What's Wrong With the Online Coaching Model?

By Bruce Hoag

If you have had online coaching for any length of time, then you're probably among those for whom it hasn't worked.

You've probably spent thousands of dollars, pounds, or euros, and despite your best efforts, you still haven't been able to get the results that you thought you would.

In this article, I want to explain one reason why that's the case.

The first thing I need to tell you is that you are not alone.

The vast majority of people who aspire to create an online business find that for one reason or another that can't do it.

They've bought product after product, they've read eBooks, they've listened to audios and watched videos, and none of it has produced the results that they had envisioned at the beginning.

Many of them wished that they would have never started in the first place.

If that describes you, then I hope that I can start to unpack the reasons why this has been a problem for you.

The second thing is that there is a solution, but it's not one that you're going to be able to implement all at once.

Part of the reason for that is your own limitations; but part of it, too, is that a complete solution hasn't been found... yet.

It's something that I'm working on, and we're close to figuring it out.

So let me take you through something that I think causes problems from the very beginning and then follows you all the way through the program; all the way to where you are today.

It's visualization.

You just can't see where you're going.

Your coach tells you to just take the next step; but you don't know what that step looks like for you.

Your coach describes to you what it looked like for him or her, but that doesn't tell you what it will look like for you.

This is a key piece.

Athletes will visualize a race before the run it, and they'll see themselves running through the tape ahead of everyone else.

They'll see their legs and arms pumping. They'll feel their legs go over the hurdles.

They'll fee the aerobic power as they accelerate down the traffic.

That's visualization.

Seeing yourself do the very thing that you have set out to do.

And athletes also see the success.

But when you're a beginning Internet marketer, you can't see the steps that will take you from where you are to where you want to go.

You can't translate what your coach is telling you into tangible activities that you feel you can do.

You can't understand, for example, how to use your blog to drive traffic or to help you build your list.

You can't do it because you don't know what it looks like.

The next time you speak to your coach, if you have one, be sure to ask him or her what the next step might look like for you.
