These steps to becoming a life coach<\/span> will take you from one of many to one of few.<\/p>\n

  1. Get great training<\/strong><\/em>. No \u2013 taking a weekend course for $99 is probably not great training. You get what you pay for \u2013 even in the coaching training business. You don\u2019t necessarily have to go with the most expensive course, but being a bargain hunter is not the best way to get the training you need to be successful. You should do your homework – search for reviews and testimonials, ask about mentor coaching, and make sure they have a comprehensive list of courses that also include learning about the business side of coaching.<\/li>\n
  2. Learn how to market and promote<\/strong><\/em>. No independent coach can be successful without mastering the skills of promotion. You can certainly hire someone to help you with marketing, but if you want to break out of the pack and achieve recognition and earn more money, you will need to be the main promotor of your coaching. Master marketing and your potential is unlimited.<\/li>\n
  3. Think like an entrepreneur.<\/strong><\/em> Your first love is coaching, but if you want to expand beyond the normal boundaries of a coaching business, you must think like an entrepreneur. You must explore new ways to obtain and retain clients. You have to find ways to leverage your time \u2013 group coaching, webinars, and seminars. You also need to develop alternate income streams \u2013 books, CDs, DVDs, and product development.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now that you know the steps to becoming a life coach<\/strong> who achieves fame and fortune, it\u2019s time for you to take the first step to becoming a life coach \u2013 the first step on a journey that is both personally and financially rewarding.<\/p>\n
