When people ask me what the key was for me to get from part-time coach to full-time coach, I always say the key was hiring a mentor coach.

First, the final test for knowing I had bought into coaching was that I was willing to spend a good bit of money on hiring a great coach for myself. I could feel the inner turmoil as I wrote out a big check. I wrested with the idea of “If coaching really works, then I should get a good return on this money.” And I did.
