A Full or Part Time Career that Makes a Difference

Whether you’re a life coach who’s been around the block a few times, or just entering the coaching profession and want to get it right the first time, or somewhere in between, I know you want to make a significant difference in your client’s lives. Isn’t that why we were all called to coaching?

Sure, the lifestyle sounds enticing — being able to work from your home, to serve clients around the world by phone, as well as locally in person, and to make a good living while making a real difference.

So, how’s that turning out for you?

What’s Wrong with this Picture?

While it’s true that the coaching profession is one of the fastest growing professions in the world, right now many coaches are struggling — begging for business.

Perhaps you’ve been lulled into the profession with some of the hype marketing that says how easy it is to be a coach. Well, it may be fairly easy to become a coach, but building a thriving and profitable coaching business — that’s the part of the story many coaching schools don’t talk about.

Starting and growing a small business is rarely easy, and that goes for just about any business, and it may be particularly true for a coaching business. Let’s face it, most people still don’t know the profession exists, on top of which some of the media coverage is derogatory in nature, calling coaching a New Age fad, or worse.

And yet, there’s something about coaching that keeps calling to you, time and time again. If you’re already a coach with at least a few years of experience under your belt, you know firsthand that building a coaching business isn’t easy, but you may also be wondering if there’s not something out there that can make it just a little easier.

Or perhaps you’re just now being called to the coaching field and you’re looking for just the right coaching program that will help you get out of the starting gate as fast as possible — that will make a significant difference with your clients even in the early phase as you’re learning how to coach and build your practice.

Or perhaps, you’ve experienced the power of the Life On Purpose Process and you know firsthand the difference it can make in people’s lives, and you feel called to offer it to others.

What it Takes to Cut it as a Life Coach

Have you been a victim of the hype that’s so prevalent about the coaching profession. You know, the reports that say you can enter into a coaching program for a few months, then upon graduation make $75,000 or more in the first year, working from anywhere in the world, easily and almost effortlessly? If that’s true, how come so many trained coaches are barely making it, even after years in the profession.

Could it be that becoming an effective coach — someone who can help people improve their lives — is only half the equation? Yes, it’s an important part — just not the whole picture. Maybe moving from being a ‘non-coach’ to a highly effective and successful coach takes just a bit more — maybe even a lot more.

If you’ve ever tried to cut a piece of paper with just one-half of a pair of scissors, you know it just doesn’t work that well.

It takes both halves of the scissors to cut it.

The same is true in the coaching profession. Making it in the world of coaching takes not only being trained to be an effective coach, but you also need guidance in how to become a successful coach.

The principle is the same if you want to become an effective and successful plumber, dentist, or just about any profession or career. It takes more than just knowing how to do the work of that profession or career, especially if you’re going to be self employed.

To become both effective as a coach and successful as a coach requires three important ingredients:

• Picking the right form of coaching that really resonates with you, and that lots of people can benefit from,
• Realizing that most people are more open to coaching when it’s offered as a proven, systematic process or program, especially if it will help them solve one or more of their BIG problems,
• Developing your abilities to be a small business owner / entrepreneur as well as a coach.

Is the Coaches Mentoring Program a Fit for You?

First off, we don’t try to be everything for everyone. Life On Purpose Institute’s entire focus is around life purpose:

• Helping people identify their purpose,
• Helping them live true to it, and
• Helping others to guide and coach people to live a life on purpose. So we know that becoming a Life On Purpose Coach isn’t for everyone, which is why one of the first steps to becoming a Life On Purpose Coach is to experience the Life On Purpose Process yourself either by being coached by one of our certified coaches or through one of our group and/or online programs.

Our coaching approach to life purpose uses a proven, systematic, spiritually based and practical coaching model that has helped thousands of people over the past 16-years to clarify their life purpose and then design their life to be a true and authentic reflection of that purpose. What this means for you as a coach, is that your clients will enjoy being guided along a proven, program-oriented path. This also means you can begin to coach people much more quickly and easily while still providing profound and lasting value to your clients which results in happier, more satisfied clients who are then excited to refer other clients to you.

The Missing Half of the Scissors
But besides training you to coach people through the Life On Purpose Process, during the yearlong Coaches Mentoring Program you will receive personal, customized coaching and mentoring in the greatest missing elements of most other training programs — the entrepreneurial training to help you build a successful coaching business that’s true to your purpose and that’s filled with passion and play.

The Coach Mentoring Program — Not a Cookie Cutter Program

As one of our coaches-in-training, you will not only meet twice a month in a group teleclass setting, but you are also personally coached each month by one of the founders of Life On Purpose Institute. We offer our training in this combination of teleclasses and individual coaching because we know there are certain elements that everyone needs to learn, and at the same time each person has a unique set of circumstances that can be better addressed through individual coaching.

What’s Included:

• Twice monthly group teleclasses/training sessions lasting from 75- 90 minutes over 9-months.

• Each month you will also have either two, 30-minute individual coaching sessions or one, 60-minute session to cover your particular needs and interests.

• The content includes much of the material covered in our very popular and successful Coaches Development Program on how to effectively guide individuals through the Life On Purpose Process, as well as how to guide groups through the Process.

The Coaches Mentoring Program is shaped by these three intentions:

• To help you deepen your ability to live true to your life purpose
• To help you become effective at coaching people through the Life On Purpose Process
• To help you build a coaching business on purpose with passion and play

The living true to your life purpose intention include:

• Learning how to use the tools for living on purpose to design your life as a true and authentic reflection of your purpose. After all, the more your life reflects your purpose, the more attractive you will become to the clients you are here to serve as their Life On Purpose Coach.
• Receiving support and guidance from your Life On Purpose Coach as well as from your fellow coaches-in-training.

Becoming an effective Life On Purpose Coach includes:

• Role-playing and practicing in class and with your fellow coaches-in-training
• Getting support and coaching as you guide your first clients through the Life On Purpose Process. (There is no more effective training as a coach than actually coaching clients, especially when you have support and guidance from an experienced coach.)
• Access to the Virtual Video Coaches 16-sessions as the originator of the Life On Purpose Process guides you through the 6 passages that make up the Life On Purpose Process.

The business building on purpose includes:

• Using the “Trifecta Approach” to determine who you’ve come here to serve as a coach, the problems and pains that you’ve come to help solve and heal, and the real possibility you’re here to offer our clients and the world.
• How to develop an effective “marketing train” that will drive qualified clients to you, and allow you to put your marketing efforts on autopilot.
• How to developing various coaching plans and programs that will fit your clients’ needs while being true to your heart.

Two Tuition Plans Are Available

The tuition of the yearlong Coaches Mentoring Program may be paid in one of the following ways:

• 9, monthly payments of $395, or
