Niche Is a Specific Need, Not a Demographic Group

Most people get niching wrong because they define their niche as a demographic — 'I work with women over 40' or 'I help small business owners.' Your niche isn't the group you want to sell to. It's the specific need that group has. The distinction changes everything downstream: your marketing, your content, your positioning, your pricing. To build a high-ticket coaching business, narrow further — focus only on clients who can afford premium fees and invest in high-ticket packages. You should be excluding many potential clients, not trying to serve everyone. The tool-fit framing closes it: position yourself as having tools to help people get what they want, not as trying to sell them something.
