SO WHAT EXACTLY IS 1:1 COACHING?

Coaching is a way for you to support any person who has any challenge that wants to work through it with a 1:1 guide.

Therapists are often most familiar with life coaching which is the most similar to therapy. And this type of coaching helps someone work through their emotional and/or relational issues. But coaching can address other areas as well, like a client’s health, business, passions, or hobbies.

Coaching offers the most in-depth transformation for the client because the support is delivered individually. This also allows the coach to be present, hold space, and respond in real time to their client - all clinical skills you already have.

One stark difference between coaching and therapy is that a coaching client is often actively seeking a coach who’s “been there.” Meaning the coach brings much more of themself into session and this is both wanted and encouraged by the client.

Coaching is similar to therapy but tends to be much more lucrative and you can make a similar income to you full caseload from just a handful of clients.

BUT THAT MAY BRING UP A WHOLE OTHER SET OF FEELINGS…

 
 
 

I mean, you’re a therapist right?

Your calling is to serve. To hold the stories and shine the light - not to sling your wares…

BUT I’M CALLING THIS OUT.

Because, I bet you’re also feeling the weight of a 1:1 caseload. The burnout, the income ceiling, the impact limitations…

Online income can be the way through this.

The way to reach a much broader population of people who need you. A way to repurpose and repackage your clinical skills. And a way to move past trading dollars for hours.

 
 
 

Empathy and Success Are Not Mutually Exclusive

HERE’S WHY COACHING WOULD BE GREAT FOR YOU

  • COACHING IS EASY - You do not have to learn a single new skill to be able to add a coaching income stream.

  • COACHING IS FAMILIAR - 1:1 coaching is the same business model as 1:1 therapy. So attracting clients and building a caseload will be similar to what you already do.

  • COACHING IS BOUNDARY-LESS - You don’t need to stick to the state(s) you’re licensed in and you don’t have to worry about where your client lives.

  • COACHING IS PROFITABLE - The expenses to maintain a coaching income stream are super low and the income potential is the best out of every other online offer. So your profit margin can be quite high.

  • COACHING IS PACKAGEABLE - You don’t have to worry about cancellations, no-shows, or clients ghosting you. Coaching is sold as a package and prepaid.

 THAT ALL SOUNDS AMAZING RIGHT? BUT BEFORE YOU JUMP IN, THERE ARE SOME PROS AND CONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER:

 

–– The Pros

  • Online income offers a way to expand your impact and income without increasing your caseload

  • You also don’t need to expand to a group practice or move away from your current clients to fill a management role

  • You can use the clinical skills you’ve busted your butt to hone in a whole new, exciting way

  • You can move beyond the borders of your licensure by traveling more or serving clients/customers in other cities and countries.

 

–– The Cons

  • Coaching can tiptoe close to therapy and can walk an ethical line

  • There can be a technological learning curve

  • Online income streams are a different type of business and demand you to be a different type of business owner

  • As a therapist, you’re likely used to being in the background. Online income requires you to be seen and heard in a new or different way.

 

Ok, you’ve given it some thought and online income still feels right - what’s next?

Now it’s time to arm yourself with knowledge.

By taking this quiz, you’ve demonstrated that you want to know more about what is possible as a therapeutic entrepreneur. You’ve learned some of the basics of coaching and can probably imagine yourself creating your 3 month package.

But there are still some blanks to fill in like what you should charge and how many people you need to market to so you can start to see some steady money coming in.

PLUS, WHAT ABOUT THOSE OTHER OPTIONS YOU DIDN’T GET AS A RESULT OF THE QUIZ??

If you’re honest, there were a couple of questions where it was tough to choose the best answer…

It’s a good idea to do your due diligence with a bit more research so you can answer these questions and have the information you need to build your online income stream on a firm foundation.

 

But wait, who am I to offer this quiz and help you with an online income stream anyway?
