The biggest questio
I hear from life coaches as they build their practice is where do I find clients? The question comes up over and over again. Learning how to attract clients was certainly the biggest question on my mind when I started out as a life coach too. The more I built my practice, though, I realized there was a deeper answer to that question.
I have found it to be true almost 100% of the time that the answer to that question has nothing to do with not knowing WHERE to find clients. I have found every time that every life coach who asks this question already knows where to find clients. Even you. Right now. In fact, you probably already know many people right now that are already in your circle of influence who you could coach.
Again, let me repeat that the question of finding clients does NOT stem from not knowing. The reason why life coaches ask this question again and again is because they subtly believe that no one will pay for their services. You fear people won’t pay money. You have difficulty in charging for your services.
So if you fear people won’t pay for your life coaching services, then where do you find clients? The answer is NOWHERE. There are no clients out there who will pay for your services if you don’t think they would pay for your services.
But if you KNEW that people would pay for your services and that they found it valuable, where would you find clients? As you receive this question, you might begin to realize that clients are everywhere. Clients are right in front of you. Clients are amongst the people you interact with every day. They are amongst the people who you already know and who you already influence. Clients are everywhere.
If you are asking the questions of where to find clients, the answer is to learn to be comfortable with charging for your services and to know that your services are valuable and merit a monetary return. If you doubt that people will pay you, I guarantee you they won’t.
You don’t have to work on finding clients so much as learning to claim your own value as a life coach and as a human being. And you claim it by claiming what you’re worth and charging money comfortably for your services. That is truly how you find clients.

***What Exactly Is Coaching?
If you haven't already asked yourself this question, it's important that you do so before you consider becoming a professional coach. There are many misconceptions out there, and understanding what coaching is not can be just as important as knowing what coaching actually is. What Coaching is NOTr Coaching often suffers from a case of mistaken identity; sometimes being confused with consulting, mentoring, or therapy. But, it's none of those - though coaching incorporates aspects of each of those modalities.

***Making a Difference While Making a Living
Many people don't believe in the adage, "Do what you love and the money will follow," and, consequently, they spend years in unfulfilling jobs. They know, deep inside, that there is more to life (and to work) than what they’re currently doing, but they don’t believe that they can actually make a living doing something they REALLY love to do.

***A Lesson in 'Simplicity'
There are a lot of things in life that are truly complicated and challenging to solve – a long-term solution for peace in the Middle East, calculus, mapping the human genome, or deciphering if my wife is really ‘fine’ or if I’m actually in trouble. On the other hand, there are things that seem more difficult than they are – breaking bad habits, living healthier, being happy, the proper usage of “there” “their” and “they’re.”
