[00:08:46] "Confidence is more important than credibility."  Christian has to say this for anybody afraid to step up in their coaching profession. It's not about your degrees or credentials but instead having the ability to connect with your audience and impart your knowledge in a way that is accessible and meaningful.  [00:11:39] While there are many ways to attract clients, Christian attests to the remarkable effectiveness of a free session.

Lack of clarity is often the biggest factor why the people you serve are stuck and delayed in progress. As a coach, investigate and dismantle these beliefs and help them resolve the challenges holding them back. [26:33] So many people have the illusion that they can do it themselves without a mentor or a coach.  Think about it: we've all had teachers and mentors at some point in our lives. Even the most accomplished athletes work with coaches to hone their skills. Having a coach can make all the difference.  And while some may argue that they don't need help, the truth is that even if you could do it alone, it's much easier and faster with a coach by your side. [35:24] The person you invest with gets some money – but you get their wisdom, advice, and shortcuts.  You, as the client, decide the value of your investment when you take up an offer for next-level coaching programs. What you pay for is their experience, wisdom, and advice - the precious shortcuts that can help you reach your goals faster.  --------------- Christian Mickelsen is a leading authority on personal development and coaching, and is the author of 4 number one best-selling books.
