Why Moderation Doesn't Work!

Here is a great question for you, “What career would allow you to give back, leverage your years of work and life experience, help you make a difference and help you generate income to still do all those “nice” things?”I have the answer, “Learning to coach others!!”And all you have to do is join me in July and I will guide you from beginner to elite level coach in just 6 months! PPS - Already a coach? You have two options:Take my coaching specialism in Alcohol-Free Performance CoachingJoin my Coach Business School and take my world-class Coach MBA!As I crossed the 500-mile Camino finish line, it was straight to my next adventure.My best man’s 50th in Ibiza.You might argue from one spiritual experience to another!HOWEVER!The first stop was to view our re-invention retreat venue!The retreat is designed to help people rediscover who they are and redesign what’s next.(As this is my first EVER retreat, it’s exclusive to my coaches, but I will roll this out to everyone soon.)The retreat venue is off the charts!!! (See photo above)We are all buzzing.Next, the party began.And I had the best time.My best friends, Tara, loads of laughs, great food, and brilliant company.But then something happened that I now regret.After the most wonderful day on a boat, and lunch with our feet in the sand at Juan Y Andrea in Formentera.Things could not have been better.Until the lads mentioned going to see DJ Calvin Harris at Ushuaïa.At this point, I made a classic mistake.I asked a rubbish question, which cascaded into more rubbish questionsWhich resulted in lots of rubbish answers.“Would I enjoy Calvin Harris if I were not drinking?”“Would there be too many people?”“I used to drink to numb out all the noise”...The answer in my head, which was wrecked by the “will I, won’t I scenario”, responded with “No I won’t enjoy it”So I didn’t go.What I needed in that moment was a great coach to snap me out of the limiting thinking state I had gotten myself into!!!When I woke the next morning. Fresh and in a different state the question was so obvious!!“How can I go to Calvin Harris and LOVE IT because I’m alcohol-free!”The answer to this question would have been, “LET’S DO THIS!”Then I felt the pang of regret.I missed out a great opportunity to test my alcohol-free powers!Lesson learned.And hopefully this is refreshing that 11 years in, I am still making mistakes and learning about my personal alcohol-free adventure!This experience also reminded me of why moderation is a disaster for most people!I will dig much deeper into this important topic on this weeks Alcohol-Free Advantage Podcast.The learn from today is in quote form from Anthony Robbins“The quality of your questions will dictate the quality of your life!”Ask great questions, lead a great life!Your coach Andy
