COMMON MISTAKES

Making bold claims about results, lacking structure in sessions, or neglecting to set coaching boundaries and disclaimers.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

For coaching businesses, forming an LLC can shield you from client claims about results or advice. It’s particularly important if you're dealing with mindset or business coaching. Coaches often sign agreements with clients — an LLC limits liability and separates your personal assets from your business. Coaching others? Be sure to protect yourself. Set up an LLC now and coach with confidence.
