A life coach is an adviser and mentor. "Law of attraction" is one of many subspecialties of life coaching; other specialties include business, health, mid-life and relationship coaching. In this diverse profession, the coach has the opportunity to create his business exactly as he wishes. The law of attraction coach may see clients in person, take appointments by phone, write books and present workshops. The coach teaches his clients how to use the law of attraction to discover their own strengths to meet their goals.
Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
1)Define your business. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, "A written guide to starting and running your business successfully is essential." The SBA says that your business plan can provide a map to follow as the business grows and help to attract investors. A business plan helps provide a clear understanding to you and others of exactly what your business is about. The Small Business Administration has resources to assist start-up businesses, including a free business plan online training course. Finding a niche is advised for small businesses. Find a group whose needs you are particularly suited to meet. For example, if you have worked as a nurse for a period of time, you know that nurses have common problems related to their profession. Solve the problem using the law of attraction. Find your niche.
2)Market your business and deliver the product. Do market research (or hire someone to do it for you) to find the people most interested in your particular coaching skills and get in front of 100 of them a month. This may include free law-of-attraction workshops to promote your coaching. Some coaches sell products at these free workshops, like books they have written or audio programs. Making a website is important since customers look for information online. Detailed information that does not fit on your business card can go on a website. Some coaches--like the most famous, Tony Robbins--attract clients by offering free gifts on their websites, like a quiz or a discount on products.
3)Grow your business. Coach training and continuing education are available for life coaches. The International Coach Federation offers advice on accredited coach training programs as well as continuing education for its members. Not all life coaches have formal training. Some are persistent businesspeople with excellent coaching and marketing skills. They pursue informal education and keep current on issues pertinent to their coaching practice. Others need a place to start and attend training. Life coaching offers opportunities for a variety of specialties, modes of operation and environments in which to work. No one path to coaching suits all individuals.
