I could (but won't) mention several high profile Internet marketers who offer exclusive coaching programs to teach others what they are doing to make six- or even seven-figure incomes. And they can do that, even if they are not "real" coaches, who went to Coach U or some other recognized, accredited coach training program. The coaching industry is unregulated, although there are a few professional associations like the ICF and IAC trying to set some standards. Some coaching purists disdain marketing of any sort. This is a perennial point of tension on the New Coach Connection discussion list. All our guests in this series have stressed that operating a successful business as a coach requires an attraction engine and a marketing plan, starting with defining what you do in a tangible way.
