The Key to Survival is Treating Your Life Coaching Business Like a Business<\/h3>\n

The most dangerous thing to your life coaching<\/strong> business is lack of cash.\u00a0 You need to have at least as much cash coming in as going out.\u00a0 That means be savvy.\u00a0 Don\u2019t overspend or \u201cinvest\u201d in anything that doesn\u2019t make your either make your life simpler or gives you a return on your investment of at least threefold.\u00a0\u00a0 Sure there are start up costs in any business, but in life coaching<\/span> those hard costs are minimal.\u00a0 You need a phone, computer, and internet connection.<\/p>\n

Treat your business like a job.\u00a0 Show up to work on time, keep a schedule, and get your work done.\u00a0 Too many coaches value their flexible lifestyle to the extent that they actually work very few hours.\u00a0 Work is revenue producing activity such as prospecting, marketing, and creating products.\u00a0 \u00a0Coaching is actually the fun part, but to get there you\u2019ll have to put in the hours to find clients.<\/p>\n
