Steps to Achieving a Strong Personal Foundation

April 22, 2010 by obm · Leave a Comment 

When the world can appear to be built on shifting ground, we all need a strong, solid personal foundation on which to build our life.

Living a meaningful life is usually grounded by a strong foundation which gives people the confidance to look up at the stars, instead of down at their feet.

Having a strong personal foundation allows you to fully use your skills and resources.  Instead of constantly worrying about the fundamentals of their life, they are free to focus on working toward their goals.

The process of building a personal foundation also teaches you how to eliminate and prevent many common problems that are usually expected in life.

At Coach U and Corporate Coach U we believe that there are 25 steps to achieving a strong personal foundation.

25 Steps to a Strong Personal Foundation

  • Decide that you want a strong personal foundation.
  • A strong foundation is a choice. Want it.
  • Zap the tolerations.
  • Whatever you are putting up with eats away at your personal foundation.
  • Simplify your life dramatically.
  • Resolve unfinished business.
  • Identify and focus on your 10 daily habits.
  • Restore your integrity wherever it’s broken.
  • Get your needs met. You can.
  • Handle the money. Period.
  • Treat your body like the temple it is.
  • Extend your boundaries until you are fully respected.
  • Raise your standards until you feel terrific.
  • Create reserves in all areas of your life.
  • Perfect the present, especially if it’s not.
  • Strengthen your family. Heal if necessary.
  • Extend your community. Start attracting instead of striving.
  • Select and reach your preferred living states.
  • Be well protected.
  • Choose your work so that you can be all of yourself.
  • Reorient your life around your values.
  • Become a problem-free zone. Improve your attitude.
  • Invest in your life.
  • Thank the people who’ve made your life as rich as it is.
  • Choose your postfoundation steps.

CoachInc.com believes so strongly of the importance of a strong personal foundation that it is built into our coaching programs as part of the personal development of the coach.

Even if you are not a coach or a Coach U trained coach you can still work on your personal foundation but taking our 8-week Building Your Personal Foundation program or working with a Coach U trained coach.
