Career Coach Christie Mims – How I Got My First Paying Client

 


Welcome to the first episode of Coach Pony Podcast, where our
goal is to help you learn the critical business skills you need
to succeed as a coach.


 


And it all starts with learning how to get paying clients.


 


In this first season of the podcast, we are interviewing
experienced 6 and 7-figure coaches from different niches, delving
into how they got that very first client and what they’d do
differently today.


 


In today’s episode, we are going to peer into the world of career
coaching with me! Christie Mims.


 


Before Coach Pony, I founded, and still own and operate, a career
coaching business called The Revolutionary Club. Named a Forbes
Top 100 for Careers, and featured on sites ranging from Business
Insider to the Fast Company, I can honestly say I’ve learned a
few things.


 


My work both at the Revolutionary Club and Coach Pony has reached
millions of people, and I’ve served literally thousands of paying
clients.


 


But, my journey to my first client was a rocky one.


 


When I first started out, I can remember thinking to myself that
I would do almost anything to get someone to tell me how they got
their first clients. I wanted to know two things: 1) how they did
it so I could do it and 2) that there was hope for me to succeed
at this coaching thing!


 


So if this is you, allow me to share how I got my very first
paying client in the hopes that it helps you land your first
client—or your next client.


 


Listen to the full episode to hear:


What an encounter in an elevator was proof that I should
think big

How a systematic plan of attack helped me land my first
paying client

What I learned during this journey and what should have done
differently

And what you can do to never feel alone in your career
journey
