Why do Professional Coaches invest the time and money into 1:1 Mentor Coach Support?

There are many reasons, but over the past 5 years I’ve noticed the most common ones include: 

1) Personalized subject matter expertise from someone with a proven track record for results.

2) Support with organized workflow and accountability to get a new business properly set up with strong systems to grow the revenues of the business… or to grow an existing business.

3) Aspiring coaches realize there is a big difference between the basic group training about setting up a new coaching business and actually setting one up effectively and growing to meet goals.

4) 1:1 support accelerates their business opportunities and coaching competencies… leading to them doing the right things, at the right times and in the right ways, which in turn saves them time, energy and money.

What’s the difference between the (3) tool boxes Cody can draw from to help Professional Coaches: why is this a good thing?

Cody’s clients get the benefit of three kinds of helping skill sets:

1) Tool Box #1: Coaching skills

2) Tool Box #2: Entrepreneur Consulting skills

3) Tool Box #3: Training & facilitation skills

With his COACHING “hat” on, Cody uses his many years of full-time experience to bring you deep listening and powerful questions meant to help you discover clarity about your best next steps.  With his CONSULTING “hat” on, Cody brings you his knowledge and experience around best practices in Professional Coaching & Entrepreneurialism, leading you to do the right things, at the right times and in the right ways, which in turn saves you time, energy and money.  With his TRAINING “hat” on, Cody patiently brings you skill building tools in both coaching and business competencies. 

The best part is that YOU get to choose which hat or hats you’d prefer he wear when working with you.  Many times this saves you the time and trouble of finding multiple subject matter experts who can each only offer one type of support.

What is the difference between A-la-carte Mentor Coaching and the Business Roadmap to Profitability package?

A:  In A-la-carte engagements:

• You decide with Cody’s help, how many sessions you’d like to invest in for the solution you’re looking for.

• You bring the Agenda (Topic and desired Take-Away)... and choose which “hat” you prefer Cody to wear in the session: Coach, Consultant or Trainer.

• You have Cody’s undivided attention in-session (phone or zoom).  You have “light touch” options to reach Cody by way of short emails and texts, between sessions.

B:  In the Business Roadmap to Profitability package:

• Cody creates a private, collaborative digital workspace in Trello for you and he where you’re given a guided roadmap to build out your ideal business plan.

• Cody populates this roadmap driven shared space with the best resources and practices to accelerate the creation of your new business, making it ready for you to launch with confidence and excitement.

• You have 10 one-hour zoom sessions where Cody supports your progress in the Business Roadmap to Profitability program

• You have Cody’s undivided attention in-session.  You also have unlimited access to Cody’s support in-between sessions, Monday - Friday, in your Trello Workspace.  

What is Cody’s conviction about the primary areas of competency that will predict the degree of success a Professional Coaching entrepreneur will experience?

A:  These are the top two…

1. Willingness to learn, master and consistently use best-practices around coaching, service delivery, marketing & sales skills

2. Proper mindset management around fear, limiting beliefs, growth (both personal and professional), success and charging people money

What can we learn from a simple campfire that tells us what it takes to reach our success goals as a new Professional Coaching entrepreneur?

Science tells us we cannot start a fire until (3) elements are present and in the right ratio to one another: Fuel / Oxygen / Ignition.  Over decades of entrepreneurialism, Cody has learned that there are also three elements required in harmony to start a promising new business.  Focused Time, Focused Energy and Focused Financial Investment.

Why might someone seriously consider investing in Cody’s Business Roadmap to Profitability(BRP) package while still in their basic Coach Training group course?

The main reason someone would want to seriously consider investing in Cody’s BRP package at the same time they are in training is if they are wanting to accelerate their readiness to launch their new business with best-practices and honestly have at least 5 hours to work on their business plan each week.

What is the most common reason good Professional Coaches fail to become successful entrepreneurs?

There are actually two highly common reasons Cody has observed over the years...  

• The first and most troublesome is a lack of entrepreneurial business skills, particularly mastering marketing and sales best practices. 

• The second being unrealistic expectations about how much focused time, energy and money it takes to create a new business that can eventually produce meaningful net income, month after month, year after year.
