A Helping Hand Overcoming A Personal Crisis
3 Months ago I found my personal life to be in the toilet and hit a very low point. A couple of weeks later I mentioned it on the blog and decided to just stop working while I hibernated on the sofa.
A couple of days later I was approached by a life coach called Massimo Gaetani who offered to coach me. At first I declined the offer. I was in such a state that I could barely move from the sofa and I felt as though my life was totally meaningless so the last thing I wanted to do was work on ‘goals’.
However, he offered to coach me in exchange for some help with his blogs, and also as a personal challenge to himself. Massimo’s approach is to guide clients through the process of making their own decisions and that includes setting the goals. Well I certainly gave him a challenge… from my point of horrendous anxiety attacks, nightmares, inability to sleep, depression I set my first goal to be to feel enthusiastic and positive for all waking hours! The second was to launch Traffic Rush and the third was to get this blog to 3,000 subscribers.
Of course, the second two goals were irrelevant without the first one. At the beginning I didn’t actually care about work at all and I didn’t want to do anything but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try. The first few weeks were very slow but after that things really started to change and I actually achieved all three goals. You can of course see the evidence of the last two for yourselves.
I’d really like to thank Massimo for doing this for me. He has given me so much of his time and attention for little personal gain. There is no way I could achieved any of those things without his help and when I think if where I was emotionally just 10 weeks ago and where I am today, it truly is transformational.
Massimo would really like to work with other bloggers and if you’re in a position where you have some goals that you’d like to achieve then I can highly recommend him. His preferred method of coaching is to conduct 1-hour sessions over Skype on a weekly basis over 12 weeks but he is flexible.
I cut his sessions short. I had the 11th session a few days ago and I knew I had achieved everything I had set out and now with the Thirty Day Challenge starting I’m ready to move in new directions.
So, thanks again Massimo, and please contact him if you think you can benefit from his coaching!

I’ve been reading this blog for a long time and I missed that post before. I’m so glad to hear that a life coach was able to help you at this point in time. People have so many ideas of what life coaching is but I think its speak better when someone can share the results they have gotten from it. As a life coach myself its just great to get to hear this. Caroline I hope your journey continues toward the positive and look forward to seeing what happens with stumblerush once all the free ten week trainings come to a close
