When seeking steps for starting a profitable coaching business, some may tell you to have a platform to coach on first. Others will tell you to start with a purpose or a why. These are important parts of creating a coaching practice; however, designing your client creation or client acquisition strategies first and figuring out your cash flow management system can be powerful ways to jumpstart your coaching practice.In this episode, I discuss creating cash through client acquisition and managing your cash flow. I explain why doing free coaching sessions in the hopes of spreading word-of-mouth is not a reliable or scalable client creation tactic. I discuss what profit is and why you need to earn money above and beyond your business's expenses. I also describe what makes an effective cash flow management system and underscore how effectively managing your cash flow can improve the way you coach clients.“Your client acquisition system needs to be built so that as long as you put in the right inputs—effort, time, or money—the right way consistently, you get the right results consistently.” - Jos WillardThis week on Profit for Coaches:●      The value of setting up a client acquisition process first●      Why you need to focus on working with your ideal clients only●      Building your cash flow management system●      How effectively managing cash flow can impact your coaching●      The FREE eBook you can access today!Resources Mentioned:●      Book: The Prosperous Coach: Increase Income and Impact for You and Your Clients by Steve Chandler●      Book: Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling by Michael Port●      Book: Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action by Simon SinekOur Favorite Quotes:●      “Profit is the creation of stability in any business.

Managing your cash flow means having a simple, easy-to-use system that works with the way you show up as a human.” - Jos Willard●      “You need a system that creates new clients for you, and it needs to be a system that doesn't require you to be a salesperson or marketing expert.” - Jos WillardHelping Coaches Increase ProfitsThanks for tuning into this week's episode of Profit for Coaches.

Having a profitable coaching practice can look different for everyone. To some, it's about taking on a certain number of clients. To others, it means earning six or seven figures in revenue every year. To me, having a profitable coaching practice means having a business that pays you well and allows you flexibility. A profitable coaching practice supports your family and lifestyle—it excites you and allows you to make choices based on your values. Sounds exciting?In this episode, I discuss the four things required to have a thriving, profitable coaching business or practice. I explain the importance of smart budgeting, regardless of your revenue. I describe the need for a solid, uncomplicated client acquisition process. I also highlight the importance of building a business model that supports content delivery and underscore what it means to have a transformational focus in your coaching practice.“Your practice needs to focus on more than transactions, money, and clients— your practice has to create an impact.” - Jos WillardThis week on Profit for Coaches:●      The four things every successful coaching practice has●      The importance of building a solid client acquisition process●      The value of managing your cash flow●      Bringing a transformational focus to your coaching business●      The FREE eBook you can access today!Resources Mentioned:●      Book: Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling by Michael PortOur Favorite Quotes:●      “A truly profitable coaching practice makes an impact on your world—and you have to decide what your world is.” - Jos Willard●      “Your client acquisition process does not have to be hard or complex.

Creator of the popular Facebook group Coaches, Authors, Entrepreneurs: Step into the Spotlight, Vanessa is also the Author of the international selling Inspirational book for women, Extraordinary YOU: The art of living a lusciously spirited, vibrant life. Playing Small Moment Vanessa was playing small when she had a mining company with her husband. She realized that business was his dream, not hers - they ended up getting a divorce. Vanessa never fought for what she deserved because she didn’t like conflict. She had to start all over again from scratch. Vanessa knew she had to find another way to earn an income while still maintaining the same lifestyle she had grown to love. The Wake Up Call As a shy introvert, Vanessa did all the admin and financial work at the mining company, but when she started her coaching business Vanessa had to be the face of her brand. She was approached by a media celebrity in Australia for her advice. Vanessa challenged that friendship until she ended up losing it because she felt intimated by that caliber of a person. Vanessa is more open to playing with the bigger players now. Style of Leadership Never been a follower when she was younger, Vanessa leads by the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t care what others think; she listens to her inner self. What Are You Excited About? Vanessa is excited about her May launch of Step into the Spotlight for Coaches, which is a six-month program based on finding a key message and expanding and boosting their profile. Leadership Practice Balance is how Vanessa starts her day. She doesn’t start working until noon because she spends her mornings outside with her animals. Book to Develop Leadership Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling by Michael Port Advice For Younger Self Vanessa would say to her younger self to stop playing mediocre.

"Performance is an art and a craft"- Michael Port Every interaction is a performance — whether you’re speaking up in a meeting, pitching a client, negotiating a raise, or walking into a job interview. Today's guest tells us how to get a standing ovation every time. MICHAEL PORT is the New York Times best-selling author of six books including on of my personal favorites, Book Yourself Solid. Michael has been featured on all the major TV networks and is one of the highest rated speakers working today. He runs a company of experts advising businesses on marketing, business development, and public speaking. I recently recommended his new book Steal the Show on my monthly reading recommendation email. By sharing the go-to techniques of successful actors, in the book and in this episode, Michael tells us how to give your presentations a clear focus, engage your listeners, manage your nerves, give your message maximum impact in every situation, every time. One of my favorite parts of this episode is when Michael takes us through an exercise to find all the best stories from our life, and then sort through those to find the ones that would be worth telling. That isn't enough though, we need to give your stories the proper structure and practice telling them. This is such an amazing episode, you will blown away by Michael's delivery - he actually uses vocal intonation contrast while he is explaining the concept of contrast. This episode will help you any time you are talking to other people, especially when you are at the front of the room. Enjoy! Quotes: "Your life is determined by the outcome of the high stakes moments" - Michael Port "Amplify parts of your personality as appropriate"- Michael Port "Performance is an art and a craft"- Michael Port "People who make choices are attractive"- Michael Port "When you are giving a speech, contrast is often king"- Michael Port "Just because a story happened to us, doesn't mean we are ready to tell it"- Michael Port "A play is called a play because it is fun"- Michael Port "Dedicate a fair amount of time to rehearsal"- Michael Port "Adventure is exploring a new place with people I love"- Michael Port What you will learn: -How to play the right roles in the right situation -The three types of contrast while speaking and how to create them -An exercise to source your best stories from the people, places, events, and times in your life -How to tell a good story (and a joke) by using the three-act structure -How to rehearse properly for a presentation -How looking at water changes our brain waves to make us more relaxed Continue the Adventure (Resources from this episode): Steal The Show Bonuses Michael’s podcast: Steal the Show Michael Port’s website Heroic Public Speaking The Books: Steal the Show: From Speeches to Job Interviews to Deal-Closing Pitches, How to Guarantee a Standing Ovation for All the Performances in Your Life Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling Thanks Michael Port!

Welcome to the first Friday Town-Hall Meeting. This is the show where were answer questions, discuss the challenges of small business, sometimes have a guest, and have a little bit of fun.  In today's episode we talk about the challenges of finding new customers and getting new sales.  Every small business needs sales, so I am going to dive deep and talk about the solutions to this challenge. Speaking of challenges.  It was a challenging start to the week...  We had some server issues, but we were able to get the podcast off the ground.  Thank you for being a part of it. I would like your feedback.  My desire is to serve you.  Let me know your thoughts and suggestions for the show.  You can leave them in the comments below. These business challenges came from our reader survey that we did late last year. Business Challenge #1  "How do I laser-focus and define my core target client persona and her/his most urgent/biggest pain points to tailor my service modules to get precisely the results they need." Profile your existing clients or determine the profile of the market you want to serve. Survey Sample products Market before you produce and get feedback Business Challenge #2 - "How do I connect with the right market in ways that drive new business and create sustainable relationships and income potential." Once you have identified the market, find out where they "hang out" Engage them there. Build connections with influencers Give lots of "gifts" Have a strategy and system to build those relationships over time. Finding New Sales Past customers (Sales & Referrals) Consistently build connections  Leverage tools so that you can connect 1 to many instead of 1 to a few Look for tools that foster a two way conversation not just a 1 way conversation.   Resources FREE Guide - 5 Tools I Use to Increase My Income and Personal Productivity - www.brianmininger.com/5-tools-i-use-to-increase-my-income Networking With Purpose - John Corcoran & Matt McWilliams - www.networkingwithpurpose.com/revival Free Book From John Corcoran - How to Increase Your Income Today by Building Relationships with Influencers, Even if you Hate Networking. www.smartbusinessrevolution.com/ Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling - Michael Port Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce Sponsored - UP Conference in Augusta County February 12th Defining Your Market in 7 Steps from Entrepreneur Magazine Online http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/225656 The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion on the road!

"I would have people love instead of fear"- Adam Stanecki of the Virtuosity Project on what he wishes for the world In this episode, I have the super cool Adam Stanecki on as a guest. Adam was one of the first Crossfit gym owners in Australia (and worldwide). He sold his gym and is now the founder of the Virtuosity Project, where he teaches fitness professionals and gym owners how to grow their business. In this episode, we get into some specific ways that he helps people break through their plateaus and glass ceilings. We also dig into the idea of fear and how to keep progressing in spite of fear. When I think of Adam, I think of a strong, tough guy with a huge heart, lots of love for his family and work, and full of insights that seem to arrive at just the right moment. I bet you will find some shiny gems in this episode! If you do any coaching, or work in the fitness industry, this is an episode you don't want to miss! What you will learn in this episode: -What Adam thinks is the most basic human fear -Why money should only be an indicator -How he provides value up front in his business -The importance of patience and momentum -Why Adam hires a business coach even though he is a business coach -How to "get out of your own way" -Why many entrepreneurs are busy doing things they don't need to do Mentioned in this episode: Adam's business The Vitruosity Project Crossfit Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even if You Hate Marketing and Selling The Art of Thinking Clearly Thanks Adam Stanecki!

Really excited about framework architecture and lately, all about teaching what I've learned over the course of time that I've been working in the Bay Area and working on the frontend of Twitter and things like that. Nowadays, I teach at Hack Reactor full time which is an immersive school for learning to become a developer over a period of three months. JAMISON:  Cool. CHUCK:  And which technologies do you teach at Hack Reactor? MARCUS:  We use JavaScript as our teaching language. Fundamentally, what we’re trying to do is teach people software engineering principles. So, JavaScript just turns out to be one of the most useful languages we can use to do that. But from there, we kind of want to give people practical skills that they can use immediately on the job. So, we definitely drive the entire curriculum out of GitHub repos and teach them some practical things like Backbone and Node and deployment strategies. So yeah, we kind of cover the gambit from frontend to backend with a focus on JavaScript in particular. CHUCK:  Awesome. That sounds really cool. JOE:  Yeah, it does. MARCUS:  It’s a lot of fun.

It’s hard for me to make a list of top five and it sounded like Eric had like, four that he’d recommend outright and then it was a tie between another four or five. We’ll just kinda see how it goes. Eric, what is your top book? I'm kind of curious to hear about that. ERIC: And by “top” you mean top of the pile of books that's sitting on my desk? CHUCK: Yeah, the one that you would recommend the most, I guess. ERIC: OK. So I think the one that’s had the best impact was I think “Duct Tape Marketing” by John Jantsch. It’s very much a marketing oriented book, but it has a lot of good like how to run your business and it’s just not just marketing but sales and customers and who you are working for and kind of like what services you are providing. And it’s kind of an older book. I have used it for many,
