I'd like you to meet Linda, my first coaching client. Listen in on her story of leaving her day job and developing her own coaching business around The Deeper Path, coming out with her own book and moving her family to California.

Have you ever heard of the Jimmy Dean Sausage Strategy? This is the model where you don't want sausage. You're not even thinking about sausage. You go to Costco, you go to Sam's Club, nice person, they're giving away Jimmy Dean sausage in a free sample. It's on sale, it's two for one that day. You walk away with it in your cart. Amazon does it when they give you a look inside a book. Car dealerships do it when they let you test drive a vehicle. How can you give customers a free "taste" of your services?More at http://businessacademyelite.com/

Have you ever experienced the Deep Now? Idea has never been blended with focus and flow in this same way. When you're in the deep now, the past loses its power, the future loses its promise, and you are just absolutely present.More at https://elixirprojectbook.com/

The two main reasons that people hire a coach are experience and clear methodology.I am not a fan of people who say, "Hey, do you want to join a coaching relationship with me?" Yeah what are we going to do? "We're just going to focus on you." You will fail as a certification program if you do not have a success path for your content. A framework is a solution broken down into simple steps. Your success path is the stones that it takes for you to cross from before course to after course. Before certification to after certification.

It's okay to want more impact, influence and income. That's not discontentment. Everything God created says grow. I believe that you need to grow. You need to grow your platform, your impact, and your message. Many people I coach in the beginning, they feel dirty or bad that they're going to charge money. Do you think that your loved ones, whoever they are, single, married, whatever, friends. Do you think your loved ones are going to be excited for you to continue to invest in your hobby forever without seeing a return on your investment? Do you think you will have the same fire, no. Do you think your products and programs can ever increase in technology or quality if you're not charging for your products? No, you need to, right? This stuff isn't free.

Free is a tool, and it can catapult or cannibalize your business. You want to add value and develop relationships but you don’t want to give away so much that it cheapens your brand and causes family resentment and burn out. More at http://businessacademyelite.com/
