Five Things Successful Coaches Do

MANY FACTORS GO INTO BEING A SUCCESSFUL COACH WITH A THRIVING BUSINESS, HERE ARE SOME HABITS THAT CAN HELP YOU WHEN YOU START YOUR COACHING BUSINESS

SUCCESSFUL COACHES KEEP THEMSELVES BUSY WITH WHAT CREATES MONEY AND IMPACT

When starting their business, successful coaches keep busy with the right activities. Busy feels good, because we don’t need to stop and think about our fears, or why the clients don’t call.  Being the “right kind” of busy is most important. Ask yourself – Does what I’m working on feel totally in line with my core business purpose/my message? How is what I am keeping busy with creating impact or money?

SUCCESSFUL COACHES DON’T FEEL GUILTY USING OTHER SKILLS IN ADDITION TO COACHING

We hear that all the time: “I have a new client, but they want me to also do some business consulting, I am not sure what to do”. Stop! And ask yourself what are you good at? Bring all your tools into the relationship with your clients. This is why your clients hired you! You have special skills and knowledge that they don’t have and need. When you teach a client how to write a resume or write their business plan there are always opportunities to coach – when the fear and lack of confidence holding your clients from moving forward – this is where your coaching skills will show up and give the impact your clients was looking for. Remember clients hire you to solve their problem!

SUCCESSFUL COACHES SLOW DOWN AND LOOK INSIDE

New coaches meet with their coaching friends to hear what they do, they check on every blog post and every video of other successful coaches and think it will help them figure out how to make their business work. Experienced and successful coaches know that the coach training didn’t end when they left the coaching school. They know that this is a life long journey and to be sure they are walking their path and creating the business they want they have learned who they are as a coach, their purpose and the value they give their clients. Slow down and look inside.

SUCCESSFUL COACHES ARE GENTLE WITH THEMSELVES

As being seen in the “inside out” movie, it is not a secret that we all have inner voices in our head. Some are very loud and limiting/suppressing and some are enabling and encouraging. While life happens and things can get messy, successful coaches avoid self-judgment and mean self-talk. Coaches who are good at staying on track make a conscious choice to continually talk to themselves about what is working and what is not working, and make decisions to change direction if needed.

SUCCESSFUL COACHES HAVE DEVELOPED A STRONG SUPPORT NETWORK

They know they can’t do it all alone. They have a strong support network they can depend upon to help them get through difficult times. They are givers, who typically extend themselves to help out in their communities. Many of them join mastermind groups or have mentors/coaches to keep supporting them on their path.
