This really depends on the industry you are in. Is it not possible for you to do both? Building your personal brand and also establishing your website at the same time? The best example I can think of here is how Gary Vaynerchuk started Wine Library TV, but leveraged his own personality which ...
You can't verify anything, unless they give you their tax returns. You can do revenue share deals, where gurus are paid a percentage of profits they generate. Tip: True Gurus (upper 'G', rather than lower 'g') are busy generating cash. You'll rarely meet them + hardly anyone knows them. To mee...
Two key concerns are 1. Customer confusion with the 2 offerings: Imagine being in an art gallery that sells photography training and fine art or a book store that tries to sell you fine art. Even if it's the same group of people, they may be in very different mind-sets and hence may not associat...

I worked with a guy, who was with SKY news for 18 years, and we did a great transition for him into coaching. We discussed his strengths and weaknesses. We looked into what his passion was and created a purpose for it. I would want to work with you on who you want to serve and why. If you have an...
It's a balancing act. You're absolutely right in the observation that the hero is the client, but when a coach tells their own story the reader builds trust. They think, "this person had the same struggle as me and understands what the process is like, therefore I will trust the to relate to my p...
