I have heard it many times. Many coaches who have been in business for over two years have been telling me that they are not actively marketing their business and looking for coaching clients. When I ask why they are not looking for clients, it always seems like they are waiting for something before they can finally start marketing and get clients:
- They are waiting to get yet another certificate
- They are waiting for their web designer to re-design they web site for the tenth time
- They are waiting to finish reading a marketing book they purchased
- Waiting to …
These coaches have been waiting for a few years to start marketing their businesses! And since they haven't marketed their business yet, they do not have clients and they are not able to support themselves with their business revenue.
Waiting for something to happen before you start marketing sabotages you and your business. Stop waiting and start marketing! I have a challenge for you - go ahead and get started with marketing your coaching business. No more excuses of not having certificates or not having finished reading a marketing book. The sooner you start marketing, the sooner you will build a successful business where you have many clients.
Here is a plan to get started with marketing your coaching business today:
- Review what you have already accomplished. Do you publish a newsletter? Have you optimized your web site for search engines? Have you created web site copy that sells?
Put to good use all the marketing materials you have already created. Doing this will save you time going forward.
- Create an online marketing plan for your coaching business. Based on what you have discovered during your marketing review, create an online marketing plan for going forward with your marketing.
If you are just starting with marketing your coaching business, here is what I recommend you do first: create a web site to sell your products and services, get more newsletter subscribers and write and publish articles online.
If you have already done some marketing, your plan may include more advanced online marketing strategies.
- Commit to marketing. Marketing needs to be done every single day in order to see results. This is why I am asking you to make a commitment to following your online marketing plan and promoting your business online. Once you put time into marketing your business, you will start seeing results.
Stop procrastinating and start marketing. Create your online marketing plan and start marketing your coaching business today - your business will be more successful and you will earn more money.

There is no one way on how to become a life coach, just as there is no one way on how to live your life. However, that simply makes the whole process more exciting.
A life coach isn't perfect but he doesn't have a lot of unresolved issues on the side either. You need to take a good, long look at your own situation - and resolve any internal or external issues - before you can effectively help others.
Have you ever been a coach to a neighborhood team? I know how it feels the first time I've coached a team of seven-year-old soccer kids and how much they can really test my patience, not to mention sanity as they run around kicking the ball like ants to a huge, white crumb. It feels strange at first, having to be stared at by a bunch of kids who they will know that I'm not the one in the field. Sounds wrong in a sense, right? But what is the dead about coaching?
Essentially it is about helping you to reach self-actualisation - a point at which you not only truly know yourself but within this knowledge possess a feeling of comfort with and understanding of the person you discover. Your coach engages in a collaborative alliance with you to establish and clarify purpose and goals and to develop a plan of action to achieve those goals. They will establish an understanding of what is really important to you in life and subsequently enable you to take charge of your life; to construct and act upon action plans that will help you to realise these priorities.
As you go through life, you will meet people that have done what you want to do in life. They’ve made it! You know deep in your heart that if they can do it then you can too. So, how do you get to that level of success? Get a coach! That’s right invest in someone who has done what you want to do in life. If you want to become successful in business, then find a coach that has made millions of dollars by building a business. DO NOT hire a coach that has never achieved success in their field!
