Description:  At a time when many coaches are reluctantly putting aside their dreams of creating a profitable coaching practice to look for a "real job" that offers what they believe is some measure of financial stability, the need for clarity around what really works to make a living as a coach has never been more urgent.

As a marketing coach, Ronnie Noize has helped thousands of small business owners, many of them coaches, finally get a handle on what they have to do to attract clients, and she has seen what gets in the way doing that.

In this presentation, Ronnie will share:
· The most common reasons smart coaches fail to attract clients.
· The five essential elements of a six-figure coaching practice.
· The three questions that will reveal whether or not you have the potential to build a business as a coach.

Warning: This presentation is NOT for whiners, blamers, or anyone who makes excuses about why their lack of success isn't their responsibility. It takes more than a "good attitude" and great coaching skills to build a coaching practice -- it takes personal commitment, and a few other things that will be explained in this presentation.
