Has a coaching client asked you for a refund? It’s a symptom.

Coaches unwittingly create requests like that by undervaluing themselves, which shows up in

· messaging

· offers

· pricing, and

· enrollment processes

How you value yourself colors what prospects and clients experience with you.

Your uncertainty breeds their uncertainty. They’ll show that by asking for:

· References

· Guarantees

· An escape hatch

They’ll ask questions that seem mistrustful which knocks down your confidence.

That painful cycle stops when you decide to own your value. And, YES, you can simply DECIDE!

Then, in every way you operate your business, show that you’ve owned your value.

Let’s talk about practical ways to generate faith in yourself and your prospects faith in you.

This episode is super short and inspired by the SABOTEUR in all of us who keeps us from greatness.

You remember Superman — the dude who could do anything and seemed unstoppable except when he encountered Kryptonite. That green crystal weakened Superman so he was powerless.

Your coaching business kryptonite is something you avoid.

It’s the thing that keeps you from your super power.

You want to coach for a living, help people achieve and transform. And you want to earn well at this so you don’t have to work at someone else’s company on someone else’s goals with their rules!

So what’s your kryptonite in your coaching business? It could be something deeply personal and unique to you.

It trips you up time and again.

I can tell you it’s a great opportunity for you to put your awareness on that thing and evolve.

Your kryptonite could be about 3 things. Let’s dig into that.

Not long ago I was among a group of new coaches who were having an interesting discussion about coaching someone who was un-coachable.

As the situation was described, I realized the coaching conversation was actually between two friends, not a coach and her client.

A friend was having a rough time and the coach, wanting to help, tried to coach her friend through it.

It didn’t end well.

And, they concluded the person was un-coachable.

That took me back to an unpleasant memory when I had just graduated from coach training 20+ years ago. Two of my good friends, who were married, were at my house for dinner and they started arguing.

Eager to use my coaching skills, I jumped in to coach them.

It devolved into losing my friendship for a time. It was a harsh lesson that I clearly needed. And it helped me to understand the ethics of coaching at a deeper level.

Are there situations where it’s okay to coach without a professional coaching relationship?

Let’s dig in to that.

Being a small business owner is a territory for heroes where you can grow into your full potential.

You will positively affect more lives than you know with your coaching.

Still, growing a successful coaching business takes sustained effort. You will work your butt off and be all the better for it!

Recently, I had a walk and talk with one of my past VIP clients, who has thrived in her business for 10 impressive years so far.

We were musing … why do some coaches succeed in business and others do not?

After working with coaches for 2+ decades, I have a theory about the right stuff to thrive long term in your coaching business.

What is the success factor? Is it learned or innate?

In this episode, I share my theory and 5 powerful questions to test the success factor.

What’s your coaching website done for you lately?

Does it help you enroll ideal clients or just sit there collecting cyber-dust?

Most first websites are duds. They’re just online brochures all about the coach and coaching with no mention of the audience, only a list of all the ways the coach can help anyone.

That’s because the website was created before the coach:

· Chose a viable target audience to serve

· Knows the big problems that cause them to seek answers, and

· Writes trust-building copy informed by research (and I don’t mean AI!)

Web designers will gladly create a pretty and trendy website but nothing much comes of it. THEY don’t know YOUR audience.

My first 2 coaching websites were like that.

Your second site can be far better than mine!

In this episode, I'll take you on a journey through a client-winning website, what it can do and what you cannot expect it to do on its own.

Have you had the impulse to rescue your coaching client from themselves?

No shame. Just tell yourself the truth here.

It’s a knee jerk desire that’s belied by your

· energy

· words

· over-delivery

· attachment to outcome

I get it!

You want so much to have a big impact that the basic tenets of coaching—that your client is resourceful and whole and your relationship is co-creative—are overridden.

If you are guilty of jumping into fix-it mode in sessions, don’t stress but DO STOP IT!

Track what’s driving you during coaching sessions.

Right motivation is the anchor of masterful coaching.

As a 2 on the Enneagram, I’ve had to work hard at this, my friends, and it’s worth it!

Allow your client to take the lead in their own transformation with a simple internal process to manage your motives, which I’ll walk you through in this short episode of Prosperous Coach Podcast.

When was the last time you did some deep reflection about your coaching business?

If you’ve been in business for a year or more, you’re ready for real growth.

Would you like to:

• Attract more or better clients?
• Significantly raise your income?
• Work less and reduce stress?
• Leverage your strengths or zone of genius?
• Stop doing what you don’t enjoy or learn how to master it?

When you slow down and take time to think it through, all of that is possible.

Every leap of income and happiness in my business has come about after a big think.

In this episode I share 4 of a dozen powerful questions I ask coaches 1 to 5 years into their business during The BIG THINK, a private business review session.

Self reflection inspires doable strategy when a trusted mentor walks you through it.

I’ve opened up my calendar to meet with you and generate a leap!

Learn more and reserve your space for The BIG THINK on your coaching business.
