Discover The Fastest Way To Create Your Coaching Breakthrough and Achieve Your Goals

Have you ever felt like success is just out of reach—like you’re doing everything right, yet somehow, the breakthrough you’re waiting for hasn’t arrived? 

Some days, you attribute your results to bad luck, others, to your inexperience in life coaching. 

The truth is, you don’t have to wait for success to find you… 

You have the power to create it. 

Today we’ll be untangling skill and luck – and what you really need to become successful.

Let’s dive into the formula for success that will help you take control of your coaching business and achieve the results you desire.

find inspiration, get expert support, and accelerate your business results

The Misguiding “Success Equation” That May Be Keeping You Stuck

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Success is when opportunity meets preparation.” 

It sounds wise, right? But there’s a hidden trap in this belief that could be keeping you stuck.

If success only happens when preparation meets opportunity, then what happens when opportunities seem out of reach? 

You see, the idea that “success is when opportunity meets preparation”  may lead you to believe that the only part of that equation you can control is being prepared enough — so that when this elusive thing called “opportunity” finally decides to come and knock on your door, you’ll be ready for it.

This mindset can make you feel like you have no control over your success—like you’re just waiting for a lucky break. And that’s a dangerous belief to hold, especially when you’re building your coaching business.

The truth is, achieving success isn’t about sitting back and hoping the universe drops an opportunity in your lap… 

It’s about taking bold action—stepping outside your comfort zone and creating your own opportunities. 

The good news? This is entirely in your control.

The Key to “Create Your Own Luck” in Business and Become Successful 

Think about the most successful people you know. 

Did they wait for the perfect moment? No. 

They took bold, aligned action. They put themselves out there, reached out to potential clients, shared their message—even when they weren’t sure how it would be received.

Success isn’t about waiting for permission. 

It’s about saying, “I’m ready now,” and taking the step you can, right where you are. When you do this, the universe responds by aligning opportunities, resources, and connections in ways you couldn’t have imagined.

Maybe you’ve been telling yourself, “I just need one more certification, one more course, one more program before I’m ready.” But preparation without action leads to stagnation. 

Bold action is what turns preparation into results.

The REAL Success Formula: Success = Bold Action + Preparation

This is the formula to success that truly works. 

Yes, preparation is important—you want to learn new skills, refine your message, and have a solid foundation. But without bold action, all that preparation is just potential energy sitting on a shelf.

Think about it: If you wanted to learn to swim, you could read all the books, watch all the videos, and analyze every technique. But until you jump into the water, you’ll never actually swim. 

The same applies to your coaching business. 

The success equation isn’t just about being prepared—it’s about being willing to take the plunge.

Why Most Aspiring Coaches Fail to Take Bold Action and Achieve Success

Most new coaches believe that they need to be “more prepared” before they’re ready. 

But the truth is that being ready is a choice.

This is one of the secrets to becoming successful in life. 

Being ready doesn’t mean knowing everything —it means being willing to start where you are and take the next step. 

Others mistakenly think they need to feel more confident before putting themselves out there… but the only way to gain confidence is through action.

So, how do you shift from waiting to doing? How do you build up the courage to take bold action and achieve great success?

Simple Tools and Habits to Ignite Bold Action

To gain traction, you must take bold action frequently. This is not a “one-and-done” thing. So when it comes to incorporating it into your life, feel free to use systems that will help you make it a habit.

Here you’ll find some simple tools that will empower you to ignite bold action:

  1. Define What Success Means to You

Your version of success doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Ask yourself: What does achieving the success you desire look like? Is it a thriving coaching practice? The freedom to work on your own terms? More time with friends and family?

Get clear on what success truly means for you so you can take action toward your unique vision, instead of chasing someone else’s dream.

  1. Create Your Own Vision of Success

Visualization is a powerful tool. Picture yourself already being successful. Imagine waking up each morning excited to serve your clients, feeling fulfilled and abundant. When you embody this vision, you align your energy with the opportunities that will bring it to life.

  1. Build The Success Mindset of an Abundant Coach

Many coaches hold themselves back because they fear failure. 

But what if you reframed failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback? Even the most successful people have faced failures—often, their biggest breakthroughs came from moments that didn’t go as planned.

Instead of seeing mistakes as proof that you’re not ready, see them as part of the learning process. Failures can be attributed to stepping out of your comfort zone – they’re a sign of growth, not incompetence.

This is why building a success mindset is so important – it allows you to keep moving forward… 

And that makes your success inevitable!

    I know what you are talking about.
    I absolutely agree.
    If I could get in front of a group to speak I would do it right now. Today.
    Am I ready ?
    Absolutely not. But then again. I do it everywhere I go.
    So that is nothing new.
    The only things stopping me is time off work and money like that to pay to speak.
    If I could get paid for speaking? I’d do it anytime. Ready or not!

    P.S. Don’t spent your whole life waiting for your moment. This is the Holy Instant. Take It! Make it! Be it! Life is to precious to miss it!

    My Sweet Mary Morrissey, Dear Mat,
    My love and gratitude is immensely sincere and unique to You. I am thrilled to express my feelings frequently, either it may look like the wrapped, not offered present in my trembling hands!
    This time, as always you have touched truly interesting and valuable subject, and as always you are right!
    “Success and opportunity” – success is the product of knowledge and experience, opportunity is their nutritious ground and, it looks like the sunrise, if one waits too long, she/he misses it and any imagination, any dream, any success becomes unattainable forever!!!
    With Best Regards
    Mzia Lezhava
