I don&#8217;t mean that you don&#8217;t get any coaching (if you&#8217;re an active coach, I&#8217;m sure you DO). I mean that you don&#8217;t get coaching in areas where you NEED coaching.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s your area?

He had a father that allowed him to stand on his shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Dave Thomas (Wendie\u2019s &#8211; mentored by Colonel Sanders) &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Dave Thomas was a NOBODY before he met Colonel Sanders. Sanders gave him a TON of coaching. He even copied Sander&#8217;s &#8216;figurehead \/ mascot&#8217; strategy to sell Wendy&#8217;s on those famous commercials.<\/p>\n<p>Me (Robert Alderman &#8211; rated one of America\u2019s top 25 coaches) &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t be anywhere without having been properly mentored by Robert Alderman. He got me started and pushed me to use the proper sales, marketing, and <strong>life coaching business plan<\/strong> to feed myself and keep clients coming in when I first started coaching. Later on, I found multi-millionaire internet marketers that still (to this day) help me with my internet strategy and technique.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be the Michael Jordan of coaching, you&#8217;d better find a Michael Jordan that&#8217;ll mentor you that knows the best coaching techniques. With the right mentor, with even less effort, you can produce 10x the results. I don&#8217;t want a mentor that&#8217;s had moderate success, I want someone truly outstanding in the coaching arena.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re around those role models, the coaching greatness is going to rub off on your life coach&#8217;s business plans\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Leave me a comment sharing who has mentored you in your coaching business, and what area you really NEED (not WANT) coaching in.<\/p>\n<p><em>By the way\u2026 you\u2019re invited to claim your FREE step-by-step \u201c<a title=\"life coaching business plan, life coaching business\" href=\"https:\/\/coachestrainingblog.lpages.co\/leadbox\/144764c33f72a2%3A1511a2ea6b46dc\/5631111958888448\/\" target=\"_self\"><strong>Life Coaching Business Blueprint<\/strong><\/a>\u201d video toolkit.
