Coaches Rising presents…

Discover the Proven 12-Step Process to a Vibrant Clients-Packed Coaching Practice that Enables You to Make a Comfortable Living Doing What You Love and Have the Positive Impact You Desire

Your teachers…. 11 of the world’s most acclaimed business building experts, including the #1 NY Times best-selling author Tony Schwartz, Dave Ellis whose books have sold over five million copies, and serial entrepreneur, Brian Johnson.

Could it really be possible to wake up one day to a vibrant coaching practice filled with your ideal clients, making a comfortable living by doing what you most love to do, and gradually having the boundary between work and play dissolve?

The answer is a resounding yes. Simply put, our assembled faculty of teachers have helped thousands of conscious coaches throughout the world eliminate the stress, overwhelm, frustration and exhaustion that results from not having a coaching practice that’s easy, fun and profitable to run. They have helped them experience and attain the freedom, wealth and abundance that come with a sustainably successful coaching practice, and now, they’d love to help you experience the same as well.

Dear friend and fellow coach,

We have some important questions for you. Think carefully as you answer them….

Do you sometimes feel like maybe it’s impossible for you to make a comfortable living purely from your coaching?
Have you ever felt like you were born to coach but are currently lacking the entrepreneurial know how and mindset that’s needed to succeed?
Do you ever feel tired of chasing clients one by one trying to convince them of the value of your coaching?
Have you ever experienced overwhelm by all the business and marketing advice catered to coaching professionals?
Are you intimidated by the success stories of so called 6-figure coaches while you and your friends are actually scraping by and because of that are forced to accept work that is misaligned with your real gifts, purpose and deepest values?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we have some very important news for you…..

Ready?
Here it comes.

You are not alone!

In fact many coaches out there are struggling and we know this from our own experience, from talking with dozens of coaches in our network, and from actually surveying thousands of coaches online.

Inspired, but Overwhelmed and Unprepared

It’s a fact that most coaches leave their coach training inspired and excited, filled with a deep sense of fulfillment and optimism having found a vocation that is so close to their natural way of being, only to discover that they are not equipped nor prepared for the reality of being a coaching entrepreneur.

Both (myself and Joel) of us have been there and are intimate with both the deep sense of fulfillment of coaching someone towards better performance and greater wholeness, as well as the frustration and exhaustion of attracting and losing clients one by one without building sufficient momentum to sustain yourself (and possibly those you love).

Instead we had to continue doing work that did not tap into our real strengths and greatest gifts and this often left us feeling discouraged and emotionally and energetically drained.

Most Importantly

We sought some help and we tried to follow solid but often contradictory marketing advice from various gurus, but lacked a clear strategy, program and business model to tie it all together. We explored the web and social media but often felt overwhelmed and confused on what to put our energy and time in and how to communicate. Perhaps most importantly we failed to hit the balance between sensible expert guidance and being engaged to find our own answers and our uniquely personal entrepreneurial style.

Sounds familiar?
Keep reading because things are about to head up.

We took a risk…

Feeling the pain of not being able to sustain ourselves from coaching and on top of that having to do work that felt misaligned and seeing many around us in the same situation, we decided to take action and create something that would really help coaches like yourself build a vibrant coaching practice and thrive.

So what did we do?

We extensively researched the web and available literature for the underlying principles that are absolutely essential for becoming a sustainably successful coaching entrepreneur.

We discovered the main pain points coaches run into as they branch out into coaching entrepreneurship. The underlying principles that determined why some coaches made it and others continued to struggle to get by.

Those who tended to these principles and stuck with them generally survived and thrived, those who didn’t struggled and most often had to give up their dream of making a living doing what they love.

Then we did some more research on the world’s most acclaimedand conscious experts on the exact 10 principles we uncovered.

We interviewed each one of these experts in depth and even invited other coaches just like you to ask them their most burning questions while being in the midst of building a coaching business and recorded these powerful interviews.

Finally we created engaging and fun action guides that would help you actually apply the insights of the experts to your unique situation and personality in order to really make the process of growing a coaching process come alive and become both manageable and personal.

Our rich backgrounds as coaches, creative’s and in educational psychology helped create an easy to follow program that allows you to really embody this shift towards coaching entrepreneurship one step at a time.

The 10 Underlying Principles

So what are those 10 underlying principles you need to engage in order to stop struggling and start thriving? The ones at the heart of the program we created for you and that our world-class speakers will walk you through?

Here are the first 4:

1. Gain empowering clarity on your particular business building style and the essential facets that go into being a coaching entrepreneur to avoid overwhelm and create clarity (all the stuff you might have overlooked when you started your coach training, but are now learning about the hard way).

2. Learn how you can translate your unique talents, passion and expertise into your specialty, a viable niche and learn to think like your ideal client. You have natural and accumulated gifts that people need. Time to start connecting the dots and attract the kind of clients you want and need.

3. Discover how you can design a marketing strategy that efficiently and authentically helps you communicate the real value you bring to your ideal client. Stop talking about the miracle of coaching and start speaking directly to how your services are the best solution to your ideal client’s biggest unmet needs and their highest aspirations.

4. Begin to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset and identify what success really means to you on both a deep and practical level. Successful and purpose-driven entrepreneurs seem to adhere to a certain mindset that is guided by quite specific principles and practices. We uncovered them for you.

OK.
But what about the other 6 principles?
Well….., just to show you we did our homework ; )

5. Map out a business model that leaves no stone unturned and allows you to experience clarity how all the elements of your business are connected and can be enhanced. We found the most innovative, easy and fun way to do it ; )

6. Use the Social Web to establish a relationship and engage your niche and network. Avoid social media overwhelm and spark conversations that matter to you and your ideal clients.

7. Identify the inevitable internal resistance that will come up along your entrepreneurial path and learn to move forward in its presence. Take the energy out of self-sabotaging mind chatter.

8. Uncover your core story when it comes to money and wealth in order to be free from your contractions around money and wealth. Tune into your heartfelt financial goals, instead of being controlled by the endless stream of your Wanting Mind’s endless desires.

9. Establish a workflow and energy management system that works for you, and allows you to be fully engaged professionally and personally. Learn how to tune into a more sane and natural rhythm of fully spending and replenishing your energy.

10. Tune into how your coaching fits in with the bigger picture and what you want to be a vehicle for. Learn how your coaching practice is embedded in a world unfolding and how tuning into a more global perspective opens up new possibilities, energy and passion!

Don’t wait any longer….. fuel that inner fire!
