Why did you choose Coaching?
It felt like it was time for me to make changes in my life - and Coaching sounded exciting. After we met at the Interview; I got hooked - So there you have it!
How has the Coaching period been?
It has been very positive, sometimes tuff, but painless. Tuff to define the dream with my music. Gone is the act of always taking the easy way out. Whatever I choose to do - I do it 100%. Everything can be done - What I wanna do - when I commit myself 100%. I trust my intuition much more. I trust in my gut feeling. It is spot on. Always.
What are the three most important things you have learned?
I have learned that I need to take responsibility for what I do - that is the only way to action.
I have learned to stay present.
I have learned to structure my life, my calendar. It gives freedom (now I enjoy having time off 100%).
What are the three biggest victories?
The way I now work with my music (structure, preparation and anticipation). Gone is all the noise; in with all the good stuff.
The overview I got and inner peace - I am in control.
The big events at Vega is rolling - and that was one of my goals!
Did you need any support or follow-ups between sessions?
No, it has been an important element to rely on myself; that I achieve the goals alone, that I am my own push. Next time around I will use you even more to keep the focus.
Goals and plans; what was achieved and what was not?
The event at Vega; more time and energy on the music; structure and discipline; vacation with my daughter; tour with Sweatshop and my solo album; Ice-cold control; my family - All of that I achieved. Must work some more on the discipline. NVC (NonViolentCommunication) with the family achieved.
I will stick to my deadlines. I spend a lot of time on the music - would love to do even more. Everything seems to go in the right direction. Have lots of control with everything - and I want more.
What have you learned about yourself?
I can do what I want; keep the focus, work hard and take one step at the time (and not skip out the easy way).
Can you describe the feeling of yourself from before till now?
Before there was a lot of pressure, hard to look into the future, not that many dreams, was on auto-pilot. Now I am full of passion, dreams, happy, lots of energy and no doubts. Am in control.
Personal development, shift in perspective and insights?
That the biggest reason that my solo album has not come out before - was because I did not take ownership - did not take the full responsibility. That has been the biggest block in my life concerning career and economy. It scared me to think that perhaps I still would not succeed if I gave it my 100%.
I do not feel that anymore. Now I kick ass! I have become so much better at being present and not to worry about the past or the future.
The more I used your tools; the more I got in control; I know what I want. I am VERY happy for my alter/ wishing board; It has given me so much focus on what is important. I am much more positive and have no doubts about the future. I attract a lot of positive energy from other people.
How effective are you now?
I started writing some TV stuff with my brother Al. I also help my brother Joseph with a project he is doing. I talked to my producers and have agreed that we are going to be much more in the studio - and they are to produce the whole album.
I was out performing and could easily feel the joy and energy. VERY much! I have decided to make a video for one of my songs and upload it to Youtube. I just got an invitation to Berlin - there are two different record labels who want to publish our Sweatshop record. IT IS SO COOL!
Did you achieve personal ROI (Return On Investment) in terms of time/ investment?
I feel that more and more for each day that passes. I use my time better and get more done. The money comes too. It feels like I get into situations with more and more possibilities all the time. I look forward to ping-pong with you. Good times are happening and will happen.
How could the Coaching become better?
I would like to focus on just one or two things at the time - and push myself some more. Lets play a bigger game!
Would you like to be coached again?
Yes. On discipline. To do even more instead of just the talk around it. To become better at closing the deal. See you in October!
Any criticism of your Coach?
You could have pushed me even more. Very cool that you are so curious; you meet as a human being and on my terms.
Anything else you need to say?
I am happy I did Coaching - and that I did it with you. Have through the whole period of Coaching looked forward to our Mondays. I have found joy and structure that has created a wholeness.
What is the most important change?
I GOT MY MOJO BACK!
