The biggest struggle for most life coaches is learning how to get more clients. The same is true whether you are a success coach, consultant, healer or any other type of sales person. Finding clients is the biggest barrier to entry across the board. If this is you, then youre about to find out what it takes to be a successful life coach.
Here are the common frustrations of most coaches. Please check which ones ring true for you:
You cant find any clients.
Clients dont have any money to pay you.
Clients want to exchange service instead of paying you.
You dont know enough to begin coaching.
You dont know about sales or marketing.
You dont have your website/marketing ready.
You dont know enough about social media yet.
You dont have a business plan.
You dont have business cards.
All the people you know arent interested in coaching.
Potential clients dont know the value of what youre offering.
You dont know how to convey the power of the coaching you offer.
You fear potential clients might think you are a fraud.
You are not certified.
You think youre not ready to have paying clients just yet.
You think you need to learn something else about coaching or sales before you can have clients.
You think youre not good enough to be a coach.
Youre afraid of charging what youre worth.
None of the above are true. They may feel true, but theyre not. You are much more powerful than any reason listed above. The truth is that the only things holding you back are your own thoughts and feelings, your own beliefs about yourself.
Let me explain it this way. Think of someone you know who I would call the MLM guy. Ever year he approaches you with a new business he is doing. Every year its something different. The only thing that remains the same is that he isnt making any money. You look at this guy, and you know that no matter what he does, he wont earn any money. And yet, you know other people who are extremely successful. If they ever switch careers, you know they are going to be successful at whatever they do. Why is that?
Its because the most critical factor that affects your success is your own box that you live within. This box is made up of all your thoughts and feelings. You cant think outside your own box. Everything you create is a result of your thoughts and feelings. You cant create outside your own box. Your mental and emotional box also FEELS real to you. It feels like thats just the way it is. Its just impossible to earn money in your business or to find clients. It feels real.
So you cant produce results in your life that are outside this box. If you want to begin identifying what your box is, look at the results youve been getting. If you want radically different results than the ones youve been getting, then youre going to have to radically change your mental and emotional box. Because the radically different results you want are currently outside your box and not within the realm of possibility of what you can create.
So how do you expand your box? How do you shift what feels real? How do you transform your thoughts and emotions into what produces what you want? Well, you have to first identify what your box is. You have to diligently question your own thoughts and emotions. You must begin questioning everything you think is real or think you know about finding clients.
Heres another clue. The frustrations I listed in the bullet points are where the box begins for most coaches struggling to find clients. These are the very thoughts you must begin to transform.
Heres something else thats very important. Change doesnt come overnight. Theres no magic bullet. Youve had years and even decades of thinking the thoughts and feeling the emotional programming that has created where you are at. You think youll change all that overnight? Not so. It takes time to shift the momentum of your life and your mental programming. It takes time, effort, dedication, commitment and outside help.
Transforming your emotional box is quite the undertaking. But its also the only thing that will radically transform the results you want to create. There is a lot to learn in the process. One of the most efficient ways to go about transforming yourself is by getting outside help and really committing long-term to your own growth.
