Research confirms what daily experiences reveal: Your mission to inspire change and foster wellness can sometimes feel like navigating an intricate maze.If you are like most coaches, healers and practitioners you are likely wrestling with these three dragons.Let's take a closer look:<h2 id="301c69ad-ec43-4044-88cd-5c2fe95f9ad2" data-toc-id="301c69ad-ec43-4044-88cd-5c2fe95f9ad2" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">1 The Case of the Fleeting Butterfly</h2>A potential client hovers around your service, soaking in the free wisdom you share, yet they never really make a commitment. Or maybe they reach out, expressing interest, but it abruptly ends there - held back by a wall of fear or indecision. It's like trying to coax a butterfly to land but it simply flutters away.This is where the art of communication becomes crucial. Building trust and understanding your clients' needs and desires are fundamental to transforming these elusive butterflies into committed clients. &nbsp;If your message seems to be lost in translation, it's time to learn how to talk directly to your clients in a language they understand!This is beyond new marketing tricks, this is about truly knowing your client.If this sounds like you it’s time to master what we call orange and blue language! <img src="https://letcheck.b-cdn.net/838/clmj4njh60095nd8zeev51umh.png"><h2 id="1a8ea9e0-f877-4c99-a6f4-5f828030ecaa" data-toc-id="1a8ea9e0-f877-4c99-a6f4-5f828030ecaa" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">2 The 'I Did It All By Myself' Club</h2>Another peculiar phenomenon you might encounter is clients, post their amazing transformations, downplaying the hurdles they overcame or minimizing your contribution.Think of Laura who battled severe anxiety. After working with you, she reclaimed her life. Yet she casually brushed it off as "not that big of a deal" and didn’t continue engaging you so she could grow even more.While this might sting a bit, it's not about seeking applause, but about allowing clients to witness their progress and growth on many levels.If you're finding it hard to keep clients coming back, it's time to learn how to set up and share a structured journey for your client. Regular, motivational and multidimensional check-ins can help your clients see how far they've come and appreciate your vital role in their transformation.<h2 id="e548c24f-ddd2-4d73-846a-b551385d084e" data-toc-id="e548c24f-ddd2-4d73-846a-b551385d084e" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">3 The 'Stuck-in-the-Mud' Puzzle</h2>Despite your best efforts, some clients seem stuck, as if they can't move forward. Your coaching seems to bounce off them, and it feels like you're not getting through. Picture Mark, a smart entrepreneur, who kept putting off taking action, always too busy, even with all the tools and tips you shared.This is where you need to learn how to use short, sharp modern coaching methods to break the cycle right from the start.This approach can get your 'stuck in the mud' clients moving, leading to breakthroughs in their personal and professional lives. In essence, being a coach, healer, or practitioner isn't without its set of challenges. However, recognizing these hurdles and learning how to deal with them can transform your coaching practice, your confidence and ultimately create greater income for your business.We call it tapping into the results, retention, referral, revenue cycle.If you are experiencing any of these challenges please reach out.
