I once read an article about "The Naked Hermit", a man who left civilization to go live by himself on a secluded island for almost 30 years.
He wasn't happy with his life in Japan, so he said "screw it".
He sailed off to go walk around naked and enjoy nature by himself on his own patch of land in
the ocean.
(Apparently he loved his life there, but got booted off by authorities)
Running an online business often feels like you're living on a secluded island, and like our hermit friend clothing is optional since most coaches work from a home office.
Not like a secluded island you say?
Sure, you get to talk with clients and contacts on Zoom every day, and you carry on
conversations by email and on social media.
But it can still be very isolating. If you aren't careful, it's easy to fall into the trap of working a ton of hours and not getting outside to see other living people.
And if your business is struggling, you can't talk with your clients about your challenges or ask them for help.
I compare it to Tom Hanks' role in "Castaway" - and we don't even have a
volleyball named Wilson to keep us company!
It may not seem like this feeling of isolation is widespread in the coaching community, judging by the smiling faces and picture perfect posts on social media, but off-the-record plenty of coaches have admitted to me that they often feel lonely.
