Dear  Paul:

You are thinking about becoming  a life coach. I suggest that you can start this job, this occupation right away by having you as  your first  client. The thoughts that are stopping you, that inner critic’s input, every person has that inner critic. Your coaching  of others will have to include  dealing  with that voice.

I would say regarding your idea of  making a plan of  action, start small, make a simple, short plan of  action for today, something doable. This  will not stimulate that inner critic into a frenzy of discouraging messages, so you will have less friction accomplishing the few doable objectives in that daily plan. At the end of the day, having accomplished those few objectives, you will have a little bit  of confidence to repeat the next  day, another simple, doable daily plan. Over time, you will aim at bigger objectives.
