3. Each important element of a coaching business growth is laid out with examples and step-by-step fun exercises.

4. Tips on the nuts & bolts AND the soulwork needed to create a successful soul driven coaching business.

5. Through online access, exercises, real-life guidance and a community of kindred spirits are available to you.

Kat believes that coaching as a profession is changing the world in a profound and creative way. She is committed to supporting coaches to have greater and greater impact.

To do that, she knows the importance of staying true to yourself while building a prosperous business.

She also knows the value of having fun all along the way.

Similar titles

  • The Prosperous Coach by Rich Litvin & Steve Chandler. Maurice Bassett, April 2013 -- Kat’s book reaches the same audience, those who really care about being a great coach and succeeding with integrity. However, Kat’s book is more realistic in what it takes to succeed and is current with marketing and online options coaches have available now. The stories in the book are related to someone like the reader who did not have the high-profile advantages and built a successful business from scratch.
  • Get Clients Now by C.J. Hayden. AMACOM Publication May 2013 -- The audience is also caring about coaching as a profession and also associated with CTI. C.J. Hayden covers mainly the marketing, whereas Kat brings in all stages of evolution of a coaching business and covers a lot more ground than just the marketing.
  • The Business Book of Coaching by Ajit Nawalkha & Neeta Bhushan. Self-Published Jan 2020 -- Both books are focused only on the coaching profession and are up to date. Kat’s book is approached in a more fun way and enlightenment, brings things to life in a way that the reader is entertained as well as informed.

Audience

Professional Coaches who want to grow their business and Coach Training Schools looking for a great book on the profession they can recommend to their students.

Advance praise

“Even though I have a marketing background, I wanted to know how to really build a sustainable coaching business over the long term. To hit my goals both from a financial aspect as well as work life balance.

The exercises and templates you provide are really well put together. Having that structure gave me clarity that I now can iterate.

It also really helped that you shared your personal experience and gave examples of your journey over the years.

I really appreciate that you put your complete heart and soul into this. You are 100% committed to us and that really matters. This is sincere from the bottom of my heart.”
- Mukarram Patrawala

"There were so many golden nuggets in your program. I really learned about my niche which taught me how to reach the people I most want to serve.

That grew into being able to design a much more clear and compelling marketing message and to know exactly who I was going after and with that I could target my message and have it all lining up with those people.

That is when all the light bulbs start going off.

I put together a message that was clear and I posted it on FB which was scary, but I got some really good clients from it.

Because I had done the work in your program the coaching relationship with these clients was strong and that has been a huge win for me."
- Rob Zimmerman
