The Practice Development "Bible" for Coaches and Consultants by Sandy Schussel


People pay Steve Chandler and Rich Litvin tens of thousands of dollars to be taught and coached on the concepts in this book.It blasts away the idea that coaches need to be out "selling" their services through mass marketing and sales calls, and shows them how to boldly enroll all the clients they want at fees they deserve, by showing up as the professionals they are and offering to serve people.Don't try to sell the 'concept' of coaching... Don't cold call... Fill your week with conversations that lead to coaching clients... Let them experience what you can do for them...As a client and student of both authors, I was blown away at how much they give away in this book. It's EVERYTHING they've taught me--and then some. They don't hold back. And what I've learned from them has resulted in my being able to relax and make a great living as a coach. One more thing--many of my clients are advisors, attorneys and consultants, and the ideas in this book have helped them grow their practices, too. Buy this book, do what they say, and you'll have the kind of coaching or consulting practice you thought was just a dream.

About the Author

Steve Chandler has written dozens of books on subjects that swing dizzyingly from Jane Austen to baseball to business coaching to travel to obituaries to Moby Dick. He is the author of the bestsellers Crazy Good and Time Warrior. Steve is the creator of the world-acclaimed Coaching Prosperity School and its Advanced Client Systems programs, now available as an online masterclass at www.coachingprosperityschool.info; find more information at www.stevechandler.com.

My name is Rich Litvin. I've been bullied. I've been fired. I've struggled financially. I've felt lonely. I've lost loved ones. I've also coached clients who've lost children, had life threatening illnesses, had miscarriages, been abused, been assaulted and been through bankruptcy. But I have also been a leader, a coach and an advisor to high level leaders for almost 30 years. I've faced many challenges (in life and business) and I've coached many people through life-changing experiences. And I've been privy to the secret challenges of elite clients, from Navy Seals to multi-millionaires. (Hint: they have the same challenges as the rest of us!) Oh, and I'm an introvert at heart who is secretly relieved when plans for a night out are cancelled! Learn more about me here: www.richlitvin.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Take the edge off of your thoughts on starting or continuing your Coaching Practice.
Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2023

The target audience for this book is every coach, from aspiring to experts, regardless of where they are in their journey. This book covers some common concerns of coaches and their practice, such as client relationship building, impacts on clients and coaching practice, practice profitability, coach professional development, and mindset shifts.

This book aims to encourage coaches struggling to get clients, create an impact, or generate income in their practice. This book had many gems, from Creating clients to Value-driven coaching to creating a practice that can thrive without the Internet.

Chandler and Litvin continuously recounted their experiences to support the advice or wisdom conveyed. Sometimes, the suggestion was more philosophical due to the narrow view of coaching niches that could apply the advice. For example, I needed help understanding how corporate coaches could apply most of the advice given. The environments between personal (Life coaching) and organizational coaching are vastly different, especially in their approach. However, all the advice was clearly made, no matter how subjective the reader may be.

I would recommend "The Prosperous Coach: Increase Income and Impact for Your Clients" and have done so several times since to coaches looking to elevate their coaching practice financially and make a meaningful impact on their clients. The book provides a unique perspective beyond traditional coaching techniques, focusing on the mindset, strategies, and principles that can lead you to success in the coaching profession. With a combination of philosophical insights and practical advice, there's valuable guidance for coaches who want to create a practice that is financially prosperous, deeply fulfilling, and impactful.

I loved this book and the perspective provided on creating clients. So many coaches go about structuring their practices in a more “traditional” sense but this approach allows space to build relationships from first contact. There are so many things in this book that are helpful if you’re willing to implement them.

I must say I wasn't quite sure what to expect when this book was referred to me by my son and coach Jeff Osborne! I had heard of Steve Chandler and Rich Litvin but I had not read their material or any of their books for that matter. What this book did for me was bring a great degree of clarity and anticipation that I could be beyond successful especially when they said the things that I want in my life are closer to me than I think which was definitely needed in the period of life that I'm now in. Now I see beyond the shadow of a doubt that not only am I a prolific coach but their skill sets have been added to mine and now I have the utmost confidence that I can have high paying clients that are passionate about the achievement of their goals and dreams and want someone like me to help them I am grateful for their body of work and will continue to read the rest of their publishing! Thank you so much for making the time to help coaches like myself out of their doubtings and into their greatness!

The media could not be loaded.
 I'm a coach. I'm skeptical of coaching books because many are EXACTLY THE SAME. HOWEVER, this one is simple to digest, isn't gimmicky, and allows you space to implement. I say that because I don't have to 'study' this book in a way I did others to implement the strategies. For example, there is a section all about being present for your clients and focusing on conversations. Well, of course, but the way they present it game me a new perspective on how to coach and be with my clients. I'm re-reading my highlighted parts, esp on days I'm struggling myself. I think everyone who is and wants to be a coach, should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A LIFE CHANGING BOOK
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2013
Verified Purchase
I GAVE A 5 STAR RATE BECAUSE IT delivers what the title clearly states: A coach that can transform himself into a prosperous one.
It tells you in a very casual way, as if you were chatting with the authors and at the same time there are some parts of the book that literally made me take a leap of faith a sensation that I was in a profound, transforming and meaningful conversation with them.

By reading the title it seems that is written to coaches, nonetheless, anybody with a medium knowledge of what is a life coach will benefit from it. One of the reason I found this book fascinating is that when I was at Michael Neill Supercoach Academy last year, and been a Neurologist I was lost the first 2 months because I was told that Transformative Coaching did not have a specific method, no specific way to do it, and I was in real shock. In Neurology if you do not have a routine or method, you are going to kill or badly harm a patient.

Ah... But here I found a method what to do to become a total failure and also what to withhold and how to say the right thing at the right moment and at the right time. I love both authors being honest about making mistakes, not only at the beginning of their careers but also currently!!!!!!. (Sorry rich I have to put this in capital letters) THEIR HONESTY, THEIR WISDOM AND LACK OF COCKINESS, STRUCK ME. ON THE OTHER HAND THE FACT OF BEING ACCOUNTABLE:IN OTHER WORDS: HAVING A COACH IS INDISPENSABLE TO SOAR, GLIDE, SHIFT AND FLY AS I WHISH. IN ORDER TO BE A GREAT COACH YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR CLIENT AS DEEP AS YOU CAN BUT FIRST YOU HAVE TO BE AND BREATH VERY DEEP, FEELING COMFORTABLE BY FEELING UNCONFORTABLE (THEIR WORDS NOT MINE) YOU CAN NOT GO VERY DEEP ALONE...THAT IS COCKINESS...AT LEAST I NEED GUIDANCE AND BE ACCOUNTABLE...NOW I FEEL DEEP INSIDE MY CHEST WHAT A REAL COACH IS.
I emphasize on the capital letters because that was the first thing that Rich asked me not to do and secondly, I never thought of having a coach. Now I realize that not having one is the easiest way to lie to myself and what is worse....believe the lie. I am coaching, coaching and having many NO but I always take that NO as a piece of information not rejection, I ask, "Would you mind what part of what I said or did not say made you to decide NO? and is there a way we can arrange this...Many times I get a second NO...Better this client does not want to become a better person or wealthy etc..

This book has changed my life, 180 degrees, it has being an eye and mind opener.

I have in my room and on my office several printed quotes from the book but the one that is in triplicate is "YOUR CLIENTS ARE PAYING FOR THEY DREAMS. AND THEIR DREAMS ARE PRICELESS," My mission and I now know why its fun to be told NO is to dive deep enough that I can create a space where my client will make his/her dreams possible, NOW I AM A REAL COACH, STARTING BUT I FEEL THAT I KNOW IN MY HEART WHAT TO SAY, VERY LITTLE, BECASUSE LISTENING IS THE KEY

I recommend this book without hesitation to any coach who wants to earn money and serve and move out of the way and let the real you take over your life

A titan of coaching explains how to propose this magnificent profession for what it is: that is, capable of changing people's lives. The style is that of the champion who doesn't care too much about style, but about true substance.
We may not like what he explains, but deep down in our hearts as coaches, we know he is saying true things.
He says, "The key to failure is taking yourself seriously.
The key to success is taking your job seriously."
Can you disagree?
Great book, as the other reviews testify.
