Cliffs Notes

Creating free content is an amazing way to demonstrate the amount of insight and value that you could provide to potential clients. I'm often asked the question.... "How do I decide how much content to give for free so that potential clients will still hire me?" Almost everyone is shocked when I say.... "GIVE IT ALL AWAY FOR FREE." I explain why this is my philosophy of content creation in this very short podcast episode.   I have other podcasts that might be of interest to you.

I recently launched a brand new podcast called "Upgrade Your Peer Group - The Power of Mastermind Groups." Knowing that this new podcast would be of great interest to those who are looking to build a profitable coaching career, I decided to share a recent episode of this new podcast here in the Cliff's Notes on Profitable Coaching podcast. In this episode, I share the most common questions I get related to mastermind groups. For each question, I share an answer off the top of my head, with what comes to my mind today, as my answers to many of these questions have evolved as I have continued to experience the Mastermind Principle in my own personal and profession journey through life. Question 1 - What Is A Mastermind Group?  Question 2 - What Are Some of The Benefits of A Mastermind Group? Question 3 - Should I find a group to join or just start my own?  Question 4 - Where Can I Find A Mastermind Group?  Question 5 - How many people should be in a mastermind group?  Question 6 - How D

In this episode, I share a coaching conversation that I recently had with Abd Aref via the Free The Dream Clubhouse Community. Here is the question that was posed… Whenever I make a decision, I'd always set out the pros and cons. And then I would predict the outcome. I will also communicate to seek some advice from people who have already made decisions similar to mine. But the thing is that I ALWAYS GET STUCK in this stage where I always think about WHAT IF… , WHAT IF… , WHAT IF… , WHAT IF… It leaves me emotionally drawn. I cannot sleep. I cannot do ANYTHING! I would always just have these… (thoughts?)... It could be negative, it could be positive…. But it makes me take long periods to make a decision. And I end up not making the right decision. So what's your take on that? In the past, I may have focused the majority of our conversation on tips, tools and techniques on how to make quick decisions that will get you further, faster.  However, as a coach, I like to get to the root of the issue when

In this episode, I share an amazing story that I discovered within a book titled "PSYCH-K… The Missing Piece/Peace In Your Life" by author Robert Williams. This was originally shared in The Cliff Ravenscraft Show which is my main podcast. It occurred to me that this would be an incredible insight into what it is that we do, as coaches, for our clients. I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions about The Prosperous Coach Method for Creating Clients, please reach out to me.    

In this episode I answer a series of questions from Candace who asked... What do I do if I am "At Capacity" for the number of clients that I want to work with?   Do I continue to do the Prosperous Coach Method? Do I tell them up front that I'm at capacity and that I have a waiting list?  What about the issue of them losing fervor for wanting to work with me before I have an open spot for them?" In my response to these questions I covered the topics The "Half-Life of Enthusiasm"  The danger of coaching "At Capacity" The fact that you are "At Capacity" is a symptom of an issue. That issue being that your potential clients see far more value in what you have to offer them than you do. (aka... You're Not Charging Enough!) I briefly mentioned The Art of The Proposal video by Rich Litvin The DOUBLE YOUR RATES article by Peter Shallard If you are enjoying this podcast, make sure that you check out my main podcast The Cliff Ravenscraft Show in your favorite podcast directory.

I recently had a conversation with someone who has been "struggling" to create paid coaching business for the past four years. She has created multiple websites, social media profiles, a podcast and has a long list of other things that she feels that she needs to do before she can begin creating paid products and services as a coach. Imagine... Struggling for four years to get a coaching business started and still having no clarity about what paid products or services you are going to offer. This is far more common than you might imagine! Want help taking your coaching business to the next level? Check out my Work With Me Page at https://www.cliffravenscraft.com/work-with-me

In this episode, I share a coaching conversation that I had via Clubhouse with Chika Bullock. Chika has an inspirational story of how she moved from Japan to New York City 15 years ago and she shared with me her additional inspirational story of her recent journey towards becoming a certified life coach over the past two years. She came to me requesting help to overcome her fear, frustration and overwhelm about all the things that stand between her and the completion of her coaching certification course at the end of this year. While there are a number of valuable lessons that can be pulled out of this conversation, the main point that I would suggest that you pay attention to is the concept of understanding as much as is possible about what someone wants, what seems to be standing in the way of them getting what they want and then simply present that information back to them by “defining their problem in solvable terms.” In less than forty minutes, I was able to recognize what Chika desired, what resources s
