8 Things that can lead you to start a Coaching Business

Business coaching is a fairly professional that has started to establish itself in the business sector. I was reading one day and found the origins of course come from the sporting arena where coaches helped athletes achieve their goals.

One thing to know,Coaching is a slightly different concept to consulting. But in a nutshell,consulting implies that you identify a problem that a client has and you propose a solution. Coaching is more than making things easy that the client can self-help.

These are things I did when I started my coaching career and you can also apply if you’re serious on doing coaching business.

1. Know the problem you what to solve
2. Go to that group of people or organization and see what they are doing, look at their strategic plan to give you a good start.
3. Look at market around you and position yourself that I am a specific journalist business coach, small business coach or specific business coach concentrate in IT industries,Manufacturing,Hospitality,Accounting industries and so many.
4. Set a coaching methodology that will allow your clients to see where are they now? Where are they headed and what do they need to do to get there.
5. Introduce useful reports like a score card report, KPIs and others to make easily follow-up with your client and take your client to the next level.
6. Categories your coaching style if it’s one on one coaching, group coaching or coaching over the phone and through email all is up to you.
7. Walks your talk-Always clients will like to take you as a mentor and Coach so try be a good example.
8. Refresh yourself by attending coaching programs to improve your level of understanding about the whole process, and give you new ideas on how to improve customer’s satisfaction.

I will help you to achieve your goal of starting coaching business if you allow me to coach you. I can’t wait to hear from you.

Exclusive: Interview with Results - Hi Forum Members, I'm helping start up a Business Coaching and Consulting company here in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (a Subsidiary of RSC Business in Los Angeles). As a Research and Development Intern I am required to practice my listening and interview skills by surveying Small and Medium Businesses on thier Business. This Survey is designed by RSC Business to also assist the Business being interviewed more insight into their own business. I am looking to interview about 30 businesses across North America over the span of 3 months. At the end of these interviews I will be publishing a report of the results and they will be made available for free to the Interviewees. The Report data will include responses from a minimum of 100 interviews. I would like to extend this opportunity to members of the Forum. If you would like to have this short 20-30 minute interview conducted on your Business and you reside in North America please send me an email or PM. Please contact me at andy[at]jvprosperity[dot]com to arrange our interview and to get free access to the results when they are published.
My entry - 1. The Best Business Books Ever: The 100 Most Influential Business Books You'll Never Have Time to Read - this is a fascinating book about the history of Business theory, and I'd recommend it to anybody. 2. The Big Book of Small Business: You Don't Have to Run Your Business by the Seat of Your Pants, by Tom Gegax. Ditto. 3. PADI: The Business of Diving Book Okay, so this book won't be of use to anyone who doesn't want to start a scuba store, but I did, and this book was of course invaluable to me in reaching that goal.
Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight - That is a great idea, David. This is what I had in mind for the Women's section, but it makes sense to post in on the main site. Of course, I'm waiting for some women to step up to the plate and share how they could use some support on taking the next step with their business! If you are a Business Woman reading this, I invite you to consider that this is not displaying weakness in any form. Peer mentoring and Coaching is incredibly valuable. You get to bounce your ideas off others, hear perspectives from outside your own box, and feel the power of others cheering you on. To me, it's wisdom to use all of our available resources to move towards business success. That's why I have my own Coach and my own Mentor Coaching Group. I also offer that to my clients. These are services one usually has to pay for and you could enjoy some of it free right here! So who wants to start? Can you tell I'm excited about the possibilities for you even before you begin? Warmly, Tami
My Daily Routine - I'm usually up at 6:30, have a quick breakfast and get an early start to work. It's nice to have an hour or so before the phones start ringing. I'm maybe a little to addicted to my Outlook as I'm on it all day creating and responding to emails. Things tend to settle down in the afternoon and I get most of my tasks done in the morning so I can use that time to research, browse for ideas, and post on this forum! How about you Jen?
Business Coaching Internship Review - I joined in during the first phase of the internship and at this point we are committed to doing research and development of RSC Business Group operating in Toronto. RSC Business Group already has products and services in Coaching Small businesses in Los Angeles but we didn't want to assume that the same products were wanted and needed in the Toronto market. Our goal at this point is to commit to interviewing 1000 business owners to capture this data. Through the teleconference internship I've been involved in we've been focusing on Communication Skills and on active listening which are practiced when we conduct our interviews and Coach our clients when they come on board. This is a lot harder than it sounds! Part of the internship is also creating the Toronto RSC Business Group's departments, job descriptions, Marketing and Communication plans etc that a business owner would create for their own company. This trains us in the way we would coach a company as well. The internship is phased in two parts and there is compensation plan involved as well for the clients you personally bring in. These clients are coached directly by Robert Chun as you begin but you are given a chance to learn his techniques. I haven't gone through this experience yet though. It's hard to explain Robert Chun's method of Coaching as it happens at a psychological level in his ability to listen and question the person being coached into the next steps they need to take. The Teleconferences are 2 hours long but it's very interactive. If you have a desire to explore this area of Business I'd recommend contacting Vwodek listed above and get invited to a Coaching Conference call. You can decided then if it's for you. Note: it is a commitment but the skills you walk away with whether you plan on working with RSC Business Group or not is invaluable.
