Or even weeks.<\/p>\n<p>This is a massive mistake. When you rush toward your goal of going full-time, you\u2019ll start to cut corners. You\u2019ll use bad hacks and risky shortcuts where you shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll take on clients who aren\u2019t right for you, charge prices that don\u2019t reflect your worth, and cut back on your ongoing learning and development as a coach.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also feel tremendous pressure and stress to keep going even when you\u2019re drained and depleted. This will block you from coaching at your highest level, and it will damage your reputation.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s the irony\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The faster you try to get to full-time status, the slower you progress.<\/p>\n<p>What does Ajit suggest? \u201c<em>Early in your career, if you set a low expectation of yourself, you stand a chance of actually meeting it<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So take a deep breath and take it a little slower.
