Simple is better. Less is more. That wisdom has helped me have a better life in every way.

And, it’s how you can earn more while getting more done in less time in your coaching business.

I used to be hopelessly disorganized, but now I’m the most organized person I know.

What changed? I got curious.

Whoever you want to be or whatever you want to do, you can get there with curiosity.

Want to be more organized? Good at planning? Be financially successful?

First, STOP telling yourself that you’re not good at that.

And, raise curiosity. It quiets the amygdala — the part of your brain associated with fear. Dopamine, the reward chemical, floods your body and you feel GOOD!

Then, attention and creativity help you move past your old story to a new way of being.

Learn these 3 simple hacks so you can earn more while working less!

I'd love to hear from you. Stay inspired and make things happen! - Rhonda Hess, Prosperous Coach

New coaches reach out to me every week and they almost always have the same set of struggles to get traction in their coaching business.

Do you recognize yourself in any of these?

• Your head endlessly spins around niche ideas.
• When you talk about coaching people get bored.
• People you know aren’t referring clients to you.
• You work hard on social posts but nothing happens.
• You get lots of advice that leaves you confused and overwhelmed.
• Coaching prospects can’t justify your fees and Discovery Calls fall flat.
• You’ve invested so much already you wonder if you’ll every repay yourself.

Please know this … you are in good company. You’ve learned the coaching side of your coaching business but not the business side yet. And, there’s no reason that you should know how to do this right by yourself.

All of these challenges and their solutions are related to similar root causes.

Listen for the pattern and see if the puzzle pieces start fitting together for you.

You are out there every day taking actions to attract coaching clients so you can earn a good living and help them transform.

But is your content helping you or hurting you?

A big part of what I teach coaches is how to craft compelling messages. I help coaches speak to the hearts of their audiences.

A coach who had been out there a few years but just barely getting by asked me to review all her recent content — from podcast episodes, social posts and even her live presentations — to see if she was on the right track.

When you don’t have enough clients, it’s wise to look dispassionately at everything you’re doing.

First, I was super impressed by her discipline. She was reliably and rhythmically taking the right actions – daily social posting, publishing a podcast episode every week, and getting in front of her audience with presentations.

Technically, she had all the processes down. But her content left me cold.

Let’s talk about the critical ingredient of crafting content that engages your audience that many coaches miss.

It’s time to PLUG IN!

What does it really take to make it as a coach and earn a good living from your own business?

My business, in all it’s various forms over the years, has been the territory of my greatest personal transformation.

I call it a spiritual journey because I’ve had to raise the courage to stay in it and ride all the waves. That kind of personal evolution is so rewarding.

To really go for it as a professional coach and create a business that makes your heart sing, the invitation is to …

Stay the course.

Keep the faith.

Believe in yourself.

… even through the down times when you're not yet meeting your goals.

Examining my journey and those of coaches I mentor, I know that sustainable coaching business success comes down to:

· 4 powerful mindset shifts anyone can make, and

· 3 strategic actions anyone can take

Wherever you are on this journey, you’re in the right place to move forward. It’s about mining your potential.

Nail Your Niche session with Rhonda

Inspiring your audience to enroll in private coaching isn’t at all like selling a gadget, clothing or makeup on Instagram.

Because coaching is intimate, pricey and hopefully long-term, your prospects need to TRUST YOU before they hire you.

Nurturing future ideal coaching clients is the #1 goal of all messaging, whether in podcast episodes, social posts or emails.

Emails are a strategic part of generosity marketing, which is about creating content that relates, entertains, educates and inspires your most ideal prospects to follow you and then some, to hire you.

But no single message is a one-hit-wonder. The trust building process is coordinated and meant to take time.

You will benefit from a slower sales arc because it attracts clients who are pre-sold to work with YOU, will commit to the process and won’t regret the investment.

Here's a teaser of what's in store in this teaching episode with ACC Mentor Coach, Laurie Cameron — the best coach I've ever experienced!

What do you think, Laurie, is a single word that describes the best coaching sessions with clients?

Laurie Cameron:

I think FOCUSED is a good word — because you know … there's purpose, there's meaning, there's safety — all of that. And yet, if I were to pick one, it would be focused — not just focused on what the client wants to take away, but really focused on the client. Fully focused on the client for the entire session because coaching is client-driven.

Rhonda Hess:

It also means that it has an aim.

Do you ever have performance anxiety during coaching sessions?

If you’re a new coach, that’s totally normal. With mindfulness and experience that feeling diminishes.

In my early days, I was so anxious about delivering value that I over-delivered. I felt drained instead of energized by sessions.

That’s a red flag indicating something is off and needs attention.

It took me a while to realize that being in a performative state — trying so hard to coach well — my clients weren’t relaxing into coaching and getting enough value.

It’s a circular problem. To be themselves and access their truth in sessions, coaching clients need to feel safe in your presence.

Cultivating an atmosphere of safety begins well BEFORE they hire you. It’s in your messaging and marketing. It’s on your website and in your social posts.

It’s about connection not performance.

Let’s talk about ways to cultivate trust from day 1 in your coaching business.

Episode #292 about creating a Signature Program is also mentioned.

A coach I’m mentoring just doubled her prices ...

and quickly enrolled a new client at that new price.

Did she have to push and convince that new client to hire her? No.

She only needed to decide that from now on her services are worth more and stand behind her pricing.

It does take courage. But it’s a decision, that once you make it, you’ll never look back. And, you can increase your prices again.

She used to have to invest twice as much energy to earn that new price.

Before, she would have needed to find, enroll and work with 50 clients each year to meet her financial goals. Now she only needs to find, enroll and work with 25 clients for the same income.

Imagine what that means to her life.

This happens all the time. A coach decides to value their time highly and suddenly so do their clients.

This isn’t about gouging clients. It’s about having a sustainable coaching business without spreading yourself too thin.
