In the third episode of the "Find Your Perfect Coaching Niche" mini-series, we explore four powerful approaches to ensure your chosen niche is profitable.

Does it feel scary to choose a niche in your run coaching business? Like maybe you're leaving runners out when you narrow down who you work with and how you market yourself online? On this episode of the Runner Rising Academy podcast, I interview a recent graduate of the Runner Rising Academy, Dafne Valle. Dafne joined RRA just 1 month after completing her RRCA run coach certification. She had no idea where to start, was hesitant to share photos of herself on social media, and was not planning to niche down. However, within 1 month of joining RRCA, she not only chose a niche but got her first 3 clients by specializing in Run Disney races. During this interview, we discuss how to choose a niche, why it can feel scary to decide to help just one type of runner (and why you will still get clients outside of your niche anyway!), and more. Dafne also shares her experience in the Runner Rising Academy, sharing that she feels the program helped her learn more in 3 months than she likely would have in years on her own. The September Cohort of the Runner Rising Academy, the only business growth program for Run Coaches, is now enrolling! This 3 month small group program will help you create a marketing system to help you bring in new run coaching clients month after month. You will get trainings & resources AND individual feedback and support in this small group environment and make powerful connections with other motivated run coaches. You can save $500 when you join by Monday, September 16th at midnight and enrollment officially closes on September 19th at midnight.

Do you see how that can't be a niche?If you're a business coach, leadership coach, health coach or what have you, you are doing life coaching and that's because a person's life is not perfectly segmented out.

Most on the call were not yet earning a living at coaching and all were finding it difficult to repeatedly attract paying clients.It turned out that each coach was selling life coaching, health coaching, confidence coaching — something like that. Their website, social posts and offers focused on the general benefits of coaching. People who had free sessions weren't reliably progressing to paid packages.This is a common problem for coaches and it's my mission to change that.I could see that 2 main things were keeping these coaches from financial success:1. They were not addressing BIG ENOUGH PROBLEMS for their audience. 2. They were not charging high enough fees to help them stay in business.Those 2 things are about mindset. It was time for the coaches to shift from student mode to professional mode to attract clients who do invest.Let's tease this apart ...

There's an art to attracting clients.

People would find me in listings or by referral, keep buying sessions for years, and refer friends. A few years in, no coach I knew had a business like that. It set me to studying successful coaches.Now, I like to test a coaching niche idea and see if it has “legs”. The coaches I work with look for confirmation in 2 ways:1.     Their chosen audience is viable — actively seeking solutions and willing to invest in resources.2.     Their niche is designed to fit their audience's stated big goals and the problems in the way.This keeps my clients from coaching niche mistakes that would slow them down.

Nail Your Niche - 90 minute strategy session with Rhonda HessAlso mentioned, Sofia von Celsing, coach to high achieving women leaders.Why do some coaching niches never pay off?Coaches, with their big hearts, tend to focus on what their audience NEEDS. But I found out through trial and error that marketing a coaching niche that focuses around needs rarely results in enough clients or income. And I think coaching around needs can wander extremely close to therapy.People buy support to get what they need from known resources like therapists or doctors.Coaches that focus their niche, marketing and offers around what their specific audience WANTS —their BIG goals and the BIG problems in that way of achieving those goals — will get more traction, attract more clients and earn more. And by the way — those are things you want.Another reason why certain coaching niches fail is that not all target audiences are viable — by that I mean the audience is easy to access, full of seekers and eager to evolve. Let's dig into that and I'll have lots of examples for you. Rhonda Hess helps new coaches leverage their zone of genius into a profitable coaching niche and launch with confidence.
