Why this moment matters — and how to decide without rushing
There’s something different about the final week of the year.
It’s not just the calendar changing — it’s the sense that a window is closing.
The 2025 Year End Scholarship ends on December 31 at midnight, and if coaching has been on your mind, this final week is asking a simple question:
Are you ready to stop waiting?
Most people aren’t undecided — they’re pausing
At this stage, very few people are still asking whether they’re interested in coaching.
They’re asking something quieter and more honest:
Is this the right time to begin?
That question isn’t a sign of doubt.
It’s a sign that the decision actually matters.
You don’t need certainty to move forward
One of the biggest myths about change is that you need to feel completely sure before you begin.
But neuroscience and behavioral psychology tell a different story:
Clarity doesn’t come first.
It comes from action — supported by structure and feedback.
Most confident coaches didn’t start out feeling ready.
They became ready by learning, practicing, and being supported along the way.
“You don’t need certainty to move forward — you need a clear, supported next step.”
Why deadlines help (even when they feel uncomfortable)
Deadlines don’t force decisions.
They reveal them.
They remove the option to hover in the middle — gathering information without moving.
The final week of a scholarship does something important:
It asks you to decide with clarity instead of hesitation.

If you’re close, pay attention to that
If coaching has been on your mind for a while, that matters.
Often, what we call hesitation is simply readiness waiting for structure.
This final week isn’t about pressure.
It’s about clarity.
The scholarship ends December 31 at midnight.
The real question isn’t whether the opportunity will pass — it will.
The question is whether you’ll still be waiting when it does.
A final thought
The risk usually isn’t that you’ll choose wrong.
The risk is that you’ll keep waiting… until the decision gets made for you.
The scholarship ends 12/31 at midnight.
If you’re close, don’t let “maybe” take this one.
