It's not ethical.  To build your company, get testimonials from people who respect you for how they've gained or transformed from your coaching.  Coaching is mostly not about telling people what to do, it's sharing your experience and what strategies worked and what can work for them too.  Failure is not the opposite of success, giving up is. You can't fail as long as you're pushing through all setbacks and hindrances.    "You don't have to be the best in the world to be a coach, you just have to be experienced in what your client needs." —  Mitch Russo Get Mitch Russo's free ebook on how to get publicity at,  https://profitstackingsecrets.com/   Get Mitch Russo's blueprint for creating a certification program at www.powertribesbook.com     Get the complimentary guide: How To Select An Executive Coach at www.selectcoach.workplacewarrior.com    Get the Am I Abrasive Self Test at abrasive.workplacewarrior.com  Connect with Mitch Russo:   Website: https://mitchrusso.com/ | https://clientfol.io/client/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mitchrusso/  Twitter: https://twitter.com/mitchrusso   Connect with Jordan:  Get the complimentary guide: How To Select An Executive Coach at www.selectcoach.workplacewarrior.com  Get the Am I Abrasive Self Test at abrasive.workplacewarrior.com    Website: www.workplacewarriorinc.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordangoldrich1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.goldrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordangoldrich/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jgoldrich/
