The blog provides guidance on both the “outer game” practicalities of building a business, and the “inner game” essentials of attitude and perspective. Topics include niche marketing, client attraction and online marketing for coaches, fees and other coaching business tips, life coaching skills, and key mindsets to attract abundance.

The professional coaching industry has been growing at double digit rates for more than a decade. Thousands of new coaches hang their shingles every year, attracted by the freedom of being their own boss and the promise of entrepreneurial success. The current economic crisis may only accelerate this trend, as people who were already considering launching a second career in coaching get pushed out of the security of their corporate jobs.

But only a small minority of self-employed coaches meet their financial goals. Most don’t come close. Coach training programs are numerous and often rigorous – but they focus on developing coaching skills, and give little or no attention to the nitty gritty of building a coaching business.

Rhonda Hess has devoted her career to teaching independent coaches how to be financially successful. Hess created the Prosperous Coach blog as her most powerful tool in this effort. The site covers the most up-to-date business tips and tools for coaches, including:

· marketing funnels and recurring revenue streams;

· online marketing, list building, and automating the sales process;

· web audio and video;

· blogging and social media for coaches.

The site also provides links to other coaching business resources offered by Hess, including her online coaching business development community, at http://www.prosperouscoachblog.com/products/ , and her selected list of business services for coaches at http://www.prosperouscoachblog.com/resources/ .
