Other episodes mentioned in this episode:

#1 Target a Viable Audience (Episode 266). You know I talk about this a lot. It’s so critical and so many people step over it or just don’t do it quite thoroughly enough.

#2 Discover Their BIG Acute Problem And Top Goal (Episode 65). So many coaches choose a general or chronic problem for their niche

#3 Develop a Signature System To Reach Their Top Goal (Episode 66). Again, I don’t really believe in just doing so many sessions per month. I believe in developing a program, a structure so that your clients know you know what you’re doing and feel excited about investing more with you.

#4 Design A Simple Business Model (Episode 5). You wouldn’t believe how many coaches step over having a set business model. They don’t really know what it is, and I certainly didn’t when I started.

#5 Create a Positive Customer Journey with Strong Conversion Processes (Episode 236). This involves your website and so much more. You need to be able to think like your future clients

#6 Set Up Enrollment Opportunities and Learn How to Enroll (Episode 52)

#7 Build Trust with a Visibility Strategy (Episode 146) This is the way you’re going to market — the way you’re going to stay in front of your target audience and let them know what you have for them. But, not in a salesy way, instead in a generosity marketing kind of way.

#8 Create a Valuable Customer Experience and Collect Social Proof (Episode 271). This is after they enroll with you. You must be sure that what you are doing feels good to them so you can collect valuable testimonials about what it was like to work with you.

#9 Set Up Internal Systems To Save Time (Episode 34). This is something I didn’t do for a long time and now I’m a systems maven!

#10 Develop High Payoff Action Habits (Episode 223)

You’re trying to write your web copy and trying to figure out exactly what you help your ideal clients accomplish in your Signature Program.

But fears and doubts are clouding your judgment and you are in danger of playing too small in your coaching business, which will cost you.

You are worried about promising too much.

Get ready for a mindset shift!

So first, all new coaches worry about overpromising. But experienced coaches do not. What do you think is going on there?

It’s certainly NOT because they soft pedaled the specific outcomes they help their clients achieve. Because coaches who stay safe in their messaging will not attract and enroll enough clients to survive in their business.

And it’s NOT because they are lying. You can’t stay in business long as a coach if you don’t operate from integrity.

So where is the line between what you can promise and what you shouldn’t promise?

Looking back on my journey as a coach and business owner, I see how emotional intelligence has played a part in my success. I had so much to learn. Still do.

Coach training and coaching clients improves emotional intelligence. Just raising your ability to listen is a first step. Clear communication skills makes for a solid foundation.

From there add empathy and understanding that everyone is differently abled and complex, coming from different degrees of privilege and disadvantage.

Self awareness is critical factor in EI — an unflinching understanding of your own strengths, weaknesses, beliefs and motivation.

As a new coach constantly stretched beyond comfort zones, the roller coaster of self doubt and elation can keep you scrambling. Greater emotional intelligence helps.

How can you raise more EI? Let's talk about that!
