Meeting with My Coach

Janet McMahon | Naperville Neighborhood Groups

Top 10 reasons not to meet with your coach (insert sarcastic tone here)

1. You don’t have Tivo yet and can’t miss your “stories”
2. You know it all
3. You don’t need any help – life is too easy!
4. Having someone praying for you on a regular basis is annoying
5. Starbucks coffee just isn’t good enough
6. Your coach asks how you’re doing and you’re offended by their nosiness
7. You don’t want to be seen in public with someone from your church
8. Someone has to stay home and watch the paint peel!
9. Your other friends will get jealous
10. Your small group has been successful beyond your wildest dreams and you are going to stay home and write a book about it.
