Choosing Who to Coach

You’re not going to be the right fit for everyone. You’re not going to want to work with everyone. There’s a certain type of client that’s right for you. It’s up to you to figure out who that is and how you’re going to find them.

What Are You Known For?

Gaining Credibility as a Coach

Now you’re all set to go. You’re ready to make waves and change lives as a coach. Only, you’re not sure how to get enough credibility so that someone will hire you. You know what your level of experience is. You know how much you can help and what you can do to inspire others. But, no one else does. Sure, it’s easy enough for experienced coaches to get clients, but how can you get clients as a new coach with little visibility?

Become Known

One of the best ways to gain credibility is to release a book in your industry. You need to release something fairly groundbreaking that will get you a lot of notice.

Earn Money by Offering Your Services as a Business Coach

We all need someone to lead us. It doesn’t matter how far along we are in the game, there’s always someone a little further ahead.

You’re that person for other people. Whether you’ve been in business for decades, years, or even just months, you know more than someone else. You have insight and skills of leadership that can cut down on the time it takes someone else to get started.

What you know is valuable; make no mistake about it.

Not sure you know “enough” to get into the coaching business? There’s something really special and unique about you that’s going to help someone. There is only one “you” on the planet. The longer you wait, the longer the people you’re going to help have to wait to receive your services.

How to Get More Out of Freelancing and Providing Services

As you may know, freelancing is one of the best ways to generate an income online. Assuming you’ve already gotten started, there are ways you can run your business more efficiently, work with better clients, and be happier as a service provider overall.

One of the most common issues I see among freelancers and consultants is that they feel overwhelmed. Many of them deal with “feast and famine.” Sometimes they have a ton of work and money coming in and other times not so much.

How can you avoid this problem? Do you lack consistency? Your goal as a freelancer is to never really have to market for clients. You should set things up the right way from the start so you have a steady stream of inquiries coming in.
