Turning My Mess Into My Message
My life seemed to be falling apart piece by piece. My health was not good and I was constantly sick with no answers as to why. My marriage was in a constant state of stress, chaos and misery yet no matter how much mental health therapy I sought it was not improving. To top it all off, my kids were being bullied at school. The one thing that I had going for me is I had a great job that I loved and at times it was my saving grace. Yet the constant narrative going through my head was “I am not good enough”, I am not smart enough”, “I am not pretty enough” and “I am not healthy” among other random and persistent disempowering thoughts. I was always a troublemaker in school and that label seemed to have followed me into my relationship and sometimes work life as well.
After a visit to the doctor one day when he told me we needed to get my immune system built up then ushered me out the door with no clue as to how, I decided to take my health into my own hands.
I started by reading books on natural healing, nutrition, supplementation and then taking action and implementing new things into my life. They had recently opened a fitness center at my work for employees and I began an exercise program. My health began to improve and I became passionate about learning more and more. Yet my marriage continued to be a constant source of stress and beyond traditional psychological therapy, I didn’t know what else to do.

What is Business Coaching?

They work with entrepreneurs, business owners, sales professionals and executives. Business coaching is a valuable investment for anyone looking to improve their business performance, attract more clients, increase their revenue and achieve their goals. It can help entrepreneurs and business owners overcome challenges, develop new skills, and achieve greater success in their businesses.

How do I know if business coaching is right for me?
Business coaching can be a valuable investment for many people, but it’s not right for everyone. Here are some factors to consider when deciding whether business coaching is the right choice for you:
- Willingness to learn: Business coaching is most effective when the person is coachable, is open to learning and willing to make changes. If you’re resistant to feedback or unwilling to change your approach, coaching may not be the best fit.
- Time commitment: Coaching requires a time and energy commitment, both for the coaching sessions themselves and for any homework or action items that arise of those sessions. If you’re not able or willing to commit the time and energy required for coaching, it may not be the best option for you.
- Specific goals: Business coaching is most effective when you have specific goals in mind that you want to achieve. If you’re not sure what you want to achieve or what specific outcomes you’re looking for, a business coach can assist you at defining your goals if you are unsure or need direction.
- Need for accountability: If you struggle with accountability, procrastination and follow-through, coaching can be a great way to stay on track and achieve your goals. If you’re already good at holding yourself accountable, a coach can assist you with avoiding distractions that can take you off course.
- Mindset: If you have beliefs, habits or behaviors that are affecting your business, a business coach can work with you do discover what the challenging mindset issues are and transform them into productive and supportive mindset strategies. Again, a willingness to change, take feedback and implement are needed.
Overall, business coaching can be a valuable investment for many people, but it’s important to assess your own needs and goals to determine whether it’s the right choice for you. Having a discovery conversation with a coach can help you determine that choice.

Then a random conversation at a health food store with a Naturopathic Physician set something new in motion. He recommended I read the book Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom by Christiane Northrup. This book changed my life, maybe even saved my life. It wasn’t the health information that rocked my world but the idea that I was responsible for everything in my life. The light bulb went on. I didn’t have to be a victim anymore. I could change myself instead of letting circumstances control me.
I couldn’t get enough. I went to the bibliography and began devouring the books she was drawing from, then the bibliography of the next book, and the next book. I learned about the chakras, crystal healing, shamanism, intuition and life coaching and implementing changes to myself and my life. My health was improving; my internal state was improving which increased my capacity to deal with life more effectively. Suddenly people at work were hanging out in my cubicle and I was coaching them without really realizing that’s what I was doing. I was just doing what came natural to me. Helping others.
Then I received the CALL, you know the call the Universe sends to you that you have found your life’s calling; a vocation to start a coaching business and help others the way that I found help. New dilemma! How do I leave a job I have been at for over 21 years making good coin and start a business. I was separated from my then husband at the time and pulling the single mother gig too.
Well, the Universe stepped in again and after a prayer on a Sunday morning in August 2002, asking how to make it happen, I was laid off my job. Perfect but scary. I had just reconciled with my then husband and didn’t know if it would last but I saw the gift and started my first business as a Lifestyle and Fitness Coach doing fitness training, nutrition consulting, Reiki, hypnosis and life coaching.
I had no clue what I was doing. I was thinking Field of Dreams “If I build it they would come”. Wrong! There is so much more to building and growing a business than throwing your hat in the ring. Needless to say I was not making much money so in order to help support the family I needed to get a job.
The Universe stepped in again and I got a job doing wealth and business coaching for a New York Times best-selling author coaching her programs to thousands across the United States. Needless to say this is where I learned how important it is to build a solid business foundation first in order to grow your business. I also realized how many people who are current business owners have no foundation for their business. I left that position after 3 years, closed my Lifestyle and Fitness Coaching Business and started Vision 2 Reality Training in 2009 with the vision of combining all of the certifications, knowledge and experience I had developed in both personal and business development into a business helping small business owners create the foundation for their business, learn how to accelerate their growth all while creating harmony in all areas of life. As integrative beings this is important.
It was a reinvention not only of my business but of my personal life as well. It was a stark realization that the more I grew and changed, the more chaos ensued in my marriage and it was time to release it along with my former business.
What happened is I became committed to taking radical responsibility for my life. I was committed to change the narrative in my head, committed to change my health and life circumstances. I became committed in stepping out of victimhood and become a victor in my own life.
So let me ask you; are you just interested or are you committed to change life and business?
At Vision 2 Reality Training my purpose is to take all of my education, certifications, lessons, research, techniques and proven strategies and show others how they can live the life of their dreams through business ownership and accelerate their results. My message “Awaken Inner Power, Achieve Outer Results” and my business credo of creating Purpose, Growth and Impact is designed to assist you to grow from where you are to where you want to go and live a life you love. I love what I do and see the impact in my clients lives every day!
I hope I can be of service to you and help you awaken your inner power and get the results you dream of.
With Love,
Annette
