I was having the last session with a favorite client the other day.

Last sessions are a bittersweet time for all.

Your clients lose an accountability partner and the structure that helps them stay inspired and make things happen. From here on out they’ll have to hold themselves accountable.

• You lose their unique presence in your life.
• You’ve been holding space for their growth and it’s time for closure.
• You’ve seen them transform and learned so much from this unique human being.

My last calls with coaches are often pick-Rhonda's-brain sessions. They ask about client management, little business building details and insider tips that will help them avoid pitfalls or shorten learning curves.

The big question on every coach’s mind, that they are often afraid to ask until the last minute, is … how long will it take me to be successful?

Is it 3 months, 6 months, 2 years?

I’ll share what I told my client with you now.

I'd love to hear from you. Stay inspired and make things happen! - Rhonda Hess, Prosperous Coach

My coaching business was my first foray into entrepreneurship after 20 years in corporate roles. Talk about an identity crisis! Okay, let’s reframe that to a chance to blossom and mature.

Many of my clients who are new coaches are in the same place making that transition from employee to full time coaching.

It’s going to require some recalibration of your mindset and reorientation to your responsibilities.

Think of it like a makeover.

You uncover parts of yourself that have been buried under a persona you felt was necessary for your corporate job.

You can help those parts to find their voice. It is hugely empowering to bring more of your authentic self to your business.

The good news is that your identity is more fluid and innate than you might think. Plus, all of your core values, talents and skills can come with you into your business.

It will take courage and patience. You’ve got loads of that and you don’t have to make this identity transition alone.

Let's dig into the 6 big shifts from employer to business owner as a coach and how to ace them.

Most of Rhonda's episodes about pricing https://prosperouscoachblog.com/topics/podcast/money-mastery-podcast/

Has a coaching client asked you for a refund? It’s a symptom.

Coaches unwittingly create requests like that by undervaluing themselves, which shows up in

· messaging

· offers

· pricing, and

· enrollment processes

How you value yourself colors what prospects and clients experience with you.

Your uncertainty breeds their uncertainty. They’ll show that by asking for:

· References

· Guarantees

· An escape hatch

They’ll ask questions that seem mistrustful which knocks down your confidence.

That painful cycle stops when you decide to own your value. And, YES, you can simply DECIDE!

Then, in every way you operate your business, show that you’ve owned your value.

Let’s talk about practical ways to generate faith in yourself and your prospects faith in you.
