Why is there such shame in having FREE Clients (as a new coach)?

I was recently talking to a new coach and she was sharing how she loves coaching.
She is training and has left her job to do this full time.
I was in awe of your drive and ambition.
But I noticed the dropin her energy when I asked about clients.
She said "I have clients but their free"
and I remembered that exact feeling myself when I was a new coach.
That immediate drop in energy when you are talking to someone else about where you are.
The judgement you bully yourself with because you feel you should have a paid client already.
The constant pressure you feel under to prove you can actually make this work.
Whether your still in training or just decided you are ready to get out there.
I want you to hear this:
Having FREE clients is a necessary step to take to build your confidence as a coach.
and I want you to OWN it.
You're currently strengthening your coaching skills and trying to prove to yourself that you can do this.
When I first started coaching, I coached 10 people for 6 weeks FOR FREE. and I also had the same belief problem BUT I also LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!
- I loved meeting new people.
- Helping them with their challenge.
- Offering something with no expectations.
- Overdelivering on value
- Getting better and better with every call.
And you know what, my very first PAID clients came from those FREE clients.
So please, pleeeease- don't discredit yourself just because you have only free clients right now.
You are sharping your skill of being an AMAZING coach and those clients you have right now- are collecting all of those gems you are dropping to help them change their lives!
Let me celebrate with you, drop an emoji below if you have free clients right now and your loving every minute of it!
P.s if you are ready to level up from free- paid coaching clients in 90days. Take this as your personal invitation to scheduled your FREE connection call with me. This call we change the entire thoughts around free coaching and wonder why you have been doubting it's power for so long.
