If you find that you are constantly all over the place and have a schedule that would make someones head spin, it is time to talk about...

“She’s way too young, she could never help me.” 

“You’ve got to be kidding, I was an adult when she was born.”

“Your first year in business? You’re just getting your feet wet. There is no way you can help me with my problems.”

If you are a younger coach (either by age or experience) you might have had one of those awkward moments where you are not treated fairly due to your lack of experience (or someone’s perception of your inexperience). Perhaps someone said one of the sentences above to you or worse, danced around the issue when what they really meant to say was…. 

“Who do you think you are coaching people without more experience?” 

(I’ve actually heard this one first hand… yep). 

When this happens, it can leave you feeling angry, hurt, frustrated and down right mad. Just because you are young doesn’t make you less qualified. Does it?

Have you ever made a very clear plan for something, and then “Bam!” things A, B & C happens that throw you off track for a day, a week or sometimes even a month or more? Essentially, everything goes to sh!t. It can be so frustrating when things don’t go the way you have planned them to go, especially when it comes to your business.

This recently happened to me and (I won’t lie) I did have a few moments of a “pity party”! Luckily however, because of a practiced discipline I learned years ago of focusing on why everything is always working out for me, I didn’t stay there too long. :)

I wanted to share this quick story with you because as a coach and entrepreneur this probably happens to you from time to time (if not regularly). I know that if you don’t nip the negative emotion from this scenario in the bud quickly, it can begin to take over your day, week or month.
