150+ Mistakes Coaches Make
STOP Wasting Your Time, Losing Money & Maximize Your True Potential As A Personal / Business Coach
by Bart Smith
Have you ever seen a book written for coaches that specifically highlighted the business related mistakes, education/training mistakes, personal-related mistakes, coaching/client mistakes, marketing/promotion mistakes, website-related mistakes, communication mistakes, and money-making mistakes coaches could make in their coaching business practice? I’ve never seen one, so I wrote one. I wrote it while I was writing Rich Coach|Broke Coach. I specifically remember generating a huge list of different kinds of mistakes coaches make. It wasn’t until I had accumulated over 150 mistakes that I thought coaches should know about these. Well, here it is … 150+ Mistakes Coaches Make!
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
After reading this book, here's what you’ll walk away with:
They’ll know what common coaching-business mistakes to avoid before those mistakes cost them clients, money, time, or momentum.
They’ll learn how to build a stronger coaching-business foundation instead of constantly operating in reaction mode.
They’ll understand the importance of marketing consistently so clients and prospects keep flowing into their world.
They’ll get clearer on how to set professional boundaries with clients, including communication rules, access, expectations, and ethical limits.
They’ll learn how to protect their coaching practice with agreements, systems, legal clarity, client records, and better business organization.
They’ll discover ways to improve client results by using homework, session notes, forms, frameworks, progress tracking, and accountability.
They’ll recognize when they are talking too much, solving too quickly, or failing to listen deeply enough during coaching sessions.
They’ll be reminded to keep learning, stay current, invest in training, and continue improving their coaching skills, niche expertise, and business knowledge.
They’ll see how modern coaching now includes AI, automation, digital delivery, scalable offers, online scheduling, and technology upgrades.
They’ll walk away with a practical “what not to do” field guide they can use to strengthen their coaching business, serve clients better, and avoid preventable setbacks.

RAVE REVIEWS
“Bart’s book, 150+ Mistakes Coaches Make, really made me see where my coaching business was failing, or at least losing money. I don’t like to use that word, but in certain ways, I was not performing up to my best with my clients or myself as a coach for them. His education and training mistakes hit home with me so I went and got certified in my area of expertise which gave my income and reputation among clients a huge boost. His communication mistakes warn against things you should and shouldn’t say to clients , which in the end, can cost you dearly. Thanks, Bart, for showing me the light.” — Peter F., Real Estate Consultant, Glendale, CA
“I am so glad I got this book. Bart does a great job at pointing out the obvious and in so many instances. After reading the entire book in a couple days, I was able to clean up, consolidate and relaunch my real estate coaching and training programs with the confidence I wouldn’t be making the mistakes Bart outlines in his book. Thank you, Bart. Oh, and my bank account thanks you too!” — Alicia W., Texas (Real Estate Coach/Trainer)
AUTHOR MESSAGE
When I was writing RICH COACH BROKE COACH, one thing that kept coming to mind was the MISTAKES coaches make in their coaching business. So, I started accumulating a list of those mistakes which eventually totaled 150+. Wow, coaches were susceptible to making that many mistakes? That’s got to be shared!
Why be concerned about making mistakes? Isn’t failure feedback? Sure it is, but for coaches, minimizing the amount of times we fail or make mistakes will help keep us on track with our own goals as coaches, keep clients and prospects flowing in, keep clients moving towards their own goals with our help, and above all, keep our coaching businesses operating at optimal capacity.
Whether you are a seasoned coach or new to coaching, my hope is that you will learn something new (or be reminded about something to watch out for) from this book to help you be even more successful in your coaching business pursuits!
