Being a business owner and taking the leap to become a part-time or full-time Health Coach may seem scary and intimidating. That’s why we created the Advanced Business Course – a four-month program that provides ample mentorship and support so you never have to feel alone on your path to greater success.

In this course, we’ll empower you as a wellness entrepreneur because often your own thoughts can leave you feeling stuck or like you don’t have what it takes to make six figures. You’ll learn how to dig deep and understand the true value you bring to this profession – and why you and your practice will truly make a difference in other people’s lives - and the healthcare system as a whole.

You’ll learn how to create a bio-individual business model – from defining your target market and setting up your website to writing newsletters and posting on social media. You’ll be able to network like a pro and grow your business in a way that feels authentic to who you are. Along the way, we’ll also provide professional feedback on your marketing tools and designs so that you truly understand how to make the biggest impact.

What You’ll Learn

Determine What Success Looks Like for You

Success looks different for everyone. Some set specific client goals while others prioritize finances. However, to achieve true success, you first need to define what it means to you. What inspired you to start health coaching? What is motivating you to start your own business? Despite having some fear and hesitation around getting started, you need to develop the mind-set of a passionate and successful Health Coach to guide you and your clients to true transformation.

Bio-Individuality in Business

In this course, you’ll be encouraged to gain self-awareness around your habits, strengths, and weaknesses, so you can leverage key factors that will make you stand out as a Health Coach. You’ll overcome any limiting beliefs or self-doubt that have been holding you back and be able to see how your unique personality, services, and business model will increase your impact. You'll learn how to stay focused and on track as you target a specific market based on all that you have to offer.

Take Action to Get the Results You’re Looking For

There are so many ways to put yourself out there as a Health Coach, but we often get stuck when we have never done something before or aren’t sure if we’ll be good at it. We’ll inspire you to take action and feel more comfortable speaking about the work you do so you can confidently close the deal! From networking and public speaking to workshops and group coaching, you’ll expand your reach and increase your sales.

Leverage Online Marketing to Gain New Clients

Since health coaching can be conducted entirely online, we provide you with an overview of how to use a variety of marketing channels to grow your business. You’ll understand how to generate more leads and use an opt-in offer to build your email list. You’ll also learn to navigate the world of SEO, social media, and blogging to effectively and efficiently connect with potential clients.

Laying the Foundation for Long-term Success

There are several factors that go into maintaining a thriving practice, including word-of-mouth and referral marketing, connecting with companies in your community, and integrating your practice with other services that align well with your business model. We’ll help you establish a marketing and sales plan that best suits your current and future needs and encourages you to continue tackling any goals you set at the beginning of this yearlong course.
