The Value Proposition

Posted on December 17, 2015 by Frederica Peterson, One of Thousands of Executive Coaches on Noomii.

What is the value of your ideas, dreams, and goals? I talk to so many people on a daily basis and I hear about dreams deferred, ideas that don’t manifest and goals not met. It pains me to hear this because I was there at one point in my life and I know it doesn’t have to be this way. So what changed for me? I became accountable to someone.

What is accountability? This is when two people come together in agreement on one goal. It is also when a person has committed to coming along side you to keep you on track with the goals you have set for yourself. Coaches are accountability partners. They help you see what is possible by removing the things that are blocking your vision.

Literally every successful person I know has someone they are accountable to. Accountability can bring life to your ideas. Think of Mark Zuckerburg, do you believe we would have Facebook if he didn’t have an accountability partner? Someone he had in his inner circle that was equipped to ask the right questions to help him birth the fullness of his ideas. How about Steve Jobs, Oprah, or Tony Robbins? Believe me they all had someone that saw their potential and helped them manifest their ideas.

I believe we all have world-class ideas that could literally change the trajectory of our lives. Every one of us was born with enormous amounts of potential. So why is it that our dreams, ideas and goals don’t come to life? Basically, we don’t dedicate the quality time necessary to labor our ideas to birth. Let’s be honest, in the activity of our daily lives our ideas and dreams are nothing but a mere nuisance, they could even be a source of frustration, so we just put them to the sidelines.

I would like to offer you a new perspective. Consider dedicating 1-hour a week to focus on your ideas, dreams, goals, and ultimately your possibilities. This one small act could change your life forever! I have seen it happen! It is such a small sacrifice to make for a potential dream deferred.

So, again, I present the Value Proposition: What value do you place on your ideas, dreams and goals? How important is it for you to discover what is possible and start taking the steps to get there? Whether it’s finding that new job; starting a new business; saving for retirement; getting in shape; finding the love of your life or enjoying the love you have; or just being happy. It all begins with taking your first step.
