Having health coach training is awesome.
I love being a health coach. I love the school I went to as well. I wish Joshua Rosenthal (founder) lived next door to me because I could listen to him all day.
Like, Joshua, can I pleeeeaase come over for tea and a chat?
So, let’s say that you decided to go through health coach training (my school, other posts about why you should be a health coach here, and here), what now?
How do you earn a living as a Health Coach?
First, do your homework to get clear on what you have to offer the world. Next, decide how you want to deliver those offerings.
Get Clear About Your Mission
I’ve told you before that I chose to take my knowledge and put it to use through writing; on here, and for other sites. I’m also have a book in the works. One thing is for sure; you need to get clear on your energy first. Positive energy draws people to you and creates opportunity. Negative energy may not.
Check in with your inner self about how you feel as a Health Coach.
Do you know how to introduce yourself as a Health Coach? Do you feel confident with your coaching skills, tools and knowledge? What direction do you want to go with your new certification?
It may be necessary to do a little bit of homework before going out into business. Clarify your mission as a coach. Are you ready to take clients?
Who do you want to work for?
I used to be a wedding photographer and even a daycare provider. I’ve had tons of clients in my home over the years and I was at a point in my life where I didn’t want anyone in our home anymore on a daily basis.
There are many jobs available for health coaches that don’t want to totally work for themselves or worry about where to meet with clients. Doctor offices, chiropractors, gyms; there are many opportunties!
I thought it would be neat to work at a spa to offer my services. I would make sure that free spa services were part of the deal for sure.
If you are someone who would rather be your own boss then starting your own business could be the way to go. Establishing a business requires discipline, creativity, good organizational skills, comfort with computer technology and the ability to work well on your own.
Earning a Living as an Health Coach
If you decide to go the route of owning your own business there are so many ways to earn a living as a health coach. One thing you need to do is define your niche. What type of people do you enjoy working with? Men? Women? Mothers? The middle-aged? Young people? Define your niche as distinctly as possible to find the greatest success.
I love how we can reach clients all over th world! Here is a list of business offerings you could include:
Email Newsletter: This is the easiest way to build a list of supporters. Encourage potential clients to sign up for the newsletter emailed to their inboxes weekly or monthly. Treat this group of supporters like gold. They are your bread and butter when it comes to spreading the word about your business.
Webinars: Offer a special webinar program to a group of individuals.
Books: Write and publish books on your areas of expertise and sell them on your website.
Retreats and Workshops: Organize a two-day getaway with Health Coaching at a nearby destination spa. Or advertise and hold a workshop at a local yoga studio, gym or community center.
E-courses: Design a course that you offer online as a download for a fee.
Website Membership: Offer memberships on your website for a fee to build a community. Pick a weekly topic to explore and create a safe space for people to share.
Speaking Opportunities: Market yourself as a speaker and get hired for a fee to speak locally, regionally or nationally.
Affiliate Links: Consider partnering with other like-minded brands and services that offer affiliate opportunities.
Health Coaches have loads and loads of opportunities to earn a living. Just get clear about who you are as a coach, who you want to serve and how you want to do it.
Are you a health coach? Shoot me a message-I want to be friends!
