Have you always wanted to write your own life story? Why haven’t you done so yet?
At the start of the second half of the year, it is the perfect time to ask this question.
What is holding you back?
SET THE INTENTION
How about writing and publishing your very own memoir or life story – and complete all of this before 2025 dives in the dust?
WHY USE A WRITING COACH?
People who use a coach to make their aspirations a reality, on average fare much better than those who go at it themselves. Why is that?
Here are six good reasons:
Clarity and focus
A coach helps distil your dreams into clear, actionable goals. If you have yearned for the longest time to write your life story, a writing coach can sharpen that vision and break it into achievable steps.
Without clarity, energy is wasted on distractions. A coach will keep you aligned with your deeper purpose.
Accountability
A writing coach becomes a consistent point of accountability – someone who will check in, challenge excuses, and keep momentum going when self-motivation wanes.
Encouragement and emotional support
We as writers often end up in self-doubt. A coach offers encouragement, perspective, and emotional grounding. This consistent support is often the difference between giving up and pushing through.
Coaches believe in you when you forget how to.
Strategy
A writing coach offers frameworks, tools, and feedback that accelerate learning and reduce trial-and-error.
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel!
Perspective and reflection
It’s sometimes hard to read the label from inside the jar.
It isn’t always easy to tackle the hard questions and revisit certain parts of your life, to tell your story. But there are multiple ways to deal with these emotional pitfalls.
A writing coach will be right there to guide you through the difficult parts and provide perspective on how to put emotion on paper.
Momentum and structure
Dreams often fade because life gets busy. Coaches help build routines, structure, and habits that keep the dream alive.
Discipline grows faster with guidance.
