“Why You Aren’t Attracting The Right Coaching Clients?” By Holly Chantal

Holly Chantal specialises in working with coaches and solopreneurs – in this guest post she shares on a subject many coaches wonder about.

Guest post request

Are you a coach, or someone who works with coaches, and love writing?

Then have you considered writing one of the Friday guest posts for this blog?

I’m always happy to hear from new potential guest posters and I’m currently scheduling 2014 guest post dates.

In this post you’ll find some details about how the Friday guest post feature works.

Most RT’d quote on our Twitter feed each week:

• “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.” (Aristotle)
• “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” (John Quincy Adams)
• “Man must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind him to the fact that each moment of his life is a miracle and a mystery.” (H.G. Wells)
• “We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.” (Samuel Smiles)
• “If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes.” (Andrew Carnegie)

TED Talk’s

Each Tuesday we share a different TED Talk.

You’ll notice that some talks will be obviously directly related to personal development and how you use coaching. On other occasions they will be talks where the topics appear more abstract, they’ll be here to prompt new thoughts by coming at something from a different direction – or just because they struck me as interesting/ funny etc 😉

• Tim Ferriss: Smash fear, learn anything
• Seth Godin: How to get your ideas to spread
• Alanna Shaikh: How I’m preparing to get Alzheimer’s
• Diana Nyad: Never, ever give up
