Keep It To Yourself!
I routinely encourage each new Life Coaching Client to do one thing above all else:
“Don’t tell anyone you’re using a Life Coach!”
From a marketing standpoint this is bad advice. After all, word-of-mouth is the most powerful communications network there is. Telling a new Client not to share their enthusiasm about “The Intentional Prosperity™ System Life Coaching Program” is like cutting off my nose to spite my face…
But there is a very good reason why I do this.
A new Life Coaching Client has to be able to trust his or her decision to take this important step. They have to trust themselves. Having someone cast doubt on the decision, no matter how well intended, can cause fear, uncertainty and doubt within the Client.
I suggest instead letting the changes in attitude, confidence and the direction of your life, which will be the by-product of your Life Coaching experience, speak for itself. Your friends and family are going to notice. Just like they will notice if you loose twenty pounds.
Your personal success is something that always becomes obvious to those closest to you.
I’m a firm believer that you must nurture your goals and dreams. Hold them close to your heart and only share them with those who will understand and support your desires. Dreams are fragile. That’s why a lot of people never take action on their dreams.
They talk the energy right out of them before they take any action…
or worse, dissolve them, by explaining and defending their desire to make those dreams come true.
