Let’s start with the number 1 rule:<\/p>\n
Nup. You either know your stuff – or you don’t, and all the namby-pamby, wrist-wringing “coaching certifications<\/em>” in the world aren’t going to transform you into someone who actually knows what the fuck they’re doing – and HOW they can help.<\/strong><\/p>\n But what you do<\/em> need to know is how to actually set up and launch your business – finding your niche<\/a> can be a toughie – because it’s NOT enough to just say “I help women find their purpose<\/em>” – their fucking what? What on EARTH are you talking about? Could you beeeeee any more vague<\/em>? (Chandler voice).<\/em><\/p>\n You need to know some essential tech if you’re not from a techy background – over time you’ll discover new apps and tools which work for you because we all have different tastes of course.<\/p>\n Great onboarding tools for new coaches are Honeybook<\/a> or Dubsado<\/a> which require a bit of personalisation, but really help you automate what you’re going to do, book appointments, take payments, etc., etc. <\/p>\n You’re also going to need an email provider to send out your newsletters. I’ve tried a whole ton of them but have come back to ConvertKit<\/a> simply because it works. It integrates with “everything”, has great deliverability (except when it gets attacked by gremlins and ends up in spam – but none of them are infallible<\/em>!). *My link is an affiliate link which means you’ll get 30 days free – and if you decide to sign up with them, I’ll get a small commission. Not enough for my own private Caribbean island – but I’ve got 2 small boys I need to keep in Warhammer here! <\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
