This episode is inspired by earnest new coaches everywhere. May you uncover your greatness and personally evolve through your coaching business.

I’m privileged by my long-term experience and my long-range view of this industry and entrepreneurship.

Because I have the honored role of mentoring other coaches to build their coaching business, I get to somewhat re-live those early years over and over.

I know what you’re going through. And I also know the high potential ahead of you if you stay the course.

You know the power of mindset in working with your clients. What a person believes can make or break their opportunities.

These 3 mindsets could kill your coaching business because until they are shifted in your mind, they will run you ragged.

Everything you do attract or detracts the clients you want.

Before we dig in, I want to thank you for all the 5 star ratings and great reviews you have bestowed on Prosperous Coach Podcast and me.

Here’s a review from someone who used the moniker Soulful Coach.

This podcast is my go to for encouragement and quick reminders on specific topics that I’m struggling with. Rhonda is an amazing business coach and person. Her VIP program for coaches not only helps you identify your niche and much more but also helps you achieve personal growth in all dimensions of your life.

This review fits today’s topic about attracting ideal clients. I feel so blessed that I get to work with amazing human beings like Soulful Coach. How did that happen?

Most all of my clients apply to work with me because they like what they are hearing in my podcast episodes. My podcast is my content strategy.

What’s your content strategy? Whatever it is, the content should strike a resonant chord with your audience. That’s the best way to attract ideal clients.

Thank you!

Also, mentioned on this episode is Episode #58 - Start Planning for Profit in Your Coaching Business.

Did you know that charging higher fees will help you become more confident as a coach?

It worked for me and I've seen it work for my clients as well. Setting fees that will pay you well is an important threshold to cross as a new coach. The longer you wait to cross it the scarier it will feel.

Sure, it makes sense to give some coaching away during coach training. Your trainer might have encouraged that because they want you to practice coaching skills with as many people as you can as often as possible.

Practice integrates learning.

The downside of offering free or low-cost coaching past coach training is it becomes an ingrained habit. That’s how some coaches get stuck in what I call perpetual student mode.

This is where that practice-integrates-learning thing can work against you, as it becomes increasingly difficult to shift from free or charging little to charging fees that pay you well.

It’s time to break free from this trap. Let’s talk about how.

Since you decided to become a coach, I bet you’ve subscribed for dozens of lead magnets

And, I also bet that most of them were not very enlightening. There’s an art to providing real value without giving away too much for free, and while creating relationships of trust with future clients.

I can share that with you over a few episodes.

The main thing to know is that your downloadable free gift should be UNIQUELY valuable, address a top problem for your audience, and inspire them to follow you.

Those followers can become your future coaching clients. Sounds good right?

Trust me, it’s so much easier to set up a customer journey now where you are attracting and nurturing future clients than it is to chase potential clients when you’re desperate for them.

Let’s talk about why it’s smart for coaches to have a lead magnet and I’ll share 4 powerful questions to test the effectiveness of your lead magnet idea.

Prosperous Coach Podcast just reached Episode 300 and very soon will reach 300,000 downloads. That’s thanks to you for listening and sharing my podcast with other coaches!

With all that experience, how did I let my last episode air without editing it? You could hear big empty spaces in the recording, me turning pages, repeating phrases.

Because it was a public mistake, I felt that drop-in-the-stomach feeling as if I was in an elevator going down fast.

One of my clients emailed me about my goof up and I so appreciated that!

Of course, I fixed the episode, but not before hundreds of people heard it.

That episode got more downloads than the 5 before it.

What does that tell you?

My audience is forgiving and so is YOURS.

Let’s talk about how you can grow more quickly in your coaching career by the way you respond to your mistakes.
