Product Description
Here's how to start your personal service business. Develop an icon, logo, and motto for your coaching clients. As a job or career coach, an executive coach, or a life coach, you will be presenting and classifying your client's competencies, writing resumes, cover letters, and creating a wide variety of business correspondence including sales letters, news releases, and direct mail copy.

You will be planning events for your clients and their prospective employers. You'll need to really work a room to find clients as well as niches or jobs for clients when networking at professional associations and trade shows. Most frequently, you'll be asked to write, evaluate, and repackage resumes, cover letters, and other summaries of qualifications of your clients.

A resume is a summary of qualifications. A career coach helps clients find success by taking step-by-step detailed, concrete strategies that solve specific problems, get results, and reach a defined goal. A resume writing business online can be combined with a career coaching enterprise. The steps are outlined here for you to follow in chronological order to open and operate a resume-writing service business and also a career coaching enterprise, online from your home, mobile location, or office. You can telecommute online and still help people find direction by offering information, training, or consulting services.

Here's how to open an online business at home presenting and packaging your clients' competencies. Make your living writing resumes, business letters, and being a job coach. Help clients obtain appoints for interviews that may eventually lead to finding work. Write and repackage resumes and all types of business correspondence—from cover letters and follow-ups to direct mail or trade show sales letters.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy ANY other book! ANY OTHER BOOK!!!!!!!, August 28, 2008

By	A.D. Dixon - See all my reviews

This is the first book I've ever returned because I didn't like it.

It's not that I didn't like it. It is incomprehensible. It's completely nonsensical. I cannot get past page 20, because it is totally incoherent.

Chapter 1 is supposed to be about business planning, but is actually about writing and selling information products as a business. I bought this book because I want to start a career counseling business, not information publishing. I also don't want to, as the author suggests, write pet eulogies and decoupage them on plaques.

I do not believe, as the author said, that "people consult a career coach because they want to feel dignified." I think people hire a career coach to find a job.

The second chapter, which is titled "How to Presell..." is actually about how to incorporate and write a business plan. Except for the three pages of chapter 1 which are repeated verbatim.

Seriously. The chapters don't talk about what they promise, the first 20 pages of the book are impossible to follow, the book does NOT (at least not in the first two chapters I struggled through) show how to start a career coaching business, and if this book ever occupied the same room as an editor, I'm the queen of Hawaii.

THREE PAGES COPIED VERBATIM from one chapter to the next!

I understand that this writer has written 61 books. I hope she got an editor for the other 60.

This is the most useless pile of paper I've ever seen. The toilet paper in my bathroom is worth more than this book, and I'm returning it for exactly that reason.

Oh, and the cover, which can't be seen clearly online, has monsters and zombies on it. If I'd known that, I would have judged the book--deservedly--by its cover. It's truly horrifying.
