The following is an excerpt from the CoachStart Manual. 

What holds back most coaches in the early years is lack of confidence.  The best way to bust through this barrier: coach fifty people!  It doesn’t matter if it’s just a practice session or if it turns into three months of coaching.

Clients are “gold” for you – no matter what the fee.  So don’t let your fee or lack of confidence stand between you and coaching many people.

Every client you have gives you:

• The feeling that you are really a coach, not a fraud
• A practice that looks a little more busy (“Sorry — that time slot is not available.”)
• The potential for referrals
• Free training!
• More and more confidence with every session you do, and lastly
• Possible revenue — either immediately or down the track
