Nutrition & Food Coaching Career Ideas (Have You Thought of These)

by

Nutrition-and-Food-Coaching-Career-Ideas

You have many options about how you will offer your nutrition-related services.

Some experts offer in-person, one-on-one coaching for their clients.
Others offer the same service online. Still, others offer some type of hybrid program where the clients receive a portion of their coaching in-person and other aspects online via email, Skype, Zoom video, text and/or PDF documents.

Some nutrition and food experts are combining their efforts and offering personal fitness chef services or creating a meal prep business in addition to nutrition coaching. 

In most cases, people hire you for food or nutrition services for 2 reasons.  First, they know they need to improve their nutritional habits.  Second, they are short on time and want services that save them time.  They are willing to pay top dollar for anything that saves them time.  

Of course, many coaches work with entire families.  

Why is it a great idea to help an entire family?

1. You improve your efficiency by working with more clients at a single location.
2. They get better results due to a group effort.
3. You get more people to refer you new clients.
4. Your rate for a family of 4 is higher than a single person.
5. It makes a great case study (social media) story for your business.

You may be wondering how you would run a food/chef/meal prep business.

Your Personal Goals: Still on Track? Did You Change Your Mind?

by

Assess if your goal is still important. If it is, figure out ways to re-engage in the process of working towards completion of this goal. Re-inspire yourself.
Sometimes when you set a personal goal (Example, January 1 resolutions), you are fired up and really motivated…… only to fade over time.  

Although this is often normal, it is seldom optimal.

Just for a moment, think back to the personal goals you set for yourself and your career at the beginning of this year.

How are you doing?

Are the same personal goals still relevant right now?
Did you already accomplish them?

Finding Your Coaching Niche

by

One of the biggest hurdles most coaches cross on the way to filling their businesses with clients is finding their coaching niche.

These are the people you do your best work with, who you enjoy coaching, who succeed at their goals, and who send their friends to you.

Some coaches turn “finding my niche” into a massive problem that stops them from succeeding.

That’s the real problem. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Even if you have plenty of clients, identifying a niche can be useful, so here are some tips for finding yours.

The Mind-Body Connection Explained

by

What we do with our physical body (what we eat, how much we exercise, even our posture and breathing) can impact our mental state.

Hello,

It seems each coaching or training pro has a different opinion about the mind-body connection and how it affects health and performance.

Even though we are making some declarative statements here, we always welcome additional perspectives.

How is the mind-body connection explained?

It means that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can positively or negatively affect our biological functioning. In other words, our minds can affect how healthy our bodies are each day.

How to Speak to Your Prospective Client

You need to speak to your prospective clients in a certain way that makes them feel heard, understood and important.

It all starts with the word “you”.

Just ASK | What Coaches Need to Remember

by

Even when you feel you know what best for your client, your job is to keep asking questions until the solution reveals itself to your client.

As a coach, you need to remember one thing above all else.

ASK!

Don’t “tell” — just ask!

It can be challenging.  This is true especially when we come from a training background where were are taught – and programed – to tell clients how and why to do things.

Obviously, coaching is very different. We need to ASK.

Keeping Your Business & Career Fresh and Relevant

by

You’ve likely been to someone’s facility and everything just seemed old. Some things that are “old school” are cool and interesting. But, and old chair (not an antique) in an office that looks beaten up is not appealing.

The same is true for someone’s website that hasn’t been updated in 2006.

The same is true for the content of a training course.

The same is true for the person’s style or personal brand.

The same is true for print materials, business cards, logos and other identifiers of you or your company.

You always need to keep things fresh, current, relevant, exciting and interesting to people.

3 Ways to Get New Clients Now

by

3 Ways to Get New Clients Now
Although there are endless ways to get clients, there are 3 ways to get clients NOW.
The first does not require any special technical skills or training.  It just requires you to take action.
Here it is…  Ask everyone you know if they know of someone who will benefit from your services. Yep, that’s it.  And, don’t have a cookie cutter answer for each comment or question.
Think about how you can specifically help that person they want to refer.  Ask thought-provoking questions about what they have done prior, why things may or may not have worked, and what they are ready to do now to get the results or outcome they desire.
REMEMBER, the person you are asking to refer a friend may be the one who becomes a new client.
