Only by arranging to have a coffee and chat did we find common ground and that resulted in an extremely positive and empowering partnership for both of us.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it doesn\u2019t always work out like that. If not, then we have to navigate our way to be around those positive and inspiring people as much as possible. And this could be online as much as in person.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more about this, here\u2019s a good read: <em>\u201cThe Proximity Principle\u201d<\/em> by Ken Coleman.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><em>&#8220;<\/em><em>If you want to turn your goals into reality faster, then get yourself in proximity with people who are playing the game at a higher level than you do.&#8221;<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">-Tony Robbins-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you <em>would <\/em>like to try coaching with me, I invite you to book a free consultation with me to see if we are a good fit.
