it into a VERY easy decision for you to get started…
The Greater Purpose of Coaching In the World
Do you want to see the ‘Big Picture’ of
how coaching impacts people and the whole
world? Here it is…
(I think you’re going to love this!)
*** How coaching impacts people. ***
Have you read the book ‘Power vs. Force’
by Dr. Hawkins? In this book, he lays out a
‘map of consciousness’. This is a detailed
scale of how evolved a person is (or a group
of people, or humanity as a whole).
As we grow through a challenge, we become more
and more evolved. This happens slowly over time and
sometimes in big leaps forward. This has been happening
throughout history and according to the book, we have been
evolving over time (although, very slowly).
There are two types of challenges we face that give
us an opportunity to grow and evolve. The first kind are
the ones that life imposes upon us (the death of a loved
one, personal tragedies, etc.).
The second type of challenge is the kind we take upon
ourselves (finding a new love, starting a business, etc.).
We are all subject to the first type of challenge. And
even with personal tragedies, we’re given the opportunity
to grow from them, or to regress. Growing through a personal
tragedy can mean learning acceptance, gratitude, and peace.
And…
To varying degrees, most of us will pursue the second type of
challenge. These come from our goals, dreams, and desires.
But…
When achieving our goals and dreams gets tough, the
majority of people give up and throw in the towel. I know I’ve
given up on some of my dreams in the past. Nearly all of us do it.
And when we do, we shrink. But…
**** Take Up The Challenge! ***
When you take up the challenge, you grow and
evolve. When you have a dream, goal, or desire
that challenges you, you’re forced to either give up
or grow to achieve it.
When you give up, you get weaker. When
you grow, you get stronger and you evolve.
Even if you never reach the goal, you grow in
pursuing it. And that’s where coaching comes in.
Never before in history has there been so much support
available to help people achieve their goals and dreams! What
this means is that it’s easier for us to keep growing.
With coaching, we can have someone keep us on track, help
us learn the lessons faster, and support us in making progress.
We don’t have to be stuck in fear or despair. We can keep moving
and by doing so keep growing and evolving.
**** The Greater Purpose Of Coaching In The World ****
The greater purpose of coaching then, is to speed up
the evolution and spiritual enlightenment of the planet. More
people are sticking with their goals and dream these days.
Less people are shrinking away. All because of coaching.
This speeds up our evolution as a whole and moves us to a
place where we are more evolved and enlightened.
What will that be like? I don’t know. Perhaps we’ll live in a
world free of war and filled with peace. Perhaps the environment
will be safe. Perhaps there will be more love in the world. Better
science? The end of poverty? Who knows. One thing that’s for sure…
We aren’t evolving to an ‘end point’. It’s a
never ending process and all of life is a part of it.
Everything has its place, from the trees, to the
ocean, from microbes to people, and of course, us…
coaches.
We’re speeding up the pace of human evolution!
Exciting, isn’t it?!!
That’s one reason my mantra is…
‘People Need Our Help. Let’s get people coached!’
Why Is Coaching So Popular?
Have you ever wondered why coaching is ‘exploding’?
More people are hiring coaches every day and more
people are becoming coaches every day.
According to Start-Up Magazine, ‘Coaching is the number two
growth industry right behind IT (Information Technology) jobs, and
it’s the number one home-based profession.’
Since being featured in Forbes, MSN, & Yahoo, I’ve
been getting lots of requests by people looking for a good coach.
These requests are coming from individuals and from businesses
in Corporate America. Plus…
With TV shows about coaching (like ‘Starting Over’, and
‘Get The Guy), and spoofs about coaching on the John Stewart
show, I think it’s safe to say that coaching is now mainstream.
Everybody’s doing it! But why?
I can’t say for sure, but I think believe there
are a few reasons for it.
First of all, our culture has changed very fast over
the last 20 years. Things that seemed crazy 20 years
ago are now held and accepted as true. Ideas like:
- People do change and can change themselves
- You should listening to and being guided by your intuition
- You are the creator of your reality
All of these ideas (and many others) that were really
‘out there’ before, now seem to make perfect sense.
And coaching is an extension of that.
Another reason coaching is getting so ‘big’ is
that people aren’t as willing to ‘settle’ as they were
in the past. Today people want more. We want better
relationships, better cars and homes, better lives, and
better careers!
Can you imagine life in the 1800′s? Back then
your life would hardly ever change. If you were
born on a farm, you’d be a farmer. That’s about
all there was to it.
Today, if you were born on a farm (as unlikely as that is
these days), you could become a farmer, but you wouldn’t
have to. You’d have lots of options. Today we have options
and we want more!
People who are serious about change know that they
need to make it happen themselves. But, they also know
that they may not be able to do it alone.
People turn to coaching for more discipline, focus,
direction, guidance, wisdom, understanding, and ultimately
to get the results they want that they couldn’t get on
their own. And…
That’s why corporations want their people
coached. They are starting to ‘get’ that people
are capable of much more, but usually don’t live
up to their potential. But, with a coach, results
almost always improve! Sometimes dramatically.
‘I absolutely believe that people, unless coached,
never reach their maximum potential’.
–Bob Nardelli, CEO, Home Depot
There is a huge demand for coaching in the world
(if you know how to market and sell your coaching
services) and if you’re interested in learning more about the
coaching profession, I recommend that you take a look at:
‘How To Quickly Get Started In Professional Coaching:
The Hidden Truth About What It Really Takes!’
This is my book on the ‘ins and outs’ of the coaching

you anywhere else)!

”Making it as Professional Coach”
If you love the idea of helping people,
making a difference in people’s lives, and watching
people grow, then coaching is the best ”career” or
business to be in.
Not only is it rewarding emotionally, it
can also be very rewarding financially. But,
do most coaches really make the ”big bucks”?
Sadly, no. Most coaches aren’t making the
big money in coaching. Why?
Although coaching jobs are on the rise,
they are still ”few and far between” compared
to the number of coaches in the world. And…
Growing your own coaching business can be
a real challenge. Although there are some
people who can go from Zero to 6 figures
in 90 days (one of my clients did this), it
isn’t realistic to expect that this will happen
for everyone.
That said, after 7 years of coaching and
growing my business slowly over time, I love:
- having a job I truly enjoy
- setting my own hours
- the positive challenge of growing my own business
- working just 4 days a week (I take Friday’s off)
- living my dream life (resort style condo in San Diego,
dream girl, dream car, vacations, etc.)
- Making 6 figures
*** The BIG Question ***
OK, so now the big question:
”Can ‘anyone’ make a great living as
a professional coach?”
The answer is a gigantic, ”YES!”.
But, *will* everyone make a great living
as a professional coach? ”No”. Everyone CAN
do it. But, not everyone will.
As with all businesses there’s a lot to
learn. For most coaches, sales and marketing
are usually the tough parts. Most coaches focus
on training to BE a good coach. But…
Many coaches fail to train to become
good at running a successful coaching business.
Why? It *seems* easier and more fun to learn coaching
than sales and marketing. But, learning to market
and sell can be just as fun. In fact, they can actually
be part of the coaching process. Still…
Most people don’t think they’ll enjoy it
and most end up not enjoying it. I believe that the
main reason is usually because of what people think
selling and marketing ”is”. What is it to you?
Is it… tricking, manipulating, or pushing people
into doing something they don’t want to do? Or…
Is it… getting to know people, what their dreams
and desires are, what their challenges are -and
then, *inspiring*, *motivating*, and *getting them into
action* in some way (sometimes the action will be to
buy something from you if that’s what’s best for
them). By the way…
This is how I see sales and marketing.
Especially when marketing and selling coaching.
A) Getting to know people (what they want, and
what they want to change).
B) Connecting with them (in person, phone, or
through the web).
C) Inspiring and motivating them to take action!
In fact, I see marketing and selling as coaching
in and of itself. As coaches, we’re in a unique position
to market and sell in a way that actually makes a difference
in people’s lives! And, that’s the way I teach sales and
marketing too.
If you haven’t gone full speed ahead with
the idea of growing your coaching business
then I’d like to introduce you to the best
resources to help you get going.
1) ”How to Quickly Get Started in Professional
Coaching: The Truth About What It Really Takes!”

******************************************
Questions? Let me know. I’m here in service
of the coaching community!
Proof that your coaching works…
1 of the keys to being a super successful
coach is to get great testimonials. Testimonials
are like proof. They create certainty in the minds
of your prospects that they’ll be able to get similar
results.
Certainty is good, especially when people wonder
if coaching will work for them.
Testimonials are a very important way to increase
the certainty that you coaching will work for them too.
I recommend that you make it one of your goals over
the next 30 days to get 5 glowing testimonials.
Here’s the 3 step process:
#1) Make it a condition of a client hiring you.
Ask ahead “Can we use your success
story to inspire others after you achieve
the success you’re looking for?”
#2) Make your coaching program results oriented.
What I mean is that you are focusing
your program on 1 overall result. Examples…
Lose weight, get in shape, find the love of your
life, stop your divorce, grow your business, find a
job, etc.
This will help your coaching program
be stronger and will help you stay focused
for your clients.
3) Ask for the testimonial to be in a
specific format.
The best testimonials are personal and
unique, yet share a story like…
“I was feeling XYZ because of ABC, then
I hired Christian and now I’m feeling DEF
and I have result EFG! Christian and I worked
on HIJKLMNOP and I couldn’t recommend him enough!”
People like to see results and numbers.
Take a look at some of my actual testimonials
and see if you can identify the pattern. Go here to
take a look at one of my programs and
the testimonials that I use…
They don’t all fit this pattern, but most do.
Watch This Coaching Video
Good news,
I have a treat for you.
Block out 18 minutes, turn off your phone,
and watch this video where I share with
you the five areas you’ll focus on when
working with clients to get results.
You will learn even more about what
coaching is, how it works, and how to
get started…
Enjoy!
More Confidence, More Monkey, More Clients
Do you want more ‘monkey’? I’m using
the word ‘monkey’ to represent the similar
word for currency (monkey – k = ?). I’m doing
this to help ensure this email gets to you
(and avoids the spam filters). And…
Today’s article is serious ‘monkey’ business.
Here’s the coaching formula for more ‘monkey’.
Are you ready for it? Here it is…
**** More Sales Equals More ‘Monkey’ ****
Now sales can mean ‘product sales’ if you
sell products, or it can mean ‘client enrollments’.
Even though I’m a big fan of product sales, it’s
actually much easier to generate $1000 or more
from coaching than product sales (unless you
have an email list of at least 2,000 people).
Therefore, I’m going to share a powerful
‘technique’ with you for getting more coaching
clients this month!
**** How To Be Super Powerful ****
Do you ever stumble and ‘stub your toe’
so to speak, while giving your free coaching
sessions? Or how about during a presentation
or a ’30 second commercial/introduction’ at
a networking event? If you ever run into these
kinds of situations where you stumble your
way through, then you’re going to love this…
You’re about to learn how to immediately
increase your confidence in ANY situation so that
you can ‘show up’ at those critical ‘moments of
truth’ where your business success depends on
you being at your best.
If you ever feel nervous when you know you need
to be ‘smooth’, here’s a way to give yourself
*instant confidence* at any moment. But, you can
stop reading right now if you aren’t willing to
actually try this exercise right now! Why?
Because, if you don’t try this right now,
your mind will intellectualize what you’re
about to learn and dismiss it. You won’t ‘get’
it in a way that will translate into actual
benefit unless you practice what I’m about
to share at least 1 time right now.
**** The 60 Second ‘Power’ Exercise ****
Here’s the exercise:
Step 1: Put your posture the way you
would be if you were sad. Do it right
now. Then put the expression on your face
that you would have if you were sad right now.
How do you feel? A little sad?
Step 2: Stand up (really do this right now)
and shake your body out. Then, stand tall and
upright with your head up high and a confident
(almost cocky) expression on your face! The kind
of expression you’d have it you were thinking
‘That’s right, I’m the best!’ ‘I rock!’
Notice how you feel now. Don’t you
have more energy and confidence how than
you did when you were in the first position?
Step 3: (This step is only for those who
want *wild success* and are willing to step
into the outrageous zone to do it). Jump
up and down as if you just hit a grand slam
home run to win the world series. Do it!
(and remember to make the wooo-hooo noises!)
Now how amazing do you feel now?!!
*** How Your Body Creates Confidence ***
Your body can tell your mind how to feel.
When you move your body in a way that creates
confidence, you feel confident.
This confidence will carry with you when
you are having your initial session with clients
so that they are more likely to hire you. It will
be with you when you are at networking events and
you introduced yourself. And it will be a powerful
tool for every area of your life.
You’ll only realize the power of this technique
if you actually did the exercises above. If you didn’t
do it yet, do it know. It only takes 1 min.
Putting it into action. Before a ‘critical’
moment in your business (or life) take a second
to move your body in a way that makes you feel
great! The more extreme you are in your movements,
the bigger the shift in your emotional energy.

2 Important Notes:
1. If you want to learn more ways to change
mental and emotional states, quickly and
permanently, I recommend that you check out
the Rapid Coaching Academy.
http://www.RapidCoachingAcademy.com
2. Confidence will get you VERY far with
your ability to get clients to hire you
during your free sessions. But, confidence
isn’t always, enough. It’s always great if
you have a *System For Enrollment*. Here’s
a system for you.
A. Find out what they want.
B. Find out what their challenges are.
C. Explain your coaching system.
D. Create a bridge between the first 2 (above)
and your coaching system so that they can
see how your coaching will help them overcome
their challenges and reach their goals.
E. Package your coaching into an ‘irresistible offer’
that they can’t help but say ‘yes’ to.
If you’d like to learn this enrollment system

‘Let’s Get People Coached!’
Why I Needed a Coach | Secrets From My Past
Some people refer to me as ‘Super Coach’
because they see me as a leader in the coaching
industry.
My wife calls me ‘super coach’
because sometimes I wear a baseball cap that
says ‘coach’ on it.
After coaching for 10 years, being featured
in Forbes, MSN, Yahoo, et all, what most people
don’t know about me may be down right shocking!
You’re about to hear secrets from my past
at the lowest point in my life!
I was young and naïve. I just bought my first
house at age 24 and 6 months later I quit my job
with no other job lined up and a big fat mortgage!
(real smart)
During this time, I got a business idea and
started sinking time and money into it. But, I had
to pay the bills so I looked for a job.
It took me 4 months to find another job. Even
though after the first day I knew it was a job I
would HATE, I figured I would only be working there
for a few months anyway because my business would be
rocking by then.
1 year later, my business was nowhere, I
dreaded my job, someone that I worked with was
teasing me and down-right harassing me in front
of everyone in the office (with no consequences).
I wanted to cry!
Almost everyday was a nightmare for me. I also
wasn’t exercising anymore and I was in the worst
shape of my life, and my girlfriend (now ex) and
I were having major problems!
Can you feel my pain? I felt weak, powerless,
and a mess.
But, underneath it all was a part of me that
knew I wasn’t being all I could be, giving my all,
or living up to my potential.
As bad as I felt I couldn’t really blame anyone
but me. In fact, the coworker that was harassing me,
harassed other people at work all the time, but he
never used to say anything to me, when I was stronger.
It was my own weakness that he sensed like a
shark smelling blood in the water.
This was the lowest point in my life. I felt
stuck and I didn’t know where to turn.
That’s when I hired my first coach. Working
with Colleen literally turned my life around.
Immediately I started exercising again and
working on my business. Surprisingly the harassment
at work tapered off and then stopped completely.
9 months later…
I quit my job to go full time in my own business,
I was in great shape, I ended my rocky relationship,
and was with an exciting new love.
I can’t say I’ve been without challenges since then.
Life always has challenges for us. They never stop.
But, I handle them much more quickly and I always
give myself the support I need to make the necessary
changes.
Yes, there are growing pains. No, my life isn’t
perfect all times. But…
Years later, I really am living the life of my
dreams (dream, car, dream home, dream city, dream
vacations, dream wife, etc.).
That’s why I’m so passionate about *getting
people coached*!
Many coaches spend years and years in training
and then more years working on getting certified
(which isn’t needed one bit), and still aren’t coaching
anyone (or very few people). Why?
For one reason, they’re putting most of their
time and focus on training. My first coach didn’t
graduate from her coaching school -let alone certified.
My current coach never went to any formal coach
training school and isn’t certified either!
I’m not saying training is useful, helpful, or
beneficial. I’m just saying that people over emphasize
training, and credentials, and under focus on sales
and marketing.
If you want to get started in coaching quickly,
then I recommend the ‘Rapid Coaching Academy’. This is
a training program I developed and have been using
to train my own coaching team for the last 3 years.
If you’re interested in getting training that is:
=> Real world based
=> Has a proven track record of success
(with my clients and those my coaching
team works with)
=> Is very powerful, yet extremely simple (simple
means you can learn it and do it easily).
=> Doesn’t take a lifetime to learn (which means
you can start working with clients right away) and
=> Doesn’t cost a fortune (the fees you get from 1 client
will cover the cost of the entire program) and
=> backed by a 100% happiness guarantee, then

If you are already confident in your abilities
as a coach and you just want to focus on getting
more clients, then I definitely recommend,
“Free Sessions That Sell.”
You can read all about that program, including

You here…

The bottom line: People need coaching, coaching
makes a difference in people’s lives, and you could
be enjoying working with lots of great clients while
making a great living doing something you really love!
Don’t let anything stand in your way.
If you don’t get the support you want and need
from me, get it somewhere.

The Coach Fantasy | Why You Can LOVE Marketing From Now On
Have you ever wished your coaching
business would work like this? …
* You have 10-20 clients that all rave about you
* They pay you handsomely
* They all recommend other potential clients to you
* You NEVER have to worry about getting new clients or
if your current clients will leave because you have a
waiting list!
* You never do any marketing because there’s no need
* 1 or more of your clients are ”famous” and you
enjoy the prestige it brings you
* All of your work time is spent coaching, you make a
generous living and have tons of free time
It may be possible to be in this place.
Unfortunately, it’s highly un-likely and you certainly
can’t count on it.
Now…
If you can relate to this ”dream” coaching set-up,
you’re not alone. In fact, many coaches have this
”secret fantasy” of not having to do anything to
get clients! But…
As coaches we really want to be ”of service”
to the world. We want to make a difference in people’s
lives. And when we coach people we do just that!
But, if you only coach a handful of people 1-on-1,
in 10 years you may touch 100-200 people. 500 max!
Now…
If you really want to make an impact on the world
in a big way, then there’s something you must look at in
a new way. -Marketing! But *NOT* because of how it
will help you get more clients. Let me explain..
You see, most coaches don’t enjoy marketing.
And I totally understand that. Most of the reasons
you might not like marketing could be because you
have were taught to do weak or ”faulty” marketing
methods that don’t work, or work poorly.
But, I want to challenge you to think about
marketing in a different way and for different reasons.
As a coach, your job is to ”facilitate growth and
change”. What you may not realize is that marketing
materials can facilitate growth and change in and of
themselves! Let me back up a step here…
Coaching is the facilitation of growth and change.
I get ”coached” by books, movies, friends, strangers,
etc. I say that ”everything and everyone around me
is my coach”.
Now a professional coach is someone that I will
PAY to facilitate growth and change. (That’s what
professional means, simply that you get paid for what
you do.) So, when I say that…
Your marketing materials can help people and,
in fact, they can coach people… what I mean is that
people can be exposed to your marketing materials and
experience a transformation just from what you
communicate.
Here are a few quick, personal examples:
1) I went to this website on ”attracting a new car”. It
was a little ”hokey” and over-the-top, so I didn’t buy
anything. But, it inspired me to put my dream car as
a high priority and I ended up getting it a few months
later! Then…
2) I have a program on ”time abundance” (the only
one on the planet), and I hear people tell me that
they feel a major shift around time just from reading
the promo page for it! And…
3) I got an email from a gentleman a few weeks ago
that read my promo page for the ”Free Sessions That
Sell: Client Enrollment System” and he emailed me
telling me how he felt more confident talking to a
prospective client and got the client, just from
reading the webpage! And, what’s cool is…
In all of these examples no one purchased
anything, but we all had a ”transformation” from
being ”coached” by the marketing materials.
Marketing materials make a difference in the
world all by themselves! So…
Does this mean that we don’t want our marketing
materials to make us money?
Of course we still NEED to keep generating
revenue. If we don’t generate revenue, there’s
something wrong.
And we won’t be able to sustain ourselves and
keep helping people. We need our marketing to produce
sales. But…
Your marketing materials and strategies can do
BOTH. They can help people AND generate sales and
revenue!
Here are some quick ”shifts” to the way you think
about marketing that can make it more fun, and make
you far more effective with it.
1) Start creating your marketing materials to serve
people instead of to sell people. Of course you want
results for yourself especially for all the work you
put into it, but the more you focus on creating your
marketing in a way that creates value, the more you’ll
*feel good about marketing*. The more you feel good
about it, the more you’ll do it!
2) To be a great coach, you need to have rapport with
your clients. To be a great marketer, you also need to
have rapport. The best way to gain rapport is to
understand your clients in the deepest way. If you ”get”
their secret desires, pains, struggles, etc. and connect
with them through your marketing communications, you”ll
have a deep and lasting bond.
3) Inspire people with your marketing! Show them
what is possible. Extreme results can be ”over-the
top”, but if they’re true they can also be inspiring!
Also, testimonials of other people’s results can be
inspiring. As a coach, part of your job is to inspire
your clients. Same with your marketing.
4) Great coaching is about ACTION. Focus on creating
marketing materials that get people into action. Part
of that action is to buy your product, program, or to
have an intro. session with you. And part of the action
might be to do something different, or in a different way
or to finally get of their butt and actually ”go for it”.
5) ”GET” that when your marketing efforts motivate
people to buy your products or services, the people
who buy are going win ”BIG TIME”. If you’ve ever
felt bad about ”selling stuff”, part of the reason
probably has to do with overlooking how much impact
you will have on your client. When they buy, they ”win”!
BOTTOM LINE: Marketing, done well, adds value
and ”coaches” the group of people you want to serve.
