If I could go back in time to the beginning of my coaching business, one of the first things I would tell myself is to stop trying so hard to be that rare exception.

 

I would spend so much time talking with other successful coaches, trying to figure out what they were doing to crush it... and then I would turn around and assume I had to do it differently.

 

What a foolish idea!

 

Tony Robbins says "Success leaves clues."  That might be true, but unless you're willing to pick up and act on those clues, you're no better off than if you tried to make it on your own.

 

Recently I've noticed a handful of people trying to rearrange the patterns of success (you might say "reinvent the wheel")... and they're struggling because of it.

 

This episode is dedicated to setting the record straight. I'm tackling 3 HUGE MYTHS that have popped up in the coaching world recently... and I'm taking them down!

 

Let's go!

 

 

 

 

When was the last time your coaching calendar was booked solid?

 

If you’re staring at another empty schedule with no clients, no calls and no plan it’s time to get some help.

 

I work exclusively with qualified coaches who want to turn this part time business into a full-time career.

 

A filled coaching calendar is closer than you think...

There are billions of people within earshot of your message right now (yes... billions with a "B").

 

The internet has opened up opportunities for small businesses more than anything else in the history of commerce.

 

There is a problem though... you're not the only person trying to get to everyone's.

 

You're competing on a global scale against tens of thousands of other life coaches that are all trying to get the attention of your ideal client.

 

Which is why right now is the wrong time for playing small, laying low or keeping quiet.

 

It's time to get noisy (with the RIGHT kind of noise, of course!)

Have you ever noticed some people manage to be successful no matter what they do while others seem to struggle for years just to get by?

 

Despite the name, "overnight success" almost never happens in a single night.

 

But successful people tend to speed up the process faster than the average Joe... and they tend to do this more than once.

 

How can one person spend years struggling to make money as a coach and someone else can manage to start bringing in paid clients almost immediately?

 

It's because time and success are not connected.

 

Today we're going to debunk the myth that you must spend years building your coaching business before you can start making a full-time income.

Do you believe that the work you do as a coach can be life-changing for a wide range of potential clients?

 

If you feel this way, it can be frustrating trying to niche down. The thought of only working with one type of client seems restrictive.

 

I had a few coaches ask me recently if choosing multiple niches was a possibility.

 

The short answer is no.

 

The longer answer is no... but don't worry about it because you'll end up working with all kinds of people anyhow.

 

This week's podcast is for anyone who struggles with the idea of niching down.

If you asked 100 life coaches what they're favorite part of their job was, you'd hear a handful of different answers.

 

But I doubt "selling" would be one of them.  It probably wouldn't even make the top 50.

 

This episode is meant to challenge your perception of sales... possibly to the point that you even ENJOY selling (I realize that's a bold claim).

 

If the thought of "selling" makes you slightly sick to your stomach, I'm going to give you the remedy in today's podcast.

Things that we coaches find fascinating might not be interesting at all to your ideal clients.

 

For instance, I see many coaches sharing TED Talks on lofty, intellectual topics like "The Psychology of Limited Thinking" and "How Our Brainwaves Manipulate Our Memories To Believe Negative Ideas That Never Happened".

 

Don't Google those titles - I just made them up.

 

But they're basically the kind of stuff I see in my Facebook feed from coaches who believe they're somehow connecting with their ideal clients this way.

 

I have no problem with anyone posting whatever they want on their social media (YAY Freedom of Speech!)

 

But if you're trying to bring in clients, there are definitely good and not-so-good ways to go about it.

Have you ever had a client that you absolutely LOVED working with?

 

If you're really clear on your client avatar, you've probably had quite a few -- perhaps even most.

 

Have you considered there might be ways to continue working with someone longer than your normal 3-6 month coaching program?

 

I've been working with some of the same clients for years. They keep getting amazing results and I keep getting paid.

 

In today's episode I'm going to show you how you can do the same thing in your business. After all, there's no sense saying "goodbye" to someone who can continue to benefit from your coaching.

A seductive new way to find coaching clients has been gaining steam in recent years.

 

Platforms like Bark act like matchmaking sites for people looking for everything from DJs, painters, birthday magicians... and yes, life coaches.

 

I've spoken to dozens of coaches who have tried this method for bringing in clients with limited success. The benefits include having clients sent directly to you. The downside is that these people are often making decisions solely based on price- meaning the lowest price gets the business (driving prices way down for some coaches).

 

Paul Heron has been able to turn this "pay-to-play" game around to his advantage. He's a recent graduate of our "5 Clients in 90 Days" program, and in today's podcast he's sharing how he was able to use the process he learned in 5C90 to massively improve his closing rate with these clients without lowering his prices.

Coaches are amazing human beings... but you already know that.

 

You've spent time with them while you were getting your accreditation. You've probably joined several coaching communities and FB Groups. You may have even swapped coaching sessions together.

 

But what about becoming a coach that coaches coaches - ever thought about that?

 

I bet the thought has crossed your mind.

 

It sounds like an amazing concept. Surrounding yourself with people just like you and helping them become better coaches.

 

I felt the same way 5 years ago when I began working almost exclusively with coaches and consultants.

 

In today's episode I'm going to share what I've learned, and whether or not becoming a coach for coaches is worth considering in 2022.

Charge what you're worth... you've heard it a hundred times.

 

But what if you're not doing this for the money?

 

What if someone needs your coaching and they just can't afford to pay your prices?

 

What's the harm in coaching people for free? Or maybe you can give them 10 sessions for the price of 1?

 

If you're tempted to discount your coaching for any reason, I urge you to listen to today's show.

 

There are some serious flaws in the "coaching for free" logic that's out there. And no, it doesn't have to do with you making money.

 

It has to do with what's best for your clients.

 

And free coaching is not the answer. Give me 10 minutes and I'll prove it once and for all.
