Business Plan
Getting Started: Business Planning Business Planning is Goal Setting by another name, but too few coaches actually take the time to sit down and think through where their coaching practice is going, how it's going to get there and what you'll need to achieve your goals. If you want to make a living by making a difference, you still need to have your wits about you and work to a plan. Just because you don't want to be a multi-millionaire or have a multi-national business doesn't mean you shouldn't think about the future and work out how you'll get there - even if it's on the back of an envelope! No B.S. Notice: Sorry, but you can't base a business on 'wishful thinking' or hoping that 'the universe' will provide you everything if you just meditate on it long enough, sprinkle fairy dust on a photo of your favorite personal development guru and chant 'I will buy every self-help product you tell me to because I know that if I get rid of all my material possessions, eat coal and hug a stranger while telling them about my gremlins I will be a happier person'. If you think this statement is wrong, you've bought into the brainwashing and good luck to you. You DO need to set goals for your coaching practice no matter how uncomfortable it makes you. Reality check: just because you don't like doing something doesn't mean you're not 'meant' to be doing it. Get real and get it down on paper.

Here's what our members are saying ...
"I am new to the forum and I wanted to say how fabulous the teleclass was last night! The information imparted was so detailed and "insider" and the whole thing was so informative and inspiring! Thank you!"
Bryony, Member since Aug 2009
"It's given me direction, I also know what not to waste my time on. I was a little sceptical at first, but some of the information has opened up my eyes to what is really possible and given me an insight into 'who I am and what I've got to offer. This alone has been priceless because it's given me the confidence to GO FOR IT."

"The resources, materials & masterclasses are worth their weight in gold, but the tele-call on Creating Packages has not only got me buzzing but I think will justify a year's subscription in just that one hour."
