How I Got My First Coaching Client After Finding My Niche

Starting a coaching business can be exciting, but also deeply overwhelming — especially when you’re not sure who you’re actually meant to serve.

I knew I wanted to coach, but I didn’t have clarity on my niche. I didn’t know where to begin. And without direction, I felt stuck.

But once I got support and found my niche, everything changed. I got focused, confident — and I signed my first paying coaching client.

Here’s exactly how it happened.

Before: Feeling Lost in My Coaching Journey

Before getting help, I was asking myself the same questions many new coaches do:

• “Who is my ideal client?”
• “What makes me different from other coaches?”
• “Is my niche too broad… or too specific?”
• “Will anyone actually pay me to coach them?”

Even though I had the passion, I didn’t have a clear plan. I was trying to do everything — and reaching no one.

The Turning Point: Getting Niche Clarity

That’s when I found DoingCoaching.com and started working with Sbu.

He helped me:

✅ Define my niche in a way that felt natural and aligned
✅ Understand my target audience’s struggles and desires
✅ Use market research tools to validate my niche
✅ Build a solid foundation for my coaching business

For the first time, I could clearly explain who I help, how I help them, and what results they could expect. I had a voice and a vision.

After: Landing My First Coaching Client

Once I had clarity, I showed up differently.

• I spoke with confidence.
• I shared my offer clearly.
• I started attracting the right conversations.

Soon after, I signed my first official coaching client — and it felt amazing!

This was the confirmation I needed: that the work I’m doing is valuable and that people are willing to pay for it.

What I Learned from Signing My First Client

Here are 3 key takeaways that helped me get here:

1. Clarity comes before clients

You can’t market something you don’t understand. Once you know your niche, it becomes easier to speak to the people you want to help.

2. Get the right support

Trying to figure it all out on your own takes longer and feels harder. Having a coach or guide (like Sbu) saves time and builds real momentum.

3. Don’t wait for perfect

I didn’t have a website, a funnel, or fancy branding. I just had clarity and courage. And that was enough to start.
