Teresa here with my co-host, Erica Vinson. Today we’re kicking off a recurring “Lifelong Learner” series—quick, honest chats about resources shaping us as coaches. First up is a classic in the coaching world: The Prosperous Coach by Steve Chandler & Rich Litvin.\n\nA quick note: at the time of our recording, the book happened to be discounted online—prices change, so check current listings. More importantly, we don’t agree with everything in the book (no book is the Gospel 🙃), but there are some ideas worth wrestling with—especially for Christian coaches who want to serve deeply and also build a sustainable practice.\n\nHere are the 3 big takeaways we unpack together:\nClients are created, not attracted.\nYou don’t “get” or “attract” clients—you create clients in real conversations. We talk about replacing passive tactics with genuine connection, modeling good coaching presence in everyday life, and letting transformation—not transactions—lead.\nDon’t charge for what you do—charge for what’s possible.\nPricing isn’t about hours; it’s about the created future your coaching helps unlock (breakthroughs, clarity, and sustainable practices). We offer language shifts (from “cost” to “investment”) and talk candidly about money mindset as Christian coaches.\nWho are you being?\nYour presence speaks louder than your pitch. We share stories about congruency, integrity, and letting people experience the power of coaching before you “explain” coaching. In short: let your walk talk.\nIf you’re sensing it’s time to strengthen your being so your doing flows with clarity and peace, we’d love to journey with you.\nLearn about the REALIFE Process® Coach Certification and upcoming cohorts: therealifeprocess.com/get-certified\nJoin our free community and say hello: therealifeprocess.com\n\nQuestion for you: What’s one belief about finding clients or pricing your coaching that you want to revisit with God this week?\n\nScripture to sit with: “Let your light shine before others…”...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/OVBSsKfZpBrbPhPEq4ZcGRvv5b0hdwV76ndOwfbQqLk/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81MWUx/NGExOTVlZDY1Zjg5/NDRhMWExYmY2NmE4/NGFmMi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
