I once got in trouble for something that I wrote in an ebook of mine, about "Zombie Coaches". 

Here's the offending passage: 

=====

"A 'Zombie Coach' is a term that I coined for someone that looks like they have a real, live coaching business, but in reality they don't. 

This person has all the things that make it look like they're a living, breathing business on the outside. They have a website, maybe a Facebook fan page and a Twitter account, they put out some content and they do the odd discovery call (very rarely). They tell people they're a coach, but deep down they feel like a fraud since they don't have any clients. 

One might might; "Wait Marc! I have five clients!" ... but if those people are paying you peanuts, or aren't paying you anything, they're not clients. 

You deserve to be paid what you're worth as a coach. 

=====

Someone took exception to what she read, and said it was rude of me to equate some coaches with the walkers in The Walking Dead. 

Ok, maybe it was a little harsh. But I stand by my point. 

If you don't have paying clients, you don't have a business. 

Everyone pussyfoots around this, but if more people would shine a light on this then maybe it wouldn't happen as much. 

I hate to see coaches banging their heads against the wall and spending time and energy but not being compensated for it. 

So if I have to, I'll play the role of Sheriff Rick Grimes and do my best to rid the world of Zombie Coaches by turning them into live ones. 

(Fun fact: I was Sheriff Rick for Halloween back in 2014). 

If you're a coach who's tired of not being paid, check out the webinar that I'm doing tomorrow. 

I'll be showing things that will help you get paying clients, without paying for ads.
