Being a comic book fan, I knew that Nicole Bandes and I would get along when I read a blog post that she wrote
titled "Even Batman needed an Alfred".
Batman is one of the best heroes out there, able to keep the streets of Gotham safe. That's not an easy thing to do, since Gotham is a pretty messed-up fictional city!
Although he has none of the super powers of Superman or Wonder Woman, he's disciplined and has trained his body to its peak optimization, is a brilliant detective, and also a billionaire who can afford all sorts of crazy toys and gadgets to help him with his mission to protect the innocent from criminals.
Yet he still can't do it alone.
While Batman is out at night doing his thing, he has his faithful butler Alfred Pennyworth manning the computers and keeping things running smoothly in the Batcave.
Alfred is arguably his most important ally, because he takes care of the things that Batman shouldn't be doing - so he can focus on what he should be doing.
Nicole's point in her blog post is that coaches and online entrepreneurs shouldn't try to do everything themselves. They need someone back in their "Batcave" to help them with their mission.
And since building a business can be a lonely experience, they can always use someone to help keep them accountable ...
With that in mind, we've started doing a "Motivation Monday" thing inside The Coaching Jungle Facebook group every week - which Nicole will monitor and give free accountability and support to help you hit your goals.
The post goes up tomorrow at 10 AM EST, and if you aren't already a member of the group you can join and get accountability here:
