While taking stock is an awesome way to create powerful, new goals for your

of-the- year routine…
Look for emerging trends that are creating waves in the coaching industry. New

journal that is designed to improve your client’s coaching experience.
Do you ask your client to identify their top 3 intentions for the day?
Then make sure your daily journal or planner has a segment that includes this
action item: “List your 3 intentions for today”
An important point to keep in mind is that creating and selling physical products
will add a brand new segment to your coaching practice…
This means additional resources — such as time and money — are needed to
