You may have asked yourself or others the question: “Is this a viable business?”.
My Answer
I am now in my 15th year of running a full-time coaching practice. I transitioned from the corporate world, being employed by a company, enjoying the benefits and a regular paycheck, and having some amount of control over what I did. And less control over who they would choose to let go or downsize when business didn’t go according to plan.
I have been self-employed since 2003 and haven’t looked back for a moment.
Transitions like this are never easy. And the rewards can far outweigh the work it takes to get there. Creating a Divorce Coaching practice is no different. When you have your vision, and are compelled to do what you do for reasons bigger than yourself; when you are willing to do what it takes (within legal and ethical bounds) to serve the clients you have identified as your “ideal” client; when you see the difference you make with each and every client and the others who depend on them, it makes it all worth the effort.
You must ask yourself these questions to determine if this is a viable business for you.
- What is motivating me to choose this path?
- How will I leverage my strengths to make this happen?
- Who can I count on to do the things that I am not so good at?
- What allies do I have to support my taking this from idea to successful practice?
