Questions

I've often found myself being the go to person for advice on various career/education matters. Is there opportunity in the to build on as an aspiring entrepreneur?

We all need a little help sometimes, especially when it comes to journeys of self-discovery. Whether your goal is to be more confident or to find fulfilment in a passion project, it can be pretty tough to figure out how to get from point A (identifying a goal) to point B (actually going after and achieving that goal). That is where a life coach comes in. Like a therapist, a life coach is someone who can help you identify strengths and weaknesses and overcome obstacles holding you back in any area of your life be it in business, sports, family life. They help you recognize your true potential and put it to good use. There are many platforms for that where you can help people in various aspects of life for example:
1. Ask Wonder
2. Just Answer
3. Maven
4. 6ya
5. Operator
6. On Frontiers
7. 10EQS
8. Internal Consulting
9. Expert360
10.Presto Experts
But as I can see from your question that you wish to build on an aspiring entrepreneur career on it. Keep in mind these points if you wish to begin that way:
1. Attract the best and repel the rest: The secret to a profitable coaching business is selecting the right clients. Do not get into the “fixing” business of turning losers into winners; it is exhausting. You know the people I am talking about — they say they want something but do not take action to get there or are not willing to pay for it. Instead, focus on helping ambitious people who are already successful get to the next level. Your life will be easier, and they will get great results because success is in their DNA. To do this, you must be outstanding at what you do. Your services or insights must really work. So, ask yourself: Am I the best in the world at what I do? To make a lot of money, you must deliver a lot of value.
2. Envision your ideal business and work backwards: Too many coaches get stuck in a reactive business model with no idea who they serve, how, or why, much less how to market to them. They have no strategy and are constantly spinning wheels without any idea what is next. They are always trying something new, hopping from tactic to tactic, but they never get anywhere. They are working hard, but nothing works. Successful coaches, on the other hand, are proactive. They set a vision and take strategic action to make it come true. They imagine their ideal business and work backwards to make it a reality. They know exactly who they serve, how they serve them, and why. With absurd focus, they follow a single marketing plan that reaches those clients. When you are working with a client, you should not waste a minute of your time or energy. Your goal is to optimize every part of the process. After all, that is why they will pay you the big bucks. Think about how you spend time on your own business the same way. Everything you do should support your vision.
3. Do not share all your knowledge at once: First, pick a niche so you speak your clients’ language. Second, do not offer a month-to-month program; require a 12-month commitment. Your clients probably will not get results right away; so, if they are not committed, they will likely quit in the first month or two. Third, only give your clients what they need to get to the next level. Just because you have a lot to share does not mean you need to share it right away. Your clients will get overwhelmed if they feel like they are drinking out of a fire hydrant, and analysis paralysis leads to inaction. Give them what they need now with a timeline, let them execute, and then give them what is next. Finally, do not beat your own chest and say how awesome you are in your ads. Your marketing should use case studies and testimonials from clients who have gone through your program, experienced results, and improved their lives or businesses. That is how you get leads that will convert into paying clients.
4. Be clear about your message and your value: Language is powerful. Yet most coaches often dismiss it because they are unclear about their message and the value they offer. Get crystal clear on your brand before you launch. Productize your service into a clear, compelling offering that is distinguishable and felt. Avoid overused, generalist language like “happiness,” “spiritual,” “divine,” “well-being,” “transformation,” and “catalyst.” Humans are cognitively aroused by contrast and detail and quickly fatigue with repetitive broad messaging that does not deliver a story. Coaching is a billion-dollar industry that is growing rapidly; but as a result, it is saturated with cookie-cutter messages, language, visual identities, and digital marketing funnels that look and feel the same. The good news? This is the perfect opportunity to cut through the noise and become a reputable, trusted authority through your brand.
5. Only work with your perfect client: First, map out a clear framework, business plan, guidelines, and client expectations. Next, get really clear on your client avatar. Who is the perfect client you would love to work with and can get amazing results for? When you start out, it is tempting to accept clients you do not understand or who might not be a fit so you can grow your business. But that always comes back to bite you. You do them a disservice and they take more time and energy than five of your perfect clients combined. So, get clear on your offer, the packages, and prices, and who you serve best; then stick to it.
6. Ignore conventional sales and marketing advice and be your true self: Listen to that internal voice telling you who you want to serve and what you want to share with the world. Backing yourself and being unapologetically you are what is most important. You could be the hardest-working coach in the world and follow the best advice about marketing and selling, but if you’re doing it with a mask or filter over what you’re really about on a soul level, you’re building the wrong house — and eventually, it will fall to pieces. You will continually feel exhausted, drained, and frustrated trying to grow a business that is not right for you or your beliefs.
7. Create a streamlined system to attract clients and maximize profits: First, attract the type of clients you love to work with. You need a system and process in place, so they come to you, rather than you are chasing them. Then you must convert your leads into clients, which is where most coaches try to do too much. You can build a million-dollar business from one conversion event. Finally, deliver your coaching in a way that gets your clients the best results, minimizes the time you spend so you can scale your business and create the lifestyle you want, and maximizes your profits. That is how you create a coaching business that gives you more money, more impact, and more freedom.
