Essentials Of Building A Practice
As A Spiritual Coach

There’s a massive amount of information out there about starting a coaching business and most of this is geared toward “traditional” niches such as business, health or regular life coaching.

While a lot of this advice is also relevant to building a spiritual life coaching practice, there are significant differences that need to be highlighted.

Key Difference #1 : Your Ideal Coaching Clients

There is a specific type of client who seeks a spiritual coach and often, it’s the kind of person who is looking for far more than just material success.

To be clear, this does not mean that spiritual life coaching clients are resistant to creating wealth or achieving goals such as writing a book, running a marathon, building a 7-figure business, or any other major goal or milestone most people value.

However, the key distinction is that most spiritual life coaching clients are also eager to dive beneath the surface and explore the inner workings of their life and the world, tap into their inner wisdom and intuition, and connect with their spirituality.

Most spiritual life coaching clients already have a particular faith or code that they believe in, and they are looking for guidance and support in going deeper to uncover not just what they want to do with their life, but why their life matters and what their purpose and contribution is. 

These coaching clients are also looking for a spiritual coach who isn’t just good at following a process or system with clients – such as a goal-setting process – but who is consistently integrating spiritual practices and methods into their life and work.

Key Difference #2 : Your Own Spiritual Beliefs

Another key difference to highlight is that a spiritual coach must have a clear and solid set of spiritual beliefs as the foundation of their work and methodology and that clients can resonate and connect with. This does not necessarily apply to other coaching niches.

For instance, if you are a spiritual life coach who works with the divine Laws of the Universe, clients will look to you to resolve challenges, conduct sessions, and demonstrate your thoughts, beliefs, and actions in harmony with these divine laws. Makes sense, right?

While it’s good to set up your spiritual life coaching practice based on proven business and marketing frameworks such as the setting the right price, understanding the art of selling, putting together powerful coaching packages (check out How to Start a Coaching Business for more on this), and all these other business-building strategies most coaches follow, spiritual life coaches need to know that they must build their practice using pathways that resonate with their clients – methods that will build their reputation as an authentic, reliable spiritual coach.

Your business decisions and actions need to be fully aligned with spiritual values such as integrity, trust, collaboration, kindness, generosity, and service, so your clients can witness your authenticity and know that you’re implementing your values in all aspects of your coaching business and methodology.

Unfortunately, some promising spiritual life coaches have had their career trajectory cut short because they said one thing and did another.

They ended up betraying their clients’ trust by presenting a kind, generous, spiritual persona to the world while running their business in ways that were in direct opposition to that persona such as being unfair or unkind to team members or choosing less than honest sales methods.

And this approach will certainly work for a while, but it won't be sustainable in the long run and it will be extremely difficult to re-build your reputation, authority, and business from scratch later on.

Growing a successful spiritual life coaching business hangs on more than just your skills as a coach, it depends on your reputation.

So whatever you do, make sure that you don’t just “talk the talk,” you need to “walk the walk.”

When you do that, you’ll find more and more coaching clients eager to sign up with you, work with you, and spread the word about your exceptional reputation to everyone they know.

CHAPTER 4

The 7 Universal Laws A
Spiritual Coach Needs To Know

As described in the previous chapter, it’s important that a spiritual coach identifies and embodies their own spiritual values and beliefs.

In this final chapter, we’ll explore one of the most powerful and fundamental spiritual systems in existence: The 7 Universal Laws.

This set of Spiritual Laws cover every aspect of life and business.

This is possibly the most popular and well-known of the 7 Universal Laws. The Law of Attraction works on the energetic vibration and frequency of our thoughts and emotions and it can be summarized as “like attracts like.”

This essentially means that when we think and feel in line with the vibration of scarcity and lack, we will attract the vibration of scarcity and lack which can manifest as experiences, relationships and other things that we don’t want.

While the Law of Attraction states that “like attracts like,” the Law of Deliberate Creation is about consciously offering intentional thoughts and emotions to create or manifest your desires and goals.

You can think of the Law of Attraction as exponentially expanding the vibration that we offer with the Law of Deliberate Creation.

In other words, the Law of Attraction gives us the response that arises from our intentional thoughts and emotions through the Law of Deliberate Creation.

The Law of Allowing comes into play after you identify your goals and dreams, and offer up high vibrational thoughts and emotions. Once you’ve started putting the Law of Attraction and the Law of Deliberate Creation into play, you then allow your goals and dreams to become your new reality.

This means releasing judgment and releasing the need to control how things work in your life. It’s about allowing yourself to be who you are and doing the same for others.

This is possibly the most important Universal Law in relation to entrepreneurship and business. The Law of Sufficiency and Abundance is about knowing on a spiritual level that everything you want and need is already inside yourself.

This means that you can create and manifest anything and everything you can imagine. If you can dream about it, you can make it happen. There is no such thing as “not enough," what you desire is available to you, and there’s no need to compete from a place of scarcity and lack.

The truth is, the Universe is limitless and it is always expanding, which means that no matter how successful someone else is, no matter how much others have achieved in terms of abundance, money and success, there is an endless supply that continues to flow to you.

The Law of Pure Potentiality states that the Universe and everything in it has no limits. This Law is about knowing that you can have everything you want because you have the unlimited potential of the Universe flowing through you.

The Law of Pure Potentiality asks that you unleash your creativity and receive ideas, insights, and signs to expand to your full potential.

Attachment ties us to our desires in ways that do not serve us. When we are tied and attached to what we want – including our most positive goals and dreams for our lives and work – we are introducing the energy of craving and of control.

These low vibrational energies can block the flow of Universal creativity from supporting us in our quest to manifest our biggest, boldest life.

Which is why it's so important to practice the Law of Detachment - be open to detaching from your goals and trusting the Universe to take you down the path you should take, even if it might not seem like that it is aligned to your current goals and dreams. 

The Law of Polarity states that where there is one thing, there is the opposite of that thing in existence. This means that when we desire something, our energy of desire is also flowing along with the opposite of that desire.

The truth is you cannot manifest something without the potential of manifesting the opposite.

For instance, if you want to create a thriving spiritual life coaching practice with a long waitlist of eager clients, there is also the potential of creating the opposite of that.

Understanding the Law of Polarity allows you to identify and resolve the opposing energies that can block your desires and goals from coming into existence.
