I have 12 paying life coaching clients every month and about the same number of pro bono ones. Not too bad for a Life Coach who does not advertise and depend solely on word-of-mouth. Anyway I am 3 clients away from my 15 paid clients a month target.

I am averaging 2 paid training/speaking assignments each month so that’s within the target set.

One thing I wanted to do though and haven’t start….I want to write at least 2 original articles for this blog each week.

I’ll start in a while.

As a virtual assistant who is currently working with a life coach, I am a big proponent of setting measurable goals. A good way to make those goals more real is to write them down. But another more concrete way to is tell someone – make yourself accountable. Become friendly with someone else who is also measuring goals, tell each other your goals, how you expect to achieve them, and when you expect results. You then hold each other accountable – congratulating them on their successes, holding their hands during the set-backs.

This has worked tremendously for me. Not only has it made me set goals that are actually being worked on, but it has made me step out of my comfort zone and reach for the stars.
