Get Coaching Clients: Step One to Positive Profits


OK, so you're a coach. No, make that "COACH." Capital letters. Lots of positivity. You've studied. You're credentialed. Heck, you can do this! This is your dream career.

Now what?

If you stroll the internet you'll find no shortage of coaches. You'll find great site, horrific sites and everything in-between.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Before you create the site and system that will draw people to you, you have to do one thing: Decide what you really want.

"I know what I want. I want clients," you say rolling your eyes. "I already know what kind of coach I am. (Choose one or insert your own title) I'm a life coach. I'm a business coach. I'm a love coach."

Seriously?

Life coach? What exactly does that mean?

It means I help people get their life on track. I help them get unstuck. I help them decide who they really are and what they want.

OK, cool. But you already know telling someone you're a "life coach" is a recipe for confusion and maybe even a yawn, right?

Well, yeah...

So... that's why you need to decide what you really are.

But I already told you...

No, wait! You're not a life coach. (Who came up with that generic title anyway?) You help people get on-tack and stay focused. Sound good?

Yeah.

So, that's what you do. Is it really what you want? Do you LOVE this part of your coaching or is there another area you enjoy more?

Hmm, yeah, I like it. But you know, now that I think of it, I really like helping people make new career decisions. I helped a woman stuck in a dead-end job decide to get training to become a Realtor and now she is really happy and successful. That was great.

OK, so now we're getting somewhere...


***
This is just the first step in making your coaching career more successful. Once you decide what it is you truly want to do (get specific), you can hone your message and people will understand what it is you can do for them.

Fiction - Horror Paranormal Short Stories Book Stirring the Dark on Amazon

H IRE A FICTION WRITER - USA - EXPERIENCED Jars She took the jar off the shelf and fixed the plastic mask over her nose. She inhaled deeply. She smelled nothing but felt the mild euphoria take over. The pain lifted instantly. As she put the jar back in its holder on her bathroom shelf, she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. The stress and creases in her face were noticeably softened. As usual, the gas had worked. She covered the jar carefully to disguise it and put it in a small cabinet designed with a faux face. No one who visited her bathroom would ever suspect it was there. Josh didn’t see the pain in her eyes before she visited the bathroom to take the pill. He did notice she looked visibly happier when she returned. He was glad. He hated to see her in pain and knew her headaches had only worsened over the last couple of months. She did seem to feeling better emotionally too. “Are those pills the doc gave you working better?” She forced a smile and ...

FICTION WRITING SAMPLE - GOING HOME AGAIN - AMAZON BOOK

BOOK EXCERPT “Is there ever a good time for a funeral?” she asked. She had tears in her eyes and was determined not to let them fall in front of her boss. Career suicide , she thought. “Oh, I know, Jana,” said Rob. “I just don’t know how we can spare you right now with the new fall schedule coming up. We have guests to book and segments to decide on.” He sat behind his desk and looked up at her as she stood there. He could see she was upset and felt selfish for even mentioning work at a time like this. “I’ll be available on my cell, my computer, etc., and Quincy can start on the guest bookings, but I’ve got to go, Ron. It’s my family,” said Jana. Her stomach lurched at the thought of going back home after all these years. It had been what…eight, nine, no … ten years since she’d been home. “Go, Jana,” said Rob. “We’ll be fine and we’ll call you only if we need you. Do what you need to do and take whatever time you need,” he said. He knew it was a lie; he wanted her ...

Where to Get Free Life Coaching Leads

When you're starting your coaching business, the toughest thing could be getting new leads. It's where most coaches struggle. However, if you're resourceful, you can come up with leads in your very own neighborhood. One way is to start a networking group. This isn't just any old networking group, however. It's a coach networking group. By working with a small group of dedicated coaches from every discipline (love, life, weight, business, etc.) you can create a "forum" of sorts that not only helps you grow, gives you credibility in your community and exposure, but also gives you a constant source of leads to share with others. By setting up a group like this you can mandate that all members bring and share leads, offer resources for learning and even help share in any costs associated with running the group. You can advertise on local sites like craigslist.org or even set up a Meet Up group dedicated to this.
