Life Coaching Income: Are You The Tortoise or The Hare?

June 25, 2011 by Colette Coiner, PCC 1 Comment

How you approach your business will affect your life coaching income. There are two main types of life coaching business owners. I like to refer to them as “The Tortoise” and “The Hare.” The motto of the classic story about the turtle and the rabbit who race each other is that slow and steady wins the race. If your style is more similar to the Hare’s style, don’t worry. The race could have gone either way. The key is to identify your style and adapt your business plan to make sure you maximize your strengths and know how to navigate your weaknesses.

How To Maximize Your Life Coaching Income If You Are Hare

The style of the Hare is someone who is willing to take on any challenge without much thought. The motto of this coach is “See a goal, achieve a goal.” One of the biggest challenges these folks have is the Shiny Object Syndrome. Every opportunity looks great. These folks are naturally gregarious, great at networking, and makes sales easily. Your style is best suited to speaking and networking to get new business.

Your style is best suited to speaking and networking to get new business and make sure you implement systems so the details don’t fall through the cracks.

How To Maximize Your Life Coach Income If You Are The Tortoise

If your style is slow and steady wins the race and you have the patience of a saint, you’re probably also great with managing the details. You have the ability to focus for a long time, and your long term vision will allow you to persevere the ups and downs of the average life coaching income.

Your style is best suited to using internet strategies to generate leads for new clients and business instead of doing what you probably dread most is meeting people for the first time. In this way you could potentially create systems to create enough life coaching income for you and a team of coaches.

Whatever your style, creating a life coaching income is more about creating a plan and taking action on a regular basis. Like the Hare realized too late; don’t take a nap right before the finish line.

Would you like an endless stream of new coaching clients? Simply fill out the form to the right with your first name and email and I’ll send you free videos with step-by-step blueprints for generating a massive income from high paying coaching clients.
