I am relatively new to LinkedIn, and I have to say, 18 months in, it is hands down my favorite of the socials.
With the right kind of engagement and posts, it can quickly become a supportive community as well as a place to attract serious clients.
It’s not surprising that supportive community and client attraction go together.
This episode of Prosperous Coach Podcast is NOT about LinkedIn, but it is about why generating positive energy around your business goes a long way to building your success in coaching.
I will share simple ways to generate positivity within yourself and out in the world, which helps you to launch your coaching business well and stay in the flow of good opportunities.
Its time to shake yourself out of the check-it-off doldrums that can happen to coaches in their early years of business.
I double dog dare you to start using these ways in your life and business every day and watch what happens next!
Thank you!

This episode is inspired by the wisdom of hindsight. Don’t we all love hindsight!
As a highly experienced coach, I can say without hesitation that not every coach will be the best client for me. And not every client will be the best client for you either.
In fact, some clients could end up being difficult to work with. In that case you and the client may suffer each time you have a session. And that’s sad because here you are intending to do good yet harm could be done.
I assure you, it’s not because there’s anything wrong with that client or that there’s anything wrong with you. It comes down to how well the client aligns with you and you align with the client.
Thank you!

I’ve never known a coach who wouldn’t get value out of this episode even a few years in to their coaching business … or ten.
Just the idea of money is fraught with complicated beliefs stemming from our childhoods and even further back than that. \
Unhelpful beliefs about worth and earning and money are deeply rooted into our cultures and ancestry. So it’s not surprising that we all struggle with money mindset.
· Most have worthiness issues and that feels like imposter syndrome.
· Some people don’t think they should charge for coaching because it’s a helping service.
· And for some, money is distasteful — a dirty thing. No doubt many dirty things have been done in the pursuit of money since humans started walking Earth.
But money itself is just a tool. That’s an important shift right there. It’s a neutral tool that, at this point in human existence, most need to employ to live.
Let's pick this apart so you can have a mindset shift!

Let’s talk about the 5 secrets of a profitable coaching niche. Find the transcript and get my FREE GUIDE to help you choose a niche you’ll love.
The coaching clients you’ve had love you! But you don’t have enough who pay well. You are starting to wonder ...
Where are the clients who value coaching enough to invest in it?
A better question is … how many people know you exist?
And, are you positioned to capture their attention in a professional way?
That’s why it’s smart to niche.
Look, I get it. This coaching niche thing can feel like torture. You've had ideas that sparked your passion once, but they didn’t pay off
But neither has trying to sell coaching around a certain topic or to a broad group.
It's time to create a niche that helps you stand out in the crowd. It’s centered around a very specific group of people and their unique problems in the way of something they want urgently.
That’s how you become a coach in high demand and command prices that pay you well.
Thank you!

Everything you do attract or detracts the clients you want.
Before we dig in, I want to thank you for all the 5 star ratings and great reviews you have bestowed on Prosperous Coach Podcast and me.
Here’s a review from someone who used the moniker Soulful Coach.
This podcast is my go to for encouragement and quick reminders on specific topics that I’m struggling with. Rhonda is an amazing business coach and person. Her VIP program for coaches not only helps you identify your niche and much more but also helps you achieve personal growth in all dimensions of your life.
This review fits today’s topic about attracting ideal clients. I feel so blessed that I get to work with amazing human beings like Soulful Coach. How did that happen?
Most all of my clients apply to work with me because they like what they are hearing in my podcast episodes. My podcast is my content strategy.
What’s your content strategy? Whatever it is, the content should strike a resonant chord with your audience. That’s the best way to attract ideal clients.
Thank you!

Did you know that charging higher fees will help you become more confident as a coach?
It worked for me and I've seen it work for my clients as well. Setting fees that will pay you well is an important threshold to cross as a new coach. The longer you wait to cross it the scarier it will feel.
Sure, it makes sense to give some coaching away during coach training. Your trainer might have encouraged that because they want you to practice coaching skills with as many people as you can as often as possible.
Practice integrates learning.
The downside of offering free or low-cost coaching past coach training is it becomes an ingrained habit. That’s how some coaches get stuck in what I call perpetual student mode.
This is where that practice-integrates-learning thing can work against you, as it becomes increasingly difficult to shift from free or charging little to charging fees that pay you well.
It’s time to break free from this trap. Let’s talk about how.
