Hi there, this is Andrew Smith International Life Coach with a question for you: The question today is “Have you clearly defined you goals?”

Within the work I do, making sure that people have specific, measurable goals that they have committed to paper is in my opinion the starting point for my client’s journey. It is so commonplace in my thinking, that I believe everyone must know the importance of writing down their goals and dreams. Why? Because the very act of writing them down, makes them tangible and real!

This morning I received an email from a prospective client in reply to a challenge I made to them to “define your goals!” This person’s response was: “The biggest change I have made is to actually write down my goals in minute detail, even doing that is so focusing and empowering!”

I know from my own experience and from the experiences that my clients have shared with me; that speaking out what we would like to happen, is the beginning of the change that brings about our goals and desires! According to the bible that is exactly how God made everything, by simply speaking it into being: “And God said let there be light and there was light!”

If you write down your goal and then carry it with you and read it often; you will start to imagine your life as it will be when the goal is completed. When your intended outcome is constantly in your mind, it will keep you focussed and help you to believe that your dream will become your reality.

If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know even if you get there that you’ve arrived?

Albert Einstein said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand; whilst imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” So we can see that imagination is the preview of life’s coming attractions. It therefore makes good sense to use our imaginations today to create the life we’ve always intended to have.

I hope that I’ve given you food for thought and if you’d like to speak to me all you have to do is either email me at info@andrewsmithlifecoach.com or call me now on 0800 085 8056 that’s if you’re in the UK or Internationally on +44 114 251 4951 and we can arrange the best time and date for you to experience your own free Life Coaching session.

Andrew is not only a great coach but a true friend who understands human nature. He has a great knack for being able to understand you as an individual rather than using a one size fits all approach. Jeff Gee - Washington, USA - Singer Songwriter                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Andrew is extremely passionate and holds you to a great standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending anyone to Andrew for coaching. Kam Khara - Oakham, Rutland - Brian Tracy Associates UK Business Development Manager                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      I think that your spiritual/rational approach works incredibly well. The spiritual side, in particular, is so different from other approaches I’ve tried in the past: theres nothing esoteric about it, it just makes sense. Marco Schnabl - London - Record Producer                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I never expected the level of support I received from Andrew, nothing seemed a problem or effort for him; he made sure that our conversations were worthwhile and uplifting. Eva Godden - Kingston-Upon-Thames - Marketing Lecturer                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Andrew is a true inspiration. His knowledgeable insights, positive perspective and inner calm are ideal qualities for helping others learn how to achieve their goals. Julie Yount-Morgan Exeter, Devon - Singer/Songwriter                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      I found the course to be extremely useful; you have given me new insights and food for thought in each session. I have learned new techniques and concepts and realized I have had some limiting attitudes. Alan Pickard Bristol, UK - Accountant                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      As for my feelings about Life Coaching with Andrew I would personally recommend him to anyone and in fact regularly do!
