For many of us, it is easy to have a goal and then get so busy in our lives we forget about it.\u00a0 In many organizations, a great plan is developed and then it sits on the shelf because the day-to-day functioning consumes all the time and focus of the employees.\u00a0 Certified Professional Coaches<\/a> are aware that this is a barrier for clients.\u00a0 When clients are asked what could hold them back, they will often say \u201cme\u201d or \u201cprocrastination\u201d or \u201claziness\u201d as the barriers to success.<\/p>\n
