While he initially struggled as well, Tim eventually managed to build up a successful practice as a life coach and started noticing other life coaches reaching out to him for help. Today, Tim imparts his years of experiences to help other life coaches succeed in a hyper saturated market. As Tim shares, there seems to be more life coaches than people who need life coaches these days. As a testament to his dedication, Tim’s has authored 9 books and has written over 1,500 self-development articles with his work seen by over 3 million people to date.

Actionable Take-aways:
1. It is important to have a professional looking website because it is better to have no website than a website that is done badly. A bad website actually has a negative impact on your ability to convert clients. Consider using a freelancer from Fiverr or Upwork if you need help with your web design.
2. Quality content can generate leads for you for years. Blogging and guest blogging paired with search engine optimization can give you rewards for years to come.
3. While reviews and testimonials are great ways to build trust for your prospective clients, you can also offer to let them speak to your existing or past clients and this is a great way for them to be sure that your reviews and testimonials are real, but to have a direct understanding as to what it is like working with you.
