The most practical and inspiring book on building a Coaching Business
I've read my fair share of books about how to build a coaching business on my journey to becoming a Story Coach. And Total Coaching Success is BY FAR the best book I've read. Carolyn is engaging, and entertaining, and delivers incredible value in this book. I learned so much about overcoming my limiting beliefs, having FUN creating clients, and being confident in my pricing. She also includes many useful resources and templates that you can use to get started. I appreciated all the personal and client stories that she weaved into each point, making each lesson tangible and memorable. Unlike many other books I've read, Total Coaching Success never got repetitive. I recommend this book to every new coach I encounter, and I highly recommend you get it too!

The best book on the BUSINESS of Coaching out there.
I've read a lot of books on coaching and the business-side of coaching. This is hands down the best one I've read. It's practical, actionable, with lots of deep wisdom while also being fun, funny, and entertaining. I highly recommend it for ANY coach wanting insights into how to grow their coaching business and become a better coach and human.

Perfect brilliant simplicity!
If you are a #coach or dreaming of stepping into #coaching… This is a must-read! Carolyn Freyer-Jones is a brilliant human and a master of the game I call ‘The Business of Coaching.’ I coach the coaches who coach coaches and found so much gold within. You will as well!

Blah
The book is too basic, one toned, and doesn't touch on internal coaching

This best book about coaching you will ever read.
An incredible book that I will return to time & time again in my journey through the world of coaching. Even if you're not a coach, this book will bring something positive into your life as it cuts through the unnecessary white noise and offers simple & effective approaches to life in general as well as in serving others.

A must read book for all coaches
An amazing practical guide for any coach who is wanting to establish themselves in this profession. Very easy to read and reminds of the tip I received from another coach " Read a little, do a little.. helps in the long run to be persistent in practice".. Each and every page has something for us to apply, test and learn. Thanks Carolyn for taking time to share your experiences to help us grow.

If You Really Love This Coaching Game - Read This Book
I'm about a quarter of the way through and wow this hit me like a ton of bricks - in the most awesomest of ways. It's a reality check - Coaching is about my own transformation as much as my clients. It's showing me where I'm not doing the work - where I'm hiding, looking for shortcuts. It also reflects many things which I am doing eg continues to show the importance of being coached as a coach Overall I just feel so in love with this profession reading it. There's so many practical things I've already taken away - looking and creating my calendar, clarifying what is purposeful work, creating a game I want to play to create clients, reaching out and connecting with people I want to speak to for the love of connecting. This is definitely a book I'll read frequently and check in with, such a gift to our art form. Thank you Carolyn!

Coaches this is a must read!!!
I only got this book today! I’m already up to chapter 8! It is such an easy read, love Carolyn’s humour, she says it how it is and it all makes so much sense to help me progress my coaching journey. She was where I am now (3 years into building a coaching business), she’s had all the doubts I have, and has really made me realise how possible it is to be successful just like Carolyn. I honestly can’t put it down as I’m eager to know my next move in enrollment or setting my fees, or getting out of my comfort zone. Thank you Carolyn for writing such an informative, humorous book where I can implement and grow my practice with ease.
