Serving an Unserved Need We Once Had

The Importance of Expressing Our Humanity as Health Coaches

The Niche is More for Our Clients Than for Us

 

Ren Jones Notable Quotes

“It’s important that you express your humanity as best you can as a coach because that’s why people are going to hire you…people hire us based on our humanity, and they justify with our credentials and our track record.”
– Ren Jones

“I think that great coaches are serving a need that they had at one point in their lives that went unserved.”
                                                – Ren Jones

 

Episode Summary

As health coaches, we want to get ourselves out there and help as many people as we possibly can. But the thing is, when we try to help everyone, we’ll just end up helping no one. This is where niching down comes into the scene. While many of us health coaches are hesitant about niching down, but in reality, it actually helps our ideal clients to find us more easily.

In this episode of Health Coach Academy, we’re talking to one of the pioneers of online health coaching Ren Jones of Fitness Jones Training to shed some light on why we should seriously consider niching down and what niching down does for both us and our clients.
