The Prosperous Coach: Increase Income and Impact for You and Your Clients (The Prosperous Series)

The target audience for this book is every coach, from aspiring to experts, regardless of where they are in their journey. This book covers some common concerns of coaches and their practice, such as client relationship building, impacts on clients and coaching practice, practice profitability, coach professional development, and mindset shifts. This book aims to encourage coaches struggling to get clients, create an impact, or generate income in their practice. This book had many gems, from Creating clients to Value-driven coaching to creating a practice that can thrive without the Internet. Chandler and Litvin continuously recounted their experiences to support the advice or wisdom conveyed. Sometimes, the suggestion was more philosophical due to the narrow view of coaching niches that could apply the advice. For example, I needed help understanding how corporate coaches could apply most of the advice given. The environments between personal (Life coaching) and organizational coaching are vastly different, especially in their approach. However, all the advice was clearly made, no matter how subjective the reader may be. I would recommend "The Prosperous Coach: Increase Income and Impact for Your Clients" and have done so several times since to coaches looking to elevate their coaching practice financially and make a meaningful impact on their clients. The book provides a unique perspective beyond traditional coaching techniques, focusing on the mindset, strategies, and principles that can lead you to success in the coaching profession. With a combination of philosophical insights and practical advice, there's valuable guidance for coaches who want to create a practice that is financially prosperous, deeply fulfilling, and impactful.

I GAVE A 5 STAR RATE BECAUSE IT delivers what the title clearly states: A coach that can transform himself into a prosperous one. It tells you in a very casual way, as if you were chatting with the authors and at the same time there are some parts of the book that literally made me take a leap of faith a sensation that I was in a profound, transforming and meaningful conversation with them. By reading the title it seems that is written to coaches, nonetheless, anybody with a medium knowledge of what is a life coach will benefit from it. One of the reason I found this book fascinating is that when I was at Michael Neill Supercoach Academy last year, and been a Neurologist I was lost the first 2 months because I was told that Transformative Coaching did not have a specific method, no specific way to do it, and I was in real shock. In Neurology if you do not have a routine or method, you are going to kill or badly harm a patient. Ah... But here I found a method what to do to become a total failure and also what to withhold and how to say the right thing at the right moment and at the right time. I love both authors being honest about making mistakes, not only at the beginning of their careers but also currently!!!!!!. (Sorry rich I have to put this in capital letters) THEIR HONESTY, THEIR WISDOM AND LACK OF COCKINESS, STRUCK ME. ON THE OTHER HAND THE FACT OF BEING ACCOUNTABLE:IN OTHER WORDS: HAVING A COACH IS INDISPENSABLE TO SOAR, GLIDE, SHIFT AND FLY AS I WHISH. IN ORDER TO BE A GREAT COACH YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR CLIENT AS DEEP AS YOU CAN BUT FIRST YOU HAVE TO BE AND BREATH VERY DEEP, FEELING COMFORTABLE BY FEELING UNCONFORTABLE (THEIR WORDS NOT MINE) YOU CAN NOT GO VERY DEEP ALONE...THAT IS COCKINESS...AT LEAST I NEED GUIDANCE AND BE ACCOUNTABLE...NOW I FEEL DEEP INSIDE MY CHEST WHAT A REAL COACH IS. I emphasize on the capital letters because that was the first thing that Rich asked me not to do and secondly, I never thought of having a coach. Now I realize that not having one is the easiest way to lie to myself and what is worse....believe the lie. I am coaching, coaching and having many NO but I always take that NO as a piece of information not rejection, I ask, "Would you mind what part of what I said or did not say made you to decide NO? and is there a way we can arrange this...Many times I get a second NO...Better this client does not want to become a better person or wealthy etc.. This book has changed my life, 180 degrees, it has being an eye and mind opener. I have in my room and on my office several printed quotes from the book but the one that is in triplicate is "YOUR CLIENTS ARE PAYING FOR THEY DREAMS. AND THEIR DREAMS ARE PRICELESS," My mission and I now know why its fun to be told NO is to dive deep enough that I can create a space where my client will make his/her dreams possible, NOW I AM A REAL COACH, STARTING BUT I FEEL THAT I KNOW IN MY HEART WHAT TO SAY, VERY LITTLE, BECASUSE LISTENING IS THE KEY I recommend this book without hesitation to any coach who wants to earn money and serve and move out of the way and let the real you take over your life Ariel Martinez MD

This book is truly a miracle. There are so so many "experts" who love to give you advice on building your practice. Advice that in fact has absolutely nothing to do with coaching itself but only distances you further and further from what coaching is really all about - service. In this book Steve Chandler and Rich Litvin gives you the power back. The power to honor what you know in your gut to be true. At times the book is painstakingly simple, which is why I believe it's so effective. There are no bells and whistles - it's clear, clean and to the point. Rarely have I experienced that a book has held as much timeless power and wisdom as this one. I couldn’t put it down and it’s become the no.1 book I recommend to anyone who’ll listen (or won’t for that matter!). The book found me at time when I was going through the final woes of my struggles and I can honestly say that this book is what finally pulled me out of misery and completely transformed the way I value myself, my time and my craft as a coach. It’s a huge beam of light in this world. I am reminded of one of my favourite quotes from A Course in Miracles which reads… “A miracle is never lost. It may touch many people you have not even met, and produce undreamed of changes in situations of which you are not even aware.” I consider Steve getting together with Rich and writing this book as a true miracle. A huge testament of love for the craft coaching is. The content of the book is like a pebble being thrown into water, the ripple effect will spread far and wide. I highly recommend the book to you who feels lost listening to experts, you who know in your gut that there's another way of doing business. Much love & light, Mariaestela

To the point, practical and lots of takeaways. It's a great map, which will make our coaching journey guilt-edged. It's an icebreaker and confidence booster. Well done and thanks to both

I read this book. Then applied like 15% of it. Which made me at least an extra $60k this year. It’s truly powerful and beautiful, and I can’t wait to see what happens now that I’m reading it a second time. If you’re a coach, get this book. Now.

This book came to me after I performed a Google search to find a book to grow my coaching practice. Of course, other books appeared in the search results but I’m so glad that I choose this one and ready it cover to cover. Now, its time to take action. Go and create clients by having Deep Coaching conversations.

Rich is a powerful coach and I know that because I have experienced him. He's fearless and does not hold back. He tells it like it is. And he does it from a vulnerable, human space with the intention to serve you best. This book is an extension of Rich, and like him, it tells you the truth about how to build a successful coaching practice, and what you need to do in order to be the kind of fearless coach that will always have clients. When I first met Rich, I listened to all his webinars, read all his blog posts and studied his interviews. Each time he shared so many powerful ideas it was hard to keep up. I have a notebook full of them! What I like about 'The Prosperous Coach' is that it is all there, at my fingertips. No need to go looking for it any more. My job now is to integrate all the powerful ideas both Rich and Steve share in this book each day by rolling up my sleeves and doing The Prosperous Coach's work. This is no doubt a book that any new, or experienced coach or consultant MUST freaking read. If you're not a coach yet, and you're considering becoming a coach, READ this book before you even sign up for an expensive coach training program. What Steve Chandler and Rich Litvin share in this book is what really works. Specially if you're someone who is spiritually based and want to bring your spiritual values of growing, giving, and connecting into the business of being a coach. Since I started applying the principles shared in this book I've doubled up my fees, and after struggling for so long, I've now stabilized my income and I'm working with exciting, highly committed, and fun clients that are a good fit for me and my coaching style. Thanks Steve and Rich for helping me become a more powerful and prosperous coach. - Gabriel Gonsalves, Chief Courage Officer at [...]

Wow. I bought this book off the recommendation from Stacey Boehman, an amazing and masterful sales coach and this book has been the answer to the question of my heart. I have been unsuccessfully building a business based on principles that do Not align with who I am or how I want to show up in the world and I am so beyond ecstatic that this book shows how I can create and run my business another way, MY way.
