It’s a jungle out there!
If your goal is to become a professional coach, here’s some valuable information: the skills required to coach are the not same skills required to develop a coaching business. It’s a jungle out there, with lots of competition. You cannot afford to devise strategy on the fly or wait until the last minute to think about it. Neither can you allow creative, spontaneous strategizing, which sometimes is inventive but more often ends up extremely risky and counter-productive.
Regardless of your niche, the only way to travel the path of success is through continuous action with an experienced mentor coach. Regardless of whether you want to specialize in career coaching, religious or spiritual coaching, whole life coaching, transformational coaching, personal development coaching, small business coaching, executive coaching, relationship coaching, or grief coaching, basically, your business challenges remain the same.
After graduation, questions, questions, and more questions!
Listening, strategizing, and questioning effectively are three valuable tools for any professional coach to possess. However, virtually everyone who graduates from an accredited coaching institution has, no doubt, similarly learned how to refine and to apply those skills. However, to build a successful coaching business requires that you know how to get just as much out of yourself, as others. What are the thoughts, feelings, images, words, and actions you need to carry you toward your goal? Start by asking:
- Who are your clients?
- Where do they come from?
- How do you attract and keep them?
- How do you build through referrals?
Many highly skilled coaching professionals share a great deal of difficulty coping with the business side of their practice. In fact, some shy away from it entirely, in which case, they hire a mentor coach! If you ignore certain important aspects of your coaching practice, you put your entire coaching career at risk. That’s why you hire an experienced mentor coach (see my resume).
Benefits of a mentor coach
Some coaches are, or plan to work for an organization or corporation. However, if you’re part of the vast majority who intend to go into private practice, your single biggest hurdle may be learning to treat your coaching practice as a business. In fact, no single skill has greater influence on the outcome of your success than this recognition. Coaching clients is a profession. The daily operation of that profession is your business! Hiring a mentor coach will insure the environment is created for these things to happen. Why wait to succeed? Find out today if you and I make a compatible team.
