Are you a teacher, educator, author, or advocate? Are you tired of your work not feeding you financially? Are you nearing your breaking point, and weary of wondering if teaching is ever going to pan-out for you?

What if you could have the best of both worlds; continue sharing your gifts, skills and views with the world, AND make money at the same time? It's time to think about moving from "being an educator", to offering your teachable skills as a coach.

Some benefits of the coaching model:

* You get to work from, and in, your passion.

* You can build your business to fit your life.

* You can have clients all over the world, instead of just in your geographical locale.

* You get to live your life purpose -- as your work!

Who can be a coach?

You can! Anyone who has ever taught can be a coach. The better your existing platform as a teacher, the easier the transition will be.

A client recently came to LaSara with questions about career change. LaSara helped her client transition to coaching from more "traditional" models of teaching. Within two days the client had her sample sessions filled. In two weeks she had her coaching practice filled through the following three months. The client then listed an on-line class, and the class filled in a matter of days as well.

Not everyone will get the results that this client did, but until you explore the option of coaching, you won't know what might be possible for you and your practice.

Robert had a client who was a nutritionist and body-worker. She had hit her limit for hands-on sessions, and was feeling worn-out from the work. With Robert's help, she integrated coaching as an element in her healing practice. She ended up making more money with fewer clients, and being able to comfortably scale-back the number of hands-on sessions she was offering per week.

Is coaching the next career step for you? Think of your teaching or healing platform -- and whether it's ready to transition over to the coaching model. If you were to make the transition, what kind of coaching practice would you build?

The good news is that you can choose exactly the topic or area of interest that moves you into the most full alignment with your sense of purpose. What is the area that brings you the most joy?

How to start?

As a teacher, writer, advocate, or educator, you're ready to offer your services as a coach now. The only thing missing is the structure of the business itself, and the support that will make way for your success. Robert Allen and LaSara Firefox will walk you through the transition and transformation step-by-step, and help you to arrive at your desired outcome.

Are you a teacher, educator, author, or advocate?

Are you a teacher, educator, author, or advocate? Are you tired of your work not feeding you financially? Are you nearing your breaking point, and tired of wondering if teaching is ever going to pan-out for you?

What if you could have the best of both worlds; continue sharing your gifts, skills and views with the world, AND make money at the same time? It's time to think about moving from "being an educator", to offering your teachable skills as a coach.

Some benefits of the coaching model:
* You get to continue offering your expertise.
* You get to continue working from, and in, your passion.
* You can build your business to fit your life.
* You can have clients all over the world, instead of just in your geographical locale.
* You get to live your life purpose -- as your work!

I won't lie; building a coaching practice is not a quick fix, nor an easy solution. Building your practice, like building anything, takes time, energy, focus, and major amounts of commitment. It takes unbeatable conviction, and an entrepreneurial spirit.

I read recently about a seeker who wanted to experience samadhi. He went through the day trying to cultivate his desire to experience the nondual. Finally, as night fell, he experienced a sense of utter and total desolation - heartbreak. And still he desired.

In that moment of heartbreak, he found the deepest, truest desire, and attained the experience.

This is the sort of conviction that building a business out of your dreams will call for, from time to time. A successful practice must be built on the fundamental conviction that this is what you want to do with your life.

However, doing just this - building your dreams, your personal mission, your message, into the work you do in the world - is the way to continue offering your self, heart and soul, to the world. And, if your mission is what drives you, as it is for many of us teachers, you simply will not be satisfied with a life built on anything less.

Who can be a coach?

You can! Anyone who has ever taught can be a coach. The better your existing platform as a teacher, the easier the transition will be.

I have a client who recently came to me with questions about career change. I helped her transition to coaching from more "traditional" models of teaching. Within two days she had her sample sessions filled. Within two weeks she had her coaching practice filled through the next three months.

She then listed an on-line class, and the class filled in a matter of days as well.

Not everyone will get the results that she did, but right now, I'd like you to think of your teaching platform, and whether it's ready to transition over to the coaching model. If you were to make the transition, what kind of coaching practice would you build? What kind of coach would you be?

You can choose exactly the topic or area of interest that moves you into the most full alignment with your sense of purpose. What is the area that brings you the most joy?

I personally have a few areas of expertise, and sometimes it's hard to narrow it down, but it really brings me to a great sense of inner calm when I get to help others to bring their message to the fore.

Your topic might be love, relationships, and intimacy, or it might be spiritual purpose, or it might be adventure. Whatever it is, your commitment to bringing it to the world may be the key to your most ideal life.

How to start?

As a teacher, writer, advocate, or educator, you're ready to offer your services as a coach now. The only thing missing is the structure of the business itself, and the support that will make way for your success. I can walk you through the transition and transformation step-by-step, and help you to arrive at your desired outcome as easily as possible.

Call me now at 707-293-5153, or drop a note to info@lasarafirefox.com, to schedule a free, 30-minute, pre-commitment evaluation. Together, you and I will build a highly personalized strategy that will bring you to a whole new level of making your mission, your dream, work in the world; a plan that will increase your alignment with purpose, earning-potential, visibility, and professional achievement.

I am taking only three new clients at this time, so if you want to be one of them, get in touch now. 707-293-5153, or, info@lasarafirefox.com.

peace.
