There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or a definite goal, at which to aim. -Napoleon Hill Think & Grow Rich! The Need for a Vision One of the biggest problems I see in struggling ADD coaches is that they do not have a powerful and compelling plan for their business. I'm not talking about an actual "business plan"...I'm talking about a vision for success. Without a vision of where you want to take your coaching business, you'll have no motivation to reach new levels. You might be excited when you get a new client. You might rejoice when the client sends you a check. You might be thrilled when you find yourself starting to make it in this business... ...but what happens after those joys where off? What will you do next? Businesses need to have goals in the same way that your clients need to have goals! Without challenges and reward to propel you forward, your coaching business will become stagnant. It will forever be just your hobby, not your income source. The Components of a Powerful & Compelling Vision Your vision should have two components:
What you want to achieve
Why you want to achieve it Ask yourself:
Why am I coaching?
What do I want to achieve through my ADD coaching business?
Why is it important for me to achieve it? Using Your Vision Use your vision to help motivate you when times are tough, and keep you on track when you have decisions to make. When clients drop off and you start to feel bad about your ADD coaching business, review your vision for energy and the motivation you need to keep going. And when new opportunities present themselves, weigh them against your vision to help you make good decisions about where you are headed. The vision that you hold for your ADD coaching Business will consistently help you reach new levels, and achieve your business goals. |
