Never Forget Why You’re Becoming a Business Coach

Never Forget Why You’re Becoming a Business Coach

April 01, 20182 min read

The stress and struggle of building a business coaching practice isn’t always easy. So in those moments that you feel discouraged, never forget why you’re becoming a business coach in the first place.

Never forget that you’re looking for an opportunity to control your time and own your destiny.

Don’t forget that business coaching allows you to work from home or from the road, raking in huge hourly rates–I’m talking about $250 to $750–just for sharing your knowledge with others.

And then, of course, there’s what you can do with that kind of income.

You can give generously to your favorite missions and charities…

You can take your family on vacation…

Get season ticket floor seats to your favorite sports team…

And have the time to enjoy it.

In 2004, my third year as a business coach, I pulled in over $400,000–AND took 8 weeks off. I was cash rich and time rich, too.

How to Keep Focused on What Matters Most

It can be tough to remember this stuff day in and day out.

But it’s achievable, as long as you hold on to your dreams and pursue them passionately. Because the common thread I’ve seen running through the lives of all the successful people I know is that they have a reason for doing what they do–a deeply personal, intensely powerful reason.

Keep your reason in the forefront of your mind, and you WILL achieve it.

It’s just the way the world works.

To help you with this, I’d like to give you one of my favorite resources for keeping YOUR reasons in the forefront of your own mind. It’s called the “Vision Book” and you can download a template here.

Download it. Customize it. And, most importantly, marinate in it each morning before you start your day and each evening before you go to bed. You’ll be amazed at how much faster you can pull your future into the present if you do this each day!
