The Magical Way to Get Clients

The Magical Way to Get Clients Body of Article Do you ever worry about not being able to get clients? Well -- how do successful coaches with thriving businesses do it? The fastest way to accelerate is to model what works for successful people! For many months now I have been working on an e-book with interviews from ten hugely successful coaches with successful businesses. A major questions focus was: "How did you get so many clients?" One of our coaches, Leza Danly, has coached hundreds of people over past nine years. When we asked Leza how she was able to get a full practice of 20 clients in less than six months, she gave us her success formula. Here is an excerpt from her interview... EXCERPT INTERVIEW WITH LEZA DANLY, MCC Doing inner work ...(You need to) do your personal inner work. Know what you want to create (the kind of coaching practice, size, etc.) and more importantly WHY you want to create it. Invest time to explore your motivation deeply. Because if your motivation is to prove you are good enough, or to run away from failure, or to get people to love and approve of you, or to exploit people, or any of many negative motivations, it won't work. Often these motivations are deeply buried and we don't realize they are at play. When you find joy of service and align yourself with a motivation to contribute, things will turn around. Once you feel confident that your motivation is clean, you need to confront your willingness to give yourself this dream career. This may sound like a no-brainer, but for most people it's biggest challenge. They limp along at a handful of clients, because they honestly feel deep down that to be paid really well for inspiring conversations and having lots of free time is too good to be true. They aren't willing to receive it. Getting Clients: Magic

I am not joking when I say magic was my primary enrollment method. In fact, it was really important to me that I create my practice magically, meaning that I visualized it, I programmed for it, I spent time regularly in meditation imagining my full practice and seeing myself happily coaching a full practice.

How to Fast-Track Your Practice (the 'Mentor Coach')

How to Fast-Track Your Practice (the 'Mentor Coach') Body of Article When I was starting out as a coach I looked around for leading coach in Australia (and chose Christine McDougall). For my next coach I called President of ICF in US (Marcia Reynolds). I believe this track is appropriate for high flyers - those going for big achievements. If you truly believe coaching is valuable, it's just common sense to have your own coach. Choose right coach for you, and it will definitely fast track your practice. In this article I'll share a few tips to help you choose right coach for you. After all, it can be a sizeable investment....let's make it pay off! You're after a coach who has something you want. Are they a well paid professional speaker? Do they have forty clients? Are they in corporate market? Do they LOVE their life? Are they working in your dream niche? Do they own a seaside home? Ar they hugely visible in media? Are they a wiz at internet and technology (cough, cough)? Dream kind of practice you want, and find someone who has it. Ideally, you're also looking for someone with experience in getting new coaches started. They may have what you want, but there's no guarantee they can impart/teach what they know. Anything from US$300 to $500 p.m. is reasonable providing they can demonstrate results and have testimonials. Searching You can do a search for "mentor coach" at any internet search engine e.g. www.google.com You might try coach referral service at www.coachfederation.org - which allows you to limit your search to coaches who offer mentor coaching (note - this does not mean they have experience in this). You can search for a CoachU certified mentor coach at www.findacoach.com. Questions to Ask Most coaches are willing to answer some of your questions, and even do a fr'ee trial session before you sign on. Some good questions to ask are: 1.How long have you been coaching? 2.What training have you had? 3.How many coaches have you/are you currently mentoring? 4.What kind of results have your mentorees had? 5.Can you provide email addresses of a couple of coaches you've worked with?
