Over the years I’ve had a lot of coaches whine to me about “competition” in the coaching space:
“But Marc, there are too many coaches out there!”
Actually, there’s very little competition.
At first glance it looks like there is. It seems like every Tom, Dick, or Harry is a coach. You can’t turn around anywhere online without bumping into one.
But how many of those coaches are serious about their businesses?
In my estimation, only about 20% of online entrepreneurs (including coaches) are serious ones – and that number could even be generous.
The rest are “wantrepreneurs”. They may have a website, a Facebook fan page, and play around a little bit online. However, they don’t treat their businesses like a real business.
Back in the “old days” (pre-Internet), it cost a lot of money to start a business. You had to lease office space, buy furniture for it, hire staff and pay for expensive advertising.
These expenses kept most people out of the game.
Nowadays, anyone with 15 bucks can grab a domain from GoDaddy, set up a workspace at the kitchen table and they’re off to the races.
Don’t get me wrong: I like that the barrier to entry for entrepreneurship has been lowered. I think that’s a good thing (overall), but it explains why it looks like there’s so much competition out there in 2018.
I’ve found that if you put your head down, work hard on your business every day and take it seriously you can leapfrog the “competition” and get into the 20% of serious coaches in a relatively short period of time.
If you’re looking for an advantage over the other coaches out there, I want to work directly with you for the next three months to help you jump over them.
I’m opening up my next 10 Clients In 90 Days group program in a few weeks, and there’s still room for you.
Stop worrying about “competition” and leave them in your dust here:
