Here's PROOF that anyone can change when committed to a personal development plan.
I'm going to share something personal with you:
I pulled this personality profile from my archives.
This was 2003 with Tony Robbins – EIGHT years before I took the plunge to hire my first “real” coach.
Check out the highlighted text “Joey sees no need to change his approach to solving problems or dealing with challenges in his present environment.”
A cool way of saying “Joey is not open to personal development because he's attached to his own ways.”
Isn't that true for almost everyone? We are so attached to “how we do things” that any change freaks us out.
I'll prove it to you:
My NEW Personal Development Plan
In 2011, my attitude (at the beginning) was STILL the same – “I don't do things that way…” I told my coach.
Here I am, EIGHT YEARS LATER…still thinking the same, in the same place, doing the same things wrong and paying a dude 20k so I can resist change.
Stubborn? Yea.
Scared? Totally.
And not to mention all the years of business BEFORE 2003 ( I began in 1987).
So imagine how far my personal development plan would be IF I had the access to what you and so many other have access to in today's world.
Maybe the mindset shift would have happened sooner.
Back then, paying for Tony Robbins CDs and education was a HUGE deal…and it wasn't so “cool” to HAVE or even talk about a personal development plan, because you were “weird.”
Today, a personal development plan is kind of a “must-have” and it's so widely accepted.
PD is ALL over the internet.
People post all day long – how to improve our lives, how to make better choices…how to stop doing what they hate doing, how to have better relationships and take more time off so they can enjoy their families…
But they ain't DOING IT.
They “see no need to change their approach”.
I'm here to tell you – ahem…sorry THEM, they DO!
