\"\"The Big Idea:<\/strong>\u00a0Market what your target audience wants, such as a quick fix or affordable solution, to generate income and help more people, followed by enrollment for your help implementing the solution and next steps.<\/p>\n

For new coaches:<\/strong> An easy way to get your first practice clients and launch your new coaching business.<\/p>\n

For experienced coaches:<\/strong>\u00a0Attract more clients by marketing smaller, more focused programs and solutions for your target audience.<\/p>\n

Your coaching skills enable you to help almost anyone with any problem or goal, because as a coach you are not required to be an expert, give advice, and provide direction. Instead, you apply your coaching skills to:<\/p>\n

A) support your client to identify what they want
\nB) explore options for getting what they want
\nC) develop a plan to get what they want, and
\nD) implement their plan for getting what they want.<\/p>\n

That’s it. That’s coaching in a nutshell. However, people don’t really know what coaching is and often will just want your advice about a pressing relationship challenge and do not react positively if you respond by saying something like “I assume you are the expert on your life and I don’t give advice.” People care about results, not how you help them get the results, so there is no need to go down that rabbit hole.<\/p>\n

The two \u201cmini coaching programs\u201d below are intended to give your some ideas for providing an affordable, entry-level structured program to help your target audience, generate revenue, and be a funnel for your future coaching clients.<\/p>\n

Cautionary Note:<\/strong><\/h5>\n
These programs assume you are following the steps provided using your coaching skills and not providing advice, opinions, and direction to your clients. Even if you have the professional qualifications and experience to provide advice and direction, doing so will not help you become a masterful coach or build a successful coaching business.<\/h5>\n
Don\u2019t abuse your coaching superpower and be tempted to shortcut the process by giving your opinions and telling your clients what you think they should do. Doing so is ineffective, won’t motivate them to hire you as their coach (which is your goal!), and when getting involved in such personal, intimate issues, it can backfire and have serious consequences for your professional future.<\/h5>\n

Mini Program Option 1:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Quick Start Program\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A short three session coaching program to help your target audience get started on the path to accomplishing the big goal that you specialize in helping your clients achieve.\u00a0\u00a0The purpose of this program is to help them become more\u00a0clear<\/em>\u00a0about their goals, develop a\u00a0plan<\/em>\u00a0for achieving their goals, and select strategies for implementing their plan.<\/p>\n

The deliverable of this program is to help your target audience get started and take the first steps on the path towards accomplishing their biggest goal or dream related to your specialty and niche. Given that most people have big dreams that sit permanently on the shelf waiting for “some day<\/em>,” this is an incredibly valuable service and entree into coaching.<\/p>\n

The logical follow up to this program is to get your help implementing their plan to accomplish their big goal\/vision (i.e. coaching), which would most likely be quite daunting for most people to accomplish on their own.<\/p>\n
