Busy Doing Backflips

My Wednesday morning routine is a little off since I'm currently doing a 6:00am gymnastics course. I did have it in my schedule to write my blog after class but I got caught up learning something new (and having fun).

​Today we were recording some content for The Conscious Builder Show. After class we were recording a few more things and one thing lead to another. Before I knew it, Coach Kazam was teaching me how to do a backflip.

I've been jumping on trampolines and snowboarding for most of my life and I've never been able to do a backflip. There has always been something in my head stopping me. Today, within 20 minutes, I was doing backflips.

All I needed was proper coaching.

​We often underestimate the power of a coach. Somebody who knows what to look for. Somebody to call us out when we're bullshitting ourselves and cheer us on when we're down on ourselves. Somebody who's success is dependant upon our success.

Learning how to do a backflip may not sound like much but it's something I have not been able to do for 33 years. Within 20 minutes I'm now confident I can do it. Am I a master? No. But I'm well on my way and I'm lightyears ahead of where I was when I first woke up this morning.

No book, youtube video or podcast could have taught me what I learned this morning as quickly as I learned it.

Where can you use a coach or a mentor in your life? How much more could you accomplish? How much more confidence would you have? How much better would your life be?
