Some of Our Latest Success Stories
JTS Advisors provides both a Strategy Coach and an Accountability Coach to produce results! The Strategy Coach provides guidance, so I am "doing the right things" to grow my business. The Accountability Coach makes sure I am "doing the things right." I started my own coaching practice from scratch just 8 weeks ago and today, I have more than 15 paid clients! I'm just getting started!
John Kurth
Prior to doing the JTS Advanced Coaches Training (Assessment Certification) I already had 16 years experience coaching clients on their personal development, sales/business, and relationships. This program took this to another level! It was so information packed and intense I was blown away. I feel this has been on of the best investments I have made on business development for my coaching practice--really setting me apart from the other coaches out there, and allowing me to help my clients at a much more profound level. Just half way through the program I already had 7 leads for speaking opportunities to present before sales teams and promote my coaching, and had generated over 125 client leads from people requesting follow up consultations and prospects referred by others. My coaching business has shot into high gear since completing the program. I am using the material and skills I learned in this program directly in my work, and in my life, now. I don't know how JTS manages it, coordinating all the nuts and bolts details of this extensive training, but the program was awesome. I recommend this program to others who want to accelerate the growth of their coaching business or for those who simply want to add coaching into their present business.

How much is the course?
Very well done, very thorough and a practical way to start building a clientele and making a difference in the lives of people that you are already comfortable with.
Thank you
I’m putting the finishing touches on the program right now. Stay tuned and I’ll email you details as they come.
Jeff
I am interested too. Email me details and costs when you can.
Thanks,
Rod
I enjoyed watching your video as well as your honesty about the work entailed in building a coaching practice. I am just exploring this as a career. Your video is probably applicable to many starting a new business. A friend has also been plugging attending a speaker’s bureau meeting to surround myself with people looking to market themselves and their ideas.
One thing I still don’t understand is this. What is coaching all about including variance with different customers. Do you have a video or could you recommend one that can enlighten me?
Jeff, Thank you very much. I had a good connection with you from start.
As I continue to watch your video, I felt your energy, honesty in your voice how you delivered your message. I think you are very credible and delivered your contents with confidence,knowledge and experience.
I don’t know if it had to do with my computer or you but sometimes your message was cutting in and out that I missed part of a sentence here and there. I have taken some notes which I think will be of great help to me.
What is the cost of your course?
Thank you once again.
This video is a very powerful guide Jeff. The content demonstrates a lot of honesty which make me have no doubt you are the best coach every newbie will ever have. When I came across the video, I was already halfway with my coaching training but there was one component I was still missing, Joint Venture. I’m glad i downloaded this video. It is a powerful tool. I can’t wait to see the next video: Multiple Stream of Coaching Income. Thank you very much.
Well, just FYI, accessing this on IE doesn’t work – your video doesn’t show up. Probably would if I jump over to Firefox but I don’t want to register a second time – too bad.
No video came up.
A great introduction to starting a coaching business! I look forward to reviewing the next one. Does your company offer a complete course on starting a coaching business? Please advise.
Thank you.
Great video!!
It addressed one of the big things I’m struggling with. Creditability, I know for sure this is what I want to do in life. But I feel I need a course or a type of certification to say “hey I have this so I know what I’m doing.” Plus I’m young and a bit blue collar. I listen to personal financial advise on a big named radio show everyday. So I have the knowledge to spreed. I just don’t have a system down yet.
Thanks for the video. very inspirational and informative.
Thanks so much. Your course looks very promising. I have found through all my years in network marketing the power of being coached. You need someone who is knowledgeable and who can keep you accountable.
I enjoyed the video. You gave a lot of great info. Did you start your coaching business while working full-time time? If so, how many hours were you able to put in to get it off the ground so that it became your full-time business?
Also, do you have any advice on handling potential conflicts of interest between my current (non-profit) job whose target market is similar to the one I want to serve as a financial/life coach.
FYI, I have not yet taking a coaching course, but I’m conducting research now. Any advice on what to look for in a coaching program? What to avoid?
Thanks, much.
I would be interested in learning more about the program, including cost. Thanks.
This web video went over and above my expectations. It really answered a lot of my questions about how I need to start a Life coaching business
Thanks
Really helpful! I actually planing a new career as coach!
Thank you! I will come back to you son!
The information and delivery of content was clear and very helpful. The step by step guide helps to alleviate some of the anxiety that comes along with the process of building a practice.
thanks for the talk . this is something i didnt know how to start . but how can i download this so that i can listen to it at the car
I like the reality check you do right at the start in terms of what it’s going to take to succeed, I’m creating a seminar for my weight loss coaching program to achieve a similiar result.
Thought the tips on quick start using the telephone, urgency to attend sessions and leveraging the way in which you attract clients was excellent. I will be checking out your main site.
Thanks again for some insightful and inspirational ideas.
Erak
I Enjoyed it thanks it help me
Ive just started a training course on being a christian lifecoach online. Ive recently graduated from intensive outpatient therapy program that changed my life in the form of obtaining rational thinking from cognitive behavior therapy. I see many correlations between therapy and spirituality and want to use the two to help others and MAYBE earn a p living doing this later. I think that alot of what you offer could be of great help to me establishing my vision.
what is the cost of the course?
I wish I would have found you in 2009 when I started. With this information my 2012 would be totally different. However, it never to late to reinvent my practice so I have taken notes, saw where I made a few mistakes and see how this information will absolutely set me on the right path to reaching my goals. I was looking for information on how to write a business plan for my coaching business and what I got was soooo much more. thanks for this.
I loved your video and learned a lot! I am looking forward to the next one! Thank you for helping others! It means so much. Have a wonderful day.
Great infomation on starting a coaching career. I am excited about incorporating this into my current errands and oraganizing business, reaching out to my current base to offer additional services.
Fantastic! Video was great and very inspiring. You didn’t sugar-coat the hard work and dedication and focus needed to set up the business and I found that refreshing. I felt like I was listening to a friend. I’m excited about taking your advice and getting started.

Hi Jeff, As you know I have been a part of the Quick Start Coaching and I have to say that it is the absolute best. Being a part of Master Coaching University is a dream come true. Putting what I learned into practice not only helps me be a great master coach but clients almost do fall out of the sky. After starting Quick Start Coaching my business sored. Thank you for this awesome program.
That was a very well thought out and informative video. Thank you!
Many thanks for that useful video. It was enlightening. Do you have details for the cost of the Program yet?
Jeff,
Thank you for the content in this video. It was very well done and informative. I am targeting coach weight loss coaches, beginning with those who use hypnosis for weight loss as that is where I come from. Is there a weight-loss coaches association that you know of? What is the best coaches Association?
Thank you for your honest and very informative video.
Awesome info. I am new at the coaching business, I am a national top seller in a large company… Training is just aweful, I learnt myself.. I see a big gap teaching the right training i’ve offered to help,,the company stated it would cost them more taking me away from selling,,, so they paid millions for an outside coaching company to come in….I’ve wanted to get in to this field for sometime coming from england,,, i have a lot to offer, coming across your video was very enlightening,, has made me speed ahead… sky is the limit,,, thankyou,, cant wait for the next session…
Very interesting and helpful.
Jeff- great info! I have been coaching for just over a year and the “feast and famine” is the hardest! Taking your advice and looking forward to the next video! Thanks so much!!!
This was a wonderful video. Full of lots information. I am thinkig about becoming a coach and I was wondering where do I start? This video gave me a lot of good ideas and some very helpful advice to how I can begin my coaching business. Thank you so much!
This was one of the most informative videos I have ever seen. All of the information was so pratical, specific, and useful. It has given me more confidence about launching my own coaching business. I’m so grateful that this knowledge was shared. I am committed to completing the assignments given. I have such a better awareness of what it takes to be successful as well as pitfalls to avoid which will lead to disaster. Thank you soooo much!!!!!
Great information, Jeff. You told it like it was, you gave a lot of information, and have given me a lot to think about, as well as a direction to go. I can see that my first step will be to think about, and create my strategy session.
Not sure if the question is ‘What is coaching?’, but, assuming it is, here are a few of our articles on the subject:

Just sent info to you on this. Any other questions, just let me know.

Just sent info to you on this. Any other questions, just let me know.
Jeff
Yes, we’re putting together a Platinum Package that will address everything from your coaching techniques and skills to your coaching business plan and client getting strategies.
Jeff
Yes, I started right away full time, but I went to work for a large coaching company. Most new coaches start part time and then ramp up as their client load increases.
I advise at least 10 hours per week to ensure that you’ll make measurable progress towards eventually being able to run the business full time.
Make sure you’re a benefit to your current job. I’d possibly bring it up to them and discuss to see if there’s a way you can line up common interests and eliminate any potential conflicts. If the politics make that impossible, then I’d lay low and plan your exit. ’tis a free country!
I cover this in many videos. My best (short form) advice is to join a course that includes lots of mentoring and accountability. You can learn great ‘information’ anywhere, but only get real HELP from a few committed people and organizations. Our Quickstart Program (Platinum Package) will fit this bill.
Jeff
Great to hear that, Sharon! Just the tip of the iceberg for you, and I look forward to continuing our partnership in your coaching vision.
Jeff
Just emailed you information on this.
Any other questions, just let me know.
Jeff
There aren’t any well-established weight loss coaching associations yet.
Perhaps YOU should create it?
weightlosscoachingassociation.com is available (go get it registered HERE right now… before I grab it!)
There are many associations of coaches. the widest known is ICF.
Jeff
Thank you for giving this information out for free. I found your video very helpful and informative. It contained information I needed but did not have and I am so looking forward to watching your other videos too.
thank you for giving this information. it is very helpful.
Great stuff for someone who is spanking brand new, like me! Wold like to learn more.
Jeff – enjoyed your video as it provided lots to think about. Your “strategy sessions” I loved. What a fantastic way to walk someone through possibly the significance of written goals and plans to achieve as a way of living life to its fullest. I will be looking forward to your QuickStart coaching information. Have a blessed week, Jeff.
Great stuff. Verry usefull. Would like to know more!
hell Jeff….from Lagos Nigeria. Am a soft skills trainer and practiced coaching with it. But recently I decided to divert into coaching proper and just been certified. But was searching for what name to use to catch people’s attention when I opened your website. I must say your delivery was honest direct and the willingness to share is quite refreshing. I got a lot of tips that was not covered. I will definitely keep in touch…who knows you might need me for a JOINT VENTURE COACHING…telephone coaching is no hinderance? yes? well am trying what you just taught! lol. Thank you for all.
Lots of good information. Interested in multiple streams of income too. How much does your training cost? What if you don’t have a big e-mail/contact list?
No video…sounds like it could have been informative. Using ipad…so…thx anyway
Thank you for the indepth information that I just listened to. Not only was it informative but it taught me alot about coaching. I am looking forward to doing the homework assignments and ultimately becoming a coach. Again thank you.
Good Morning I really like your style of teaching. I am a people person and really like working out at least 5 days a week. A friend and I are trying to get the coaching off the ground and you really gave me some good pointers on starting the business.Thanks for your help.
Iris
Yeah, this one is pure flash video, so you’ll need to view it on an actual computer. Most of our videos work on an IPAD using the skyfire browser (go here to get it: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skyfire-web-browser-for-ipad/id409153623?mt=8 )
Jeff
Great video and very helpful info..especially the 5 hours of phone calls..thanks.
Thanks for the info Jeffrey. Do you have any openings to be my coach? You have some real concise words here.
Steve
I found the video to be very helpful. It is full of practical tools that I can “see” myself applying to my coaching business! I am very excited to get started. Thank you!
Question: Do you have a video on how-to “Niche”? I have over 1500 client contact hours marked in 3 specialty areas (or so I thought, lol), but when I asked my test group what they thought of my service offerings (via linked in) most said it was too broad/non-specific. Having hard time utilizing that critic to help me better state/name my specialty and thus proper clientele and joint ventures.
This information was very helpful. It gave me ideas that I need to focus on.
Thank you thank you. You web video was just what I needed to see and hear. I purchased a website and is in the process of developing it and I just co-authored a book. I like quick start my coaching business and you just empowered me to do so.
Great video!
Thanks. It is great stuff for beginners becuase it takes one step by step.
Thank you. Well done and presented effectively. Motivated to start now rather than suffer from analysis paralysis as is my history. Keep it up, you will hear from me again.
Hiya really loved the video and its made me want to go in this direction to be a life coach even more thank you and could you please email me details and costs thanks again 🙂
I found it very useful. I would have found it very useful if you had a side note of an example of tips for your first strategy sessions.
Thank you!
Awesome!
Finally, a vehicle in which I can use my true gift…the uncanny ability to comprehensively “read” people at a glance, and use whatever insight I glean to motivate and help them. I have previously used this ability to receive a full scholarship to college and then to graduate school by assessing a person’s needs, both academically and emotionally to tutor them in whatever skill they required. I have used this ability to climb the corporate ladder as well. Previously, I have never taken a penny for my advice or time ( tutoring), except for the scholarships. Now, I would welcome the opportunity to combine my love for helping people and be financially remunerated for it – my income requirements have grown substantially since grad school..family, home, etc. Looking forward with great enthusiasm to starting my own coaching empire. Thanks, Craig.
Thank you so much for the most informative, free! course that I have found on the internet. Incredibly valuable.
I would like to receive more information. This video is fantastic!
Interesting strategy. I am also wondering how much the program is?
Hey Jeff, video did not come up. Any suggestions?
Great video…..i am ready and excited to start my new business.
Very, very good. I got steps I can take starting tomorrow to grow my business. Many principles and cross over into others area besides coaching.
thank you.
this was so awesome. I took lots of notes and became completely inspired to do the homework. But not till I get my business cards lol <3
hey the video is awsome , very very very informative
Nice video … you pulled it off without really being in front of the camera … nice speaking voice ..it was engaging, great tone and pace. How long did it take you in practice? Did you have a marketing or speech coach to help you with this. Looking forward to next session
Great stuff. Very informative and just the type of information that I was looking for concerning the business side of running a coaching practice. Thanks for this.
found your video informative. I have a friend that is an excellent marketing person and speaker. Would/could you reccommend having someone else sell you for a cut of the bussiness?
I didn’t actually watch the video. I listened to it while doing some housework. But, the information is very helpful. I like that you are upfront with the fact that it takes work to build the business. You give very good information and it is very understandable. I am in the beginning stages of becoming a coach. FYI–I was on youtube watching something completely different and ran across your video. Thought you might like to know how I heard about it. Thanks.
A VERY GOOD INTRODUCTION TO THE COACHING BUSINESS.NOW I HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.I AM A TEACHER BY PROFESSION,I RESIGNED AFTER 22 YEARS OF SERVICE,BUT I COULD NOT FIND PEACE.I STILL MISS YOUNG PEOPLE,THAT IS WHY I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A YOUTH LIFE SCHOOL.PLEASE HELP ME TO KICKSTART…
Hello, pls send me the cost and any more info on the course tks
What the cost? I have searched many who publish cost so not to waste mine or there time. Please reply ASAP because I’m ready to start ASAP Thanks.
I am interested in learning how to become a life coach. Finance is limited.But i would like the best training. I have been in some way or other a life coach to all around me, without knowing it. People, complete strangers tell me there problems openly all the time. I have a gift and would like to turn this into a successful business. Any guidance in where to find a good course that is affordable would be appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Phillip Timveos.
Very well done and thorough video. I have just started to seriously looking at life coaching to compliment my HR training and stumbled on this video. It was really great stuff and has given me nudge I need to move forward. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks Jeff! I completed my Life Coach training, but unfortunately, there was not much emphasis on actually creating a business out of the skills learned. Thanks for motivating me to take the next steps to turn my training into a business.
video didn’t work!
I really need program costs please and thx…. and also if there is some kind of certification…..
It was very detailed.I liked it a lot.
Stumbled across the link from a google search. You did an excellent job at creating a great foundation for a practice.
Fabulous! I discovered your video at the right time. I have been a ‘natural coach’ most of my life. Friends, family and strangers always open up to me and also ask for advice so being a coach is the perfect fit for me. I still haven’t found my ‘niche’ yet. People talk to me about a variety of problems they might have, personal and business, so I’m trying to discover the more suited one for me to work with. Your information is clear and precise and straight to the point. Very refreshing! Thank you so much for the instruction and advice. I will stay tuned.
Jeff….Love the video…..first question…how do I find a superb coach? One that will mesh with my vision? If I pay up to 1000.00 a month…how many times should I expect to meet with my coachper week and for how long each meeting? Second…I mentor people now for “free” Part of me feels guilty using the gifts i’ve been given to make money off it. Any thoughts regarding this?
Colleen
1 Liked your delivery & non-nonsense details about what it takes to build a coaching practice as a business. It seems like an approach more for business coaching and I am interested in “life coaching”. Not sure the same approach will result in significant lead generation.
2 How much does your program cost?
Awesome info!! can’t wait to get started… how do i get a mentor?
Wow, Jeff.. you sure have away to share… how long hav eyou been doing coachings?
I love to be acoach.. but after listening to you I am not certain I really can call my self coach… actually I just took teh name of my signature… hope I can learn more and soon to keep up with the best… like you.
Please connect when you have it ready.
thanks
Jeff you did give the most valuable stuff. Great content and so easy to listen to and action. Many thanks
Contact me, I would like to talk to you.
Excellent. I have done free sessions. After listening to this tape, should I redo and call these strategy sessions.
Lillie
I’ll send all the course information to you soon.
I started my coaching business with only 50 contacts. I did not have most of their emails. The quality of your contacts is just as important as the quantity, so your contact list doesn’t need to be big in order to support a thriving coaching practice.
If you have no contact list whatsoever, then you’d need to build one. This could be done by:
.
These methods help you grow your coaching practice into a true business that has no limits to what it can earn for you (not to mention, no limit to the difference you can make for the world).
Jeff
Feel free to get in touch and we’ll talk about it if you’re interested.
Jeff
Any market (or niche) consists of three things:
1. Group of people that identify together (i.e. christians, doctors, dog lovers, pool players, cancer patients, etc.)
2. Problem (a problem that this group has)
3. Solution (a solution that this group wants to use to solve the problem in #2)
Start with this and let’s see if your niches fulfill this requirement. Each of these areas need to be specific.
Jeff
very interested. How much is the course? is there any certification?
A long time ago, I went to Toastmasters, which helped me quite a bit.
After that, nothing. However, when you do as much reading, listening, watching, and coaching as I do, giving a presentation is pretty natural. Coaches can be amazing speakers if they take the time to practice and learn the basics.
Jeff
YES, but there’s a way to do it that works, and lots of ways to do it that doesn’t work.
If your contact has access to good audiences, then they could generate the leads for you to convert into clients. Seldom does a speaker sell coaching during the presentation itself.
Jeff
Lot’s of great questions here. Let’s start with this one:
There are lots of coaches to choose from, and most of them are a Google search away. Most of them are also willing to give you a complimentary session before you pay for their coaching, so you’ll have a good chance with each of them to evaluate the fit.
The amount of time doesn’t matter as much as the results they help you to get. If you spend 20 minutes with your coach, but they help you make an extra $1000, then that’s at least worth $1000. If you spend 5 hours with a coach and they don’t add any real value during those 5 hours, then who cares about the longer amount of time?
That has more to do with deep seated beliefs than anything else. Changing these beliefs is something we do in the Quickstart Coaching Code program, because it’s so essential to your success in your coaching business.
Until we’re working on this together, I’d say to get started no matter how you feel about it. As long as you know in your heart that charging a client is the right thing to do (logically), then do it, and deal with the feelings as you grow. Inauthentic feelings have a tendency to change as you act against them. This isn’t the perfect solution, but it’s the only one that will fit in the space of a comment…
Jeff
In my experience working with over 3,000 life coaching clients, it works just the same way.
However, coaching is a new profession, so results do vary a bit. You also need to personalize this approach to your own niche and business.
I’ll send program information shortly.
Jeff
There are lots of coaches to choose from, and most of them are a Google search away. Most of them are also willing to give you a complimentary session before you pay for their coaching, so you’ll have a good chance with each of them to evaluate the fit.
Jeff
As of 2012, about 12 years of coaching and getting paid for it.
Jeff
Just go HERE and send your message and I’ll receive it.
Jeff
I’m putting together the details now. As long as you’re on the interest list, I’ll email you more details as things progress.
It looks like there will be 2 certifications to gain from doing this program at the highest level.
Stay tuned.
Jeff
I’ve been in the business for 5 years. I was experiencing a little down slope but after listening to you I’m ready to get back started! Thanks for the motivation!
Jeff, it has been a pleasure listening to your video. I have been an entrepreneur for 15 years and have witnessed what you spoke about. For years I have been interested in coaching and YOU have sold me. I can’t wait to get started. My experience has been that if you enjoy what you do, then you will look forward to doing it each day. Your excitement is so contagious! Please keep me updated as I look forward to the your future videos and correspondence. Thanks Jeff.
Just starting out in this career .. I am interested in the cost of your course. I noticed that “people” want someone who is “Certified” though there is currently no certification in this field, there are courses that one can take, Will you being offering a certificate of completion? I will anxiously wait to hear back from you.
Blessings,
Linda
@Linda
Silly me, for some reason your last comment did not show up until I had sent my question about the certification 🙂
This was very informative. I am looking forward to future videos.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
No video came up
Is this video flash because I didn’t get the video??
Great Tools!!
@Jeffrey T. Sooey
Watched quick start video in its entirety and thought it was both helpful and interesting. I took a lot of notes and will be starting my 5hrs of calls after I finish this entry. I am just getting started with the coaching as a “professional”, but have been coaching women to wellness for a few years now. I think that the only part that I may have a challenge with would be coming up with a way to measure results from the sessions. Right now the women tell me that they are notice a change in how they view diferent aspects of life in general, but again how do I measure that?
Your clients don’t want certifications from you. They want results. If you show them how you’ll help them get results, then they’ll be more than happy to hand you money in exchange for the results they desire.
A certification is a poor substitute for proof that you’ll get results for a client, in fact, after a free session, if your prospective customer asks you if you’re certified, then chances are you’ve failed to convince your prospect that you can help them (they’re searching for lesser reasons why they might still consider working with you).
That said, I’m planning on offering two certifications with the Quickstart Coaching Code:
You’ll receive the first certification after you’ve completed the live 30 day bootcamp.
You’ll receive the second certification after you’ve completed the onsite certification training.
Jeff
It’s a good start. You need to dig a bit with these clients. Ask them questions that reveal:
What do they DO differently as a results of how they view life?
How do they communicate with others differently?
What external results are coming from that internal change?
What’s now possible for them now that wasn’t possible before (future results)?
What pain has been eliminated?
What new pleasure is now available?
Do they react to situations differently now?
If this ‘new view of life’ doesn’t result in any of the above, then it’s likely best to work with these clients until some tangible changes occur for them (or at least, become possible).
Jeff
I just made some improvements to the site so you should be able to play this video across all devices (as long as they work with HTML5).
Try the video now and let me know if you have any further trouble.
Jeff
Awesome content. Many thanks
Hey Jeff… look forward to your launch.
I’m definitely interested in this course and look forward to it’s completion.
I’m attempting to build a internet marketing firm that does services/coaching in my local market.
Helping business owner’s run their marketing better.
was wondering if your course would still be mostly applicable to me since my niche isn’t traditional life coaching but instead business coaching.
Interested in more upcoming videos, Very Interesting and straight forward approach.
I enjoyed and learned so much listening to tips .
I thought of so many avenues I could explore how to generate clients .
Well I am so sure of my confidence and natural sales ability I will make it my goal to gain the trust in people making them relaxed and comfortable new clients.My client list can only grow.
100% of the Quickstart Coaching Code (the business skills side of the course) will directly apply to your business.
80% – 90% of the High Caliber Coaching Code (the coaching skills side of the course) will directly apply to your business (there’s a major section that covers coaching specifically in intimate relationships, which doesn’t directly apply to business coaching generally).
There are sections on coaching executives, small business owners, home business owners, family owned businesses, plus all the coaching technique sections are going to apply to coaching businesses (coaching businesses is where I mastered all these techniques!)
Another element you’ll find in the High Caliber Coaching Code… There are three ‘games’ of business:
1. Inner Game
2. Outer Game
3. Action
We cover how to coach your business coaching clients in all three of these areas for maximum success.
Jeff
P.S. The beginnings of your site look good.
I thought this video contained excellent ideas to move forward in a coaching business. I have offered free coaching to some people but they do not follow through with the homework.
hi jeff this was a great video looking forward to more of your self explanotary videos it was something i have been searching for a while to give me a head start and you answered
it in plain and simple english keep the videos rolling in great work!
Hi Jeff, super fantastic. This is valuable information. I’ve looked and looked on the internet and everyone wants to tell you all about the classes they offer and none of them are willing to give you a peek into any of the material they use. You give a great peek into how you operate. I’d say, it’s way more than a peek. Thank you so much for this free information. I look forward to learning more from you.
Hi Jeff, Thoroughly enjoyed the video. The information was clear and concise. I am currently starting an holistic wellness coaching business. I have a medical background and a natural healh lifestyle. Would this course be beneficial or would a need to specifically take a health coaching course. I’ve looked at several but was not impressed. My colleagues keep on telling me I don’t need to be certified because I know more than what they would teach, I just need to ask the right questions. That’s how I came across this website – I googled “questions health coaches ask”.
Would apreciate your thoughts on this.
hi jeff ~ thank you so much for the wonderful and actionable video! i just became a certified CCAR Recovery Coach in New York State (OASAS – New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services) which is a new credential in New York after a very successful start in Connecticut and other parts of the world. coaching is the future! 🙂
Great information for a beginner such as myself. I cannot wait for the next training session.
Hi Jeff, Very good information. Looking forward to receiving the next video. I think I heard you talking about a book to read. Could you say the name of the book again. Thank you, you Jeff have something very special here . Glad ,to be able to get all you are , so I can be all I am to be. I love helping people to find their way. Jeff you are giving so much,hope to get it all and do it right. Thanks again . GOD bless you , peace be with you. Till I hear from you. Always Sandy.
im most interested with the hoildays coming up how to survive or thrive

web videos, blogs etc.
This is a very insightful and inspirational tool- thank you!
@Shawn
Ask the client to measure their own results- it’s all about them!
Thanks for the concise presentation and I’m looking forward to more – any suggestions website and targeting a niche or not?
I have been coaching for over 12 yrs..I cheered in my school yrs & tumbled..my twin sister & I tought each other everything, from Tumbling, stunting, Cheerleading, at a very young age..I coached in Germany, Louisiana, now Wisconsin ..been to SCA, UCA, NCA, & certified. I have done choreographing for many competitions, I love every squad I’ve coached, from age 3 to college ..what is the cost of this program? I would love to make more money than I am now, I do private coaching as well as High-school ..but always wanted to someday further my coaching ..ty! Jeanene
Carol,
I generally don’t advise that you target a niche when you’re first starting out as a coach. Learning to coach, enroll clients, provide life-changing value, etc., is enough for the first 3-6 months of your coaching business without trying to learn how to become a direct marketer, market researcher, and internet (or mail-order) marketing guru.
There are exceptions to that, but from what I’ve seen with most successful coaches, their niche tends to ‘find them’ through their experience of coaching clients and exploring all the potential sources of business that are available to them without trying to ‘pick a niche’. Niches aren’t something you ‘pick’… they are something you find through research, practice, and talking to lots of clients.
In the Quickstart program, there are several important niche research tools that you’ll use, but only after having practiced real coaching with potential clients. Then you’ll have that experience and insight that the ‘niche’ question requires in order for the answer to be worth anything to your coaching business.
Jeff
Nena,
I’ll send you details as soon as I have them. Stay tuned.
Jeff
Excellent. The information was great. I am just starting out as a Life Coach, and am excited about the information. What fees are relevant, once client base is secured after offering free “Strategy Sessions”?
Very informative and clear. It was way beyond my expectations. Thank you.
Great video. I am interested in learning more.
Kenneth,
Coaching fees can range widely, so it really depends on your market niche, service that you provide, etc.
I’d start out at a fee level that you’re comfortable with, whatever number that happens to be. Over time, you can raise your fees or change them as you and your business evolves.
Jeff
I’ll send you more info via email as things develop. Any questions you have, just let me know.
Jeff
I found the video to be very uplifting and educational. I am just starting my persuit of life coaching. I have my M.S and working on my Ph.D in mental health and have found the traditional way of counseling to be a “hamster in the wheel” appraoch to helping. Helping those who really want to succeed is my goal. Again, the presentation was great and I look forward to more!
no video
Would like to know what and where can I get or to become a cheerleading coach and how much it cost
Hi there,
There is something I don’t understand. Do you suggest getting coaches ourselves to learn how to coach and then this is the business side of things?
Compelling approach. I found myself taking notes, and reinvigorated, excited to test out your techniques. Think You.
Very nice work. I look forward to the next time I have a chance to listen to Jeffrey as I find him up lifting. Just when I thought where now? I just happened to see this and it was very good. thank you.
Randy,
Try it now.
Jeff
Diane,
I’m suggesting that you need to have a coach yourself if you’re going to do well as a coach.
You don’t have to have a coach to learn to coach, nor do you need one to run a coaching business, but it’s important and valuable in my experience.
Jeff
Very nice video presentation. Thanks for sharing!
I thought that this video was extremely well put together. I’m excited to see more! so very informative and easy to understand. thank you so much for all this input:) would love to know more about the course and pricing. I do have one question though; how do you know as a new coach what to charge your clients. i know you have to charge what were worth; however how do you find a balanced median. thanks again,
Kay:)
Jeff,
I really appreciate the tools I gained from this video. I even took notes to refer back. I feel more encouraged and prepared than ever to begin my own life coaching business. Thank you!
I appreciate the clarity and straightforward information in the video. There seems to be no shortage of free “get started coaching now” web videos targeted at new/wannabe coaches but this was EASILY teh most informative providing real information tnat anyone can use right away along with a clear picture of reality eg:expect to do 5 hours of calling for 1 to 2 YEARS, or sample of what to say on a call.
I am a an actor with over 15 years experience leading acting and improv classes to adults and kids as well as facilitating corporate workshops utilizing improv and acting skills to teach soft skills – team building, communication, creativity ect. I am now interested in developing my current expereinc and skills into a coaching practice. The info in this video was great business advice that I can start to use ASAP.
Where I am stuck is in how to define/communicate my area of expertise. When I tell people I am coaching I find myself going on and on. I know that I know what I am doing but it sure doesn’t seem that way when I open my mouth and coaching team building by phone doesn’t seem effective.
How might your course address my issue – defining an area of coaching expertise when the expertise is soft not hard like “sales” or “career transition”
Would working with a coach help with that?
Per your advice – Jeff – are you available to speak with?
Very interesting information.
Great informations and lean alot. Thank’s.
Great informations and learn alot wisdoms. Thank’s…..
Enjoyed very much. Very informative. I had actually thought about getting a coach for myself to see what it would be like in my clients shoes. Also to get tips on do’s and dont’s. Where did you say we could go to get info on setting up web videos? or is that included in your package? I would also like info on pricing. Thanks
Thank you very interesting i am looking into becoming a coach for my hispanic market.
Thanks for all the good information. The content has given me some new information to launch my own coaching business.
I truly enjoyed your presentation. It was informative, easy to understand and really gave many ideas that if put into practice can very well turn out to be effective and profitable. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. This is the example of what we have to do in order to capture the attention of the kind of clients we are targeting.
Great infomation that is useful not only for a coaching business but also is transferrable to any business. Thanks. I am looking forward to building a thriving coaching business. This video was extremely motivational
Interesting, plz send me the details and cost. Thanx
I would like start up cost please thank you 🙂
This was very informative & it opened my eyes to other options that I never thought to try. Thank you!
This was very informative. I look forward to looking at other videos you offer. I have a lot to think about and do to get my business started. Thank you.
Hi Jeff,
This was really helpful.
no video came up so was dissaponted
Thank you for your open and honest video. Much appreciation. Tom
Excellent video- several tips I will do and am doing already! – I have a WOW your LIFE NOW Series of videos on youtube! I’m on IBOTOOLBOX (www.ibosocial.com/valj1973) and as a result of this video I’m revamping my Comp strategy session lingo and pitch! – thanks! – At the end of Q1 2013 I will email you what I’ve done, what worked and the measurable results! thank you again!
Great web video. Extremely informational and useful. Nice delivery and real value in this video. I didn’t feel as if I was listening to an infomercial. Thanks so much!
-Angela Noel
Fantastic! I took copious notes. I will review again but I learned a lot. Some of them I am already doing but what you said reinforced what I need to commit to doing for the New Year. Just awesome. I look forward to more.
Yes, we have a few programs that cover creating video coaching and products in great detail. Here are some basics:
Equipment –
1. Audio capture
Use a plantronics mic that has a direct USB connection to your computer. No fuss, no muss.
Most computers also have internal mics, but the quality will suck (yes, including mac mics! — too much background noise)
If you’re using a video camera to take live shots, there are a variety of mics you could use (including whatever internet mic the camera has), but it does get a bit more complex at that point.
2. Video capture
Many computers (and tablets) have embedded cameras that take fantastic video. This is a great option for live video capture.
A flip video or Kodak zi-8 (or similar model) is a good option for live video capture as well. Just remember that you MUST have decent lighting and audio. Get a 3-point lighting kit and a backdrop from a camera store to assure that things look professional.
If you want to only take video of your computer screen (or a powerpoint slide presentation), then you don’t need a camera. You need Screen Capture software. FOR PC – Camtasia FOR MAC – Screenflow.
3. Editing software
On a PC, live video editing software will likely come with whatever video camera you buy. It won’t be great, but likely will be good enough to make something professional.
On a mac, use final cut (find a used copy of ‘express’ for $200+ if you’re on a budget) for live video editing.
If you got your video content through screencapture (see above), then use the software that captured the video to edit it for publishing. I use Screenflow almost exclusively for this purpose and it works great.
4. Publishing and hosting your video
I would start by simply uploading video to http://youtube.com, then eventually graduate to using amazon’s S3 hosting to store your video content and use an appropriate video player plugin on your wordpress blog, etc.
If you sign in HERE, I’ll send you updates and pricing information when it’s available.
Jeff
Guys, as long as you’re signed in HERE, you’ll get the details and payment options as soon as they are available.
Jeff
I just added a direct download link to this page, so you should be able to download this video directly to your computer even if no video comes up on your browser. Let me know if you have any further trouble.
Jeff
Dear Jeff, Thank you for the start up video.
i loved it.
Dear Jeff,
Thank you for the start up video. I loved it.
It’s a great video to watch to get more clients.
I am a ACC/ CPCC certification student, indeed it will help me in my lifecoaching journey.
Thanks a lot!
Thank you! Very informative.
Hi Jeff,
I thoroughly enjoyed and absorbed your video. There are so many coaching companies offering courses and manuals (quite expensive I might add), and once you are qualified, you have no support from them as to how to use your newly acquired qualification to start a new career!
THANKYOU, high-value and actionable information. Much appreciated!
The Quick Start Coaching Video was an excellent resource to start the coaching business. I am hoping the for services will be reasonable enough that I may be able to begin the process.
Thanks.
Wow, an Excellent investment of my time! Finally, someone who is giving realistic, articulate, easy to follow guidance for beginning a coaching practice! Thank you… I can’t wait to hear more. 🙂
Thank you for the “Great Information”. I expected less – the usual stuff everyone talks about, but this exceeded my expectations. Thanks again for sharing.
Great videos!
How much does the course cost to get certified? How do I get to do the course immediately?
Jeff:
I am attempting to look at the video on my computer but I am having no luck! 🙁
AS I waited I had an opportunity to read the comments that you replied to and I am so intrigued, I really want to watch the video now.
What can I do to watch it?
Any suggestions?
Thanks Jeff!
Coach Arthur
Jeff:
I have done a lot of research to start my Life Coaching practice. I launched it on January 4, 2013: NieCat – Life Coaching for a BETTER You! In my research I have watched a lot of videos, read a lot of emails from coaches and coaching companies, but by far you are the BEST!
Wow!
I am happy to say that I have already done the first 3 bullets to your assignment as well as began my blog, http://www.niecat.com without even knowing! I am so excited! You have given me confirmation that I am on the right track!
Thank You for choosing to share this information!
Coach Arthur
Thank you
Thank for your video. It is clear my mind about coaching. May I ask you somthing? First, I have no specific expertise, interest or passions. So can I become coach? Second: Is it any difference between coaching and self helf motivator?
Thank you.
I’ve since added a DOWNLOAD LINK under the video in case you can’t play the video on the site. Just use that link and you should be able to download it to your computer.
Let me know if you have any more trouble with watching the video.
Jeff
Get information. This helped me out a lot.
very good counsel. i have actually just started a career coaching business with my NCFE certification in life coaching. its been a year now but its still slow in coming up.
i really want to know how to get people to pay for career coaching. most people think it should be funded by an NGO so they can get it for free!
Mr. Sooey, I’d like to quickly go over how I came across this career match for myself.
Currently, I am a psychology major student trying to attain my bachelor’s, eventually leading into psychiatry. The transfer process to a university was chaotic, and I ended up having to use this spring semester as a break because of problems in the transferring process on my end and the University’s.
Well, I have a very entrepreneurial spirit, and after googling for a slogan for another “business” venture idea I have in mind, I stumbled upon life coaching as a legit, helping others opportunity. I had never really spent too much thought on it before, of all the times I had heard of it.
I started googling, and eventually it led to a YT video of yours.
I just wanted to express my sincerest gratitude for creating this video! I almost thought for a minute that I would have to go through (more) paid education to become a life coach, temporarily diverting my other academic plans.
Out of all of the other free learning information I’ve attained, this was by far the most simplistic, motivating, and thorough.
Thank you very much!! 🙂
Thank you for your generous gift of information. I’ve already started some of these (Gold mine list, offering free sessions) to family and friends and the results have been great. I see each session I offer as win-win, they get attention, new awarenesses, and an action plan at the very least, and I get practice and the sense of satisfaction of sharing. Soon I will take it to the next level and be charging, enabling me to pay down my credit card for the coach(es) I have already employed.
Many thanks and I suspect I will utilize your resources as I continue this awesome journey.
Hello! I loved the video. I know it will help me a lot with my coaching business. Plus, I’m a new coach! I would like more info on your Quick Start Coaching program if possible please. Thank you
Rori
Your info was very helpful. I want to be a coach because I feel like I am constantly doing this type of work for free but I am not charging. I have potentional clients alrealdy and I do know coaches. I want to make sure that when I am ready to proceed fully that I have the financial backing. I am get more and more people asking for infomation on different subjects and i really need to pursue this. I will continue to listen to your videos which give me more insight on getting started. Thank you very much.
Keep an eye on your email… I’m sending you more info in the coming days.
Jeff
Career coaching is a great business right now, and there are many ways to make money doing it.
If your customer really needs the coaching, there are two things they’ll want you to show them before they pay you:
1. PROOF that you’ve helped other people LIKE THEM get the results they want.
2. An offer that they believe is low risk, and worth 10 times what they’re paying you.
If you can show them those two things, they’ll pay you (assuming they can afford to).
Jeff
This video is GREAT! Provided an easy to follow step by step process to make $30,000 dollars a month. I am looking forward to hearing more about your program when you complete it.
Great video, thanks! Just what I needed, great solid advice, friendly delivery and leaves me wanting more.
I am starting my coaching services and the info was very informative. I took a few notes and will be sure to use them.
Thanks.
please send me more information per this video for my interest in pursuing life coaching, this video was phenomenal…. thank you
The information was very valuable to me in other areas of my life. Your approach to you presentation is perfect for me. Thank you………..
I wasn’t sure at first when i saw the “to good to be true” offer but now that i’ve listened to the above. i can say it makes perfect sense to me. Just common sense and pin point accuracy to what and where to allocate your time and energy. One wise woman once told me that you can’t become rich without having people work with/for you.
Have a great day
I am just researching the possibility of becoming a wellness coach. I am looking for a career change. I have my masters in education and taught music in the public schools. After three kids, I do not want to go back to teaching. I have always enjoyed fitness and nutrition. Do I need to go back to school for a degree in wellness coaching? or do I just need your course? I need some more guidance and information before diving in. Thanks
Good Video!
My Comments:
The video was informative but also vague to a degree and I understand why. To this point I really only took exception to the assumption that everyone would have the resources (contact base) to dedicate 5 hrs per week. What is your recommendation for those that do not have an extensive contact list? Personally, I feel that many will exhaust their initial contacts within one or two weeks. You state do this for two years. How would most people achieve this level of direct contact?
Thanks,
Doc
…”Then if your…”
should be “Then if you are…”
Why do I have to download your video to watch it??
Sherry,
I’ll email you.
Jeff
I think it depends on a few things:
1. What types of clients you’re going to work with
2. Your business model (how you plan to make money and attract customers)
3. The role you want to play with your business and customers
You CAN coach ANYONE on ANYTHING as long as you’re clear on what your role is for them (as a coach) and what role(s) you cannot play for them.
For instance, I’ve coached clients with cancer and other severe diseases, given advice and coaching, and helped them turn their diseases around. However, I never claimed to be giving medical advice. I also always advised them to use a doctor for their primary medical care role and for the most accurate answers on their situation.
In that respect, you don’t need to:
1. be an expert in the areas in which you’re coaching your clients
2. be the one ‘telling them what to do’ (that’s their job)
As a coach, you will more likely:
1. Hold them accountable for doing what they already know they need to do.
2. Listen to them and act as a sounding board for ideas and options.
3. Support them and be an unwavering stand for them and their goals.
4. Work with them to maintain the mindset, focus, commitment, confidence, etc. (a strong ‘inner game’) to get the results they want.
So…
While getting more education might be helpful to you, you may be able to get the information you need for helping your clients through your own personal research rather than official certifications and education.
While a good coach always considers learning more via whatever channels are the best fit for them, you COULD simply take this course and you’ll have successfully started your business. Just remember that your education as a coach and in your business shouldn’t stop there if you’re going to achieve the most success possible in your coaching business.
Jeff
If you think that your only valuable resources is your address book, then I can’t help you.
In fact, the people WITH a ‘big contact base’ are the people that know that they have the resources WITHIN THEMSELVES to BUILD any sized contact base they choose.
Do you have a MOUTH?
Do you have a grasp of at least one widely used SPOKEN LANGUAGE?
Are you able to SPEAK?
Are you able to do one of the following:
>>transport yourself via car, bus, dogsled, etc., to the nearest human gathering area?
>>pick up the phone and dial it?
>>use Facebook, twitter, youtube, linkedin, or any other widely used online networking system?
Then you have ALL THE RESOURCES YOU NEED.
So, yes, I’m assuming that you’re a capable communicator and that you’re able bodied, and that you have phone, internet, and transportation.
You need to build contacts. You can do this in many ways. Here are a few:
>>Meet people by networking locally.
>>Build new contacts online (including social media).
>>Get referrals from your current contacts to build your list further.
>>Speak in front of groups to build contacts.
I’ve successfully used all these methods to build my list of contacts, and they can work well for anyone.
Jeff
Thanks for the note.
You don’t have to. Currently every major browser should stream the videos I provide right online.
If you can’t seem to play the video, you may need to update your browser. Let me know what browser you use and the version you’re using.
Jeff
Do you have multiple blogs for different specialties within your coaching business – i.e. – real estate agents that you work with and maybe a different blog if you work with athletes who want success?
I loved the video – it gave me a game plan to jump start my business. Do you have multiple blogs, each one discussing a certain topic – or do you just have one blog?
Great information, I have been putting of starting my life coaching business for about 10 years. Now that me daughter is going to the 11th grade and soon I’ll have a empty nest I am motivated to start setting it up so that I can be in the position to open my practice. This information has motivated me so much! Good Luck to everyone, this area of business is so much in demand right now, I think we all could be successful at it as long as it’s a true passion.
This was just what I have been looking for, thanks so much for taking the time to make this Jeff! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Great focused direction. Putting the pedal to the metal!
I am very pleased at what i viewed today, I would like to know if i was to speak to clients exactly what am i going to say, other then that this was a great start.
Thanks
Hi Jeff! 🙂
I asked for guidance (as I usually do when I feel stagnant) and pop comes your Ad!! Some would call it coincidence but I call it the Law of Attraction.
I am a graduated Neuro Semantics/Meta-NLP Practitioner/Coach (planning of completing my Master Coach by October 2014).
I have the knowledge, I have the wisdom of my life experiences and I have a God given gift to inspire and empower those who ‘somehow’ seek me; I’ve been doing this my entire life as it comes easily to me and quite natural and have realised that this IS when I am my most passionate!
To cut a long story short, I left the Corporate stream just under two years ago and after much, much soul searching, holistic training and self-empowerment courses etc. have decided to be a Coach so I can get paid for doing exactly what I absolutely love and am strongly passionate about, “Inspiring & Empowering people” with an emphasis on women.
The stepping stone I’d been having difficulties stepping over was on, “HOW DO I GET STARTED WITH MY COACHING BUSINESS?!” Now, do you see WHY your Ad dropping out of thin air came as no surprise to me?! I asked for this! hehe
I have thoroughly enjoyed, in fact I couldn’t put pen and paper down whilst listening to you!! I cannot express in just a few words what this introduction has done for me Jeff; I will use it as a Map to Create my Services and later on my Product in my Coaching Practice in which I specialise in Self-Empowerment and Relationships.
Thank you so much, as I trust what you have taught me on this video, your voice sound genuine, even your smile, yes, your smiling voice. Your knowledge and experience aligns very well with what I have witnessed both as a student and as a Newby Coach.
Look forward to hearing more about the JTS Advisers Coaching Training!!
SJ
I thought this video was very informative. I am excited about moving forward in my profession!! LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE!!
Thanks for the information I found very useful because I’m living in other country so I have to start from zero.
I gained tremendous “usable”information via your video. Fantastic!!
YES. It’s best to niche your blogs rather than have one big ‘catch all’ blog for different subjects.
This is true from an SEO perspective just as much as it is from a marketing perspective.
Jeff
It’s good to know what to say on many levels.
You should have an outline for the overall topics and questions you’ll focus on in different parts of a session. In addition, you also will want to memorize many different stories, scripts, questions, and discussions that will get the results you’re promising your clients.
Jeff
I really enjoyed the video, you answered many questions I had about starting a coaching service. I look forward to watching your next video, thank you!
This was a great video very informative. I am looking to the next videos. I would like to know how to make money from coaching blogs.
I must say that this was very interesting to hear. I think that the session was informative, but the specifics were generalized and could use more elaboration on the points mentioned. I have been coaching people for the last 7 years and people are always telling me that I need to get paid for all my time. The thing I want to know is how do you fine a true coaching program that is reasonable in price but is a company that operates out of integrity. I would also learn how to market myself if I could and multiple areas and which one of them to start in first. Lastly, do you guys offer coaching certification? Please let me know how to get the best bing for my buck. I thank you and look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Thank you for the specific actions for creating a coaching business. It took the approach from theoretical to actionable. I like the review of the 5 actions at the end of the video — they were a great summary and reinforcement of the video.
I enjoyed the video.Im in the process of putting my business plan together along with getting some training from coaches like you that can help me grow my practice.Thank you,I look forward to the next video
Very informative Video. My concern is, just because your method worked for you does not mean it will work for every one. I am sure there are other ways to success: is this the only way you know only because it worked for you? I enjoyed the video just the same and look forward to more. Thanks!
Thanks a million! Great info and motivation here. Awesome!
Brilliant ideas u shared, many thanks. I need help to become a business coach, I live in Sterling. Where can i enroll for a certificate programm
You’re right. Just because this method worked for me, doesn’t mean it works for everyone. In fact, in business, NOTHING ‘works for everyone’, and anyone who tells you differently is lying to you or mistaken.
This approach is the CORE SET OF METHODS, many of which should be the basis of your own personalized strategy.
I’ve seen many of our students use these methods as a ‘step one’ and then add some of our other more advanced strategies to this one to form create even better results.
In my experience, these are examples of coaches that this approach DOESN’T work for:
1. Coaches who don’t take enough action.
2. Coaches that try this approach one time and then quit.
3. Coaches who are constantly saying ‘This won’t work. This won’t work. This won’t work.’ to themselves as they use the approach.
4. Coaches who try to work with the wrong clients using this approach.
5. Coaches who can’t coach well (or don’t offer any real value to their clients).
6. Coaches who really aren’t a good fit for coaching as a profession.
7. Coaches who don’t really care about their clients.
8. Coaches who try to use strategies along with this approach that they know nothing about (therefore use the wrong approach).
9. Coaches who use this approach as a substitute for intelligence and wise business development decisions.
10. Coaches who don’t set a clear, achievable goal for themselves in this process.
11. Coaches who don’t modify their approach when they notice they aren’t getting their desired result or progress.
12. Coaches who don’t get at least some minimal help and advice from an experienced coach as they ongoingly pursue this process.
To your other point ‘there are other ways to success’…
I’ve found that almost ALL the ways that coaches have gotten their first clients have included a large set of the methods contained in this video. YES, not EVERY COACH uses EVERY strategy, but the core ideas (like free sessions, levers, and communication) are pretty universal.
Jeff
Price is relative to what you get and what the results are. I see many programs that are very cheaply priced that deliver NO RESULTS. Is that really a ‘reasonable price’? Not for a program that delivers NOTHING. A reasonable price for NOTHING is NOTHING.
If a program that costs $10,000 helps you build a $10,000 / month income, then that’s pretty reasonable!
Unfortunately, there’s no guarantee that you can assess someone’s integrity until you’ve made some type of investment with them. However, there are some signs to look for in my opinion:
1. Do they communicate with you even when you’re not spending money with them?
2. Do they follow through on their promises?
3. Do they offer money back guarantees on their entry level programs?
4. Do they have any kind of ‘real results’ track record with their graduates? Do their graduates seem happy with their experience?
Answering ‘yes’ to more of these questions indicates a higher level of integrity, but, again, is no guarantee.
If you’re just starting, I wouldn’t recommend that you commit to one area to market yourself yet. Most new coaches need time to practice their craft, learn the general coaching business development process, and explore many options before diving into one niche.
The best way to decide which area to start in, is to start in MANY areas, take massive action in each area, and see what works for YOU. No one can predict this, we can only estimate and discuss.
The point? PLANT 1,000 SEEDS AND LET MANY FLOWERS BLOOM. You’ll learn what works for you and you can redouble your investments in those areas (not to mention, you’ll gain experience and coaching income in the process).
YES. We do offer certification. I find the best way for our students to get the best ‘bang for their buck’ is to get started and get into action with their coaching practice AS THEY GET CERTIFIED. They start building an income even before they’ve blown all their free cash.
Jeff
We’re going to offer certification within the Quickstart Coaching Code and you’ll be able to get certified from Sterling. I’ll email you details as I flesh them out.
Jeff
Thanks this was awesome, how much is your course?
This video contained more practical and helpful information in one spot than in several dozen books I have read in the last year. Thank you!
This was a great video with lots of information that I just hadn’t thought of yet. I am glad I stumbled onto it. Thank you for your “strategy session”!! I’m motivated to press on and move forward!!
Jeff,

brilliant video and so helpful
Can not get video link to work…. any suggestions?
The vid was awesome and there is lots of good stuff to know about coaching.
Extremely helpful, very specific details on getting started anyone thinking of starting a coaching practice would benefit from this video. If you don’t have a half an hour to watch it right now come back to it later its that helpful. This video helped to point me in the right direction. Thanks so much
I thoroughly enjoyed this well planned presentation and have learn’t a lot from your series the Udemy online course I am partway through it. Very professional. I must say that the whole pace and quality is exciting I feel it in my chest. I am ready to start ( in fact I have already started in a small way, thanks to you) my website is in the cooking pot and my url and web hosting are bought and paid for.
Thanks Terry
Thank you for this valuable information.
This video gave me the MAP (which I have already began)in language
that I can understand & at a pace that I could follow without loosing interest in it. It also showed me HOW MUCH on track I am with my goals & where I can now add the daily activities to MOVE my Massive Action/Goal Plan faster and more effectively… awesome!
As a result of this video & you – I can now proceed with a certainty that was missing for me in establishing myself as a Motivational Speaker & Coach for Spanish speaking people and BEING NOW more excited to have my dream realized within the TIME FRAME I have given myself. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
iRMA…
I was not able to get back to the Comment page for “learningcoachingtechnology” video…so I am using this section…
I am passionate about Inspiring & Moving people into action in their own dreams by connecting them to: resources; people and opportunities. In the process transform the way the view themselves & the context they have with themselves so they can Do/Accomplish their dreams.
Challenge: 1. Create/Establish & solidify Joint Ventures that are a WIN-WIN relationship in $$$/Resources & Results. In past – others make $$$ i get the experience… 2. Establish credibility in South America (where I am starting this part of my life journey)without formal education or credentials. I have a BIG DREAM with Massive ACTIONS and already producing results that are taking to the next part of my plans.
iRMA…
Thanks for sharing. Firstly, your voice was very calm and friendly, not ‘sales-pitchy’. An honest voice is a good start for us skeptics out here. The information you provided is a powerful introduction to those of us having cold feet about getting in the ring of coaching. I appreciate what you offered and look forward to getting started.
Hello, this was only an audio video. Was this the way it was supposed to be.
Very helpful and relevant information! Thank you!
Thanks for the useful info. It was awesome!
Interesting video as to how to go about getting clients. I have been working on getting my coaching practice going for close to 2 years now. I recently resigned my full time job to put more energy and effort into this. How important is it that I define a niche and how do you go about convincing people to hire you if you have no previous experience or credibility?
Thanks,
Scott
Atlanta
Hi jeff, I am interested in that information swell, could you please send me the details via email?
Thank you in advance
@Jeffrey T. Sooey
* as well. (not swell, sorry)
Thanks, its really helpful.
Hi Jeff, I just want to start out by saying that your information on starting a successful coaching business is by far the best that I have come across. It is very informative and gives a very good basis to start with. I have the internet and a phone, but as I am not yet certified, how much would you say is a fair amount to charge clients after the complimentary sessions? And would you be able to email me with regards to mentoring me please? How can I ensure that I communicate my strengths, qualifications and talents well in order to get business if I don’t have a coaching certification?
Many Thanks
Katrina
I think this was an exceptional blog and I feel it gave me insight on what I already know. Like you said you know what to do but maybe fear or not enough get up and go to do it. However, I wanted to say I see using the public speaking strategy as the # 1 ways for me to get the word out there for what I’m trying to do. I thank you for your expertise.
it was helpful
Great detailed explanation of how to offer free sessions to get started. Thanks so much! The entire video was extremely helpful instead of being just another sales pitch.
EXTRAORDINARY! Thank You, I appreciate it. God Bless You and have a DELIGHTFUL New Year with your family. Respectfully, Isabel Rodriguez
great video and I will keep listening
Jeff thank you so much for sharing with us all this information for free. The information was well planned and thorough, and your voice was very relaxed and inviting. I’ve gained so much value from this and two of your YouTube videos that I have already subscribed to. I especially liked the assignment part as a way of backtracking what was discussed earlier. I will be sharing the link that led me to this on my twitter feed. Keep up the good work and all the best to you!
Thank you so much!
Be bless!
Very inspirational and helpful recording. I am ready to start moving ahead on my dream to be a relationship coach. I have heard much of this before in pieces so was very happy to find it all put together in one session clearly and concisely. Your homework sounds attainable and necessary to move forward successfully. Can I do it? Yes. Very excited and exhillerated. Can I suggest creating a worksheet or workbook people could download to get started. Hey maybe Ill do that. The first few months are always the most difficult, getting yourself motivated and to fully committ and most importantly believing in yourself. It has taken me a number of months to get to this point and now I am ready to go. Many thanks.
Thank you! Very good video, approach, marketing strategies, etc..Well done. I just happened to see one of your videos on YouTube.
I have been helping at NO Charge for individuals, business’, in many areas. The most common being romance & finance but much more than these two. My income has always been from other sources.
I have been approached by several close friends & family noting that I have been the happiest while helping others…. I have decided to go back to helping but now for a business, focusing all.
I would welcome all that you have to offer via email or your postings.
Sincerely,
Alfie
ps again nice video!
This is the one video that got me started as a life coach
thanks,
G R karthik
Hi Jeffery man awesome nuts and bolts of the coaching biz i have been advising my buddies and friends on how to make money and start biz for a long time how do i turn this talent into paying clients some of them just see me as pete their buddy I am in the Bahamas Great Job would like for you to personaly coach me lol. best wishes, pete
Thank you for a logical way to get started.
Finally, someone who understands that not everyone who is new to coaching knows how to actually get started. Thanks so much. I watched the video and immediately got on the phone and have spoken to many folks. I was shocked at how many listened and at the response of them wanting to continue with my services. Amazing, wish I had known of that strategy last year. Look out world, here I come (lol).
Very comprehensive, straightford and honest approch provided in a simple and easy to follow manner. Thank for great value
The first place to start would be to get on the interest list HERE: http://coachestrainingblog.com
Jeff
We cover a lot of details on how to get started on this blog as well as in the Quickstart Coaching Code program. I’ll sent all the details on the course to you via email.
Jeff
All the videos have a direct download link below the video itself. Just right-click that link and ‘save link as…’ to save the video to your computer.
Jeff
Most joint ventures don’t work (at least at first), so you’ll need to talk to many JV prospects before you find one or two that render a WIN/WIN for you. Use the numbers game to your advantage by talking to LOTS OF PEOPLE. Not only will you be more likely to find a few good relationships, but you’ll learn a lot from the JV prospecting process.
Credibility is a matter of giving lots of free sessions and proving that you can produce results by demonstrating exactly that to your prospects, partners, and customers. This is partly a game of skill and learning, but again, also a numbers game. The more coaching you give away, the better you’ll get and the more results you’ll produce for people… eventually, this will build tremendous credibility for you.
Jeff
You should see the video also if it’s working as it’s supposed to.
Jeff
I wouldn’t advise you to try to define and choose a niche when you’re first getting started. If you’re doing a lot of good coaching and working hard giving free sessions and making a difference for your clients… your niche will FIND YOU. I see lots of coaches who think they’ll get lots of clients as a result of picking a niche. They pick a niche based upon little to no marketing/coaching knowledge, and little to no experience. then they proceed to waste their time and money on a niche that they’ll NEVER get any clients from at all. They quit soon after… very frustrated and demoralized.
Having a good niche can be a good thing, but most coaches should wait for a while before they assume that they have enough knowledge and experience with their clients to decide to put resources towards a specific niche.
Credibility comes from proving that you can produce results for your client. There are lots of ways to do that, but the FIRST way I’d suggest you start is by ACTUALLY GETTING RESULTS FOR PEOPLE. When people get results from you, THERE’S NO QUESTION that you’re credible and that they can trust that you’ll deliver on your value proposition.
If you have no experience, then all there is for you to do is to GO GET EXPERIENCE. Run free sessions EVERY DAY. In a month or two, you’ll have PLENTY of experience.
Your credibility will come from lots of things, but start by running lots of sessions, and getting lots of results for your clients.
Jeff
Not sure what information you’re talking about?
Jeff
Start by charging what YOU are comfortable with. The amount doesn’t matter. For now, don’t worry about charging too little. You can always raise your fees later.
Will do.

Well done! I benefitted from watching your video. Thanks for your insights.
Very informative session. Lots of ideas to work on.
I am already involved in providing pro bono coaching with a very small circle. This has demonstrated to me, how I can broaden that circle. I have had a couple of paying clients but have not pursued them as I need to focus on completing my qualifications.
I am currently looking for a mentor/coach. Could you please send me your proposal of engagement.
thank you.
What appointment setting software is the best? Any suggestions?
Very interesting and informative video. Could you send me more information on your coach/mentor services. I am just trying to start my coaching business.
Thank you so much Jeff! I would love to see more of these videos.
Thanks for these tips. I am just starting out and haven’t yet finished my website, but working on it daily. Ireally appreciate the input this webinar provided.
Jeff,
Thank you so much for the information provided in your Quick Start Coaching Video. Every day I coach the people that I work with and people that I meet. I have a strong desire to help make a difference in people’s lives. I know that coaching is my true calling, however, my present work pays the bills. I am interested in learning more about your program, the cost, the time frame and time commitment, and anything else you are willing to provide. Thank you again! Linda
Hi jeff! thanks for the video, I am a career coach and facing challenges in filling my practices, lots of stuff i went through from internet surfing but these are something very practical strategies. Thank you again!!!:-)
Hi Jeffrey Thank you very much for an informative insight into the tips and hints what to do. I am going to work through this in order to grow my Coaching Practice. Coaching is a new concept in Namibia, so how do I get clients to buy Coaching sessions?
thank you very much for all…
success always
Thanks so very much for all of the information that you provide for us on your sites. I am a psychologist just moving over into coaching. I have also gotten a coaching certificate before I came upon your program. I completed my certificate last week, pulled together my office, and set out to find good ways to get clients. That is when I say your information. I will be following you the rest of the way.
good hand on tools…thank you so much.
Incredible information! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will be waiting impatiently for the program. 🙂
I was very Informed with this video..Thank you for giving more Insight on this matter…Looking forward to learning more.
Thank you soooooo much!!! I really needed this!
Thanks for putting this out there. The steps you share pull back the curtain on what it takes to gets started and making the money flow in a short period of time.
You have convinced me to get started, that is a winning move
Thank you for sharing this informative and useful video.
Thank you for taking the time to put this out there. I just finished my certification and I am a little over whelmed on how to get started and this provided a great blueprint.
Loved It,
Danita
Thanks for this insightful video.
You just woke me up from my procrastination.
I would please like to know how to create a world class website for my business .i would also like to know how to do a business plan.
Finally how should I charge for my coaching business.
Thanks
I enjoed this video. I am new to coaching and are getting ready to take some classes to get my certification. My question is Do you coach other coaches? I look forward to your next video.
Audrey,
I generally don’t write proposals unless the engagement has 4+ zeros in ROI for me. Although I do work one on one with a few coaches currently, I’d highly recommend doing one of my courses or programs before considering any direct mentoring from me (it’s much more content and learning than I have time to provide in 1 on 1 coaching + it’s a fraction of the investment).
If you have something specific in mind, feel free to email me and I’ll recommend my advice on how I can help, or the best direction to take.
Jeff
I don’t expect any software to set my appointments for me. I have an assistant do it for me, and if you aren’t in a position to hire an assistant yet, then do it yourself.
That said, there are many good solutions for keeping track of your appointments (once you’ve set them yourself), such as:
1. Google Calendar (I use this solution, and it works great)
2. Outlook
3. iCal (for Mac people)
Jeff
DONE
Jeff
Although the logistics and ‘battle plan’ may need to be altered, consider that how you currently make a living can’t (or shouldn’t) stop you from this vision / goal becoming your reality, especially if it’s your true calling.
I’d even go so far as to say “Part of life’s responsibility is to fully commit to and follow your life’s true calling.” That’s just my belief, however, so you can take it or leave it!
I’m in the process of sending you the info. Any questions you have, feel free to ask!
Jeff
I would start by giving a free coaching session. Once they get value from a session, they’ll be more likely to pay for future sessions.
Jeff
In the beginning, any website will do. I’d suggest that for the first year, you simply get a wordpress blog and write articles in areas of your expertise on the blog. Other than a little bit of branding and information about your coaching, that’ll be plenty.
No need for a business plan when you first start. Instead, you need a SALES PLAN…
A sales plan is a plan for creating coaching clients. If you don’t have the capability to get a paying client, then YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS, and there’s no need for a plan for a business that DOESN’T EXIST.
Your sales plan should clarify:
1. Your sales goal(s)
2. The strategies you’ll use to reach those goals.
3. The types (and amounts) of actions you need to take regularly in order to reach those goals.
I know lots of coaches that use Paypal, but I’d advise using a merchant account to charge your clients.
Just start by charging what you’re comfortable with, and whatever amount your clients are willing to pay.
You can always raise your fees later.
Jeff
Most of the coaching I do now is with/for other coaches (most of them are on my team).
Jeff
Dear Jeff;
I committed to spending time with weekend to researching ways to grow my coaching business, which I have been doing for about 10-years but with some ineffective strategies. Thank you SO MUCH for the step by step process you’ve provided. Your passion and enthusiasm for this field comes through as well as your desire to help others succeed.
Thank you!!!!
Thulani,

Hello
I find the video really interesting i am in the beginning of my carrier to become a coach, Teamcoach. the most valuable tips were, that it is ok to give free coaching in the beginning and then get paid, and to advertise my self on the internet and start a BLOG!
thanks
Maria
I am very interested. I cannot wait to get started full tilt. This is a sure way that can help me make a difference in impacting people’s lives and growing the business as well. Thank you for this program.
Hi Jeff,
I am really interested in wellness coaching, particularly in cancer recovery. Will this program be a good fit for me? Thanks.
Hi Jeff. Got the answer to my question in an earlier comment. Thanks.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video, and would like to be on your team. Not only because of the rich content you provided, but especially because of the step-by-step process and the amazing clarity you provided. I’m just now learn new skills and preparing to be coached to venture out in my own business, and this video is extremely helpful. Thank you very kindly for sharing.
P.S. Please note that my Website is still in construction and not yet active.
Hi Jeff! Thank you so much for sharing this AWESOME and helpful information to get us started with a SUCCESSFUL life coaching business, but most of all thank you for NOT CHARGING people for it. You will continue to be financially blessed for not doing so. It was a tremendous, but reasonably bearable amount of information that was easy to understand and follow. You were able to hold my attention throughout! I believe and am already using some of the techniques you presented, such as giving free sessions. I do not have a strategy for getting the people, because most of my life they just fall into my presence with their problems, and because I have not been able to find work in the new city/state I’ve lived in for 2 years I have decided to be a life coach, since I’m doing it for free anyhow. I have a passion and a calling for doing it.
My question is since I will be contacting people and going to them for these services, once we do the small talk, and I ask if they would like a complimentary session, what do I say to find out what type of session to give them without sounding like they “need help”, or like I’m trying to pry into their business? Because it’s not suppose to be just some random session right? It needs to be something they need. So how would that part of the conversation go?
Also, at what point do you start charging? How do you figure reasonable rates for specific type of sessions?
Again thank you so much! I am looking forward to our next group session! 🙂
This video was very informative. The practical suggestions seem real and obtainable. The idea of committing 5 hours per week doesn’t feel overwhelming. In fact, 5 hours will most likely zoom by and a person can see themselves putting in more time once they get comfortable. I appreciate the simplicity of the approach. Thanks!
Dear Jeff,
I just finished an 8-month course in Fast Track Coaching with Susan Sussman. I consider this course to be one of the most intelligent moves I have ever made. Now comes the hard part – how do I start a coaching business? In watching your video I got so many great answers and actions. Now I have the information to start working as hard and smart as I can to build this dream for myself. You have given me the steps I need to make my start. Someone once said that any start is a good start.
I am SO passionate about this – this is for me!
I am a certified hypnotherapist and hold a Ph.D. in philosophy though I’ve made my living to date in helping business owners market their companies (one of those things I’m a natural at, but didn’t really want to do). However, I feel this is a great addition for me to take my business of helping to higher ground – and not be driving around all day too! I tend to give away too much, and feel depleted by day’s end; so thank you for all this guidance.
Do you offer package deals such as – web sites and video streaming components?
Thank you.
Joyce
Hi Jeff — I found your free course on Udemy. Brilliant idea! One I intend on emulating. I found your video session above very practical, down-to-earth, and implementable.
I look forward to learning more.
And due to many time pressures I manage, even though I’ve done much work over the past 6 months to shift to a time-block time management approach (which works and is super efficient), I’m also on the lookout for ideas and blueprints on how to build self-paced coaching programs — not because I don’t want to invest my time with people, but because I want to optimize time and results.
Gisele
Great video! Very useful. Thanks so much!
Hi Jeff,
Along with everyone else it seems, I found this video very helpful in terms of spelling out the reality of what is needed to become a successful coach. I have a couple of comments and questions.
A number of people are saying the video didn’t work. I was actually one of them. I’d put the video on to play and was making a cup of tea – yes, I know very British – I was listening to the voiceover and kept glancing at the screen, which never seemed to change. My immediate thought was that there was a technical error, and then I realised it was a video of a screen, not the all action blockbuster I’d expected. So my first comment is, maybe you should tell people what to expect. Others may have given up watching when the screen didn’t alter, and that would be a pity because I personally found the slides very helpful.
A question that came to mind as I was listening was the state of the market and the changes that the vast influx of new coaches will bring about. I am aware that coaching in the UK is relatively new, having been around for about 15 years, and is now growing rapidly. In the USA, the market is probably more stable and I’d be interested to know how things progressed across the water as numbers grew and niches expanded. I’ve also noticed from watching a large number of YouTube videos, how ‘over the top’ so many of the American coaches are, or alternatively how many ‘new age’ coaches there are. Clearly the styles are a response to the market they are targeting. Given the understated British reserve (until they’ve had something to drink :-)), I’m not convinced these approaches are always appropriate. I remember phoning a car hire company in the California and hanging up after being bombarded with promises that my car hire experience was going to be so great, and how I would definitely hire from this company again and again. So, have you found a difference in clients in terms of nationality and how they respond to coaching styles?
Cheers,
Rob
I truly enjoyed your video. It was concise and informative. I learned in that half hour a blueprint on getting started. Thank you!
I did not get an email from you! I just found out about udemy this week and yours was the first thing I checked. I absolutely loved your Global Change presentation. I have perused and studied many sources regarding personal coaching and keep thinking I need to get started, but I have always felt like coaching should get me straight first. Now I am ready to get certified and get started! Most of the information is the same, but it is always the presentation and you are so real and down to earth and I am hooked!
Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
Hi jef,
I really need to thank you for your time & effort to transfer your experience & knowledge to people all over the world, I really appreciate that.
but I was wondering, shouldn’t there be a minimum knowledge and learning so that i can start this coaching business, I really do not feel comfortable starting business with my present status, i feel that I lack a lot of information, but the time I feel confident and ready I’ll no doubt follow your steps, they are really precious.
Good Luck & Best Regards
Eman
Jeff I cannot wait to get started. I knew from the first time I listened to your web video that your program best suits my needs. Thank you.
Lupe
Hi Jeff,
A rich harvest of seasoned wisdom, insight and practical steps!
Heartfelt Gratitude, Gregory
Excellent information and very useful. I am just starting to train as a coach and this was by far one of the most informative videos I have watched. I am going to keep coming back….and, once I completed some of the assignments, may show back up for more training! Thank You!
Many thanks for the excellent video. You got so much info across in a clear and concise way. I am planning to start up my own coaching business in the UK and I feel much more confident about my chances of success having watched your information. I love the way you’ve presented the info in a practical and realistic manner.
Thanks once again.
Karen
Hey jeff great stuff can you give me a time or an idea of how much n when you’ll have the course ready I just hope its not a lot as the other’s times are tuff and I would love to get certified by you thanks
Awesome video. I am really motivated and i am more confident to make my first step.
thanks a million
Hi! I am new to this wedbsite. Just exploring how to become a couch. This session alone stretched my vision and expanded myimagination. I’ll continue on this jorney before making a decision.
Thank You!
Oscar
Hello,
Thank you for such an amazing video!
The “interest link” is not working, please help with this
Merci!
Thanks, I was skeptical, but I got real value out of this webcast. I will do the hard work of “cold calling” to offer my contacts free sessions. Just have to come up with an innovative title.
Very informative and educational. Thank you.
Thank you so much.Great information. Very practical approach to starting a business. Excited, eager to learn more about certification for coaching and branding. Best is yet to come!
This was very well crafted! Great Information! Thank you!
I am interested in learning more about your program, the cost, the time frame and time commitment, and anything else you are willing to provide. Thank you again!
This was one of the most informative videos that I have come across in my research for coaching. Not only was it jam packed with lots of great tips, it wasn’t too long and it was free!
Thank you for the video. As this was a free video, I didn’t think I would have gotten this much out of it. The information are very practical and real.
I really want to take advantage of this coaching life. It’s something I’ve wanted to due for a long time. How do I place myself in the right position to encounter a coach to teach me the steps I need to become a successful coach. To guide these kids in the direction of success means alot to me too give back. Seeing my success through them will show my hard work ethic as a coach getting them to the next level in their life. I really want the tools to succeed as a coach. Could you please lead me in the right direction.
Excellent content. If all of your info is this good your program has to be a good one.
Thanks,
Hello
I am an LMSW, currently returning to school to become a Nutrition Health Coach.
It seems, since I have , my license, I can practice as Life Coach.
This video presentation has provided me with a new ways to market my business.
In this video your advice was to give strategy sessions for up to about 2yrs, when do you start charging and how much?
Very, very interesting. I am about to start my training and was wondering how I would get clients. Now I know what to do. Thanks
This was awesome and honest information. Also love the if you do it you should use it motto. As a coach you should also have a coach!!!
Very informative, I really enjoyed the video.
Hello Jeff!!
This was such a draw card for me. I am just entering the workforce after 17 years of motherhood, and some specific training under my belt these last 5 years, and the idea of coaching has come up as a possibility. It has been great to receive some very practicle tools in how to get started. I love your honesty and steady ‘it aint gonna happen over night but boy its worth it’ strategy!
Making money is certainly attractive, but I think there is more joy from doing a job well than how much you get paid. If I’m going to coach people I want them to come back because what I’ve taught them works.
I would have liked to see your face during the presentation, though your voice sounded sincere, faces add that extra value and connection.
This was a wonderful video – thank you for the time! I have not been in the workforce for over 20 years (raising 6 kiddos) and have recently become a certified life coach. I an super excited to share what I know with others but have really been struggling with “HOW” to find clients…You gave some wonderful specifics that I look forward to implementing. Thank you for sharing some of the nuts and bolts to starting up a coaching practice. I can see the value in what you shared. Would love more!
Great hands-on advice! Captivating talk, motivating and practical. I am not a life coach yet but I am considering it. This is helpful.
What type of clients do you have? Is there any particular thing people looking for a coach have in common? Another question: do you think that being able to provide coaching services in 3 languages can be a bonus? – I’m trilingual
Hi, greetings from Mumbai, India. This is a great video. While I was aware of a lot of the points you made about developing my coaching and training business, the way you put it together brought new insights about the whole attitude or footing to growing my business. I whole heartedly thank you . Warm regards, Indrajit

I have strong values listing family health and community development especially here at home in New Orleans listed right at the top. Since graduate school in pursuit of LPC licensure (1900 direct client to counselor face sessions being paid very little to eventually be licensed and start up. Main problem: I do not work well micromanaged nor do allow disrespect hence over 3 resignations back to back while divorcing. I have yet to find the right fit because I already knew I need to work for me, at the standard I hold myself to, which graduating with honors, letters of recognition, awards, certified nationally (4 hour exam that many many master level therapists do not pass). Professors asked for me to present at conferences and publish my academic papers for the university’s prestigious reaccreditation. I was employed the Monday after I was given my masters degree across stage. There was always a reason I didn’t fit. I don’t work well with being barked orders and I work hard so I expect my team to work hard. But like grad school. I did the work and spoke my mind as advocate and personal choice which many supervisors and directors find… and I quote, “crazy,” and, “not a good fit.” This response after months of preparation and organizational planning issues that were dumped on my desk for me to “deal with.” I have gone above and beyond for employers without any recognition, only more issues. And numbers of assigned clients that my NBCC ethics board would find impossible. I burnt out and lost many assets. I am restarting and not only am I more motivated than ever before, but I have no interest in the LPC whatsoever and it’s been such a huge relief. I have been researching for my start up for about 2 months now and I’ve set 30 Days to launch the website and prepare for what I really could hardly describe on a general plan template. Then I found this place of hope and inspiration. Specific ways to make the 115k annual that I know I am worth. I had a general understanding of your main points, but now it all came together and I truly thank you for that because I know I am the coach who would give double the time for the work if it meant that I was soon to see clients succeed, seminars, podcasts. It’s been 3 years since my divorce and I am still with elderly parents since I could not keep my 4 bedroom home. I see the fit finally. I can be me and not be told what to do when the frames on my office walls should have clearly said I know what to do. With an up and coming area in New Orleans, the coaching industry really is drowned out by the therapists and MDs. I needed your webinar and more. And can I please schedule a Strategy session ASAP with you. I would be honored and compensate you anyway. Thank you for helping those of us not just starting, but starting over. I cannot believe I found such a great site. There really are some below standard coaching sites to say the least. Again, thank you.
Sincerely and sending a arrow of love for your amazing knowledge shared for free.

This video was so rich! In 40 minutes I learned more than 2 months worth of non stop internet searching, reading articles about this subject, blogs, etc. Thank you so much. This was very inspirational and I can’t wait to get certified as a Life Coach and put in the work so I can be on my way to success!
I have just enrolled in the online course to become a paid life coach. I downloaded the video and will watch it offline. In my coaching practice when I start it I intend to use meditation techniques as well and i want to focus more on people who are stuggling to overcome past physical and sexual abuse as I have so that they will be able to move on and move forward with a more productive life and not let their past control their future. To set goals and accomplish them without any negativity holding them back.
Hi Jeff,
Found you from you free Udemy course. I plan on starting coaching in the mental health niche. I run support groups and basically am a counselor but use life experience and have no degree.
Thought maybe I can do coaching and help people with mental health goals such as helping people with social anxiety meet friends.
How long do you recommend for a free session?
Also I would be interested in more training?
Thanks,
John
Thank you so much
This video help me a lot to Learn about this service
Wow! That was great, Jeff! Informative, succinct, useful, and a wonderful contribution. I’m turning into a big fan. Suggestions for upcoming vids? Follow up systems to help keep a client engaged and continue momentum towards their goals in between coaching sessions. Thanks for this video, I’ll be standing by. P.S. Many Blessings to you in 2019!
As someone starting out in this field after years of experience, with a lot to offer and everything to play for, this video is superb. It has helped me to focus on a structure and to action the right priorities in the right order. Thank you!
This was a very effective way of presenting a framework that I can use to begin my coaching business and avoid pitfalls that might discourage me from continuing. It was helpful to see what I am about to do as modular and manageable. I am interested in learning about ways to protect myself with insurance and if there is a group program for insurance that I may participate in as I begin.
this was a very informative beginner course on becoming a coach. Thank you. As I continue to search and start to build, your site will be near the top of my list.
Great video to trigger new ideas from a business perspective.
Thank you Jeff
Good video, well presented. It served by reinforcing and reminding me of certain steps. I really hadn’t considered the automating of the internet traffic, excellent.
Great round up of effective coaching. It is like grabbing sea from your ship with a birds eye view
Most important
Kindly guide how to Automate the site in detail with available tools.
Because to see oneself multiplied is convincing.
This video had my attention from start. Some of this information I’ve seen before, but not presented like this. Jeff, you did your thing, and we enjoyed it!!
