Sometimes the Fastest Way to Increase Your Income is to Make a Change

There are a LOT of uncomfortable coaches.

By uncomfortable I’m referring to a coach who is not generating the amount of income he or she desires, not only that I hear or read coaches saying that they are not even making enough to remain full time in the pursuit of their dream of a coaching career.

I’m not trying to make you feel uncomfortable, so please don’t be offended. I’m just saying what I’ve been “hearing” in social networking circles. There is an internationally published economic challenge taking place – what some are calling the worst global recession in a very long time.

If you read my post earlier today – the book review of Upbeat: Cultivating The Right Attitude to Thrive in Tough Times, Rajesh Setty, the author, talks about being in a time where there are people in need all around us. Most of us would agree that one of the basics of business is to “find a need and fill it”.

So, why is  it that when there are so many people with a need for a coach, and there are plenty of coaches to be found – yet the match of coach and client is not being made. There are still coaches with few to no clients.

I have some thoughts I would like to share with you on this based on my own personal experience. You may have heard or read my story where after selling my promotional products company I became a LifeSuccess Coach and quickly built 8 groups of 10 people, only to have a change in the organization whose people I was coaching with and lost all the clients overnight. I didn’t have a “plan b”.

Was I scared?

You betcha.

I was in some serious mental and emotional pain! Out of this pain came change; from the change came many amazing results that still keep coming.

Since then I have had most amazing turn around. Most recently results have begun to seemingly rush at me like I am being “over-taken by blessing…no, make that extreme blessing.”

I’ve been pondering what I think has happened. I like to analyze things that happen right because I want to know how to make more right things happen. I came across something that someone else used as a formula for success in a similar situation. when I read it I thought, “That’s it! That is what I did, and I didn’t even realize what I had done!”

I will share more with you about this in another post, but what I’d really like -  is to hear from you, about where you’re at – whereever that is, in this whole process of building your coaching business. Leave me a comment. Share, invite other coaches.
