What if Getting More Clients was Not An Issue
Imagine…
What would be like to be coaching dozens of clients who value your services so highly that they work with you for a year or more? Because they continually refer their colleagues, you have this stream of pre-qualified prospects contacting you every week. You raise your fees significantly and you still have a wait list! So you put together groups so you could serve more people at one time. And, you carved out a block of time to work on that book you want to write. You’re scheduled to take a two week vacation to Hawaii at the end of this month…
Not only do I know coaches who are this successful, I am blessed to be one of them. Do we still have problems? Sure, but it’s never about getting more clients. How do you get beyond the constant issue of getting more coaching clients?
It comes down to these five keys:
5. Highly value your time.
4. Act as if your coaching business is successful already in every choice you make.
3. Deliver valuable services and products.
2. Have several support systems to keep resourced and learning.
1. Market to one very specific niche market.
This last one is really the first key. Once you choose a niche market and click on the certainty button, you’ll not only feel better but you will also attract the best clients for you. Get ready to make marketing a whole lot easier!
Figuring out your best niche market sometimes requires expert help. It did for me. And most coaches have some pretty big resistance to narrowing their niche. But getting past that resistance is one of the most important breakthroughs needed to help you be a successful coach. I’m not just talking about a six-figure income kind of success. I’m talking about making a difference, supporting others to more prosperity, which starts within yourself.
My personal definition of success is coming out of any challenge as a better person than I was before. I wouldn’t find that success without the support of others.

Re: Who Did You Learn Most From and Why?
- Hi Martin,
You missed out on the most essential community that helps you grow - Your Clients. Well, I believe that my Initial Clients have been the ones who have given me the moments of 'aha' in my business. They have stood by me even when I was a starter and that has helped me shape and build my stand. They have helped me grow as an entrepreneur, learn to have loads of patience and make the most of what comes across. They have also helped me to strengthen me as a person.
btw, personally speaking, my Grandfather always kept me on track and lent me emotional support when I was down in any matter - be it business or otherwise.

Re: Email Etiquette
- [quote="jvprosperity":24jznj58]
The P.S. suggestion is good but it depends on the type of communication (e.g. Autoresponder series verses one off emails to Clients or Prospects)[/quote:24jznj58]
Andy,
You are right. I was mainly referring to Auto Responder emails. To end a normal email, I attach signatures.
