So you want to start a life coaching business from home right? That sounds
kind of hard. Well, it may not be as difficult as you think. I'm going to walk
you through the steps A to Z so stay tuned.
Okay, life coaching business from home okay and I got to say before I say
anything else, this is not for everybody. This takes work. It takes dedication and
it takes a certain kind of personality to be able to maintain the longevity
that life coaching requires. It also takes actual results. Anyone or their mom
could be a technical life coach because it is an open forum essentially. It's an
open community. You don't have to have any collegiate piece of paper or
documentation to call yourself a life coach. That being said, you need to have
results or you're just going to dilute the community, okay?
So first and foremost, so if you're thinking about starting a life coaching
business from home - results. You have got to have results in your life first and
foremost and in the lives of your clients. Results, results, results. Biggest
key there. Before you even go there, you've got to decide what am I going to
be a life coach in. You can be a life coach in anything and then again, this
whole idea that life coaching is so unstructured, it's so unregulated, it's
both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing for people trying to get into
the life coaching business because they have the freedom to do basically
whatever they want and it can be a curse too because there are a lot of people
that are not legitimate. There are a lot of people that I'm just going to say it, are
fraudulent out there. That aren't legitimate life coaches that don't have
the skill set that just want to make money and are making things up as they
go along. Don't pay that guy. go go into this with results and a skill set. So
determine what your skill set is. Maybe you want to be a photography coach, maybe
you want to be a health coach, maybe you want to be a mindset training coach,
maybe you want to be a business coach, maybe you want to be a financial coach.
Determine what your skill set is, where you've had success in your life and
determine a curriculum that you can walk people through the same repeatable
process that you've done. Repeatable is the key word in that phrase. After you've
decided your your skill set and you've gotten really confident that, you need to
start gathering results. But how do you start gathering results before you've
launched your business? It's this tool called Pro Bono. Essentially means free.
So when you're just starting your life in business, you need to start generating
results and testimonials. Which means you're going to now start needing beta
groups and testing groups and Pro Bono clients. So these clients are going to
come in with your design curriculum. You're going to offer it to them for
free or for very little so that you can gather results. Which means if you're
doing this, you have to have your curriculum fully spelled out A to Z in
order for you to sell that curriculum then after you've had your Pro Bono
client work done. So build your curriculum, get some plans, get some beta
testers and they'll let them know they're part of a beta testing program.
That's why they're getting this great discount in exchange for results. Those
results and those testimonials are then what's going to drive the price of your
program once it gets released in full public. When you're starting your life
coaching business, I want you to have your bases covered. You got lots of
videos that I produce for you on contracts. Please use and enforce
contracts especially if you're working with family and friends as your pro bono
clients. They may be superfluous, they may feel like they're over the top but get
them in place. You're going to have to cover your everything with those contracts
okay? So, those contracts need to be in place. Also, set up what's called a
limited liability corporation or an LLC. It's not a very expensive to do. You can
do it from anywhere. You can just do it online. You can do an LLC, in some cases
you can get away with doing a DBA which is a doing business as but I would
recommend setting up an independent business as an LLC before you start
bringing clients through your client mill okay? Set up LLC. It just covers
you in case of emergency, in case of lawsuit, any kinds of weird, crazy, things
that can happen. Set that up so that you and your clients are protected, okay? So
let me just break this down for you again. Determine your skill set,
gather your curriculum, get your Pro Bono clients through there and then use those
testimonials after you gather them to build your foundation for your fully
paid clients. There's all sorts of websites, business cards, all of that will
come into play later but you've got your basic breakdown,
first things first, get your skill set on the table and let people know about it.
