Some people have the mentality that asking for help is giving up, or makes them less masculine, less independent, etc.

One of the key components of life coaching is helping my clients find other people in their lives to propel them to reach their goals.
Supportive family members and friends can provide you with the accountability needed to make the right decisions and attain your goals.

Most often this is a spouse, a partner, a parent, or a sibling. It could be a close friend, or even a peer or co-worker. Whoever it is, he/she should be someone you can trust with the details and desires you have.
