Derek Sisterhen joins me on the First Wednesday of every month to talk more about the specifics of our business and coaching in general. I’m actually broadcasting from my bedroom, with a case of the…well, you can just listen if you want the details.
We had a great discussion about what your clothing means to your prospects. We discussed whether we may be losing clients because of the way we dress, and if that’s really a bad thing.
Justin Hughes asks, “do you come across clients that you really want to work with that turn you down?”
Over the past two weeks we brought on Jaime Thompson as a Financial Coach and Jory Butler as a Career Coach. We’ll be introducing them to you over the next few months. It’s interesting to work with other people, especially if they’re out of state, so we talked through the challenges and triumphs.
Gmail has become my friend lately and I’ll be releasing a tutorial showing you how I’m using is as my universal inbox. I’ve been loving it.
CoachU is now live! You can’t register for a few more weeks, but the details are all posted now at coachradio.tv/coachu.

Derek Sisterhen, host of Past Due Radio, joins me on the show today. He’s also the Lead Financial Coach at Lukas Coaching.
Avoid working with the wrong clients.
Derek shared a story about a client who paid and then could not be reached. It was an interesting situation that Derek had to tiptoe through.
I referenced Derek’s Dark Side of Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps video.
Tip: print on both sides of your business card.
Working on your business tip: You can’t bill for 40 hours per week.
Derek talks about his group coaching; how he sets it up, markets it, fills it, charges for it, etc.
Top Three Reasons to Love Group Coaching
- Accountability, encouragement, and ideas from group members
- Saves the group leader time by working with more than one person at a time
- It’s less of an investment for clients

I just arrived back from a Free Agent Academy event where about 30 entrepreneurs from around the country convened with us in Colorado to build their businesses.
How to Create Business

- Wash your car (or your neighbor’s car)
- Take a walk
- Exercise
- Talk to old clients
- Networking – old fashioned
- Take someone to lunch
- Meetup
- Start a new hobby – get out of your comfort zone
I mentioned when I interviewed David Garland.
John G. Miller interviewed Derek and I and it’s worth a listen.

Questions answered during today’s show:
John Snook asks about group coaching and holding a class. He referenced the show I did with Derek Sisterhen on how to find clients. John references the Boot Camp Leader’s guide for Financial Coaches.
I also mention these two books that are both due out in a few months:
The Referral Engine
Delivering Happiness
I’m promoting a class called Pretender to Presence at the end of the month and I’m sharing all kinds of ideas we’ve come up with to promote it. Actually, I only came up with a few. You guys came up with the rest. The best one goes through the class for free. Leave your idea in the comments at the bottom of coachradio.tv/biz.
