Personal Growth Challenge & Questions (Coaching Tips)
Do you have a plan to grow?
Ask your self “How did this building we are in come about?”
In what order were the parts of the building made or built?
Why should I focus on growth more than goals?
Growth always exceeds goals. Goals have a stopping point.
Start Making Your Plan…. NOW!
Start asking the big questions now
1. Where do you want to go?
2. What direction do you want to go?
3. What’s the farthest you can imagine going?
4. How long will it take?
Not having all the answers is normal but keep asking them daily!
Make your plan now. Now is the best time to start. Some day is not programed on your watch but today is. Step out and create action.

Look at your calendar for the next year: Schedule specific, timed and focused growth plans. If you think you don’t have to time to schedule something else, imagine what last year could have looked like if you had scheduled plans for growing.
Remember, growing is not a goal, but a life-long process that MUST start with being intentional. While scheduling growth time may seem simplistic, it IS the beginning of action intention.
Someone once said, “Do what you love so well that someone will pay you to do it.”
