ATTENTION COACHES, HEALERS & HELPERS:
Are you ready to reach the clients who really need you?
No doubt, when you started out, you were full of enthusiasm, ready to set the world on fire and help all those clients you were told were out there just waiting for you! You couldn’t wait to get going!
But you’ve since found out that finding clients is a lot more difficult than you expected, especially clients who are willing to pay for your services.
Even though coaching can be quite a lucrative service profession, only 1 in 10 coaches earn an annual six-figure income. Industry-wide, 34% of professionals make $25,000 to $50,000, and 26% earn $10,000 or less. Only 4% of coaches reported earning more than $175,000. The median annual income for a coach is $37,000.

You’re probably thinking to yourself, “I’d be thrilled if I made $37,000 a year! I’m part of that 26% who makes less than $10,000 a year…and I don’t even want to say how much less.”
We understand.
You were probably told to:
- hand out business cards and brochures
- attend networking meetings
- ask for referrals
- contact your local media
- speak in front of groups
…do whatever it took to get the world out that you were accepting new clients.
Even if you are extroverted enough to do all that without a queasy stomach, it still usually takes several years to build a practice that pays enough to live on using those methods.
Can you wait several years?

We are both coaches (a parent coach and a web coach/designer) and we remember how it feels to be where you are.
“I struggled for way too long to make any money in coaching, and was ready to ‘throw in the towel’ many times and just go back to teaching. Luckily, either my stubbornness or tenacity won out, and I began to learn the key ingredients in making money in coaching while not selling out my values or integrity.
So, what helped me go from having several pro-bono clients and maybe one client paying hardly any money at all to several paying clients? The biggest key was that I quit selling “coaching” (which is a process and makes people’s eyes glaze over) and started selling what people wanted: benefits and results. This one change alone helped me start earning money almost immediately.
The next crucial key was for me to get very clear on whom I was meant to serve and what my higher purpose was. I wanted to do more than just make money (though any money at all would’ve been welcome!) I wanted to make a difference for parents in a big way.
As I built my business based on serving others in a way that capitalized on my talents and passions, I realized that marketing didn’t have to be hard or smarmy. In fact, marketing was another way of teaching, coaching and serving. I wish I had known these key ingredients when I started, as I would’ve saved myself valuable time. I also would’ve been serving more people and making money doing it!”

“I spent the first 5 years of my business struggling to keep the two things I love most separate: Coaching and web design. I didn’t think I could do both because they seemed worlds apart to most people – including me!
Successfully using the Internet to grow your business isn’t just about having a great website and marketing knowledge, or I wouldn’t have struggled so long and so hard. All the technical know-how in the world won’t bring the business success you seek without the most important piece: knowing who you are, what you have to offer and to whom…specifically. This is the part I find many people skip over and 9 times out of 10, it’s the missing piece of their online success puzzle, just like it was for me.
None of us can be everything to everyone, but so many of us try to be exactly that – especially online – only to end up frustrated and contemplating giving up. We think by casting a wider net we will have more clients and grow faster. But just the opposite is true.
When I narrowed my focus and started offering only the unique blend of what I loved to do out of all the many things I know how to do, marketing was no longer difficult and mysterious. Not surprisingly, that’s also when I went from wondering who my next client would be to having a waiting list.”
