Why Successful Coaches Are Using Their Intuition
Aug 07, 2023Here’s why your intuition is the most important part of any business growth plan and why trusting it is essential if you want to manifest more clients and make a living as a coach.
I’ve noticed something about heart-centered coaches who are making a good living from their businesses (let’s say $200K a year and above).
They are all using processes that they intuitively developed. They are sharing those processes with their clients, who are excited to learn those specific processes because of the outcome they promise.
I took a course from a coach who was teaching a system for using advertising, and I was drawn to it because I have yet to really implement advertising in my business and I was curious. But, I could have taken any course from anyone.
The reason I was called to take her specific program was that she’d created an advertising system intuitively and it was working really well for her. Her system sounded really interesting to me, and it aligned with how I like to work.
I don’t think I would have signed up for a course if someone had just said something like “this is how you should set up ads.” In fact, I didn’t sign up for any of the courses that were advertised that way.
I signed up for hers, because she said she had a unique way of doing ads that was relaxed and simple, that she had intuitively designed.
The reason this works so well is that we’re all uniquely gifted in our own way. Even if we’re working in the same industry, even if we’re in the same niche, even if we have similar ideas…we are still uniquely gifted at something specific within all of that.
That coach trusted her own intuition and was willing to experiment inside her business to refine her intuitive idea. This is literally all it takes to be successful as a coach. If you’re wondering what to do to make a living as a coach, this is it.
I recently saw another successful coach talking about how she was making $300K a year because she had trusted her intuitively guided idea around how she shared her content with potential clients.
I’m good friends with a hugely successful coach who created her own system, through intuition, of helping women love their bodies.
And, my own business got started because of my own intuitive process I developed. Then it soared up into the $250-300K realm from another intuitive process I developed - my system for helping heart-centered coaches clarify and articulate who they work with and manifest enough clients to finally make a living as a coach.
Your intuition is already telling you things every day as you work within your business. While you’re coaching, while you’re writing, while you’re thinking about what to do next…underneath every decision, intuition is there.
There is something specific and unique that you can share with clients that they will want, and they will want it from YOU.
Intuition is like a matchmaker. It helps us develop our unique and specific process that specific people out there want to have. That’s why it works so well to trust your intuitive ideas!
If you look at what you do naturally with your clients, without even thinking about it, you’ll have your first clue as to what your intuition is showing you.
Within your work there’s already a process you do or are starting to develop that is uniquely yours. When you get curious and wonder what you’re already doing to help yourself and your clients, you’ll start to see it.
The more you can write this process down and start to explore it, the easier it will be to figure out what your divinely guided intuitive gift is.
You can get curious every day and ask yourself what you’re already doing to solve the problem you encountered and tackled that you now want to help others with in their lives.
This process that is intuitively, uniquely yours, will be the core of your signature program that you create. This program is the engine that runs your business, which is why your intuition is showing you what to put in it.
It all fits together like a lock in a key.
Your intuition shows you how you solve the problem you will help clients solve.
Your solution is the core of your signature program.
Your signature program is the way you deliver the solution to your clients.
Your messaging out in the world is all about how you uniquely solve the problem your clients want solved.
Your potential clients see your messaging and get excited about how you uniquely solve their problem.
Your potential clients register for your program and get great results in your program.
Everything gains momentum because it’s divinely driven from your intuition and perfectly aligned to manifest your soulmate clients to you.
Sometimes, it can really help to look at where you’re “breaking the rules” when it comes to the problem you solve for yourself and others. This is often where our inner intuitive wisdom is really shining, because it’s breaking the mold and showing us a unique way of solving the problem.
What does everyone say is “the way” to solve that problem, but you know there’s a different path that provides even better results?
When I was first working as coach and was helping clients heal from pelvic pain using mind-body techniques, I was breaking the rules that said you had to do specific diets and specific avoidance practices in order to heal.
Sharing about why that was the case and how mind-body healing worked instead, and why, was the key to my early success. My unique way of helping women heal was different from other mind-body approaches and it was different from traditional medical approaches. It was uniquely mine, intuitively developed.
This is actually the most exciting part of being a coach. :-) You get to create your own path, your own unique fingerprint, your own style. Not only do you get to do this, but it’s the very thing that makes you successful.
Forget all the rules. Throw them out. See what happens when you break them. Beethoven didn’t write amazing symphonies that stood the test of time because he followed the rules of musical composition. Maya Angelou didn’t write incredible, powerful books because she followed the rules of autobiographical writing.
Working out where you need to break the rules and seeing what is unique about your work is a major part of what I do with my clients in my one month 1-1 program for heart centered coaches. We get clear on what your intuition is telling you so that you can develop your unique process that is the core of your signature program.
I’ll help you see what problem you solve and how you solve it using my intuitive gift, which I call the Celtic Seer. That part of me quickly and easily sees your coaching niche for you and then we can make sure it’s aligned to make money. Seeing your calling is my calling!
Then we’ll design your signature program and run a beta test, which means you’ll start getting paid for your program right away. That’s how effective it is to have an engine for your business, and the sooner you develop it, the sooner you can see your income expand.
