And here it is!!! Thank you very much @Ed JC Smith and the champion academy for all the information you have given to me, thank you very much for this title and thank you all beautiful community for being always there for each other 🚀💪🏰 Seeing my client's repetitive patterns and breaking the chains that hold him back has never been so easy 🚀

I just joined this amazing community! - thanks Ed for creating. I am building a strategic business coaching practice and this program is definitely leveling up my skills.

New coaches, I'm sharing this with you because I've heard these doubts too often, and I've faced them myself. I hope these will encourage you to move forward more confidently in your coaching career. These insights are not just for the established; they're vital for you starting out: 1) Avoid Coaching for Free: • Always charge SOMETHING. This establishes a value exchange. • You'll feel more appreciated and motivated knowing you're earning. Your clients, too, will value and commit to the process more because they've invested financially. • Start with a few ‘trial’ clients where their repayment for your coaching is a testimonial used to establish credibility. Don’t stay here too long. • Coaching far too long and not being comfortable charging for services stems from feeling unworthy to charge – in this example, not charging devalues what you offer. • Seasoned coaches understand this balance of value, and it's a lesson to embrace early in your career. 2) Steer Clear of Hourly Charging: • Hourly rates aren't effective. • We cannot create value in one-off sessions (unless you have a specialized skill such as NLP or hypnosis where one or two sessions suffice) as transformation doesn’t happen overnight. • Instead create a 2-month, 3-month, or 4-package or offering or group program. • Begin with lower rates, increasing them gradually with every 4-5 clients as your confidence grows, a strategy seasoned coaches often use. • Coach 3 or 4 sessions per month for 30-60 minutes. 3) A Website Isn't a Must (initially): • Don't get stalled by the absence of a website. • Many successful coaches started with just a basic page, and some of my clients have never even visited my website. • Focus on coaching quality over online presence, just as many experienced coaches have realized. • While a website can be a good lead generator, you can build it out as you enroll and coach clients. 4) Have a Solid Contract: • Ensure you have a strong contract with clear legal boundaries. • It’s essential for both your protection and that of your clients.
