Find the full transcript for this episode at prosperouscoach.com/154.I recommend you also listen to a previous episode called Can You Manifest Coaching Business Success with Your Mind?  Find that at prosperouscoach.com/106, that's episode 106 in your favorite podcast app. It talks about different aspects of manifesting.This episode won’t be repetitive as it’s about one particular part of manifesting, which is attracting ideal clients. Back in 2001 when I was writing curriculum for Coach Training Alliance I came up with the term ideal client. I doubt it was a wholly original idea but it was an aha in my mind.Coaches want to have a financially successful business. I love the idea of prosperity thinking and wanted to include elements of that in the curriculum. But I’ve also used this idea in my own coaching business.Every coach will have preferences about the best clients for them and every client will have preferences about the person that helps them transform. In an ideal world there would be that excellent fit more often than not.Fit is critical for excellent coaching to happen. And, fit is critical for you to earn well as a coach. Look, if you’re attracting non-ideal clients a lot you’re not going to be happy and neither are your clients.If your clients aren’t happy, you have referrals and testimonials. If you’re not happy, you’ll feel drained and burned out.There’s an art to attracting clients. I call it an art because it takes time to learn who is ideal for you and it takes conscious attraction practices to draw them to you.One powerful part of attraction is the words you use on your website, your social posts, your freebie, your content such as blogs, podcast episode and also the words you use to describe your Signature Program.If you’re blessed as I am, you’ll have that word fit reflected back to you. Here’s a review I received for Prosperous Coach Podcast to illustrate what I mean:I absolutely love how open, sincere and generous Rhonda is with her time-tested wisdom in what it takes to build a successful coaching business from scratch.
