Life coaches…
Do you ever sit in front of your computer screen and ask yourself – “how the hell am I supposed to get paying coaching clients???”
“Does it really have to be this hard?”
Do you ever wonder if you’re just wasting time?
Do you wish you could spend more time doing the job you actually set to do in the first place? The job you were trained and certified to do- Helping people change, overcome their blocks, and reach their goals?
Are you uncertain what next steps to take – especially when it comes to marketing?
Do you often wish the clients would just “come to you”?
I know how this feels…
Here’s an intro to my story…
I was in the same place with my first business, some years ago.I was motivated and worked hard, but actually I had no clue what I was supposed to do first. I spent 90% of my time trying to do things that weren’t even my business– trying to figure out how to market myself and get clients. I was spending almost no time actually doing what my business was!
I loved working with people. And helping people reach their goals was essentially what I wanted to do. But I considered myself “stuck” when it came to convincing people to become clients. I did what everyone suggested – I tried posting on social media, linkedin, blogging, networking on groups, writing newsletters. I spent tens of thousands of dollars on digital and print advertising.
I was gaining some traction doing all these things, but it still wasn’t really paying off. I still didn’t have much to show for my efforts and I still felt like I was doing almost 100% something else other than my business (and what I actually wanted to do). I felt like I was just shooting in the dark.
I started feeling frustrated, wondering if I should just throw in the towel (more than once!)
It wasn’t until I learned and mastered the core principles, principles that would attract the exact people I wanted to work with, the ones who were looking for the exact solution I was presenting.
I started putting these methods and strategies into action, and pretty soon things finally started to make sense. It wasn’t just about making posts on social media, blogging, writing newsletters, or any of these things.
There’s so much more to it than that.
When I finally understood and implemented the right way to promote my business, it all started to click. In the years that followed, I no longer had to do much of anything to attract clients. They were just coming to me on their own.
And I finally felt like I was actually doing my business, helping people, and getting paid for it!
Over the last few years I’ve dedicated myself to learning as much as I could – compiling, organizing, and putting together everything I learned into a system. This system will attract the right coaching clients and inspire them to work with you, with tools you’re probably already using.
I’ve got so much more to share about this, and what I’ve mentioned here just barely touches the surface. In fact, to put it into one blog post (well that would be one blog post too long!)
However, there’s a couple things I’d like to leave you with, to help give you a good start:
- Get my 3 Step Guide for Client Leads on Facebook and start building your client leads list right away.
- Get my Ultimate Channel Guide for Coaches and learn how to best communicate with your client leads.
Go ahead, take a look at them, let me know what you think, and if you have any questions!
Additionally, if you’re a life coach who wants to:
- attract the ideal coaching clients to your life coaching business
- start making a difference immediately in your client’s lives with your messaging
- motivate people to contact you and work with you
- stop wasting time on the internet and social media (trying stuff that you’re not sure it’s working)
