Why Traditional Self-Help Doesn't Work

If you are like many other people in the world, you’ve probably tried self-help and self-improvement in one form or another to little avail. And that’s okay! It’s not your fault. You didn’t have a life coach from The Baller Coach in your corner — but now you can. Keep reading to learn more about the common pitfalls of traditional self-help and sign up for our next 180 Method starting this September 20th!

Treating Symptoms

Traditional self-help tends to focus on treating symptoms or individual aspects of your personality and behavior. While this may work okay for some people, it’s not always great for creating genuine, lasting change. At The Baller Coach, you’ll work with a life coach using a holistic method to help give you the results you crave using the whole picture. Humans are complex beings — it’s important to approach them as such!

Lack of Spirituality

While a lack of spirituality may not be the case for everyone, it can certainly be a common reason why self-help isn’t working exactly as you’d like it to. At The Baller Coach, connecting to God or another higher power is the first of our five foundational values! It’s important to learn to let go of the things that you can not control and instead leave them in a higher power’s capable hands. When you work with one of our life coaches, that’s exactly what you’ll learn to do so you can enact real change in your life.

Going it Alone

Even the most self-sufficient and amazing people can’t do everything alone. Humans are social animals, after all. And for that reason, traditional self-help often falls flat. It’s just you and a book. They may recommend cultivating a support group and investing in friends and family, but it’s not always easy to understand how or where to start. Having a life coach like those found at The Baller Coach is critical to helping you find success. It’s hard to not be motivated and see lasting changes with a self-help pro in your corner backing you up every step of the way!

Knowledge

Some traditional self-help books, methods, and programs are full of wisdom. But it’s almost as if you are expected to learn everything there is and become a professional in order to see results. When your home has an electrical issue, you don’t become an electrician to fix it — you call for help! When you reach out and use a life coach as a resource, you gain access to their vast knowledge and experience helping people just like you.
