This week's episode is for those coaches who are new and stepping out into the world of coaching for the first time. We get asked how you can secure your first paying coaching client a lot and so we thought we would take you through some of our key ideas to make this a reality. We discuss:

• how to step into the identity of being a coach
• the importance of reaching out to your existing network to ask for help and support
• have you set yourself up with the infrastructure you need to take payment
• the value of being visible on a regular basis
• building a coaching practice being a process
• why you choose a niche
• how to talk about the problems you solve for potential clients
• offering different packages of support

The most important things to remember when building your coaching business are that it will require patience, consistency and time to refine your message. When you develop these things you will find your first paying client.
