Rules Of All Coaching Programs

by amuro
2 replies
Every coach has his or her own ways of teaching.

But that itself does not matter.

What matters is that upon going into ANY coaching, you have to forget everything you know or think you know about what you are going to learn and start listening and doing everything your coach tells you.

Because if you don't, your coach will be damn pissed off.

Your coach does not mind your educational background. Nor does he mind your past.

Instead what he minds is your way of thinking and whether you do what he says.

Because it is from those 2 factors that determine success.

Not just on your part.

But on your coach's part as well.

I am not just talking about internet marketing but other areas of life as well.

    Well you do want to tell your coach exactly your knowledge level, so he knows where to start the course with you. I never ask people to forget everything when I`m coaching, instead I ask them to use everything they already know in their advantage.

    Amuro,

    Have you ever paid for business coaching? At what level?

    Because, on the one hand, you're right about each coach having their own ways/methods of teaching.

    But the rest of your post is pure B.S. And no, they're not the "rules of all coaching programs."

    I've paid in the tens of thousands of dollars to my business coach who is a multi-millionaire. (It was well worth it and a tremendous privilege to learn from her.)

    Generally speaking, a professional business coach ISN'T "damn pissed off" if you fail to follow their advice. They might not like it, but they also don't have emotional attachments to your actions or results. They're there to provide guidance and direction. What you do with it is on you. They don't take responsibility for your results -- and rightly so.

    DON'T "forget everything you know"! Different business coaches might be right for you at different time periods. Rarely is a business coach providing a beginning-to-end solution. It's OK to layer in your own existing/previous knowledge and experience to what you're learning, especially if you're "tweaking" what you're learning to your specific niche/market.

    That's simply smart application of what you're learning from your coach. (I've spent tens of thousands of dollars on courses and coaching and am ALWAYS combining and applying my knowledge from different sources to whatever project I'm currently working on.)

    You ARE right about doing what your coach tells you to do. Don't hire a coach and then argue with them or ignore them. There's always more than one way to do something. You hired your coach to learn how THEY do it. So don't argue with them, saying "But So-and-So does it this way."

    If they're more successful than you, doing what you want to do, pay attention. Listen to and follow their advice. Tweak it for your own situation/market/niche and then apply it.

    Smart entrepreneurs are always learning new things: reading books, buying courses, going to seminars and enrolling in coaching programs. Smart entrepreneurs are continually upgrading their skills and experience, combining ALL of their current knowledge/experience and applying it in a smart way to whatever project they're currently working on for best results.
