Hey I know a lot of you are versed in what type of business opportunities are out there. I was thinking of going through business/life coaching program and I wanted some opinions on what program would be good and what your thoughts are on coaching? Basically I want to do more marketing consulting, and I thought maybe having a "coaching" title might help out some what. I am doing the web design/marketing/copywriter thing right now but frankly I am mostly getting web design jobs and I hate dealing with my clients more and more LOL. I have plenty of web work and it seems to never end but, it's getting old. So what do you think?
You may take a look at the actioncoach franchise system triple w actioncoach.com I have a very good friend who's in this line of work. He does (and that's all he wants) is 10 clients with a FULL year commitment from those 10 clients. MAX 18 hours a week. Now - remember - this is no panacea and you have to work at getting to this level - however, if you can relate to people (especially executives or business owners) you will become successful. It's all about time. What time you're willing to invest, how you invest this time and sound outcomes for your time. I'm not going to post how much he earns - it's too incendiary. However, it's extremely lucrative. To Your Success P.S. I also noticed that you said you 'hate my clients' [from web design] and that 'its getting old.... Hmmm.. have you thought about turning your knowledge of web work into a lucrative ability to showcase/teach/lecture those who want to to become web designers? Create a product/service around the fact that you ARE already successful. License the 'Web Design Toolkit' for yearning web designers? I want 30% when you go ahead with this idea! (And no, I'm not joking!) PM me. Let's talk.
Why don't you outsource the job to other people. So that you can earn from the price different. So basically you no need to do the designing.
I do a lot of outsourcing but I have a certain level of quality for my work, so I can't seem to find people at a decent price that will uphold that, through a whole project. Thanks for the advice Nicholas. I wonder what their buy in is?
