After watching thousands of coaches build their careers and coaching businesses over the past decade, I’ve seen all the most highly successful coaches focus on the same 5 things.

These go beyond surface level business tactics like building a list, posting on social media or trying to gain a massive following.

Remember when people used to ask you “What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a kid, no matter what you said, everyone would be so PROUD of your answer!

“I wanna be a life coach!”

Okay, maybe the last one wasn’t on the list of “Kid’s Most Popular Answers”, but as an adult transitioning from one career into another – you’re likely expecting a much less enthusiastic response from…
