11. What level of on-going training do I get ... ?
Unlike a lot of other coach training programs, your initial coaching and training program is only the beginning of your journey. You see, you'll be stepping onto a continual learning curve, with reading, online seminars, workshops, conferences and internet-based chat groups and forums all part of the process. It's stimulating, and it works.
12. What level of support do I get ... ?
eLifePlans has a fantastic support system which provides eLife Plan Coaches.

13. So, how do I make money as an eLifePlans Coach... ?
Your main income stream will be through coaching clients in individual or group coaching programs, each of which will provide you with monthly revenue.
Live and/or web based seminars are just one of the lead generators you'll use to source clients. You’ll also earn income from the subscriptions you sell to eLifePlans.com online life planning and goal setting system and when they renew their subscription you'll find your earning potential will only be limited by your enthusiasm. One thing's for sure; you'll be pleasantly surprised at the end of each month.
But keep in mind you'll be running your business from a home office. This means your overheads will be far less than that of many other consulting businesses.
14. Do I need a Consulting or Coaching Background ... ?
No. However, a strong business background is a must. If you have owned or managed a business before, or if you have a background in sales, then this is probably the business for you. More than anything you’ll need an entrepreneurial spirit, the right attitude, and a healthy dose of motivation to succeed as an eLife Plan Coach. Be prepared to show us how much passion you have for helping others, and show us too, the amount of drive you have to succeed in this business.
15. Who will be my target clients ... ?
It's hard to think of someone that would not benefit in some way from eLife Plan Coaching and our products and services.
Most will be executives, managers, sales professionals, business owners and other successful individuals who are looking for more focus, balance and direction and/or to produce better productivity from their team members.
16. How will I get leads and sales?
As you'd imagine, being an eLifePlans Coach you'd have all the latest lead generation and sales techniques available to you. You'll be using the full suite of the most powerful, tried-and-tested marketing tools available to develop your business. You'll also have access to the very latest strategies and this will keep you ahead of your competitors.
17. Why will individuals have me as a Coach and is there any real competition ...?
Everyone knows, and accepts, that sport stars need coaches. Without them they simply wouldn't succeed.
Well, times are changing. More and more individuals realize that in today's fast-paced environment, there's no way they can succeed at their highest levels on their own. The case for a Coach has become unassailable. Well, to those serious about success, it has.
Furthermore, successful individuals find it all but impossible to receive objective answers from themselves. A Coach can see the forest for the trees. The Coach will make them focus harder on the job at hand, and will make them run more laps than they otherwise would. A Coach will, in effect, be the client's sounding board to help them regain the focus and energy to tackle their largest life dreams and goals.
So who then is our competition? There are plenty of life coaches out there but very few have a system as dynamic and proven to generate long term results than us.
18. Can I really get results with all types of clients ... ?
Absolutely! You see, the key to change in any client’s life is up to them... not you. Add to this the fact that within the global eLifePlans team at least one of your fellow Coaches will have either worked with a client that's the same or very similar to that of your client, so when you’re up against an issue you have the support to resolve it..
19. What are the keys to my success as a Coach?
A successful eLifePlans Coach is results driven, motivated and willing to follow the system. Coaches who lead the field around the world not only run a highly profitable business and have exceptional client relationships; they also contribute to the growth and development of the system worldwide. Surveys show businesses succeed because of their team members’ ability to continue to learn and they show a healthy culture of a desire to help others. Successful coaches also show a willingness to work long hours to get the momentum going and have great relationship building skills, sales ability or a willingness to learn.
Due to the nature of our business model being a home based business, you will need solid self-discipline and family support to stay focused on the required commitments and be willing to ask for help, be well organized and be a good planner.
Common reasons for failure include not following the system, not working hard enough or not doing enough marketing, going ahead despite family opposition, spending money on the good things in life before they had earned it, not enjoying the sales process, not having the self-discipline to cope with the responsibility of owning a small business, and being under-funded.
20. Will this business work in my area?
The funny thing about business is that it doesn't matter whether you sell paperclips or airplanes, one thing you can almost count on is that pretty much everyone wants the same 4 things…a better future, the ability to earn more money, great relationships with others and the ability to live a long healthy life. Your ability to show them how they can have all these things with your help will determine your ultimate success as a coach. Yes, this system will work in your area, simply because most of the challenges your prospective clients face are universal.
21. How many hours will I work ... and should I employ anyone ... ?
Like all new entrepreneurial ventures, the first 12 months will be the hardest, not because of the amount of work you'll do, but because the work will be different. The learning curve that our coaches go through is steep - we can guarantee that you will learn more as an eLifePlans Coach in the first 12-18 months than you will learn anywhere else. As a Trainee, you'll become a sponge soaking up information from every source - be it other Coaches, books, seminars or from personal experiences ... you'll want to know more about everything - which means you will be VERY busy.
Being new at the Coaching game, you'll be trying out all our different sales and marketing strategies, trying to find the strategies that will work for you in your business.
So even though, initially you will be spending at least 25 hours per week marketing, selling and gaining knowledge, you will find that as the business grows, you can divide your time more evenly between Marketing and Delivery. This should see you working between 40 to 60 hours a week in the first year of your apprenticeship.
We do recommend however, that when you have between 8 and 12 clients, you hire a Personal Assistant or recruit an Associate Coach so you can leverage your time more effectively. At this point you will start to choose the hours of work that suit you, your clients and your prospects.
As you settle into your new business, you should be working around 2 hours per week per client with one hour spent coaching and the other doing behind the scenes preparation work.
22. Can I work at home ... ?
When you start up we recommend working from home with a separate space designated for your business. You need to be able to lock yourself away, and then lock up and switch off at night. When your business has grown, you may wish to take advantage of serviced offices or your own office suite.
A unique aspect of the eLifePlans Coach model is that most of your client consultations are done over the phone from home. Therefore, you don't waste much of your valuable coaching time traveling to and from your clients' place of business. This leaves you more time to work with your clients and to earn more income without eating into your family or leisure time.
23. So, How Do I Express Interest?
We are just as diligent as you are in wanting to make sure the eLifePlans Coach opportunity is the right fit for you. Showing your interest by learning more about us is the first step. The next is completing an eLifePlans Coach Application and then conducting a one-on-one interview with our Head Coach and Trainer.
Congratulations, you have taken the first step... Now on to the second ...Apply now!
