Show Notes

Today's episode was inspired by one of the members of the From Therapy to Coaching Facebook Group who had a question a lot of coaches do: “Do I really need a niche?”

The short answer is, although you don't absolutely need a niche, you probably want one.

There are some very successful coaches out there who say that they serve anyone and everyone, however, I strongly believe that having a niche ultimately will support you and support your business.

I want to first help you to understand what we mean when we're talking about focusing on a niche and share the things you should consider when selecting your niche and my recommendations on the next steps for solidifying your niche. As always, I'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts about creating and refining your niche?
