There's an old story arc in the "Iron Man" comics called "Demon In A Bottle".

In it, Tony Stark's world is crashing down around him, and he hits the booze hard. His life is a mess, and he has to give up being Iron Man until he can get back on track.

I see a lot of coaches struggle with the bottle too - but it's a different kind of bottle.

This one is related to the saying:

"You can't read the label when you're inside the bottle"

Coaches who are great at helping their clients get results are struggling with their own businesses, because they're too close to the action.

You can be the most motivated and disciplined person in the world, but still need help from the outside.

To use another metaphor, you "can't see the forest for the trees".

 

If this sounds like you, you'll want to attend the interactive workshop that Ryan Mathie from High-Performing Coach is doing this Thursday at 1 pm EST. 

 

During the workshop Ryan will be helping coaches break through any blocks that they have, in real time. 

 

And if you aren't ready to share, you can still learn from what he'll be doing for the others there. 

 

Seats are limited, and here's the link to grab yours:
