Struggling coaches believe they need to figure out their perfect niche, before getting clients.
Rich Coaches believe in serving clients and making money, while they figure out their perfect niche.
I spoke to a coach recently who was re-deciding whether she really even wanted to be a coach, based on her current financial situation and the lack of clients that were coming into her business. She told me she wasn't certain about her branding, position, niche, the results she offers, and because it isn't all perfectly lined up yet, that's why she doesn't have clients and should probably just quit.
I pointed something out.
Out of everyone I interviewed for the “How Rich Coaches Think” summit… you know who else isn't certain about their ‘perfect' niche, branding and market positioning?
Almost everyone!
Here's a brief glimpse…
- Christian Mickelsen's biggest passion is teaching his inner-game “instant miracle” mindset techniques. (Not just helping coaches get clients)
- Eben Pagan is still balancing how to frame the fact that his first 8-figure business was in the ‘seedy' underworld of the men's dating scene (even though he's now happily married, doesn't teach dating anymore and is now a Master Trainer of Virtual Coaches). He's changed his niche at least 3 times that I can count – but still built each one to over 7-figures per year.
- Tiamo Devetorri is most well known for teaching musicians how to make 6-figures in their music business, but his biggest passion is being a spiritual teacher, in particular his Joy First methodology.
And personally, I've changed niche more times than I can count! But all the way along, I made sure I was bringing in plenty of clients and money from each ‘niche' before moving on to the next one.
That's what we call “dating” a niche, not marrying one right away.
In fact, I encourage clients to “date” a niche by getting a few hundred people on their email list and signing up at least 10 coaching clients in the WRONG niche, to get started. That way, you'll have built the most important skills and ‘tested' everything out, so that when you finally figure out your perfect niche, you can rinse and repeat the process, then ‘marry' it.
The whole time, you'll be making plenty of money and serving people as their coach.
