About 10 years ago a close friend died. He was a young man. He was a great guy and very successful in every area of his life, except his health. Rather than get a coach, change his eating habits, and stop drinking, he simply worked harder. He, like so many, let his health deteriorate while he focused on earning more and more money. Today he is dead, leaving behind a young wife and two kids.
I was on the same path. After age 35, I exercised less, ate more, drank more, and worked harder. It was not long before I had gained 60 pounds.
Rather than get a coach, I kept saying, “I’ll start a plan tomorrow. I’ll exercise tomorrow. I’ll fit in my old clothes in a month.” The problem was, tomorrow came and went. And my weight kept increasing.
One day, sitting at my desk, I saw a picture of Kim and me on vacation. I was embarrassed. Kim looked beautiful, smiling and loving, and I was twice her size, my gut filling most of the picture. That is when I knew I needed to stop kidding myself and get a coach.

I worked out with a number of fitness coaches. Finally, I found one of the toughest coaches in town and that made all the difference. Not only does he hold me accountable, but he pushes me as hard as he pushes his 20- and 30-year-olds. There is no mercy for age. This is important to me because I found myself making excuses for my age. For my coach, age is not an excuse. That’s the kind of coach I needed.
I did not get a coach just for health. My health is important, but not as important as my life with Kim. She makes my life worth living and I want to enjoy this gift of life with her in great health.
So the question is: What is important to you? It’s not just money or health. It’s the things that money and good health can mean to you and your family. Money affects all the things that are important in our lives. I remember feeling embarrassed and angry with myself when Kim and I were flat broke. I felt I had let her down, so I sought help from a coach to speed up my financial recovery.
When you decide what is most important to you, then it’s time to get a coach.
To making life better,
Robert Kiyosaki
