    When I first started my business, I was pretty precious about every little thing.

    I purchased beautiful little envelopes and cards in my brand colors and paraphernalia with my brand logo on it thinking everyone would want those things.

    I sent my clients onboarding packages by mail with a fancy notebook, pen and, what I thought were other fun things.

    Of course, I didn’t consider the expense of these things either in my time or how it was digging into my profits.

    I spent so much time on things that I thought mattered and not enough time on the things that really did.

    Sometimes, I would send my clients birthday and Christmas gifts. I put a lot of thought into them.

    And when I didn’t, it was because I couldn’t decide what to send and I would feel badly about that.

    I wanted my clients to feel special. I wanted to show them I cared. And, I think I may have been compensating for my newness as a coach because I felt I was not enough.

    Let’s talk about giving gifts to clients and whether it’s a good idea or … not.

    Thank you!

  • 313: Are Your Stuck in the New Coach Swirl & Spin? Listener's Choice

    It breaks my heart to see so many coaches stuck. I’ve been there.

    When new coaches reach out to work with me, I ask them for a snapshot of what they're doing to build their business.

    Nearly all admit that their head is spinning because they’re doing stuff like this:

    · Looking at other coach's websites, which inevitably is anxiety producing. And, you don’t know if that site is client-winning or a dud.

    · Force feeding massive amount of information.

    · Surfing for answers to BIG questions like how do I choose my niche or what do I need to do to earn well as a coach? Answers are complex and it’s best to get actual support for those things.

    · And, investing in programs out of fear, sure this next shiny object will solve all their problems.

    That fire hose of confusing information leaves you breathless with overwhelm and unable to move forward.

    This is what I call the new coach swirl and spin and it’s time to snap out of it.

    Thank you!

    One of my VIP clients emailed me asking if she could coach me in our next session to get more practice.

    It wasn’t without risk. How might it affect our mentoring relationship?

    I decided to say ‘yes’. It had to be something real for me because making something up would not give her practice. And it needed to be complex enough to truly challenge her.

    I had been deliberating about a very serious decision. Something that involved my health, finances and it affected my partner too. I felt gifted because I really did need an objective person to share this dilemma with.

    So in our next session we jumped into the co-creative relationship.

    My client’s coaching was near to flawless. I came away from the conversation feeling clear about my next step.

    She asked for feedback and it was easy to give her praise about a dozen things. There was only one thing that I thought needed correction ...

    Thank you!

    I am relatively new to LinkedIn, and I have to say, 18 months in, it is hands down my favorite of the socials.

    With the right kind of engagement and posts, it can quickly become a supportive community as well as a place to attract serious clients.

    It’s not surprising that supportive community and client attraction go together.

    This episode of Prosperous Coach Podcast is NOT about LinkedIn, but it is about why generating positive energy around your business goes a long way to building your success in coaching.

    I will share simple ways to generate positivity within yourself and out in the world, which helps you to launch your coaching business well and stay in the flow of good opportunities.

    Its time to shake yourself out of the check-it-off doldrums that can happen to coaches in their early years of business.

    I double dog dare you to start using these ways in your life and business every day and watch what happens next!

    Thank you!

  • 310: Why Some Coaching Clients May Not Be Right for You

    This episode is inspired by the wisdom of hindsight. Don’t we all love hindsight!

    As a highly experienced coach, I can say without hesitation that not every coach will be the best client for me. And not every client will be the best client for you either.

    In fact, some clients could end up being difficult to work with. In that case you and the client may suffer each time you have a session. And that’s sad because here you are intending to do good yet harm could be done.

    I assure you, it’s not because there’s anything wrong with that client or that there’s anything wrong with you. It comes down to how well the client aligns with you and you align with the client.

    Thank you!

    I’ve never known a coach who wouldn’t get value out of this episode even a few years in to their coaching business … or ten.

    Just the idea of money is fraught with complicated beliefs stemming from our childhoods and even further back than that. \

    Unhelpful beliefs about worth and earning and money are deeply rooted into our cultures and ancestry. So it’s not surprising that we all struggle with money mindset.

    · Most have worthiness issues and that feels like imposter syndrome.

    · Some people don’t think they should charge for coaching because it’s a helping service.

    · And for some, money is distasteful — a dirty thing. No doubt many dirty things have been done in the pursuit of money since humans started walking Earth.

    But money itself is just a tool. That’s an important shift right there. It’s a neutral tool that, at this point in human existence, most need to employ to live.

    Let's pick this apart so you can have a mindset shift!

    Nov 5 2024

    Let’s talk about the 5 secrets of a profitable coaching niche. Find the transcript and get my FREE GUIDE to help you choose a niche you’ll love.

    The coaching clients you’ve had love you! But you don’t have enough who pay well. You are starting to wonder ...

    Where are the clients who value coaching enough to invest in it?

    A better question is … how many people know you exist?

    And, are you positioned to capture their attention in a professional way?

    That’s why it’s smart to niche.

    Look, I get it. This coaching niche thing can feel like torture. You've had ideas that sparked your passion once, but they didn’t pay off

    But neither has trying to sell coaching around a certain topic or to a broad group.

    It's time to create a niche that helps you stand out in the crowd. It’s centered around a very specific group of people and their unique problems in the way of something they want urgently.

    That’s how you become a coach in high demand and command prices that pay you well.
