Sure, every decent coach in the history of sports has used some version of this quote to motivate their team…but it’s true. You only get one shot at life; you might as well wake up every morning and try to be better than yesterday’s version of you.
You’re probably thinking….WTF, I thought I clicked on the style blog? Yes, style commonly refers to one’s fashion or outer appearance. But at it’s core, style is simply the manner in which you do something. Here are some self-improvement ideas to improve your inner and outer style.
Volunteer Your Time
Let’s start with improving the inner you. One of the best ways to feel great about you is by helping others. We all learned “The Golden Rule” when we were 5, but life gets in the way & sometimes we forget. VolunteerMatch.org is a website that connects people who are looking to volunteer, with local non-profits who need help. It doesn’t cost you anything; simply answer a few questions about the causes you care about & where you live…then the site gives you a list of local causes that need your help.
Hire a Self Improvement Coach
If elite athletes and organizations think they need coaches, shouldn’t you have one too? An Executive Coach acts as your own personal and professional mentor and is similar to a life coach. Executive coaching propels you to develop daring business plans, connect effectively with employees, family and friends, as well as hone in on your goals in business, relationships, and life. Sam Nabil Counseling is a great place to start. Sam will challenge and motivate you, as well as work with you to answer some of life’s major questions. In the process of exploring your attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs around these questions, he will help you find the drive, focus, and determination needed to create and live your optimal life, both in the business and the personal space.
Join a Self Improvement Website
Maybe you aren’t quite ready for a self-improvement coach, well there’s way to test the water at bestme.com. This is a new website that aggregates the “…top tools and resources for a healthy body, sharp mind and awesome lifestyle.” It’s free and super easy to get started, just spend 2 minutes answering question about who you are & your goals.

Get a New Haircut
