Hi, I'm Jamie Smart. Welcome to the podcast. And every day for 10 days I'm reading you a chapter from my book for coaches, therapists and consultants. It's called The Thriving Coaches Scorecard, the 10 multipliers that are either growing or slowing your professional practice.

And this series is sponsored by the Thriving Coaches Business Masterclass, a series of free live training sessions we're launching on July 30th.

The focus of this masterclass series is on getting clients, growing your practice and having an impact in your clients' lives, and we're going to be covering the stuff that's most crucial for coaches to learn (especially in these times of uncertainty and volatility) including...

Demystifying the whole domain of 'niching'
Setting your price
Engagement and growing your audience
The whole 'visibility' thing
Getting clients and making a difference to them
The question of 'coaching packages' vs 'hourly' vs 'retainer'
The best so-called 'business model' for coaches
How to talk about what you do

and lots more.

So to register for this free masterclass series, go to www.JamieSmart.com/biz.
