The following is an excerpt from the CoachStart Manual.

Don’t get sidetracked in the early stages by developing brochures, stationery, web sites, or other long-term marketing methods.  Even business cards, registering a business and your welcome pack can wait.  You want practice, practice, practice!  And you know enough people already to get this practice, without using any fancy methods.  Don’t distract yourself with long-term methods — they can be a way of avoiding coaching right now.  Work through your confidence, and explore coaching with your current network.

If you would like more information on exactly how to have fifty people say yes to a coaching session with you, you’ll be glad to know this is covered in detail in my ICF Conference speech: ‘Getting the First Fifty Clients’.  You can access this online (and on CD) at:
