Subject: Discover The Secrets To Starting A Successful Coaching Business
Dear Coach,
Congratulations on your decision to begin coaching. It is an exciting, rewarding field that is growing and changing all the
time. Please don’t make the mistake that many beginning coaches make and forget that you are now an
entrepreneur. In fact, lack of understanding of business ideas and principles is the biggest reason new coaches struggle or
fail.
In reality, the majority of new coaches do not know how to start a business, how to run it, market it, develop products and plan
for continued growth. In short, they do not know how to succeed as entrepreneurs; many new coaches never accomplish owning a
profitable business.
Does this describe you?
 |
You are excited about coaching but haven’t
found more than a few clients to work with. |
|
You are worried about how clients might find
you among the many other people who are coaches. |
|
Business seems frightening or intimidating
or terribly dull. |
|
You lack confidence in making decisions
about how to best get started and don’t know how to grow a business. |
|
You don’t have business
expertise. |
|
You have spent money on coach training but
don’t have enough paying coaching clients to go further.
|
If you see yourself in any of these statements, then you have found the way to your solution. This is the answer for
learning what you need to know to build a successful coaching business, to think like an entrepreneur and to be one of the coaches who
makes money from work that you love.
"Announcing Mind Your Own Biz - the resource that reveals the Secrets to Creating a Successful Coaching
Business...
You don’t have to flounder trying to find ways to develop your coaching business - doing what seems like
the best thing and being frustrated when nothing happens. Learn the information that will help you make sound decisions and start to
create a true business.
Mind Your Own Biz teaches you exactly what you need to build the foundation of a thriving coaching
business. The book takes you through the steps and provides all the information you need to go from nothing to
flourishing.
I have been a coach for five years now and I really struggled the first two years despite having some background in the business
world. I learned by trial and error, by studying and asking questions and by being willing to work hard when I didn’t see
results...
Building my business was a long, hard process. In the past few years, I have worked with dozens of beginning coaches
to help them begin their own businesses. This resource shares with you all that I have learned along the way...
What I want for you is for you to build your business quicker, smarter and easier than I did. This means:
 Have increased confidence in what you are doing...
Discover who you are as an entrepreneur...
Have tools for planning, organizing and developing business systems...
Understand the potential issues that could affect your business...
Have resources and a reference for those difficult business decisions...

I have learned a great deal from my years of study including:
 |
Clients are attracted to coaches who are clear
about how they can help clients and what results can be achieved through coaching. The exercises in Chapter 1 will
guide you on how to do exactly that. |
|
All the marketing experts now agree that coaches
who succeed are the ones who have narrowed their focus to a specialty or niche. Complete the activities in Chapter 1
to discover your business direction. |
|
My reading and research has pinpointed certain
personal qualities that greatly increase business success. Learn about this in Chapter 2. |
|
Taking the time to develop a business
plan can make the difference between thriving and just getting by. Learn about the types of business plans and how to build
one in Chapter 3. |
|
Behind the scenes management
systems can be the key to keeping the business running. Decisions on handling money, information, time and equipment do not
have to be overwhelming. Chapter 4 covers these areas and more in detail. |
I have put all that I know about business development into one compact resource. Don’t keep waiting for your business to grow
without having an idea of how to make it happen. You can start thinking like an entrepreneur, coach and help more people,
and begin to have the business that you want by following the steps outlined in Mind Your Own Biz!
 |
What I love about Mind Your Own Biz is that it is wonderfully concise. Everything that you need to know about
starting a coaching business is here in one place. It’s an incredibly valuable book. The best part of it is the structure that
gives detailed information and allows the novice coach the opportunity to fully absorb it and then asks salient questions for the
coach to answer about his/her own business. I recommend this resource for anyone who is interested in starting a coaching business
or is struggling to build their business. It is an extremely valuable tool. Don’t miss the chance to own this precious resource
that will answer all your questions on getting your business off the ground. |

Invest in Your Business
For many coaches, it is hard to remember to invest in the growth of your business regardless of where you are in the
growth process. Beginning coaches have to watch funds, but need to know when an expense can bring in more than its cost in
returns to the bottom line. This is true value.

Novice and even fairly experienced coaches would do well to read Janet Slack's book, Mind Your Own Biz. As a coaching teacher, I do a lot of mentor coaching of new coaches. I've read many books on business development, and from time to time I recommend them to people starting up a coaching practice. I also share the processes and information that Janet includes in her book, as necessary, with people that hire me as a mentor coach. Now, I will simply recommend her book and refer to it, as necessary, with my coachees.
What's great about Janet's book is that it includes the basics of what a new coach needs to know. It doesn't include more than that. It is both simple and comprehensive. It's an inexpensive purchase for a wealth of critical information.
For me, just learning about the professional liability insurance available for ICF members was worth the price of purchase. |

Mind Your Own Biz is a really useful tool for early-career coaches. Unlike other books that play on coaches' fears
and feature Top Fatal Mistake lists that can be paralyzing, Janet comes from a positive attitude of abundance and optimism. She
urges coaches to know themselves and explains how doing so is an important precursor to doing quality work. She also intersperses
her useful advice and encouragement with very practical knowledge about where to acquire and learn about needed resources.This
book can be a supportive companion for one's journey while building a coaching practice and embracing the mindset of a coaching
business. |
