This week I want to lift the veil and tell you what no one will tell you about the coaching industry
My goal? To educate you, so that you know exactly what to look for and who to trust.
This is the inside scoop that only the people who know, know. But I think it’s only right that you know too!
Most people never finish online coaching programmes
The first thing is that many people never finish the online programmes and digital courses that they buy.
For example, did you know that only 15% of people finish online coaching courses? Even marketing guru, Seth Godin, stated recently that most online courses have a 97% drop-off rate and that his own courses on Udemy and Skillshare have an 80% drop-off rate!
Courses are often used as a well-meaning procrastination method for business owners, instead of knuckling down and doing the work, and people also lose motivation halfway through, which is totally understandable.
There’s little to no accountability from a real live person and it’s easy to let things slip. It’s so important to choose a coaching programme where you have real live contact with your coach, to keep you inspired throughout, and who can keep you on the straight and narrow if you need help – if you think there’s a chance you won’t be able to stay the course by yourself.
$10,000 months – really? Oh, there’s a disclaimer…
The second thing is these claims of $10,000 dollar months. I’m not saying it’s not possible. It clearly is for some people, but if you look at the bottom of these kinds of websites, you’ll usually see a “results not typical” disclaimer. However, people still get sucked in by these programmes because of the promises that these coaches make.
This is all very well, but you’ve got to have the mindset and the systems to be able to cope with having $10,000 months as well as put the work in, in the first place!
There is no one “right way”
The third thing is that each person will tell you that THEIR WAY is the ONLY way and no one is doing it any other way any more.
You’ll hear that organic marketing is dead, FB ads is the only way to get eyes on your stuff. Then, Facebook ads are a waste of money – Pinterest is where it’s at! You’ll be told to get off social media and go and meet people in person! And, “the money is in the list!” and then “you don’t need a list!”
The truth is that there is more than one way to be successful. There is no magic bullet, no one person that can tell you everything that you need to know. You’ll likely need support from a variety of people, and the best business owners know that, and regularly invest in the parts of themselves and their business that need help.
As an example, I’ve done my own coach training, I’ve got a coach helping me with my messaging, another with marketing, and I had a coach when I first started my own coaching business to get me off on the right footing.
So what does this tell us?
But what does all this insider information tell us? Well, it means that having a successful business is a lot more complicated than most people will make it out to be. It’s actually really hard to navigate all that by yourself, and even if you do buy into a coaching programme, you need to choose the right one for you and you still need to do the work. There is no magic bullet.
If you like my style, here’s a way…
I’m not saying it’s impossible. People do build successful businesses by themselves, but the road is a lot longer than it has to be. That’s why I created my coaching programme. I know the pitfalls of trying to do everything by yourself – it’s virtually impossible!
I know all of the obstacles you’ll likely encounter on the way to having a successful business, which is why I’ve created my own one on one coaching programme, which means you’ll never get left behind and you’ll have my unending support if ever you feel discouraged.
It’s for women in business who are fed up of doing it all by themselves. Women who know they need to stop wasting time, and start getting help to play the bigger game and do the things that scare them, otherwise, they’re never going to have a successful business they can be really proud of, that lets them do more of what they love.
If you’re an ambitious woman in business who dreams of knowing how to create amazing clients without second-guessing every decision you make…
Or you’re ready to make massive steps forward in your business but are still stuck in “planning and ideas mode”…
Or if you want to know exactly what you need to do every day so you feel like you achieve something, instead of wasting half the week on Facebook…
If you want to stop being afraid of doing the things that scare you – so you can dive into the bigger (and ultimately more fun) business projects without fear and make more progress than ever before…
And if you want to be able to create clients and customers on demand, understand how to approach, nurture and follow up with them so that you know exactly what to do to bring money in, and know without looking at your bank account that you can pay for more than just life’s necessities…
…we should talk, send me an email.
I do this because I never want to see another woman held back from doing what she wants in her life because she has a lack of confidence in her own amazing abilities. I choose this for myself and I can help you choose it for yourself too.
