Why I decided to become a coach.

I became a coach because I thought I had certain things figured out in my life.

I have learned how to achieve goals, optimize my personal productivity, how to remain consistent with healthy habits and get rid of my limiting beliefs.

I thought my sharing of experience would be helpful to the people I interact with.

My learning would make a difference in the life of the people with whom I partner with.

In the beginning, I got a lot of weird looks and the occasional comments like what extraordinary have you achieved in your life to impact other's lives.

The truth is, most of your friends and ex-co-workers just don’t see you as a coach.

I convinced myself that it is totally okay because most people only know you in your previous role and it’s difficult for them to see you differently.

Also, when people you surround with seeing you take such big leaps in your life attacks their ego and makes them feel inadequate about themselves and in defense, they put you down.

It happens with all kinds of business or startup you start with, coaching should not be an exception.

The world is waiting for you to unleash.

When you follow your own true North you create new opportunities to create the life you want and have a different experience of life thus created.

Just go for it. Make no mistake. Don't think too much. Take a plunge.
The world is waiting for you.
Waiting for you to stop seeking permission to be your true self.

The world is waiting for you to pick yourself up and do more of what makes you feel alive.

The world is waiting for you to stop questioning yourself.

Be your true self. Create your life the way you want.

Everything is figureoutable.

When you believe that everything is manageable, everything is figureoutable, opportunities open up for you, to do more, to achieve more.
Yes, figureoutable is the new word coined.
Something you can figure out, something you can handle, something you can manage.
Whether you believe that everything is doable, or everything is not — you are still right.

One cup coffee business.



In a coffee shop, on a cup of coffee, you can strike a great conversation.

Either you can listen to someone or he can listen to you.

Either you coach, or get coached.

Either you provide mentoring or get mentored.

You can inspire others or get inspired by others.

Either you bring a smile to others or you find a reason to smile.

You can notice someone or get noticed by someone.

Either you encourage someone or get encouraged by someone.

Either you impress or get impressed.

Either you feel connected from a distance or feel disconnected on the same table.

You can laugh over an issue or become a laughing issue.

You can resolve a complex issue or make an issue more complex.

Either you make the relationship or break the relation.

For a cup of coffee, either you prepare to gain something or you tend to lose everything.

This is how a deal goes on a cup of coffee.

Do you read the manual or write the manual?


There are two types of people. One who read the manual and others who write the manual.
There are those who tend to comply with what is being told to them and there are those who find their own way, innovate and discover the way.



·       There are those who are depending on others for their well-being and there are those who make their own future without depending upon anyone. 



·       There are those who do not get adapted to the change in the situation and feel happy to complain and there are those who love to drive the change and find happiness in the change.



·       There are those who always prefer to play safe and not ready to take the risk and there are those who think that playing safe is a risk and they believe risk-taking is part of life.



·       There are those who work only when they are being watched or monitored and there are those who aspire to greatness and do what they think is right.



·       There are those who follow the instruction given in manual word-to-word, finding solace in its black and white script and there are those who know that instructions are just guidelines and require intelligent interpretation and wisdom to navigate through.



·       There are those who think that their role as a manager is to make sure that everyone is working and remain busy and there are those who understand that leadership is about inspiring and developing others to rise to their true potential.





·       There are those who accept the religion and faith as what being taught to them and follow blindly the same and there are those who pursue truth and purpose to find an ultimate meaning to the religion.



·       There are those who reflect back on their life and wish, “I wish my life would have smooth …” and there are those who look back and feel happy, “I enjoyed the ups and downs of my life ..”

How about you? Do you read the manual or write it?

Even if you read the manual you are still not late to write it.

Get ready to grab it.


Get ready to grab it.

If you want something in your life, reach out and grab it.

If you’ve been praying a long for it, open your hands to receive it.

Don’t be scared. Don’t be hesitant.

Don’t think whether you deserve it or not.

Don’t feel discouraged if you are not progressing the way you like to.

Don’t let yourself down thinking if you are one of those fortunate few.

Don’t make rehearsal of past failures in your mind repeatedly.

Instead, get ready.

Expect good things to happen.

Expect opportunities walking your way.

Bow down and embrace them.

Acknowledge the happenings.

Something good is just around the corner, sense it, smell it, feel it, experience it.

Get ready, something great is going to happen!

Is it possible to have too many good people in your life?

Is it possible to have too many good people in your life?
What I mean, people who bring out the best in you.
People who crack a joke and make you laugh when you are sad.
People who guide you to remain focused and motivated.
People who selflessly provide you with guidance and time to time mentoring.
People who stand by your side during difficult times.
People whom you call as close ones who display character and remain genuine at all times.
People who truly see the good in you and want to bring the best out of you.
I guess, we all know the answer.
So when you really find good people like this, hang on to them, and let them feel they are important for you.
And then, make sure that you become a good person in return for them.
Then we can say it is possible to have too many good people in our life.
