Beyond the Image PodcastHow to Grow Your Coaching Business with Frank MacriI truly wonder how often it is that we as entrepreneurs get into our field in a very roundabout way. For example, as a photographer, I got into photography through being a journalist. The plan was never to be a photographer. I was trying to leverage my experience as a photographer to get more jobs as a journalist. Eventually, I owned being a photographer. The same thing happened as a business coach.

Gay Dating Secrets18. The Way You Talk About Your ExIf I asked you to tell me about your ex, what would you say? Would you have negative things to say?
Talking negatively about your ex is unnecessary, and it is unattractive.
The more you blame an ex for why a relationship failed, the less responsibility you show you will be willing to take in your next relationship.
You must release resentment you feel about your exes if you want to open yourself up to a new, healthy relationship.

Riding A BreakthroughA client's best insights will come when they are in a Breakthrough State. This is when they are tapping into their highest level of consciousness.

You may naturally be showing up as a coach in all contexts without realizing it, even in contexts where you aren't coaching a client.

Maybe they say, "You're different." Or, "You're not the person you used to be."
Sometimes people will have a negative reaction to your personal growth.
This can be hard because rather than be excited for you, they may instead pressure you to change back.

At the basic level, people understand it's important to have boundaries in relationships.
But few people know how to enforce and maintain boundaries.
If you set boundaries without setting consequences, the boundary is counterproductive.

It's normal for clients to respond with "I don't know", but that doesn't mean they actually don't have an answer.
It's important to not take an "I don't know" at face value. Usually, this means your client just needs a little bit of support accessing the answer.
Remember, if they don't know, nobody knows.
So, where do you go in a session if the client is stumped?

Our brains may trick us into thinking that before we get started, we should feel more confident.
For coaches, you may think, "I will be able to get clients WHEN I am more confident."
This is actually not true. You don't need confidence to move forward in life. WHAT you actually need is WILLINGNESS.

You may think, "I love the coaching, but I hate the marketing!"

Cost is the investment you make in something. Value is the return you receive.
When you focus on the cost of something, it creates feelings of scarcity because you are focused on what you will lose. This scares you from taking action, which limits your life.
Alternatively, when you focus on the value of something, it creates abundance because you are focused on what you will gain.

Decisiveness is a leadership quality, and it's an essential quality to have if you want to become a successful coach and business owner.
When people say they are "stuck" in life, it's because they are not making decisions.
When people say they are exhausted in a career, it's because they are not making decisions.
When people are unhappy in a relationship, it's because they are not making decisions.

When you brag just to brag, it is annoying. But, when you share wins AND you are helping other people succeed too, it is inspiring.
It is not "humble" or "modest" to withhold your achievements. Keeping your successes a secret does not serve anyone. Hiding your gifts does no one any good.

"Don't change anything or you might lose it all."
These thoughts are all a sign of toleration. Toleration is like a glue that keeps us stuck in a life of complacency.

If you’re the cheapest coach, nobody expects you to be the best, and if you’re the best coach, nobody expects you to be the cheapest.
Premium coaches charge high-value, high-ticket programs. But being a premium coach is about much more than just charging more.

How To Start Any Coaching SessionThe first few minutes of a coaching session set the tone for how the rest of it will go.
The beginning of a session is where you must help your client identify where they are, where they want to be and what's getting in their way. You must do this mindfully because if you don't capture the right information, the rest of the session will end up sloppy and scattered.

The 5 Signs You Are Born To CoachMany people are born coaches without even realizing it. People are often unaware of what it really takes to be successful as a coach, and people question if they have the potential to do well in this career.
When people hear about leadership coaching, life coaching, or business coaching for the first time, they think that the signs you will successful are if you have a lot of life experience, a large following, and charismatic, high energy personality.
The truth is that none of those elements matter. When I started life coaching in early 20's, I...2021-04-2236 minLife Coaching Secrets13. A Day in the Life of a Life CoachBefore I became a coach, I would hear about successful coaches and envy them. I thought they were so lucky. It aggravated me that they had a life that I most wanted. But then I realized that their life is just as attainable for me as it is to them. I have the opportunity to design a life I love.
Instead of being jealous of these coaches, I decided to be inspired by them. I let that guide me towards creating a life on my terms.

Not all pressure is created equal. Negative Pressure is when you are being pushed to do something against your will. Positive Pressure is when you are being pushed to do things aligned with your goals.
Positive Pressure inspires you to show up to your goals in dreams more than ever before. It nudges you to become the person you want to become.

Whenever you start to imagine a better life, there will be a push-and-pull between maintaining your current life and going after the life we want to have.

As coaches, we must be OK with our clients being in pain. Coaching is a messy, painful process. That's what makes it so transformational.
You are not coaching to get your client's approval. And, you are NOT coaching to make your client feel good.

"How Drama" is when your clients demand that you tell them how to solve their own problems. They want you to give them solutions, strategies and ideas. It may feel useful and necessary to give your clients the "how", but doing so does more harm than good.
