What you will learn

By the end of this course you will understand what it takes to succeed in your own coaching or consulting business.

You will know what to expect, what skills you'll need, and 10 critical success factors.

Description

Are you a new coach or consultant who is just starting out in business? 


Or, maybe you've been in business a while but you’re struggling to get clients.


In either case, this course is for you. 


In fact, I believe so strongly in the content I share in this course I think it should be mandatory for every new coach and consultant.


There are so many things you simply don’t know and can’t anticipate when you go into business for yourself. 


  • Things no one ever tells you


  • Things you simply overlook


  • Things you don’t think about



And all of those unknowns can make business frustrating, difficult, and frankly a real struggle. 


But it doesn’t have to be that way.


When you know what to expect and do, it changes everything.     


Suddenly you're able to… 


  • Be better prepared so you can succeed in your business.


  • Relax and enjoy your business more


  • Avoid many of the common mistakes (and the pain and frustration that goes along with learning the hard way)


  • Eliminate failures (I’ll be honest, you can’t totally eliminate failure but you can sure minimize it!)


  • Save yourself a lot of frustration, pain, and heartache


  • Become successful in your business more quickly and easily
 


In this course I share:


  1. What I learned after starting my own business, making mistakes, and learning the hard way.

  2. The differences between working in a job and running your own business.

  3. The common mistakes and misconceptions new coaches and consultants make and have.

  4. All the things I wish someone had told me BEFORE I started my own coaching and consulting business.


I learned everything I teach in this course the hard way.


I’ve been in business on my own since 1998. I’ve started 8 different businesses. Three became successful 6-figure businesses relatively quickly (within the first year or so). The others, well let’s just say I learned some valuable lessons! 


I was probably a lot like you when I started my first business.  Full of ideas, passion, motivation and drive. But no experience running a business. I’ve learned so much that I feel an obligation to share it with those who are just starting out, or those who are struggling. 


There's no reason you have to discover these 10 things the hard way. 

 

Whether you’re thinking about becoming a coach or consultant, you’re just starting your business, or you’ve been in business for years and things aren’t going quite the way you’d hoped, I believe understanding the 10 things I share in this course will help you. 


Consider this course your sneak peek into the future of what it takes to run a successful coaching or consulting business. Your opportunity to learn from someone who has been-there-done-that and is now sharing it with YOU!

This is a great course for those who wish to build their own business using tried and tested methods. Good insight into starting, managing, and growing a business. I have started a few businesses over the years but have never really gone all-in because I was too focsued on the money rather than solving customer problems. I also used to be less comfortable with selling than I am today so agree that business owners need to wear multiple hats (CEO/CFO/CMO/CIO) to win clients but ensure this is done in a way that motivates. Staying up-to-date with market trends and continually grow your expertise is also key, as this helps to differentiate you from your competitors. Good luck.

Good practical advice that other don't always share. It seems like stuff a business coach would go through and charge much more for.

Ms. LaChusa is very knowledgeable and I appreciate her creating this course to help set me up for success. She goes through each point with just the right amount of real-world examples. I thoroughly enjoyed this course while I was learning from it. I do not know of anything Ms. LaChusa could do to improve this course. I enjoyed it just the way it is. :)

Short, direct, to the point. For all of us running a biz, time is so precious. I really like it when there is clarity in the teaching and no beating round the bush. It's bite-sized and I can take what I learn and easily reflect / apply it.

A course that anyone should take preferable before going off on their own. It is very refreshing to get advice and experiences from someone who has done that been there but still walks among the rest of us. This course spans all the way from failed businesses to taking care of yourself. I especially liked the point that was made that you have to allow yourself time to think otherwise you will not evolve. This is the firs time I hear someone give the advice that your run or walk is an asset not only to your health but also to your thinking process and consequently to your business. So the Title "Did You Know" gets answered with "No I Did't but Now I Do".

This is one of those courses where everything that Debbie says you think to yourself "well of course", and yet there were a number of these that I had not thought to do. It takes someone who has been through all of the heartache to create a list like this to help us newbies out. Thank you Debbie for being that someone.

This course was very comprehensive and well thought out. She discussed every aspect one should consider and implement in the business of coaching and/or consulting. She also included many examples from her personal experience in business. Her style of teaching was easy to follow and understand. If you want a complete overview of what you should know about coaching or consulting, then this is the course for you.
