Becoming a business coach was one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. It wasn’t a straightforward path, but every twist and turn brought valuable lessons. If you’re considering this career, let me take you through my personal journey and share some insights that might help you along the way.
I’ve always been passionate about helping others grow. My initial career in marketing and advertising gave me a front-row seat to the challenges businesses face. Over time, I found myself gravitating towards mentoring colleagues and offering strategic advice. It was during one of these informal coaching sessions that it hit me: I could turn this passion into a profession.
Realizing I needed a solid foundation, I began by educating myself. I took online courses, attended workshops, and read extensively about business coaching methodologies. This formal education helped me understand the theory behind effective coaching.
Armed with knowledge, I needed practical experience. I started offering free coaching sessions to small businesses and startups. This not only helped me hone my skills but also built my confidence. Each success story fueled my passion even further. And now, I am earning between $500-$1,500 an hour!
In addition to my own small business owner clients, I am helping coaches improve their ability to create positive change; where being a “business coach” carries real meaning and is more than a mere title. It means you are qualified and able to help business owners implement strategies that provide them with the time and financial freedom they dreamt of when they first started their businesses. It’s a testament to your commitment to excellence and your ability to help generate quantifiable results.
As someone who has navigated the challenging path of business coaching for over 15 years, the most rewarding part of this journey has been witnessing the impact of my coaching. Seeing businesses thrive and knowing I played a part in their success is incredibly fulfilling. It reaffirms why I chose this path.
Becoming a business coach is not just a career choice; it’s a commitment to helping others succeed. It requires passion, dedication, and continuous growth. My journey has been filled with learning, challenges, and immense satisfaction. If you’re considering this path, embrace the journey with an open mind and a willingness to grow. The impact you can make is profound and life-changing.
Remember, every coach has a unique journey. If you are at all frustrated with your progress in obtaining high-paying clients and getting those clients to stick for years, not mere months, then contact me. With my guidance and support, you will be able to successfully implement our virtual business advisor program and have the financial and time freedom you’ve always dreamed of.
Scott Lippitt has over 25 years of experience in marketing and advertising for some of the biggest brands in the US, such as Progressive Insurance, Black & Decker, Hallmark, Hershey’s, Arby’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, and Old Spice.
Fifteen years ago, he and his wife Pam got tired of turning millionaires into billionaires (or at the bare minimum, multi-millionaires)… ‘they weren’t that grateful nor were they that generous!” So, they turned their attention from helping Wall Street to helping Main Street.
Now, Scott Lippitt works with small business owners to help them double and even triple their profit while spending little to no additional monies on marketing to do so. He also offers a program that provides advisors, consultants, and coaches with the tools, training, and support to generate a consistent flow of qualified leads and predictably convert those leads into high-paying clients ($440-$1,180 per hour!)
