Have you ever had that feeling when:

You’ve got a great coach  + the information is amazing,

but you just need time to assimilate it all?

Better still, you just need to implement.

My name is Liz Scully. I’m a business strategist.

I’ve had many coaches and I’ve coached many people. So, I’ve seen this from both sides. What tends to happen is all that great information needs time to breathe, so you can actually do the work of implementation.

This is part of why being in a Mastermind group is so wonderful.

Because it gives you exactly that. It gives you what you need for each session.  If you’ve questions, we’ll answer those and if you need a supportive space to just get on and implement – then you have that. We’ll cheer you on and not cluttter up all that motivatioin with new thoughts right when you don’t need them. That will wait, till you’re ready for more input.

So, just being in a Mastermind group is great.

And to be clear – many of the people in my Mastermind groups also have a personal coach, some of them have an <extra> business coach, some of them have a copy coach. Mastermind people tend to be strivers who are keen to get on.

Being coached, and being in a Mastermind are not mutually exclusive. That said, of course, you can simply be in the Mastermind group. All my Masterminds come with deep strategy coaching.

So for some people – with a personal coach, a business coach, a Mastermind with coaching plus maybe you’re doing a course too –

that can be awful lot of information coming at you.

Some of which is going to be brilliant but needs digesting before implementing. Some of it you’re ready to get on with immediately.

So my advice is to take a mini-pause in your 1-2-1 coaching but stick with the Mastermind. The group knows your goals and is fine with you just implementing.

If your regular 1-2-1 coaching has come to an end, maybe take a few months before you start again, or simply just ask your coach for a month pause while you assimilate.

Assimilation is really important.

It allows you to take all the good stuff you’ve been discussing with your coach and get real results. But that  ‘over-coached’ feeling is as though you’re full to your eyebrows and can’t take in any more information in. Not pleasant.

That said – maybe a question will come up as you’re implementing… 

From strategy to launch plans, pricing or positiioning – I can help you with that. 

Bring it along to the next live Q&A.
