As a business success coach, you need to help your success coaching client get better every day. Napolean Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said, “One good idea is all a person needs to achieve great success.” Many of your success coaching clients have a lot of ideas. In fact, they may have too many ideas. That is why they need a business success coach. You are there to help them actually grow their business, instead of just being a know-it-all. I’ll share with you a way of thinking that will help your business success coach clients get the results they want.

Success Coaching: Teach The “Baseline Strategy” To Your Business Success Coach Clients

Right now, in this moment, your business success coach client is one good idea away from multiplying the results they get in business. Once you teach your success coaching client this thought process, they will be able to benefit from it the rest of their life. The thought process is called the “Baseline Strategy.” Your clients’ business success and life success is a combination of all the skills they have right now. It is their time management, sales skills, goal setting and communication skills, etc. The baseline strategy is to have your client keep doing what they’ve been doing that’s working for them. Then, add one new idea or one strategy, and they will see an increase in their results in that area.

For example: let’s say your business success coach client wasn’t asking for referrals from their current clients. Then they hire you to give them success coaching, and you teach them how to ask for referrals. If they add that to what they are already doing, they will improve on the results they are already getting in their business.

Success Coaching: Have Your Business Success Coach Clients Write Down Good Ideas In A Hard Bound Journal Instead Of Yellow Pads

One common problem success coaching clients have is that of having a lot of ideas but no way to organize them. One way to help your business success coach client start to use the baseline strategy is to have them use a journal. When I talk about a journal, I mean a hardbound journal. Your client should take notes when they go to seminars or on coaching sessions with you, but if they write them on a yellow pad they will get lost. When they write them in a hardbound journal, however, they will capture the great ideas permanently. This strategy will help your success coaching client achieve and increase their success in business and in life.
