Many coaches spend hours creating websites, posting on social media, and trying different marketing strategies.

But before any of that can truly be effective, there’s an important question to answer:

Who are you trying to help?

The clearer you are about the people you’re called to serve, the easier it becomes to create offers, write content, communicate your value, and attract clients who genuinely resonate with your work.

If you’re still refining your niche or wanting more clarity about your ideal clients, the questions below can help you uncover valuable insights and identify patterns you may not have noticed before.
