If I say the word offer, there is a massive difference in what the Craft Coach thinks vs what a successful profitable coach thinks of. Here's what pops out when I ask the Broke Coach that question about "what's your offer?" "Oh… I uh… I give them 6 Skype sessions with me for $697." Then I guess I must stare at them in disbelief for a moment because it's always followed by something like "but I was thinking about doing an 8 session package for $997 and raising my prices a bit" We tend to think about an offer as the "stuff" we are giving them OR the time we are spending with them. That's one direction you could go. Which is better than going nowhere If you choose to, you can trudge down that painfully long winding road to profitless transactions that empty out your heart and cause you to question if you're really cut out for "helping others". And if you like that sort of painful despair, by all means. Keep on going down that road. Please! If you're not the sort of person that likes running headlong into a wall again and again, let me propose a different way. What if instead you sold outcomes or results? Because that's what people are really buying anyways. Or in the case of the Broke Coach; not buying!

Where do you get these humans from? Do I need to shop local? Can I grow my own? While I don't want to discourage you from raising mini humans for the purposes of having them download your Client Attraction Magnet later on, there is a better way! Remember everything you now know about your target market? All that work you did early on? Well part of what you did was also learn where these people hang out, who they follow what they click on. What websites and podcasts and blogs they pay attention to. Where do these people meet in real life? Now is where you get to use that info and plunk yourself down in one of those "streams" of your specific peeps!There are several different ways. The main ways I recommend are to Buy, Build, or Borrow

Everybody has somewhere to start for you. It usually begins with buying their "thing" to help you get started. Here's what I would suggest. Start with the steps that I've outlined in this guide. What you don't have to spend time doing Who do you actually want to work with (and can help the very most) How to package an offer that gets clients (because it isn't what you think) Creating a Client Attraction Magnet (because….well isn't it obvious The not-so-magic trick of getting people to come to you! How put it on auto pilot so that you can spend your time on coaching (and traveling!) Avoid what Broke Coaches do like the plague and you will find that your coaching business rises out of the out of thedismal abyss and your fellow coaching friends you make will be coming to you asking what you're doing. Trust me, it doesn't take much. Ever since we had our first $3000 month years ago, people have beating down my door and asking to pick my brain on what we're doing. That's how low the bar is. But you don't have to stop there. Once you know how to grow a $3000 a month business, you can easily do $5000, Once you can do $5000 simply changing your prices can get you to $8000 a month.
