Coaching Business Secrets (CBS):
Strategies for Designing, Selling and Running Profitable High-End Coaching Programs.

There are two areas of coaching. Life and business coaches. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it I am going to make some generalizations for the purpose of keeping this letter brief.

Business coaches. They are trained in helping business owners or entrepreneurs excel, or they are successful leaders in a specific industry who turn to coaching others in their industry. Direct sales professionals, dentists, wedding planners, hair salon owners, restaurant owners, dog groomers, and image consultants are examples of industries with niche-specific coaching programs.

Life coaches. They help their clients make strategic decisions about careers, relationships, marriage, divorce, motivation, creativity, health, fitness, finances, lifestyle, and sometimes business matters.

Live coaching can be done over the phone, or via email. Some old fogeys are still using fax. It can be delivered. One-on-one or in groups of 5 to 500. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it I don’t know of many more portable and lifestyle-friendly businesses such as coaching. It’s possible to conduct your calls from home, an office, or on the road. If you are going to host live meetings or retreats, why not have them in places you would love to visit? One of my Diamond member retreats last year was held in Maui, Hawaii. It was a legitimate business write-off for a great vacation. Always check with your accountant.

There are hundreds of coaching schools and certification programs that teach you how to be a coach in many different industries and niches. Good information on how to set up your basic practice and work with clients can be found in many of them.

The problem is here. You never learn how to generate serious revenues when you are taught how to make enough to get by. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it The coaching industry is very small-minded. They look at you with a crooked eye if you don’t stick to their traditional and approved business models.

I know of a coach and speaker who applied to present at an industry conference on how to charge more for their coaching services. She wanted to share this information so she wouldn’t be able to sell it. She said they declined her topic because it was too focused on money.

It is ironic that the industry promotes ideas like thinking big, getting unstuck, performance excellence, breaking through your limits, and being your best.

I know you want to help others. Your personal purpose is what I understand. It is mine as well. But. The purpose of a business is to make money. It’s not like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it’s like it You need to charge well for your services. It is a requirement that you charge well in order for you to deliver the value your clients expect.

Ali Brown – Business Coaching Secrets

Los Angeles, Calif., USA

Dear Coach or Consultant,

Listen, I know you love what you do.

It’s a fact that most people who go into coaching as a business do it because they LOVE helping others! They love working with someone and helping them get from where they are to where they want to be, bringing out their best, helping them think bigger, fostering those big breakthroughs, etc. I personally love nothing more than working with a client and seeing her have a “light bulb a-ha moment.”

But there is a huge problem with the traditional one-on-one coaching model. Sure it sounds easy at first… “I’ll just coach 20 clients a month” and then you realize you’re not only exhausted, but coaching isn’t as joyful as it once was.

The next phase most coaches go through if they are not resonating with the one-on-one model is introducing group coaching via teleseminars . Perhaps you’ve tried these as well, but you’re still not bringing in the money you need. Maybe you can’t figure out how to charge what you want to. Or you can’t get as many people in your programs as you’d like.

Sadly, I’m not surprised.

Do you realize that the typical annual incomes for experienced coaches are all over the board, ranging from $50,510 ( 2008 ICF Global Coaching Study ) to $134,800 ( 2009 Sherpa Executive Coaching Study )?

For such a noble profession that dramatically helps others, that seems very low. Especially when you look at how weak the dollar is right now, and how much it costs to run a business.

No wonder most people’s eyes pop open wide when I share what my programs generate, and those of my students as well.

First of all, you should know I never set out to be a coach . In fact, I never knew such a profession existed until I met a woman whom I hired to be my own life coach in 1999. I became curious about the industry, and nearly considered becoming a coach myself, until I calculated what I could make. I was living in New York City alone and could barely make ends meet, and didn’t see at the time how becoming a coach would help my bottom line. I decided to focus on my core business instead, which at the time was providing writing services for businesses.

In 2001, I decided to write a little ebook teaching how to market your business by publishing an email newsletter, or “ezine.” I sold it online, and was delighted at the extra $1,000 or so it brought in each month. Word got out, and something funny happened. People who bought the ebook then called and wanted me to work with them personally. They wanted me to show them how they could create an ebook and sell it online and make money too. They wanted me to coach them!

Well, I was flattered but I just kept thinking, “I’m not a coach. Hmmm. Would that even be legal? I’m sure I’d have to get certified or something to be able to coach people like this.” So I politely declined and got back to my core business.

I focused more on Internet and information marketing because it was inexpensive to do and I could work it in between writing clients. I soon started selling more products online and ventured into teaching teleseminars on specific topics too. I was really having fun now and had finally broken through the $100,000 mark between my client work and my Internet ventures.

Then, the same thing happened again! People were writing and calling and asking how they could learn how to do what I was doing. But they didn’t want to buy a product to show them how. They wanted me to work with them personally. They wanted me to coach them!

Again, I politely declined, simply because I was scared. I thought, “I don’t know how to coach!”

There’s a saying that when God’s trying to drop you a clue, first you get a few taps on the shoulder. Then you get whacked with a big 2×4. That’s what happened when one person said, “Ali I’ll pay you whatever you want, just show me how to do what you’re doing.”

I asked for what I felt at the time was an outrageous amount of money for a few months of one-on-one coaching: $6,000. She signed up on the spot.

I loved this! Being paid well to share with others how they could be successful too. I started to add coaching to my offerings along with selling my other information products and courses. In 2006, I launched what I considered to be my very first high-priced coaching program. I remember being so nervous when I announced the $12,000 fee on stage! Today, just a few years later, I happily command $100,000 per membership in my top-tier program.

To get from there to here, I had to learn a lot – the hard way. It wasn’t an easy ride. There was trial and error. Some things even blew up in the process! Some privately, some publicly. But the risk paid off…

Today, my coaching programs are well-oiled machines that one year alone brought in over $2 million. And that’s only part of my entire business I’ve offered various tiers of membership to be able to serve entrepreneurs of all income levels, ranging from $9.97 monthly continuity to $247 a month and $18,000 a year and $100,000 a year. (And my star members are experiencing stellar results, which is the best part of all! But this isn’t about that right now…)

Listen, I’m not sharing these numbers with you to impress you, but instead to impress upon you that I definitely learned how to expertly design, sell, and run coaching programs.

But here’s why I’m sharing this. I fully realize being able to charge these types of fees for coaching, let alone make 7-figures or more with it is extremely unusual in the traditional coaching industry.

I’m not claiming to be the best in the world at creating these programs. Nor am I claiming to be the best coach in the world. (Or the best at anything in the world for that matter!)

But here’s what I know for sure: I have grown my coaching business from what started as a little cash cow “on the side” into a substantial arm of my company that brings in millions of dollars a year. And I get so much joy from it and also see the results my clients receive. It’s a win all around. For my spirit, my bank account, my clients, and their bank accounts too!

The best part? There is an absolute formula to it. And now, it’s YOUR turn! I’m about to peel back the curtain and reveal for YOU my secrets for designing, selling, and running outrageously profitable coaching programs.

For the last several years my students and colleagues have been asking – BEGGING – me to share everything I know and have learned from developing my coaching programs to such a successful level.

I admit for a while I kept my strategies “close to the vest” as my business grew so quickly and was in transition. But, I decided to share my secrets for the first time EVER in a one-time only live event reserved exclusively for my Platinum and Diamond members and for experienced coaches. It was called the Coaching Business Intensive, and it took place in July 2010.

The response was INCREDIBLE , even at a ticket price of nearly $10,000 , and that’s when I realized I wanted to create a home-study version for those of you who could not be there. It’s called:
