Expanding your possibility is another way to encapsulate his work;
which is why I started with the notion that your possibility depends
on your thinking; can you see the correlation?

I must share this story of my client with you; it is a long story, but
I would make it as short as possible. He had a very happy
upbringing, but his father was a strict disciplinarian who would not
tolerate a man showing any sign of weakness. He found out at the
age of 10 that he was adopted. In his young mind, it all made sense
now because his father’s attitude was down to the fact that he
wasn’t the biological son of the man. This conclusion is
unfortunately not true because the father treated the biological son
the same way. Whatever you believe to be true will be true for you
in your body soul and spirit. Fast track to a forty-year-old
phenomenon coach. The young man is now a grown-up man
making a difference in the life of other people. One challenge is
that the self-doubt remains in his mind that he is not worthy. He
was afraid to charge the appropriate fees for his services; he was
playing small amid abundance. You remember the newspaper
article I shared earlier in this book with the caption ‘Fixing a
business without fixing the person behind the business is fruitless’
To cut a long story short, we did not work on his business strategy
at all because what had to change was his mindset. Mindset
transformation is a very powerful step for anyone whether in
business or not. However, if you have got a deep-seated negative
self-image, you need a knowledgeable coach to help you shift and
rapidly too. Within 3 months of deep coaching, his life has
transformed 360 degrees. He got married and his business
skyrocketed to close $500k in 6 months after the coaching. He
wanted to remain a client, but I knew that his transformation was
complete, so I declined. He was taken aback but we remain friends
and he has since referred so many clients to me. My point is that
possibility has no limit except those we set up in our own mind.
The lesson is that our childhood should not define our future but
unfortunately, most people cannot escape this shackle!
Let me conclude this section with a quote from Timothy Gallwey
‘Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own
performance. It is to help them learn instead of teaching them’
This is the philosophy I also apply in my coaching practice; I help
