If you've been trying to sell people on the virtues of life coaching but striking out most of the time, try something that gets great results. There are four ways for coaches reach six figure success and do their most soul satisfying work:

1. Become an Icon

But don't get in your own way about this. You don't need expertise or credibility, at first, because you'll tailor your offer to fit that specific market like a glove.
