💲As coaches, the growth of our business and our development as professionals are deeply intertwined with strategic investments. We know we will have to spend some money to invest in our business, and some of these investments are expected to be of higher value and therefore cost. It’s important to have a budget where you allocate your funds/resources, and clear priorities of where to spend more, or less as your business develops. To ensure these investments align with your chosen field of expertise, & your stage of growth, here's a checklist of areas to consider. This guide will help navigate where to channel resources for maximum impact. 🌟I invite you to think of others that come to mind and add them to the checklist. ✅Education and Certification - Ensure your certifications are up-to-date and relevant to your coaching niche & your location. - Seek specialised training programs that enhance your unique coaching skills. ✅Professional Development - Regularly attend niche-specific workshops, seminars, and conferences. - Stay informed about emerging trends and methodologies in your area of expertise. ✅Coaching Tools and Resources - Invest in tools and assessments tailored to your coaching specialty. - Utilise resources that complement your coaching approach and client needs. ✅Technology Solution - Choose software and platforms that support the specific services you offer. - Ensure your tech stack enhances client engagement and streamlines & where possible, automates your processes. ✅Marketing and Branding Strategy/Systems - Develop a branding strategy that reflects your unique value proposition. -Invest in a proven marketing system that supports email campaigns, sales funnels, paid targeted advertising, clear CTAs & works with external SM platforms - Focus your marketing efforts on channels where your target audience is most active. ✅Networking and Professional Membership - Join organisations and groups related to your coaching focus. - Leverage memberships for learning, collaboration, and referrals within your specialty.

I have been thinking about making this post lately, now that we are so many new people here in this loving, encouraging, supportive and uplifting community that Ed have created! First and foremost, welcome to you new people, hope you are ready to get some insights from the rest of the community, open to be inspired, get AHA-moments and eye openers!❤️ 1. Get to know the gamification - here in Skool you level up by contributing with posts, comments and likes, the culture here is really engaging and we like each others posts and comments - so that we can get the points to level up.📈 2. If you want to move quickly, then what I personally came to realize is to have an ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER for the course, someone that you either are inspired by, want to spend time with, or that you feel you can grow with.🚀💪 3. Practice, practice, practice - find someone or a few to practice with within the group - this is a HUGE advantage for you, to be the better coach when you get your first clients! Personally I WISH I HAD DONE THIS FROM START!💬 4. Take notes, write down the golden nuggets that you get along with the course and also take notes on the course. I started taking notes from comments, and I wish that I did it even more, when looking back.🗒️ 5. Believe in yourself, this have been a LIFE CHANGER for me, in my own apperance - and I know that this will be for some of you guys too!🙏 And remember, we are in the greatest community, we have supportive admins and awesome ''classmates''❤️

Hi Everyone, I have a question. How long do we have access to this class? My husband just joined and watched the introductory video and it said 3 months. Also, how long does this course take to complete? Thank you VERY much for reading and I hope someone knows these answers!!!

I'm new here so wanted to introduce myself. I'm Curtis, a 28 year old engineer who has finally decided to pursue my real life's purpose. I'm in the process of becoming certified as a Recovery Coach and want to gain as many skills as I can along the way. I think perspective is truly important and this collaborative approach is an incredible way to learn from each other. I look forward to meeting you all and learning together!
