These 'coaches' who are worth thousands. Yes there are those who really are worth investing in and no-one is a bigger fan of those coaches than me. They need to charge high prices and that is what they are worth. Yet those are the types who will deliver amazing value. They will check in on you, really care about your results and they will have you chomping at the bit to improve your life and business.
Recently, a good friend of mine invested a lot of money though an obviously impressive sales funnel. The pitch was good. It would have to have been as to part with the kind of money my friend did was HUGE. She even told the creator of this coaching course the money spent should really go towards clearing debt but she believed in investing in herself. Personally, with this request, I would have nurtured that potential client. I would have sent links to plenty of free stuff which every coach should be putting out there, and I would encourage paying the bills instead and working on the free content enough to then earn a little more in order to sign up to a course. Upon signing up, (consider this is thousands of pounds) I would then go ahead and check on my students. To charge this kind of money, send a once a week PDF teaching nothing new and not even check in on them is lazy, unspiritual and this coaching business can only have one outcome in my book.
More and more we are hearing pitches from coaches and we are knowing it is a great way to help us get ahead in our business. Yes. I agree. But greed on the coaches part should not be what this industry is about.
Previously I have mentioned Brendon Burchard. He is a total master at coaching. He also has great morals and is a huge success. Now, admittedly I have bought a couple of his books and signed up to a very long and content packed audible book. Yet these were minimal costs. If he were to come to the UK and do a coaching course, I would be tempted. Yet the cost might not be within reach for many. What makes him a success is you can be coached BY Brendon no matter what your status. He is open for all. I love this.
Over on my Youtube channel, each Monday I post a video called Motivational Monday. Loads of people use Motivational Monday now. It's a great thing! Obviously my videos are free and often just me rambling on in the car while driving to somewhere important. Yet a handful of people find these of value. Go and see the comments, you will see.
If you are tempted into these coaching programmes that are teaching you to be a coach, please do not get the dollar signs in your eyes. It's not about that. It's about you wanting a 'job' where you can give value to others who need different beliefs and can do a different job and create a lifestyle they love. Do not omit the part which says you give value. Your business is only going to be known for this. Start with love and the rest follows. If you truly want to help those who can't afford your courses, give the free content which will help them and watch them come back and be in a position to pay next time.
