Read This if You’re a New Health Coach
Let’s talk about one of the most common questions or discussions that I've had with new women who have been thinking about joining the program. A lot of you out there are questioning: Can I really do this? If I'm brand new, can I really do this?
If I'm just getting started, how will I know this works for me, I'm just brand new? And I've been talking a lot in your inboxes and here in the Healthy Wealthy Society Facebook Group over the last few weeks around mindset blocks and how mindset also needs to come with the marketing and the money strategies.
Can I do this, I'm brand new? Can I do this I’m just getting started? Will this work for me, I'm just new? – Does anyone have that thought or that belief? And of course, my quick answer is yes, of course you can do this!
This is what we are here to help you do. But I thought it might be fun just to lift the lid a little on that thought and look at some of the layers behind that question.
“I don't have experience yet.”
When you say, “But I don't have experience yet.” That is a mindset belief. That's actually a circumstance. And then I will help you with the thinking as a coach. So I might say, “Okay, but you have to start somewhere and we'll work on that.” Understanding that you have to start somewhere. I mean, if you don't get started, you'll never get experience, right? So the best place to start is by following a system that's going to get you clients as soon as possible, you’re not going to get experience.
So if you say, “I don't know if this will work for me because I don't have experience.” Of course you don't have experience, if you had experience, you wouldn't need this. So the way that I might look at that instead to help you see the difference in the thought patterns and the reality is you've always got to start somewhere. And the best place is by putting yourself in the game in a way that you are likely to get experience as soon as possible.
“I don't know where to find clients to get that experience.”
So let's go a layer deeper. When you say, “I don't know where to find clients to get that experience, how am I going to get that experience?” Well, then I'd say, “You will know how to reach your ideal clients when you follow certain marketing frameworks created specifically for health coaches.” So of course you don't know how to find clients yet, and you don't have the experience because you don't have the framework in place to get really clear on how to tell people what you do and know that your package is something that people will buy.
So there are certain marketing frameworks that are created specifically for health coaches – that's how you get the client to get the experience. And if you don't have those, it's unlikely that that initial thought will change.
“I don't know what to charge people.”
So we'll go a layer deeper. When you say, “Well, I don't know what to charge people or what to offer them.” Then what I would offer you back is you will know what to charge them when you're offering them what you know they want, when you've done the work through the framework, through the system, it takes the guesswork out. So instead of overwhelm and trying to work all this out, you go through the process, you know who you're talking to, you know what they are struggling with, you know how to design the package to a further degree including delivery for each individual – you know all that stuff. And then you do know how to charge.
In UPswing Mastermind, I help you with that energetically so we know it's in alignment with you. So I agree that today, you wouldn't know how to charge them or offer them or what to offer them. But the point is that you will in only a couple of weeks.
“Why would people want to work with me?”
When you say, “But I'm new, I'm just getting started. Why would people want to work with me?” Then they work with someone else and going to lovingly reflect back that you need to trust in yourself more. You need to trust your journey and know that when you create a coaching package that is designed magnetically for your true ideal client, that you're setting both of you up for success, it's supposed to be this way. You're actually the perfect coach as a new coach for your first ideal clients. That's the way it works. And of course there are things that will help you on to feel more confident because otherwise, if you don't have those, then you're always just going to stay in there, a newbie health coach.
How are you going to move forward from there? So I just wanted to lovingly share that a bit of coaching energy this morning, because we all get stuck in our thoughts and our beliefs that aren't a match for where we want to go.
But I wanted to remind you as your coach, that you choose those thoughts.
You choose those thoughts and you get to choose the woman and the business owner that you are moving forward with us, choosing you get to choose which framework and structure you're going to build your business on. You get to choose which mentor you get to choose who you are in the process, and you get to choose your thoughts. And sometimes that takes some loving guidance to mirror those. You choose the success that you have.
I also understand that many of you have taken other courses, try other programs, don't want to commit to something if you don't have like an absolute guarantee that it's going to work. You might worry that maybe you're not going to show up every day and trust in yourself in that way. The thing is you're building your business. No one else is. We call this “pot plant businesses” in UPswing Mastermind, where we work out the size of your pot plant and what your particular business is.
You're not on anyone else's timeline, but your own. You get to build the kind of business. When you listen to your body, your business is never going to burn you out. You listen to your body. You're empowered. You get to build the business that is the perfect match for you. You get to be present with your current needs. You get to meet yourself where you are. Most importantly, you get to base your decisions on your vision, trust your vision and your dreams and your goals are there for a reason, knowing that when you step forward, you will be held. You will have the support if you would join UPswing Mastermind, that's your next step forward. It's in front of you.
Now, you've been thinking about it. You've been questioning it. Can you trust that you will be met with great support of other coaches who are doing this as well? My team coaches, myself, people who have done this, we know what's working. We are there for you. Are you able to receive that?
And what do you think it would really take to trust yourself now and know that with the systems, the structures designed specifically for health coaches, with the community, with all of the loving coaching support, what would it take to trust yourself with all of those pieces in place and know that you can make this happen?
What would it take to move from dream vision board to trust and a decision that you're doing this?
Love,
Amanda xx
