Goldilocks and Client Load: What’s “just right” for your practice?

Lately, it struck me that a good number of coaching clients for me is soooooooo much less than it ever used to be. Early in my practice, I had nearly 22 individual clients at one time. Back then, I defined this as a great success; now I know differently. Too many clients and I get burned out; too few and I get anxious. Too many clients and I can’t keep it all straight. Too few and I begin to care more about their lives than they do. Too many clients and my coaching skills suffer; too few clients …

I Went on a J.O.B. Interview

Oh-so-quietly last month, I went on a J.O.B. interview. Wha?!?!? Yes, it’s true. For several months, I’d been feeling burned out, bummed out, and kinda blue about running my business. So many hats to wear, so many unending tasks to complete, so much loneliness day-in and day-out.  Over dinner one cold January night with a couple of dear, dear friends, I shared my feelings.

Why Follow-Up After Sample is Key

Don’t Leave Them Feeling Like They’re Not Worth Pursuing: Why Follow-Up With Potential Clients Is Critical for Life Coaches When you meet a client for a Sample Session, it can be an extraordinary experience, much like meeting someone of interest at a party for the first time (wink). For many of our would-be clients, the Sample Session is the first time in a long time (or, sadly, sometimes EVER) that our clients are actually seen, heard, and made to feel special, like a person of interest. …

June is a Time of Transition

Hi Coachy Loves. I wanted to just pop in today because it’s June now. Something always happens in June that I tend to forget about each year. That is that June is a time of transition. For a lot of us coach solopreneurs, June is a time when we start to see some clients slide, meaning a lot of our clients will either drop out or new clients aren’t coming in as abundantly as they might be at other times during the year. It’s also a time for those of us with children when the kids getting …

Your Paycheck is More Than You Think

Hi Coachy Loves. I’m sitting out here in this beautiful out of doors because it is summer. You can see the beautiful flowers behind me and the breeze is blowing, and the summer is here and it’s just gorgeous. I was having a client call earlier and we talked about the fact that it’s summer now. I was telling this client last month that one of the things I go in and add into my calendar is I write in “Protect June.” By that, I mean June is a frickin’ crazy month for a lot of us. Schools are …
