Do you want something better for yourself?

Are you completely satisfied with your life? Pre-Apifiny Coaching Founder Samone Wear wasn’t. Twenty five years on, she shares a very personal story, his journey from a blue collar home to a life she loves.

Do you want something better for yourself?

I did. Here’s how I found it.

Before I established Apifiny Coaching my life was really different from what it is and what I’ve been able to create today as a result of what I’ve learned from a love for ‘life long learning’. You may not know—I’m not just a coach or trainer, I’m an international recognised academic scholar, thought leader and business owner.

I grew up in a town called Adelaide, South Australia. My mum and dad seperated when I was in my teenage years and I didn’t know how to deal with it.

(If this is resonating with you, I’ve got your back. And I’ll be talking about these sorts of things at Apifiny Coaching virtual summit, in early 2025.)

I was moving in the unknown direction and unfortunately a lot of people experience that in life. I got to a point in life where I made a pivotal decision, looked around me and noticed everything I had: the quality of friends I had, the quality of relationships, the quality of health, the lack of career I had—and I asked myself a really important question.

I asked, ‘Do I want something better for myself?’

I asked if this was all there is. If this life was really what I wanted. And it was that idea that shifted me and I made the decision to start looking for something better. I started looking for change because I believe whatever you look for, you find.

A lot of people are focussed on looking at their problems all their life. This is what sucks, this is what is hard. Anyway, I had heaps of problems.

I had challenges but I knew I wanted to be different so instead of focussing on the problems I had, I focussed on the solutions.

As I started looking for something to be different, I started noticing people who had the success I wanted to have. I always wanted to be healthy and have functional relationships—I didn’t know the code to relationships because I’d never been taught how to do them.

And I wanted to have a great career. I saw a lot of people around me who didn’t enjoy their jobs.  They worked so they could have time off—that means there’s 48 weeks of the year you don’t enjoy.

I thought, ‘That’s a broken model, I don’t want to sign up to that, I have to find something different.’

In the beginning I didn’t know what that something different was. I tried reading books, and one changed my life: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. It’s about being present and in the moment.

When I read that I started realising the thoughts I have are not me. I’m a person who is noticing them, and that was amazingly empowering to me. That was my first realisation I had choice in the way that I live my life.

Before that I didn’t know I had choice. I thought whatever happens happens.

As a result of that I started seeking more, and eventually found Apifiny Coaching. I found this organisation that could teach me about me, that could teach me about my relationships, that could teach more about how to empower other people which I’ve always liked doing.

I found this place that could teach me to do what I’m doing right now—develop the skill of public speaking which by the way is not something I grew up with. It’s a skill that anyone can learn and it completely transformed my life.

As a result of coming into Apifiny Coaching (after 15 years of being a company director from 21 years of age) I have learned how to grow up, how to be a good human being, how to have great relationships, how to have functionality within my life, how to create a good relationship with my health, with spirituality, with other people, and have true tangible skills to help other people find their own version of that.

And it’s something I’ll be grateful for forever. For my entire life I’ll be grateful to Apifiny Coaching.

I hope that inspires you to go on your own journey to explore if coaching is something for you, if you can add value to your own life. If you think it could be, I’d love to save you a spot here for the summit in early 2025.

It will help you succeed as a coach. And we can talk your amazing new life!
