Today I launch a brand new course:

The Coach MBA (Marketing & Business training for Accredited coaches).

Last week I was with my old broking firm in the city of london.

And it hit me.

How wonderfully things have changed.

It was not long ago I told myself I was a drinker and I might as well just get on with it.

When I asked my old boss if the company would pay for my MBA.

He retorted, “How the F will that make me any more money?”

And followed it up with,

“Don’t try and be someone you are not!”

He was also saying you are a drinking, it’s what you are good at.

People like you because you drink. You’re great fun and an entertainer.

They don’t care about your education!

My boss was both right and terrbilly wrong.

He was right when he said don’t try to be someone you are not.

But he had mistaken me for the person that alcohol created.

The real me, the authentic me, was bursting to be free.

The real me want to learn, grow and develop!

I quit that job.

Everyone said I was mad.

But I knew it had to be done.

And I trained as a coach.

Went back to university part-time.

Quit alcohol.

Wrote a book…

And the rest as they say is now history.

Here is the point:

Life is one massive self-fulfilling prophecy, and the stories we tell about ourselves always come true.

For decades, I told a story that I was a drinker.

It was just who I was.

It did not matter that my health was suffering, I was overweight, unfit, unhealthy, unmotivated and at times unhappy.

This was my story and I was sticking to it.

I, along with too many people, had fallen into the trap and believed that who I was is who I will always be.

When we look into the past for clues of how to behave in the present, we create a litany of similar behaviours.

So you quickly get trapped in a loop.

Like Sisyphus, cursed by the Gods to forever push a boulder to the top of a hill, only to see it roll back down again.

‘I haven’t done this before, I failed at something similar, I could never give up the booze, this always happens to me, I am going to give up trying to give up, I can’t do this, I am rubbish at this type of thing…..

The list goes on and on.

Our past story keeps repeating in the present, which paves the way for our future.

Unless you wake up.

And realise that your future is unwritten.

Today, you can write a new story.

The story of the life you always wanted to lead

The person you always wanted to become.

Within a few days or weeks, this will become your past!

And you will have transformed your future.

It is so simple.

Don’t look back to decide your future.

Write a new story in the present until your past reflects the future you desires!

Let me ask you a question - is it time you told a different story?

And what is the story you are going to tell today?

Your Coach,

Andy
