I suppose by way of introducing myself I would say that I am just a man, maybe even an average man, though I'm not sure what average is. I might also share that I have a burden. Every day I am around people who are dissatisfied and frustrated with their lives. They are burnt out or they are fighting any number of battles within themselves, usually alone. Functioning people who don't need therapy but don't see a very bright future as they trudge from one day to the next. Guys who want help but are convinced there is a stigma attached or they are just too proud. People who feel they have built a house of cards and may lose it all unless there are changes made but the thought of counseling makes their skin crawl. Angry people who will wait to get the help they need until they are forced to go through the motions by the legal system while their life is in shambles! People who have been in a rut so long they have hung pictures! This is my burden. Because I have been there myself and I want to help. I can help! To share with them that there is a purpose for their being on this huge spinning rock we call earth and they can live a happy, peaceful life. They don't have to bail on their life dreams just because something needs restructured or tweaked. Or maybe they need to let something go that is holding them back. I am not a therapist.consultant, counselor, or guru. I am a coach.
I am just a man. A working man. I have been at it for nearly 40 years trying to make a buck while making sense of the craziness. From menial labor and running heavy equipment to owning a successful high end interior/exterior trim company in Vail for ten years. Claiming the first impressions people had when they drove up to a multi million dollar mansion and took in the craftsmanship that my crew and I had put into their dream. I made money like a horse but I suffered the same burn-out and battles that I witness raging around me today. One day I simply threw in the towel, sent my employees packing and I quit.
So do I have it all figured out? I wish I could say yes! But like I said, I am just a man. As stuck with the human condition as you but I have found the key. It is to get help when you need it. It may be as simple as finding a closed mouthed friend to bounce ideas off of. As for myself, as an entrepreneur I had no one to share frustrations and challenges with. Having someone to use as a sounding board would have been like gold.
