It’s funny, before people decide that they need a coach to help them in business, they seem to be cynical about the idea. They either think that those who hire a coach just can’t hack it on their own, or they think that it’s not worth hiring a coach until you’re at a specific level in business.

Do You Need a Coach?

Posted on by • 0 Comments

learning concept with education elementsWorking online with your own business is fantastic. You get to do what you want, when you want to do it.

It’s great… until reality sets in. You’re on your own, truly. You are responsible for your failures. You’re responsible for your procrastination, lack of progress, and all the things that have gone wrong in your business.

Ugh. That’s pretty discouraging. Sure, you have your great moments in business and you wouldn’t trade it for anything else. You don’t want to work for anyone else, build anyone else’s business, or play by anyone else’s rules.

But, you feel so alone. Even if you’re a total introvert, it’s difficult to not feel like you’re off in the wilderness with no one to call for help.

One-on-one coaching is actually preferred and ideal for a number of reasons.

This allows you to work very closely with one person at a time. You can really get to the heart of what they need and want so you can be as effective for them as possible.

You can offer this form of coaching either in person or online— it’s very adaptable. You can even offer a combination in between. In fact, some coaches offer online coaching and work with people from all over the world. The distance doesn’t matter much at all, as long as you adhere to best practices for business coaching.

Becoming a Coach

Coaching is extremely exciting. You’re at the point where you’re ready to offer more. You’re ready to change lives—your own life as well as the lives of others.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to get into the mindset of a coach. At this point, you’ve possibly been the one being coached, not the other way around. It really is a mindset switch. Are you really ready to lead other people? I think you’re ready— you just have to convince yourself of that. Continue Reading (only available for IMIT members)

Recurring Income From Coaching

Posted on by • 0 Comments

Recurring income is a wonderful thing to have—especially when you’re building life changing income as someone offering coaching for life or business related topics. It’s hard to get new customers—you know that as a businessperson. It’s much easier and much more ideal to have the same customers pay you over and over again.

That’s exactly what can happen when you focus on recurring income from coaching. You’ll find coaching clients, win them over, hook them with a fantastic, long-term coaching plan or program, and they’ll pay you over and over again.

As a coach, you provide a wonderful service. People pay you to learn what you know. They pay to get access to your unique insights for their life or business. They’re also paying to tap into your experience, including your prior failures, so that their path to success is easier and quicker.

Sometimes, coaching is a one-off thing. A client will hire you as a coach and pay you one sum of money in exchange for help in reaching a particular milestone or help in resolving an important problem they have.
