So do you suggest picking a particular area of coaching, eg, sport, dietician, career, business etc. rather than a general life coach. Would that not lessen your opportunities of clientele. I can see the pro’s like if you’ve already got qualifications or a huge interest in one area, but then you only specialise in one area.
@Armando Jose Marcano Marcano man, this sounds like a parody for scam courses. What do you have to say about that?
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to learn about coaching yourself try Magic Progress Shortcut ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.
Master Coach University great, thanks for the reply
Unless you’re already a trained niche marketer, I would start GENERAL… even if you think you know the niche you’ll be a good fit for.
That keeps your opportunities open, and allows you to explore all the different ways you can add value as a coach.
Later on, you’ll see patterns of who types of clients, solutions, problems, and goals that you do well coaching, as well as the economics of each “niche”… after a while, your niche WILL CHOOSE YOU. More about this HERE:

It is truly a blessing being a life coach, I started as a person trainer actually. Being a trainer I realized how a lot of people’s issues start with their mindset. So I studied psychology and focus on mindset. You change that and you change a person’s life?
I’m a work coach now for almost 2 years, been in care field for over 4 years. What are my first steps?
Run as many coaching sessions as you can. Also it’s good to get training and a coach yourself as well. http://coachestrainingblog.com has free training and this is our coach community to connect with: https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeapaidlifecoachonline/
Coaching requires some special traits and if there is any form of teaching/training background combined with substantial life experience and some entrepreneurship that be ideal. Without those you cannot be efficient enough and formal courses (costly) and certs might be useful for some with no experience. A certification does not prove you to be a proper coach nor gets you any more business! (12 yrs teaching + 9yrs coaching background)
Good way to Begin !! Thank you…looking forward to a wonderful learning experience…

E Myth Book By Michael Gerber? I’ve never heard of this book before but it one of the top results besides the tiles that say “revisited” or “beyond” lol

I don’t know how to say niche either.
Cami Dalton it’s ‘neesh’ that’s how it sounds I mean lol!
Coaching businesses are on the rise? Is there a difference between a coach and a consultant?
Technically, yes, but not from a business perspective. Coaches ask questions and facilitate inquiries while consultants provide information and facilitate knowledge implementation.
I want to be trainer or life coach. Right now I am working as a life insurance consultant. Can I make it my niche?
Go for it, Mahmood.
I’m mentoring a coach right now that works with life insurance agents and successful trainers in the insurance industry. There are lots of potential clients in that niche.
Homesteading coach?
I like the sound of that, especially as someone trying to save to build my own homestead in future
sounds like a great start

This probably comes up a lot, but I feel my specialty is general life coaching.
@Virtual Chapter yes proper word usage does increase credibility
I think you mean “except” … right?
that’s fine, accept in the marketing process, where it weakens your credibility and/or response.
