Moving From Mentee to Mentor

Sometimes, it can be difficult to get into the mindset of a coach. At this point, you’ve probably 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.

How Do You Know You’re Ready?

You’ve learned so much from other people. You’ve read countless books and gone through countless courses. You read blogs and news articles daily. You belong to forums and social media groups related to your industry. Most importantly of all, you put it into action. You’ve achieved at least some success with everything you’ve learned.

Now you have the itch. You’ve seen others who are where you used to be. They’re struggling, and you know they could use some help. You see them making simple mistakes and floundering when all it would take is some simple direction. Are you the one who can give it to them?

As a coach, you want your clients to be as successful as possible. The more successful your clients are, the more successful you will be. Not only will you earn more as a coach, there’s also a wonderful feeling that comes along with truly helping someone.

You’ll be asking your coaching clients a lot of questions throughout your time coaching them.

Helping Your Client Succeed, Simplify, and Focus

Get Them to Succeed with Something Small

You’re working hard to gain the trust of your coaching clients. They’re working hard, setting goals, and making plans for the future. You’ll soon learn that most clients will get very discouraged if they don’t see immediate results. What do you do then?

If you’ve read my other products, then you may have come across my 5 Bucks a Day book. This was my first book in the Internet Marketing market and it’s been a wild success. It focuses on completing small projects you know you can complete. These projects earn you passive income that stacks up over time.

I have another book called Week One Profits that’s also designed to help people earn quickly. I’m a fan of long-term profits and building a long-lasting business, but it really can do wonders for your success if you find success quickly. Week One Profits is full of 10 business models your client could be up and earning with in under a week.

Top Traits of the Most Highly Effective Coaches

There are certain coaches out there that are just so much more effective than others. As a coach yourself, you want to be in the category of those that are most effective. The only problem is, maybe you don’t feel that you are naturally in this category. You might have some ways to go before you can be labeled as highly effective.

Think about it for a moment. What do those “highly effective” coaches have that you don’t have? Are they any smarter or better than you? Are they truly, naturally a better coach than you?

I think you’ll find that they aren’t naturally better than you. There are certain things they do that make them highly effective. But, you can adopt these traits—and it’s easier than you think. You just have to put a focus on effective coaching traits and adopt them into what you do as a coach. Put these at the forefront of what you do and your students/coaching clients will benefit and you will be more highly effective.

Motivating Your Coaching Clients to Succeed Based on Their Needs

I want to spend some time on motivation because it will always be one of the biggest hurdles you face as a coach. How do you get people to do things they couldn’t motivate themselves to do on their own?

Why People Won’t Just Do What You Want Them To

If people would just do what was good for them, you’d be out of a job. I don’t mean to be flippant about it, but it’s the truth. You have to become an expert at motivating people, because, quite honestly, that might be all that your client needs.

Your goal isn’t just to get them to follow what you say right now, though that’s the most many coaches can hope for. Your goal is to give them a whole new set of skills they can use to succeed and stay motivated for the rest of their lives. That’s the mark of a true, life-changing coach. You have to motivate and inspire people to success.
