YOU can become a COACH…

You can become anything you want to become especially if you put together a PLAN to help you get it done. So today let’s talk about the PLAN I put together on how to become a coach…

There are as many ways to become a Coach as there are people who become Coaches. Here is the way I became one…

In November 2014, I purchased my first internet marketing (IM) course, went through the program, or what I thought was going to be the program. Little did I know then that that first course was just the beginning. Read this to see what happened to in the following year.

Of course when I first started, I had no idea what an online business even was. Boy was I in for an unexpected adventure.

But over time I learned. I learned the IM language. I learned about marketing, traffic, how to do solo ads, Facebook (FB)advertising and I  also created a FB fan page,  a website/blog. Soon after, I also became an affiliate marketer.  Click here to see what I accomplished in my first year.

Started Helping Others

As I made my way in this Journey, I started helping other people with their questions and I quickly realized that  I was able to answer many of them. Soon I found that as part my relationship building activities, I began helping people more and more people with things they needed help with, things like creating their own blogs, how to become more successful with MINDSET SHIFTS  I provided for them to consider and hopefully adopt in order to become more successful. A I started becoming more familiar with products, there were those that I wanted to promote, so I  become an affiliate marketer. I purchased solo ads and Facebook advertising.  I created a FB Fan Page also called LivetheGoodLifewithSara and a private FB Group called Internet MArketing with Sara.  to mention a few things. As a result, all the things that I had learned and trained on and implemented, I began to teach others.

I realized how important the “right” coaching was and how much it was needed. So that was the setting.

This is how it happened.  This is How I became a Coach and How You can become a Coach if that is what you want.

On 12/1/15,  I put together an ACTION PLAN to get me to my Goal. Coincidentally, the first step in the Action Plan was to state my Goal. Hey if Benjamin Franklin created a Plan for his life, who was I to think I could succeed without one?  Personal accountability was one of Benjamin Franklin’s key concepts to succeeding and consequently, his Plan was definitely a part of it.

My Action Plan

Well on to the Plan I created.  My ACTION PLAN to becoming a Coach consisted of the following activities. (Note: each activity included a target date of completion and the actual competed date).
