What I mean by that is that I felt I could include it within my self-image. I could imagine people saying yes to the new rate. If I couldn\u2019t imagine it, I didn\u2019t raise my rate.<\/p>\n<p>First I raised it to $200, then $250 then $300 over the first two years. Then I went to 3 sessions a month for the same $300, then $400. A couple of years ago I went to $400 per hour, and my clients split that up in a few different ways-three half hours, two 45 minute sessions, one session a month for $400, or some work with me in groups of three.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give coaches about charging clients?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t make up a rate you think you should charge and wish you could get, but don\u2019t feel willing to receive. I think it\u2019s better to coach 20 people at $100 per moth than having a rate of $300 or $400 and only having a few clients. You need to coach. Coaching will develop your self-image as a coach, and as you witness your impact you will naturally increase your rate. Of course, this is only true if you are a GOOD coach. So make sure to develop your skills and your personal depth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is taken from David&#8217;s interview with Leza Danly in\u00a010 Super Coaches.
