by A. Drayton Boylston, Executive Mentor Coach

As coaches we are blessed with solid values, a sense of caring and a desire to “do good.” It is our duty to use these gifts that have been bestowed upon us to assist as many as we can.

Until I crystallized my mission I must admit that I was tripping over obstacles along my coaching path. I thought I was doing the right things but I was not completely fulfilling my duty because I didn’t really know what it was.

Once I truly defined my mission of “rescuing 1 million executives from the lives they’ve created” I realized I had a duty as a coach to fulfill this mission. It became my obligation, my duty to accomplish.

“Happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.”
~ George Washington

You also have a duty to assist as many people as you can. The more people you reach the more you can help. You must take the steps necessary to attract more people to your work. That means marketing and selling yourself, not for ego or monetary purposes, but to fulfill your duty. Once you find your mission and embrace your duty you will overcome any obstacles that litter your path.

It is your duty as a coach to reach more people and do more good. I am duty bound to fulfill my mission—my rescue effort. What’s your mission?

I wish you the happiness that comes from knowing, and fulfilling, your moral duty.

Carpe diem!
