I am currently taking a course to be a personal life coach and in my training we were given a list of 10 questions to ask our new clients. I’d like to share that list with you so you can start asking these questions of yourself. They may seem simple, but they are designed to get the client to open up and start talking about issues the coach can help them with.

1. What do I really want?
This may seem like a simple enough question, but a lot of people don’t really know what they want. They know what their spouses want, or their children, but not themselves.

2. Am I happy with what I’m doing and the situation I am in?
Are you finding satisfaction and happiness with your current situation (job, relationships, etc)? If there’s an area that you answered ‘no’, that’s where you should start.

3. What motivates me?
What motivates you to want to do better with your life? Find what keeps you going and use that as fuel to keep improving.

Making changes is never easy. There are going to be times when you want to give up and go back to your old ways. When that hapens, and it will, ask yourself these three questions. Hopefull they will help you get back on track.
