Why doesn\u2019t everyone want a personal development life coach<\/a><\/strong>? It seems obvious to most coaches that personal development is the way to go. In fact, personal development life coaches could rightly argue they can help just about anyone. Why aren\u2019t their doors being beaten down by clients?<\/p>\n

Sad Truth #1: People Don\u2019t Need A Personal Development Life Coach<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, most people don\u2019t see a personal development life coach<\/strong> as the access to having what they want. They may want a better job, a promotion, better relationships with their spouses or to find a girlfriend\/boyfriend. Most people don\u2019t see themselves as the common denominator to their problems. As coaches we may be able to see that they\u2019re \u201cLooking for love in all the wrong places,\u201d as the song goes, but it\u2019s not our job to change them. If we are going to be effective in reaching out to people, we need to find out what they are looking for, then give them that plus what they really need all in a nice little pill that is easy to swallow.<\/p>\n

Sad Truth #2: People Don\u2019t Want To Transform Their Lives<\/h3>\n

As a personal development life coach<\/span> you probably think that everyone would want to get out of their old miserable live and transform it into something great. The reason why a certain guru’s reality show was cancelled after only 2 episodes proves this. I think Mary Poppins said it best, \u201cMost people can\u2019t see beyond their own noses.\u201d They see the problem in front of them, but lack the awareness to seek out a cure for the root issues. If you try to sell them that, it will be a major disconnect.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re looking to connect with new clients the best solution is to meet them where they are, give them what they want, and then you will have a chance of giving them the personal development coaching they need.<\/p>\n
