There are three critical foundations to building a successful life coaching practice. If you’re a life coach, the main thing you gotta focus on is sales and building your sales funnel. You just have to learn how to attract clients consistently, without struggle. This is usually why most life coaches quit or don’t have a thriving life coaching practice like they want.

The first foundation is your thoughts and emotions, your inner being. Who you are being determines everything else you do as a life coach. If you don’t think you’re valuable or that people won’t pay you, you won’t make it. Your thoughts, emotions, your own perception of your value as a life coach makes or breaks your business. If you don’t get this part right, it doesn’t matter what you do, you won’t be successful. And you’ll experience emotions like - no matter what I do it just doesn’t work. Or you’ll be afraid you can’t be successful, or you’ll fear that you don’t have enough value to get paid.

But if you do get this part right, it doesn’t matter what you do, you’ll always get it right. You’ll find a way. You’ll make it happen, no matter what obstacles or failures you have. You’ll have the oomph to get it done. You’ll attract clients. If you believe in yourself, have confidence, you’ll make it work every time.

You have to expand your mental and emotional box consistently. The biggest factor that holds most life coaches and causes them to quit is thinking and feeling they don’t have any value. People won’t pay them. They can’t do it. They can’t make it.

The first foundation is about developing the habit of working on yourself, your own growth. You work on your commitment, on reprogramming and reconditioning your mind and emotional body. You begin to break out of old patterns you thought you couldn’t break out of. You make this a life-long commitment in your life coaching practice. You experience breakthroughs bit by bit.

Where most life coaches quit is when they’ve started to make some breakthroughs, they’re growing, but they don’t have the results they want. And when they get a dose of reality and realize they’re much further away then they thought they were, they give up. They want the results right now. And if they can’t have them right now, they give up. They won’t do the work. They don’t want to do the work, commit to the practice, and work on themselves enough to get clients. They feel like having more clients is what will make them feel more valuable, but it’s a lie. You claim your value first, and then you’ll attract clients.

If you have a lot of fear or limiting beliefs that keep you stuck, you can get unstuck. But you have to work on where you’re at and not worry about being a millionaire over night. If you can commit to this practice and be very repetitive in your discipline, you’ll make it. It will happen. I was in the same spot, and I found a way. I know you can too.
