Preface

Coaching is a growing business globally. (Type ‘Executive Coaching’ into Google and you get 31,100,000 results!) Many people would love to become coaches and earn a living at it.

This e-book will unlock the secrets of running a successful coaching business. It highlights the pragmatic tips to avoiding the classic mistakes made by most coaches!

It will help you to really decide whether it’s the right thing for you, BEFORE you make some costly mistakes.

This book is for you if:

- You are not currently a coach but would like to learn the skill and are unsure of what qualifications and training you need given the wealth of programmes around.

- You currently work as a life coach or counsellor but would like to work in the corporate field so you can earn higher levels of fee than you do from the general public.

- You currently act as a coach in an organisation as an employee/manager but would love to go freelance and want to learn some fast track ways to start a business that provides a real salary.

- You are a Coach training provider who wants to suggest a practical down-to-earth resource for new graduates on their programmes as an aid to helping them develop a business after they have gained the qualification.
