I'm sending it back, June 14, 2008
This review is from: Coaching Millions: Help More People, Make More Money, Live Your Ultimate Lifestyle (Paperback)
I feel compelled to write a review for this book because all of the reviews, thus far, are so positive. These same reviews convinced me to buy the book. I feel misled. After two evenings with the book, I've packed it up to send it back to Amazon.
I consider a book valuable under two conditions: (1) it's aesthetically pleasing and/or (2) it contains great insights. This book fits neither criteria. It looks like a word document, printed out and bound at Kinkos. The text is huge and the writing is poor. At one point the author brags that while she wrote her first book in 6 months and her second in 6 weeks, her third book took mere hours. Unfortunately it shows. I also found the information and "insights" in the book tired regurgitations of what's said better elsewhere. Except in this book we have to hear much too much about how skillful the author is in her own business practices.
My main take-away from this book is that the barriers to getting a book published are not nearly as high as I'd imagined. I suppose, in a back-handed way, that is a good lesson to have learned.
There are so many coaching books out there, many well informed with great, implementable insights for new and experienced coaches. With so many to choose from, I do not recommend this one.
Instead, try "The Business and Practice of Coaching: Finding Your Niche, Making Money, and Attracting Ideal Clients".

Exactly What You Need To Build A 7 Figure Income, July 31, 2007
This review is from: Coaching Millions: Help More People, Make More Money, Live Your Ultimate Lifestyle (Paperback)
When I met Milana a few months ago, she told me about her coaching book. I wasn't expecting much, as there were some other books in the field that seemed to encourage the "struggling mindset" that most coaches are mired in.
But I didn't yet know Milana.
Milana's rise as a successful coach is inspiring. Moreover, the book is an exciting read.. laying out in simple step by step fashion EXACTLY how to build a coaching empire.
Even if you think you know business, there plenty to learn from reading "Coaching Millions" and if you are lucky enough to be finding this book just as you are considering adding coaching to your business, you will be blessed with a "Road Map" to a lucrative success.
I'm recommending it to authors and business people on my mailing list and buying several copies to hand out to my coaching students. "Coaching Millions" is a "Must Read"

A Must-Read Blueprint for Making Millions in Coaching Business, September 19, 2007
This review is from: Coaching Millions: Help More People, Make More Money, Live Your Ultimate Lifestyle (Paperback)
Milana Leshinky's Coaching Millions is one of the best, most engaging books I read in a long time - and I read a lot of books on marketing and business growth. If you are already a coach, or if you're considering getting into the coaching business, it would be a mistake not to invest a few dollars into this book - because it will give you a step-by-step blueprint for making millions as a coach.
In fact, I believe there are three reasons every coach, consultant, speaker, trainer, or any other professional who considers getting into the coaching business should read this book.
1) This isn't the typical 'join the networking groups' advice. Instead, the book gives detailed explanation of profitable business models used by all successful coaches.
Plus you'll find step-by-step explanations how to use Internet, teleseminars, and information products to profitably promote your coaching services.
2) Coaching Millions is an easy read. The book is written in an easy to follow conversational language and has a very logical flow of topics. But what I liked the most is how Milana injected her personality into the dreaded topic of marketing.
When you read it, you'll forget it's a book and almost have a feeling of sitting across the table from Milana, having a cup of coffee together, and chatting away as she personally coaches you through building a successful business.
3) This book by itself is a masterful example of how each service professional should write their 'credibility business card'. The book is worth buying for this reason alone.
Each professional should have a book that illustrates their expertise, educates readers, and promotes the author's other products and services. And Milana has done an outstanding job modeling how it should be done.
As a marketing expert, over the past few years, I watched Milana Leshinsky masterfully execute and teach effective marketing strategies. Once, after noticing one of her brilliant ideas, I wrote her that I'm `green with envy'. Today, after reading this book, I'm `green with envy' again that she wrote it first! I suggest you buy it right away - it will be one of the best investments in yourself you'll ever make.
