I watched the most recent "Mission Impossible" movie on Netflix a few nights ago ...
It's the fifth one, "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation", for those of you keeping score at home.
It's filled with the usual silly, over-the-top shenanigans by Tom Cruise just like in the other four MI movies, but it's still pretty entertaining.
(Warning: leave your common sense at the door - he's going to be hanging off planes in mid- air and stuff like that!)
What does it have to do with coaching?
Earlier in the week, I saw a discussion with a few newer coaches online, talking about how difficult it is to get a coaching business rolling.
They view it as "Mission
Impossible".
Now I'll be the first to admit that building a coaching business - or any business - is difficult ...
I've experienced all the ups and downs:
- Lost revenue from
people you thought were going to become clients going MIA (or even worse, finding out they hired someone you know you could have done a better job than!)
- The cost of things being higher than anticipated (seriously, build in an extra 10-20% from what you expect, so you won't be surprised)
- Unexpected expenses that pop out of nowhere, but HAVE to be paid.
- etc etc etc ...
I'll concede that it is difficult (no walk-in-the-park), but it's by no
means "impossible" ...
I'm not anything special, I just found out what works, and did as much of that as I could.
I also got help from others along the way.
I've got some space to help a few new clients at the moment: one spot is for a 1:1 client, and the other is in my upcoming Accelerate For Clients group program (www.NaturalBornCoaches.com/AFCgroup) ...
If you think either can help make your mission possible, hit "Reply" and tell me more about the goals for your coaching business,
