Why Finding a Niche and Becoming Specialized is the Key to Success!

To become a successful Coach, you may want to discover your perfect niche as a way to gain an advantage over other coaches in your field. It is very hard to get noticed if your coaching business is too broad, vague or doesn’t appeal to a specific type of person with a specific problem. Many coaches try to be everything to everybody and end up not serving anyone because they are not appealing to their ideal client and their work doesn’t speak specifically to that person in a unique way that they identify with.

So, what is a niche?

A niche is a specialized field of interest where you narrow down your ideal client and what type of coaching you will offer based on your passions, skills, life experience, and the problem you want to solve.

The three top niches in the industry right now have one of these 3 specializations:

Health & Fitness

Relationships & Dating

Business & Career

One of the quickest ways to create your own niche is to add Relationship Coaching to your specialized skills. After all, no matter what type of Life Coach you are, you are always going to be working in some capacity with other people and their relationships.

Here are more reasons why becoming a Certified Relationship Coach is one of the most lucrative opportunities in the coaching industry right now.

At least 20% of the adult population in the US experience sexual or romantic relationship issues and could use Relationship Coaching, which is over 40 Million people and represents a $4.2 Billion annual revenue. That means lots of clients and abundance to go around.
People are becoming more aware that they can achieve sexual well-being and fulfilling romantic relationship, but there is a shortage of mainstream solutions that can assist them. People know they could do better but don’t know who to reach or where to go to discuss their issues. That’s where Relationship Coaching comes in.
Relationship therapy is part of the regular therapy practice; however, the word “therapy” feels overwhelming and expensive for most people who would want to address their romantic relationship well-being. Relationship Coaches are more approachable and affordable.
Relationship issues or concerns most of time do not equate to emotional “crisis” but simply ongoing frustrations. However, these issues still greatly impact people’s happiness in every part of their lives, so it is important to overcome these obstacles.
Relationship Coaching is so lucrative that even Tony Robbins is getting into it. With a net worth of $480 million, Robbins now offers Relationship Coaching programs for his clients along with his life coaching and motivational seminars. ^[xii] Find out more about his programs here.
Loveology University (LoveUniv.com) offers three training packages including the bestselling Certified Relationship Coach Program, where you can graduate in 1 month or less for 1000s of dollars less than most alternative programs.
