“Cherish your visions; cherish your ideal; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.”

- Coral Thomas – CEO Coaching By Coral
Let’s take a look at how Coral got started on this path of Coaching. Coral, has had several defining moments in her life where she has experienced the power of believing in someone or someone believing in her and the incredible impact that can have on a person. Her first defining moment was in 6th grade, her parents separated and she moved to a new school. That year she had the most incredible coach ever. For some reason, he saw something that she had never seen in herself. He believed she was a talented athlete, not just at track, but at every sport she attempted. Guess what? She started to believe him. At the end of that year her 6th grade class was required to compete in several track and field events. Coral took first place in almost every event. That confidence carried her through high school and fueled a track scholarship and several academic scholarships with this new found belief in herself. This amazing accomplishment was all because, her “Coach” believed in her and she believed him.
Another defining moment was about 6 years ago when Coral became a Director in Qualification with the phenomenal company Mary Kay Cosmetics. She believed so strongly in her goals that against all odds she prevailed and became a Mary Kay Sales Director. Coral realized a short time later that she had put herself in a very negative environment that would have been very difficult for anyone to flourish in. She let the outside world influence her and she lost all faith in her dreams and herself…and she quit.
That day she learned one of the most valuable lessons that she would ever learn. Never give up! Don’t let anyone take your dream away from you. Coral was miserable for about six months. She was lost and felt like she was wandering aimlessly with no purpose. That is no way to live. Failure gave her the fuel to never let go of her dreams again. “Burn the ships. Keep going and never look back. Go after your dreams and give it everything you’ve got and you will reach them, you will!”
After she had quit Mary Kay and was in a downward spiral, her self-confidence and self-image had taken a real beating. She was pregnant with her daughter and gained 70 pounds. Out of the blue, her former Mary Kay Sales Director, Nikki Underwood called. She said, “I just wanted to call you and tell you that you are incredible and that you are going to be so good at whatever you decide to do.” Nikki believed in her and Coral decided to believe Nikki’s encouraging words. Coral shut off her cable and began reading and meditating. She studied health and began exercising after the birth of her daughter. She released 70 pounds in less than three months and this fed her very successful career as a health coach.
Coral’s former director, Nikki, called her again and urged her to buy the movie “The Secret.”
Coral recalls the first time she watched the movie “The Secret.” It absolutely blew her away. She remembers lying in bed that night and thinking, “This is what I want to do; I want to change the world, I want to be one of those teachers, I can do this!” It was in that moment that she realized that she no longer had to let her circumstances control her; she was in control of her own life and of the future she wanted to create.
Immediately she began researching and exploring the work of the authors of the movie. Through her research she found that Bob Proctor really stood out. She made an inquiry about his coaching program and after hearing about the program she knew she had to do it. Coral knew she could create success and wealth if someone just showed her how. She made the decision right then and there she was going to do it!
The only problem was that it cost $7,000. Coral was staying at home with her two children, working very part-time waitressing and her husband was working for a home theater company only earning $30,000 a year. She knew that if she believed she could do it, a way would be found.
She spoke with her husband at the time about it and he said, “Yeah, that sounds great, but not right now, we’re just not able to afford it.” Coral thought that was the most absurd thing she had ever heard. She replied to him, “We can’t afford it right now, we will never be able to afford it, or anything else for that matter, if we don’t learn how to make more money.” So, she told him– and herself- that her answer is YES and that she would find a way to do it and that she would do it now!
Coral had no idea how she was going to do this, but none of the obvious barriers she faced were going to stand in the way of at least visualizing her goal. She started by visualizing herself getting coached by Bob and how great it was going to be. She then began telling her friends that she was so excited because she was going to be going through the executive life coaching certification program and being personally trained and mentored by the legendary Bob Proctor from “The Secret.”
One day, while cleaning her office she came across her dad’s address. The two weren’t very close at that time and she didn’t even know his phone number, so she decided to write him a letter. Coral told her dad about this great opportunity and that she was determined to follow her dream and she asked if there was any way he could loan her the money. He called her a week later and said he would give her $3,000.
Three weeks after she had made the decision to attend Bob Proctors Executive Life coaching program, she had attracted what she needed in order to do it!
Immediately, Coral called Bob Proctor’s, Life Success Productions, Life Success Coaching Certification department and gave them the down payment and attracted the rest of the money, throughout the next couple of months to be able to complete the transaction. As soon as she began Bob’s Life Coaching program, everything in her life accelerated. She began to live on purpose and discover her gift’s. 
Since then, Coral began coaching and teaching others how they too can create the successes she has found in her life. She continues to live a life of fulfillment as she moves towards her ultimate vision of positively impacting the planet on a global scale.
“He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realized it.”
