Do you ever have the feeling that people in your inner circle aren’t supporting your choice to grow a coaching business?
It can be subtle … family or friends seem not to take interest when you talk about it. Their eyes glaze over or they change the subject quickly.
Or it can be overt … someone directly questions your wisdom in starting a coaching business or taking a bold step in it.
Or it can be in shadow where someone teases you about coaching.
Coaching is misunderstood by most people. The field’s reputation has been damaged by too many people calling themselves a coach who aren’t and it’s been made fun of in the media.
It’s one of the reasons why I encourage coaches not to sell coaching but rather target a narrow viable audience and solve a problem. You’ll use your coaching to serve your clients but not try to convince prospects of the value of coaching.
Rhonda Hess helps new coaches leverage their zone of genius into a profitable coaching niche and launch with confidence. For VIP step-by-step support apply for Rhonda's VIP Coaching Business Breakthrough Program here and she'll be in touch to invite you a discovery call.
