Want to be A Life Coach? What are you Waiting For?

You have studied Movies of the Mind with me.
Now, you want to be a coach.
What do I suggest the rest of 2007 should be like for you?
Enough graduates have asked me that question that I feel compelled to provide you a checklist.
So while I work on my quest to attract the right elements in the universe for me to take Movies of the Mind to the greatest number of minds possible, you can be working on these goals plus your own to make 2007 a year that propels you coaching career and changes your life while you help change the lives of others.

You’re a Coach. So coach!
What are you waiting for? The hardest thing for new coaches to do is get started. There are clients all around you. You have already studied with me. You have the right to use my 26 lessons as an ice breaking tool for letting others know that you are a personal life coach. So what are you waiting for? There is no time like the precious present. Get started spreading the message about your talent and expertise. Once you begin working with others, you will find your niche and connect with those talents that first attracted you to me. Your future clients wish to benefit from that talent. But they can’t find you until you start sharing your message with the rest of the world.
Attracting Clients
Marketing your practice must become your life’s work. What I tell you today about marketing will only get you started. It’s up to you to let this momentum take you to the next stop on your personal coaching journey.
I have the following suggestions to jumpstart your practice.
Print business cards.
How can anyone know you are a personal life coach unless you begin sharing the message with everyone you meet?
On your business card, the particulars of your name, cell phone and email address are obvious.
Make sure you include a specialty.

Let others know where your greatest talent is in coaching others. Distribute your cards freely.
Advertise in free classifieds on the Internet and in weekly alternative (reasonably priced) newspapers in your town.
Get the message out!
Speak about your coaching at groups, libraries, etc.
Let anyone and everyone know you are a coach.
It’s no longer a secret.
Once you begin to seek attracting students, they will begin to be attracted to you.
Fees
Give away your talent at first and then build a fee into continued and new coaching.


Mentors
You are fortunate to have one.
Me.
Email me as you build that coaching practice with questions which will help you grow your individual life coaching practice
Books
Read everything you can get your hand on about the subject of visualization, mental imagery and life coaching. Scour the Internet.
Any good visualization booklist begins with Maxwell Maltz, Adelaide Bry, Shakti Gawain, Claude Bristol and those are only four great writers among the thousands I have read in the last 10 years.
This isn’t a sprint.
It’s the rest of your life
Your Movie
Continue filming your movie one scene at a time, each day.
You will attract whatever you need as long as you remain faithful to your moviemaking techniques.
And whenever the coaching business brings with it a question which your movie can’t seem to solve, it’s time to write your mentor, the most tenacious emailer you have ever known.
You can make it happen.
First, see it all in your movie.
