If you’re in the wellness industry, including spiritual, physical, or mental, it can add a reliable stream of income for your business and increased opportunities for personal growth and wellness for your clients.

Having online programs cuts your workload and adds income.  It also reduces your time on personal attention and unnecessary phone calls and meetings.  Online programs develop a bridge between you and your client and helps to ensure they’re following their doctor’s directions correctly.  With the right tools and practice management, it allows you to access day to day progress your client is or isn’t making.

In addition to all the physical benefits of an online program, the professional education, presentation, and delivery adds to your reputation for providing the best and most current services for your clients and shows you keep up with important changes in your industry.  It provides a competitive advantage while offering additional flow of income.

You can also run this as a membership, instead of collecting $97- $6000 per program, you can put your clients into a monthly group.  It gives you the potential to have your business and your income planned out years in advance.

Eventually, you will want to add to this list. For now, these are the important steps to building a flourishing and profitable health coaching business.

6 Steps

☐ 1. Certification

☐ 2. Business Plan

☐ 3. Marketing Plan

☐ 4. Website

☐ 5. Support, Ideas & Accountability

☐ 6. Coach/Client Programs

If you’re a registered dietitian or doctor, you may not need a health coach certification.  You may just need to hire certified health coaches if you’ll be providing coaching, or get some good coaching education.  If you’ll be dealing with something that wasn’t included in your education or scope of practice, you’ll need to determine where to get that education.

A solid business plan as recommended by the SBA will give you something to take to the bank for a loan if that’s what you decide upon.  More important, it gives you a solid foundational plan that you can go back to time and time again to make wise and focused business decisions.

Marketing online is a different bird.  You’ll want to implement a system that builds your list and then another system to nurture and sell.

A website is necessary for today’s business environment.  To be taken seriously and get your information distributed and read, you need a well-branded site.  Attached to your website should be another website, your membership site (to deliver your programs sequentially).  

You know the importance of coaching, otherwise, you wouldn’t be a health coach.  Get a business coach to speed up and increase your success in business.

Coach/Client Programs are the foundation for making money online with courses.  You can create your own.  If you don’t have years to create a professional, well sourced, and topical program.  We have anything you could want.  We’ve developed programs according to the requests of our health professionals.  We continue to build on the library.  Buy one already done and edit it to suit your niche.
