Book: Million Dollar Coach: The 9 Strategies That Drive a 7-Figure Coaching Business by Taki Moore

Join Ajit Nawalkha as he has a conversation with Rich Litvin about entrepreneurship, coaching skills, and Rich’s recent book “The Prosperous Coach”. Rich explains that in order to thrive in the coaching industry you must put in effort for a long period of time before feeling like it is working. Wishing for instant recognition without putting in work first is not how things are done, but the ones who persist are the ones who become masters.

“You’re not selling yourself; you’re not even selling this thing called coaching. What you’re selling is an opportunity for that person to work on their dreams and their dreams are priceless.” – Rich Litvin

Rich also talks about some important and practical insights that new coaches tend to miss when trying to expand their businesses: connect – talk about what inspires you to cultivate relationships; invite – offer genuine help and be willing to help; create – offer services through chats and conversations; propose – tell the person what you do, how it looks like to work with you and fill them in on the details of your proposal.

About Rich Litvin

Rich Litvin is a consultant, transformational coach, entrepreneur, and author. Running a leadership consultancy company, Rich works with high-performance world leaders through the method of powerful and impactful deep coaching. His book “The Prosperous Coach” was created with the intention of helping other coaches raise their income and empower more clients along the way.

Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott

Join Ajit Nawalkha and Carey Peters as they have an interesting conversation about how to envision yourself as a coach, even if you feel you don’t have what it takes to be one. Carey shares some of the struggles she had in the past when she started her coaching business and how she was able to push past the “giving up point” by simply believing. She realized that she didn’t need to have it all figured out in life to help others transform their lives.

“I think that’s the hardest thing as a new coach: is the emotional and mental resilience required to get back up when things don’t work, and they won’t all the time.” – Carey Peters

You will hear some great advice from Carey on how to stick with your goal and persist on your path, even if sometimes you feel like quitting. According to Carey the one skill a person must have in order to succeed in the coaching industry is to be resilient. Many times along the way things won’t make sense, you will feel like a fraud, you will feel like you are not good enough or maybe you are not doing things the right way, and that’s when you have to be curious about the possibilities and just keep going.

About Carey Peters

Carey is a health coach, online entrepreneur, speaker, and co-founder of Health Coach Institute.

In this episode, Ajit Nawalkha has a conversation with Ashley Stahl about the importance of finding and listening to your core values to decide what career is meant for you. Transitioning from a regular 9-5 job to a more entrepreneurial career might not feel comfortable, but when we identify what we consider to be the most important principles in our life, that decision becomes easy.

“Sometimes we get stuck on the belief that we are where we’re supposed to be, and technically we are, but we’re also always in transition on our way to the next version of ourselves at any given time.” – Ashley Stahl

A very common obstacle faced by people making this transition nowadays is the self-doubt that comes with it. “Am I really following the path that I was supposed to follow? Is this new career the one that best suits me? Am I going to feel fulfilled if I choose this direction?” These are all questions that you might be thinking of right now; today Ashley addresses how you can answer them based on what is worth it for you in life.

“One of the biggest things that I continue to acknowledge is: you just can’t have change without loss – even if it’s a good change.” – Ashley Stahl

You will also learn the top 10 foundations and personal skill sets that can help you visualize your ideal career path and how to use them to finally take action.

Join Ajit Nawalkha and Steven Kotler in this episode as they talk about how to complete “small acts of impossible” throughout your life in order to become familiar with the “big acts of impossible” when they actually happen. You will also learn the differences between “small i impossible” and “capital I Impossible” and how you can apply both concepts in topics like personal life, business, and when working with clients. 

“The equation is really simple: motivation gets you in the game, learning keeps you there, creativity is how you steer, and flow is how you turbo boost the whole equation.” – Steven Kotler

Steven also explains the concept behind “flow.” Oftentimes when we feel blocked, uncreative, stuck, have no inspiration to accomplish tasks or meet deadlines, it’s because we need to work on our “flow.” In order to keep getting things done, we must unlock that state. By doing that, you release not only your full potential but also a higher level of performance.

 “The core of all intrinsic motivations is curiosity. It’s the basic fuel for human motivation.” – Steven Kotler

About Steven Kotler

Steven is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist, and Executive Director of the Flow Research Collective. His most famous books include The Rise of Superman, Stealing Fire, and A Small Furry Prayer, the latter two nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. His most recent book The Art of Impossible talks about applicable formulas and methods to actually accomplish the impossible.

The Art of Impossible by Steven Kotler

Stealing Fire by Steven Kotler & Jamie Wheal

The Rise of Superman by Steven Kotler

Join your host Ajit Nawalkha as he has a short but impactful conversation with Lenka Lutonska. Lenka teaches us the fundamentals of personal energy and how our personal state and spirits can impact the people we are working with. According to Lenka, our clients are an outside reflection of our own consciousness and, interestingly, the way we are living our personal relationships can substantially impact our work relationships.

“Our clients and their behavior, even their challenges, very much will reflect often the patterns that we want to break ourselves.” – Lenka Lutonska

In this episode, Lenka also shares a special message for coaches who are in a state of hiding as a consequence of self-doubt and limiting beliefs about their potential. There are some practices like journaling, reflection, and positive self-talk that can truly help us accept ourselves and believe in ourselves. All of these powerful habits can influence not only our internal abilities but also our aptness to coach clients more energetically. 

“All judgment or fear of judgment from others is really a fear of judging ourselves. So I think the actual practical exercise if we want to be more authentic and bring our full selves into the business would be to look at what kind of judgments I’m imposing upon myself, how am I judging myself, and let go of those.” – Lenka Lutonska

About Lenka Lutonska

Lenka is a business coach, trainer, and business strategist who works with powerful transformational coaching programs around the world. Goals that Lenka supports include: scaling businesses to a maximal point of success and excellence and helping companies to create an impactful presence.

Energetic Selling and Marketing by Lenka Lutonska

In this episode, Ajit Nawalkha interviews Sunny Lenarduzzi and they talk about everything you need to know to grow organically on YouTube. In order to develop your coaching business, you need to be aware of all the tools you have to get clients, and YouTube is definitely one of them. Sunny will explain how she was able to create her YouTube channel from scratch to 500k+ subscribers and how you could do the same.

“YouTube just opened my eyes, I had no idea the power of it. […] It’s the only social platform that works for you when you’re sleeping. So when you know how to use it, your content is being discovered by new people every single day.” – Sunny Lenarduzzi

In addition, Sunny explains some really important tips about strategy. You will learn about how to find exactly your “zone of genius” and what problems you should solve, how to build your authority and become a reference, and how to propel your videos – once they’re published – to reach more people and get more views. Using other social media is one of the easiest ways to market your content and should be a crucial step in your distribution.

“Realistically, you want to make sure that the content you’re making is strategic and intentional, reaching the right people, it doesn’t need to reach the masses. I’m not really a believer in viral content; I’m a believer in valued driven content.” – Sunny Lenarduzzi

About Sunny Lenarduzzi

Sunny is an entrepreneur who helps other creators to grow their audience, reach, and clients through YouTube.

In this episode, Coach Ajit shares with you 3 mindset shifts that you can adopt from now on to create a better and more harmonious 2021. We all know that this year was not what we expected: goals were set aside, plans were canceled, and life had to be postponed in some way. However, with these 3 strategies, you will be able to shift your mindset to continue to create progress towards the future you want.

“Don’t worry about what’s working now, worry about what’s in harmony with you and what’s honest to you.” – Ajit Nawalkha

You will learn how to step into the next year with a clear mind, focusing on one month at a time. Once you establish the one thing you are going to focus on at that specific time, Ajit recommends you to write it down and transform it into a commitment. By doing that, we avoid feelings of overwhelm and anxiety that tend to emerge when we have a lot of plans. Instead, we will be able to get clearer on what’s in front of us.
