In January 2008, I bought a pedometer and made a commitment to health. After a few months, I fell off the wagon. It's not that I haven't done this before. Maybe you've experienced a similar cycle with some aspect of your life - start, stop, start, stop, this time will be different. All I know is that within a few days, weeks, or months, my enthusiasm wanes and other "priorities" take over.

For the hundredth time, I take out all of my magazine articles and books on exercise, hoping to find a miracle cure to my energy woes.

The books don't tell me anything I didn't already know, but they reminded me to go back to basics: "Start slow", "Eat well", "Drink plenty of water".

In the midst of my time of renewal, I picked up the phone and called one of my closest friends and fellow walker Becky.

Becky shared her insights, talked about what she was doing, and then related it back to me and my situation. Five minutes of talking to her gave me more hope and information than two hours of paging through pages of "get thin quick" articles.

Our conversation helped me to move forward, and our connection made that possible. I was now willing to get back to the gym and renew my health commitment! And I haven't missed more than a few days since living in Florida. Imagine that.

After 60 days, I feel GREAT. I have my energy back, my stamina returned, and my body looks pretty darn good. My cravings for junk food have decreased, although I'll never give up my trips to Weinerschnitzel when I'm back in CA.

So, what makes this story so magnificent? (Yes, there is there a wonderful lesson behind my courage to fail.)

You know your business inside and out.
You work hard. And you know how to make money.

You probably have article clippings from magazines, books, CDs, and DVDs in your office - incredible resources in your filing cabinet or sitting there on your shelf - just like I have all these great books on exercise in my office.

And yet I still fall off the wagon and forget what to do and find myself needing encouragement and guidance from real humans.

Information becomes much more powerful when it is customized to your circumstances. When you bring in the Power of Connection, everything accelerates.

That is why coaching and mentoring out-power do-it-yourself materials every time. Information is great, but motivation, support, and the human connection turn that information into incredible results.
