How Did These Coaches Set Up Their Businesses So Quickly?

You can save yourself the hundreds or thousands of dollars you may have paid a mentor coach or training school. After personally mentoring sixty coaches and founding a coach training school, I've compiled everything I know about starting a successful coaching practice in one easy-to-follow Manual.

And it's wonderful to see such huge results like this:

"I have just broken through the 50th client barrier! When I first read the Coachstart Manual, I had coached just 14 people, and thought '50 clients...no way!'. But just five months later, it's a reality! Thanks for all your help setting me up as a coach, I will always be grateful."

“I wish I had known about the CoachStart Manual before I signed up with my training school. I could have saved myself almost £600!”

Clare Evans, UK

"I 'inhaled' the manual and loved it. You give very practical advice and I particularly liked the 'sample' dialogues that a coach might have with a prospect (warm and hot invitations) and the sample script. I practice it every chance I get. Thanks for such a great and inspiring Manual!"

2.FEATURE: How Big Will You Play?

The year is just over half over. How have you progressed with your career goals? What do you want for the last half of this year?

For the next six months, you can decide to play full out, reaching between 10 and 20 clients and exceeding $2000 per month in revenue. Or, you can aim simply to take on a couple of non-paying clients - it's up to you. You create your game.

Either way, one of the key principles of coaching is to get clear on what you will make happen.

If you're committed to this process, write down or print out the below and put it somewhere you will see it regularly. Then put in place the supporting structure(s) you have chosen and come back. Tell three people you are doing this and ask if they can think of a way to support you.

Target Date

By Dec. 31, 2008 or _________________.

(You can pick a closer goal date.)

Target Clients

By target date I want to be coaching ________ clients.

Target Income

And have a monthly income of $______________.

Support Structure(s)

_____________________________________________

(What will you have in place so you can reach your target goals? i.e. regular marketing time in your schedule, a Mentor Coach, a mastermind group.)
