Why Invest? A Procrastination Story

Why choose coaching? Think about the last time you felt stuck—like you were spinning your wheels but not really moving forward. We’ve all been there. Sometimes the challenge is figuring out how to reach the goal you’re aiming for, and other times it’s realizing the goal itself isn’t the right one. That’s where coaching comes in.

Coaching isn’t about someone telling you what to do. It’s about having a partner who listens, asks the right questions, and helps you notice things you might be too close to see for yourself. It’s like having a guide who shines a flashlight on the path when things feel dark or confusing.

A few years back, one of my clients came to me because his wife told him he needed coaching. He put it off until his wife contacted me and literally scheduled his session. (A fact I didn’t realize until the first session.) You see, my client knew he was stuck in his career and his life. He blamed it on procrastination. “I’ve always been this way,” he shared. But after a few sessions, he realized the real issue: he was chasing what he thought he should do instead of what he actually wanted. Once we uncovered his true goals and motivations, the procrastination faded, milestones felt easier, and his whole life began to shift.

That’s the power of coaching. When you invest in it, you’re investing in clarity, confidence, and often, momentum. You start noticing your blind spots, challenging the beliefs that hold you back, and creating a plan that feels both doable and exciting. The ripple effect is real—you show up differently at work, manage stress better, and feel more present in your relationships.

Life is busy, and it’s easy to put yourself last. Coaching is your reminder that you matter too—and when you grow, everything around you shifts for the better. So if you’ve been wondering whether it’s worth it, here’s your answer: it is. Because you are.
