Ellen St.George Godfrey - Entrepreneurial Coach

It may sound strange to hear, but many people are programmed for failure. We come up with all sorts of rationalizations, but what it really comes down to is that we are used to not succeeding. We learn all kinds of habits that defeat us, from putting off work over and over again to repeating self-defeating predictions to ourselves until they become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Success coaching combined with the National Agents Alliance system is a simple idea, but a powerful one: by focusing on learning the techniques, habits, and skills of successful sales people, we can all become more productive, successful, and happy people.

Of course, the idea of success coaching isn’t exactly new. As matter of fact, it has its antecedents in many disciplines of psychology. Freud himself did a lot of work on the self-defeating and self-undermining attitudes that so many people have. He had his own theory about why they occur, as other psychologists had their own theories.

The success coach doesn’t focus so much on the theories as on the behaviors themselves. In success coaching, we don’t really try to look for the underlying causes, but find out the ways you can break through the behaviors.

I have friends who are success coaches and I think they really rubbed off on me. Ultimately, I have always been the kind of person who has to make his own mistakes.

I only started to taste success with National Agents Alliance after I decided to focus on independently on National Agents Alliance.

I knew that I had to take a stand and change my habits to focus 100% of my time on my one business and things would take off. I looked at my own life and business habits, and made a list of everything I do wrong and everything I do right.

Then I systematically decided how I was going to transform my worst habits into my best. Imagine that, turning your worst habit into your best attribute each year. It wouldn’t be long before you’ve completely transformed your character identity for the better of course.

For me, success coaching is about positively impacting the lives of other people and benefiting from those relationships for the rest of my life. There are a lot of success coaches out there, but none of them have an actual business system to help you achieve freedom.

And freedom is what everybody really wants and needs so that they can create more time to focus on those things they want to change in their life. (That’s why I partnered with National Agents Alliance.)

Many success coaches just scream at you from behind to “get going” but all that fuel does you no good without a map to follow.

It’s like stepping your foot down on the electric peddle in those go carnival go carts that seem to spin all over the place without having total control of your direction.

Sure there are those who already have a solid business and system to follow but in most cases, those people already have mentoring or coaching from the person who taught them the business. Most people need success coaching but they need a business system to go with it.

And even when you have the best mentor money can buy who tells you exactly what to do, you’re still going to fail and make mistakes. But you have to learn to love making mistakes and grow from them. Sometimes having to figure things out yourself makes the understanding much deeper.

Nonetheless, I still wish that I had a success coach in those early years to tell me exactly what I needed to do. It would have made my learning curve much shorter and saved me a lot of time and money.

Fortunately, NAA has a network of a few thousand agents who network and share ideas with each other through daily conference calls, recorded audios and live events. You just can’t get a better support system than this. Click the link for a taste of National Agents Alliance Success Coaching.
