Proverbs 10 is packed with wisdom for starting a coaching business, especially when incorporating AI tools like ChatGPT. Here, I’ll break down the Kingdom principles for your coaching venture in a way that’s not only practical but also humorous to keep things light. Let’s dig in: Kingdom Principle 1: Work Hard and Reap the Rewards (Proverbs 10:4) Verse: “Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth.” — Proverbs 10:4 Informal Definition: “Coaching success isn’t a Netflix binge marathon—it’s more like a workout. If you don’t show up and sweat, your business won’t grow. No shortcuts, just hustle.” Examples: 1. Client Relationships: You consistently show up for your clients with top-tier coaching, creating long-lasting relationships instead of hoping they stick around after one session. 2. AI Tools: You put in the effort to learn how to effectively use AI in your coaching—whether for automating admin tasks or tailoring client programs—so you get maximum benefit. 3. Marketing Strategy: Instead of throwing out a couple of posts and praying for results, you build a solid content strategy, leveraging AI to create personalized emails, blogs, and social posts to grow your audience. Kingdom Principle 2: Be Honest and Transparent (Proverbs 10:9) Verse: “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.” — Proverbs 10:9 Informal Definition: “No need to act shady or wear a ‘fake it till you make it’ mask. Honesty in your coaching business will keep you from dodging disaster like a kid playing hide-and-seek.” Examples: 1. Client Promises: You avoid overpromising results that are unrealistic in a coaching program. Transparency with your clients builds trust, leading to a stronger reputation. 2. AI Usage: When using AI like ChatGPT, you’re upfront with your clients about how it complements your coaching, ensuring they know AI is a tool—not a replacement for your expertise. 3. Refund Policies: You make sure your refund and pricing policies are clear from the start, avoiding any awkward conversations down the line.
