Subway Fresh? The Subway franchise’s latest venture into marketing humor involves poking fun at life coaches.. OK, so we’re fair game, but in my opinion this ad is actually a good thing. You see, if our profession (in this case diet coaching) is the subject of derision, it can only mean that enough people understand what a “life coach” is to be able to get the underlying humor! So this is a time to celebrat4e the trend . . . the trend is your friend! Someone famous once said that bad publicity is better than no publicity. If life coaching comes across as just a...

(Part 3 of a 3-Part Series) In the last two parts of this series, I covered two of the five weight loss secrets, i.e., the five main contributing factors to Obesity.

(Part 1 of a 3-Part Series) The Pitfalls of Weight-Loss Coaching George was a life coach who consulted with clients about weight loss, diet and nutrition.

Why Discover Your Coaching ‘Why’…? In my Free Report “The 7 Mistakes Life Coaches Make in Their Business…” the #1 mistake is trying to serve everybody. In the report I talk about how you need to define your niche, and go DEEP, not wide. If you want to go deep, however, you need to have a good enough reason to do this. You need to LOVE your subject, or else others will pick up the fact that you don’t . . . and will turn away. IF, however, you have a “good enough ‘Why’” they will see that and flock to you in large numbers. Here’s... (Read More ...)
On the list of the 7 biggest mistakes Life Coaches make in their businesses, a “lack of Inner-Outer Congruence” is at or near the top. Lack of Congruence is an important step in overcoming as part of your life coach training. It basically means that you are not singing the same tune INSIDE as you are OUTSIDE. This is the single-most important factor keeping life coaches, business coaches and entrepreneurs small. This factor keeps you unable to act on opportunities, drive out fears, and grab success. I get to speak frankly on this subject while delivering some checks to the Post... (Read More ...)
