
Exercise 6:
Look over the list you have been working with for the past three days. Identify a goal or two and find a coach to help you reach that goal. That could be a book, a course, a webinar, a success or life coach, or someone who has already accomplished your goal. Just be open and coaches will start to appear.
It is said that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
Reminders:
• Keep working on your vision board, but it must be done or nearly done before the first of the year.
• Continue to tweak, change, adjust or add to your list.
• Each day write down at least three things you are grateful for. Keep an attitude of gratitude.
