How To Become a Career Coach

Part of taking your coaching business to the next level is honing your skills, setting up systems, and knowing your target client.

Another, and equally important, aspect is surrounding yourself with the right people. If you're the smartest person in the room, you won't be on a growth track - you need to surround yourself with those that you aspire to be like.

Brad Finkeldei joins Phillip to talk about how he leveraged relationships to grow himself and his coaching business.

There are 3 main stages or types of coaching businesses.

It's not like you have to progress to the 3rd stage or that you are less successful at the first stage, but you do need to understand what they are and which stage you're in.

You also need to decide what stage you want to be in (if you're not already there).

Jenny Blake went through all three of these stages as she grew her business. She not only learned how to help her clients pivot in their career, but she also learned how to pivot her own business through each of the 3 stages.

Listen to this episode to learn what these 3 stages are, decide both where you are now and where you want to go, and then create a plan to pivot and grow.
