To get your coaching career to its highest level, you have to own the outcome. I hear people that talk about building a life coaching business. Usually, they have a reason why they havenât done it yet: itâs not the right time, they have family commitments, donât know where to find clients; Iâm tired when I get home at night, etc. I will share with you a couple of key mindsets you can use to break through and create the life coaching business you really want.
Life Coaching Business: Your Coaching Career Doesnât Exist Because You Have Not Been Committed
.
Your life coaching business isnât what you want it to be because you havenât caused it. When you make an excuse, even if it appears real, it isnât the excuse thatâs keeping you from your goal — itâs you! Donât say that I donât understand youâre circumstances. Stop hiding behind your excuses. I promise you I can find someone with more difficult circumstances than you, that against all the odds succeeded in their coaching career.
One of my coaching career mentors says something that will help you create the life coaching business of your dreams. He says, âIf youâre willing to do whatever it takes you wonât have to.â That means, if youâre committed to your life coaching business, you will cause the result. You will not have to do everything it could possibly take to be successful, if youâre willing to do it. This is what âown the outcomeâ means. It means you donât make excuses in your coaching career; you either get the result, or you donât.
Coaching Career Metaphors: Learn From Pregnant Women How to Have the Life Coaching Business of Your Dreams
.
You can learn a lot about having a coaching career from pregnant women. How? Weâve talked a lot about commitment. One of my mentors, Gary Ryan Blair, says, âCommitment is like pregnancy — youâre either committed or youâre not.â Heâs right. Youâre either going to run the amount of free sessions you need to run for your life coaching business to succeed, or youâre not! Youâre either going to get the training or coaching you need, or youâre not! Youâre either going to learn the sales skills and ask them to hire you, or youâre not!
Take massive action on your dreams of having a life coaching business! If you do not, you are communicating to yourself and to others that you donât care about your dreams relative to a coaching career. If you donât care, why should anybody else care about your life coaching business? So commit to whatever it takes to build a successful coaching career and get it done!
