Is a Coaching Program Right For You?
Randy - The Hermit - Baustert
You must continue to learn or your business will become stagnate. This is for all businesses not just the Internet Marketing niche but do you have to join a coaching program or get a mentor to do this?
The answer is, it depends. (Don't you hate that answer?) I have had numerous coaches and mentors in the Internet Marketing field some have helped some haven't, but overall the programs have increased my income significantly.
With that said, a coaching program can increase your income or even just get you started but the benefits that you get will depend a lot on you.
* How much experience you have and what your expectations are.
* How well you get along with your coach
* How much you work at it.
* How much believe you have in the program.
Your Expectations - Your expectations must match your level of knowledge. You can't go into an advanced coaching program, not knowing anything, and expect to be profiting next week. Your coaching program needs to reflect your level of experience and move you on to the next level.
If you are a true beginner you need to find coaching that will take you by the hand and get you going. It isn't going to do you any good to learn advance strategies until you know how to take the actions to implement them.
If you are just starting out I would recommend for coaching that you find a coaching program with a low price point that lasts 3 to 6 months. This will be long enough for you to learn a ton of information, but more importantly, to put it into action while you are still in the coaching program. By taking this action if you have any problems you should be able to ask your coach and by all means if you have a problem ask your coach, that is what they are there for.
Relating to Your Coach - Before you join any coaching program check out the person or people running it, sign up to their list(s), read their blog(s) and review their products and sites. Make sure that your prospective coach is some one that you can relate to, by this is should be someone that you respect, admire, has the same ethical view point as you and is further along in the process then you are.
Does your coach need to be a "Guru" or an expert at everything? No, to be honest there is no one that knows everything. You need a coach that is capable of moving you from the level you are at to the next level. This means that your coach only has to be a little farther along then you are.
How Much You Work At It - Yes, you will have to put some effort in to your coaching program. Just like with everything else the more you put in to it the more you will get out of it.
You should have some projects assigned by your coach through the program. Don't skimp on the effort you put into the projects. If you just do the minimum necessary to finish the project you will only get the minimum out of the coaching program. Do the projects and do them again until you understand the purpose of the project as well as you coach does. Maybe even better.
Believe - In anything you do your mindset will usually be the deciding factor that makes the difference between success and failure. The more you believe you can do something the better your chances of achieving it.
If you think you will earn $5,000 by the end of the coaching program then you need to BELIEVE that you will have $5,000 by the end of the coaching program and take all the steps to achieve it. If you don't truly believe then you are better off not spending the money on that coaching.
Belief in your coaches' sales copy or sales pitch is also important. If the sales page for the coaching program says you will be making $100 per day at the end of the program and you don't truly believe it then why would you sign up for it. I know it is hard to put the emotion of a sales pitch aside and think logically, but if you want the most bang for your buck you need to truly believe the pitch.
