Narrowing your niche unlocks the clients and revenue you're trying to get

The biggest mistake coaches make is trying to help everyone. It seems logical but it causes failure. When you try to attract everyone, you literally can't take a step in any direction — you don't know which clients you're targeting, what to say to them, how to get them to your website, or how to convert them. Successful niche targeting requires narrowing down to exclude many potential clients. The paradox is that by getting more specific, you attract more of the right people and can finally say something compelling to them. Coaches who struggle with this get stuck because every message they write has to work for everybody and therefore resonates with nobody. Pick a specific person with a specific problem and everything else — your content, your offer, your outreach — snaps into focus.
