Being a health coach is an amazing profession where you get to do rewarding work helping people to achieve their highest potential.

The problem is that there are so many different directions you could take your career and you may feel like you’re missing out if you don’t explore them all (right away)…

However, it is very rare for a health coach to become highly successful while focused on multiple projects and services right from the beginning.

So on today’s Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess podcast episode 328 we’ll discuss why you must beware of SOS – shiny object syndrome and what to do instead to stay on the path to success!

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing
    Interested in creating courses, groups, eBooks, quizzes, funnels, and email newsletters? Sure they can all be great, but what do your clients really want? They want you to help them and take them by the hand with one-on-one coaching in order to overcome their problem.

  2. Never Lose Sight of the Main Thing
    On last week’s episode 326 we talked about not losing sight of being the health coach that you wished you had. No gimmicks, no tricks, no hoopla, just high quality coaching.

  3. Once Successful Add On
    We’re not saying you can’t add groups, courses, quizzes, and more, but it’s important to build up a clientele, become successful as a coach, and then create other avenues where you can flourish and serve more people. Building on success is far better than chasing it every time a new business opportunity comes your way.
