I'll help you find your niche and sell it
I help introverts over 40 re-invent themselves by combining their experience and passions to find their coaching niche, in order to have a positive impact on themselves and others.
Then help you get your first client, while keeping your day job
Smart? Old? Creative? Organisations may not want you.
You could be a threat to their Systems, Egos and Jobs
However, when you have a positive impact on an individual, as a coach,
the opposite happens. They'll thank you AND tell others about you.
Generalists get ignored - Niches get clients

Coaching is not about getting-rich-quick. Even if money is the only result you want,
the pathway to get money, starts with finding your gift and solving problems with a helpful website. Then, some of those you've helped will become your clients to teach, heal, inspire or entertain.
Do this now
1) Niche so you
don't confuse people
2) Create helpful content,
don't convince people
Do this never
Persuasion and Manipulation.
Get-rich-quick.
Get staff or an office.
Be serious allll the time.
Do this later, maybe
Social media.
Groups, courses and books. Higher prices.
Quit your day job.
