The Accountability Coach Anne Bachrach Underscores the Importance of Choice As a Change Agent in Her New Book Live Life With No Regrets
Online, February 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The old joke says it all: How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? One, but only if the light bulb really wants to change. Virtually any coach will tell you that if one wants to change their life, they can empower themselves to do it. In her latest book Live Life Without Regrets, coach Anne Bachrach reinforces that change is a choice lived out everyday.
To lose 50 pounds, it is important to think about the outcome of being thinner, but a dieter must repeatedly make the choice of eating less each day. A thinner self is the vision, but carrying out the strategies will make the vision come true. In every avenue of one's personal and professional life, there are numerous choices to make. Choice may mean change. If a person is not open to change or refuses to change, he won't make different choices.
Making "right" choices, says Bachrach, is about balancing logic, emotion, and gut instincts to make decisions that results in fewer regrets and after-the-fact second-guessing. Basic instincts are useful in decision making, especially in the absence of experience or information, but once more information is available to guide choice, logic has a bigger role to play. There is no excuse for not making choices, as even failing to choose has consequences and is, in fact, a choice. In line with Bachrach's philosophy, people are accountable for every choice, so the choice might as well be the made consciously.
Many businesses fail to thrive or just plain fail because they are built on poor choices that aren't remedied in time. This includes choosing the right type of clients. Every business has clients best suited to take advantage of what it offers. Properly identifying, structuring, and marketing the business to the ideal client requires making conscious decisions. (Anne offers tools to create an ideal client profile on her website.)
Anne's book has struck a responsive chord with critics who note that the book offers a practical guide to success. Best-Selling Author and Hall of Fame Speaker, Jim Cathcart says of Bachrach's work:
"This is it, the ONE shot you have at being alive. Let Anne Bachrach show you how to assure that at the end of it, you can reflect on how you lived it and smile... from ear to ear! You are driving even if it's someone else's car much of the time. It's YOUR choices that matter. Take charge of your life. Love this life you've been given."
Shep Hyken, author of "The Cult of the Customer", a Wall Street Journal and USA Today Best-Seller says:
"Anne is amazing. When she has something to say - or write - pay close attention. Beyond all of the research and examples in her book, Anne is the best example of the lessons she teaches. Study this book and you can't help but be even more successful in all areas of your life!"
Brian Tracy, author of "Reinvention" and "Eat the Frog!" says:

As Don Hutson, Co-author of NY Times #1 Best-Seller, The One Minute Entrepreneur and CEO of U. S. Learning, notes:
