Hi, my name is Michael Palmer. I'm a Business Coach and the founder of Beyondbreakthroughs.com Coaching. As a coach, I'm privileged to work with people that want to be exceptional in their business and life. Our clients want to lead a life where they can look back and say "there is nothing left...I gave it my all and squeezed out every drop." A breakthrough moment occurs when a client sees that it has been their own self imposed limiting perceptions that have kept the lid on their performance. Beyond the breakthrough the pathway to results become clear, actions to take seem natural and the results come rapidly.

 I have a business coaching client who is building a business from scratch. She is stuck on a few things and what she would love is to find a bunch of people that could help her solidify her vision and put the business together. So what can she do?
It reminded me of an old fashioned barn raising party where all the neighbouring farmers would come together to help build the barn.
The mental image is this barn being completed with all these helpful neighbours coming by to chip in and help to get the barn completed quickly. What we don't think about is how much work that farmer put in before anybody showed up. There had to be a vision for what the barn would look like, a plan for how the barn would be built, resources, equipment and materials required to build the barn had to be sourced all before anyone showed up. Otherwise people would show up and be just standing around with nothing to do.
The point of the analogy is this...there is a lot that can be done even if you don't have the help or the answers so just get started building a plan and taking action. Don't forget to get the word out there and let people know what you are up to. There are people out there that love to help other people succeed and you never know what they might be able to contribute or who they can connect you with. Whatever you can do or think you can do just get started by having a vision and putting some of the pieces into place.
I was reading Chris Brogan's blog post titled "Who Does Ray Need to Reach" and I thought it was appropriate to this topic. Ray has spent his last dollar producing an independent movie and needs help. He has tried everything that he can to make the project successful and it hasn't worked. How he got Chris to lend a hand is unknown (you never know how people can help) and not as important as the fact that Chris has sent out 30,000 emails this morning looking for anyone that might have an idea or help to give. Whether it makes the difference that Ray needs doesn't matter as much as the fact that Ray is taking action and moving forward every way he can. That is Determination. I think it's a cool example of a modern-day barn raising leveraging social media so check out Chris's Blog because he always has amazing content.
Just get started...
