“Now You Can Get Trained as a Professional Coach Without Years & Years of Study or Spending Thousands of Dollars…”
“It’s Really Possible to Get Started and Be on Track to Earning 6 Figures Doing Something You Love Without Having A Boss Yelling At You or Needing To Wake Up To An Alarm Clock… Ever Again…”
Dear Friend,
Do you want to get started in coaching because you’re excited by the possibility of earning 6 figures while doing something fun and rewarding for a living, but, you don’t know how to get started?
Do you grow more excited about becoming a professional coach, the more you think about it? But inside, are you also a little scared at the same time. Perhaps you’re scared about leaving your current job, or afraid of starting your own coaching business. Are you worried about not having job security?
If you’re scared and excited at the same time, let me help put your mind at ease. First of all, you don’t have to quit your day job to get started as a professional coach. Although some people do, it’s usually a good idea to get started with coaching part-time. Then you can slowly grow your client load over time while stashing away these extra earnings for when you’re ready to make the leap to full-time.
Do you wonder if coaching is too good to be true? Can you really make good money as a coach? Can you really set your own hours, work from home, and take as much vacation time as you want? Will you really get phone calls and emails from clients that are excited about their successes? The answer is an absolute “YES”, but…
How Fast Can You Get Started Earning Money As A Professional Coach?
Make no mistake, having a coaching business will be a real challenge. I’d be lying to you if I told you it would be easy every step of the way. You’ll have ups and downs, highs and lows. But, you’ll be living life on your own terms. And, when your coaching business is successful, you’ll have much more financial security than a job could ever give you in today’s world of corporate downsizing and outsourcing.
How fast can you get you start earning money as a coach? Many people start earning some money right away. Some coaches grow their business to 6 figures very quickly (1 of my clients did it in 90 days), and others take a few years to ramp up to that level.
How fast will you grow your business? Again, that’s up to you. How much time you can put into it, your background, your determination, your mindset, etc. Some people will easily earn back the cost of this program before the program is over. One thing is for sure, when you become successful as a professional coach, you’ll be very happy you started this journey.
When you become a successful professional coach, here’s some of what you can expect. You will…
- Enjoy working with people that look to you for support, advice, and a warm heart.
- Earn a great living with no limits on how much money you make (the more people you help, the more you can make! – some coaches make 6 and 7 figure incomes!)
- Get emails and phone calls from people thanking you for the difference you’re making in their lives.
- Be in total control of your life because you have a completely flexible schedule (you can work the hours you want, take vacations whenever you want, and take time off anytime you want or need).
- Call all the shots (most coaches have their own coaching business and are their own boss).
- Wake up excited every day because you love what you do for a living (and because you don’t have to wake up to an alarm clock).
The 3 Keys To Becoming A Great Coach…
If you think you might be ready to get started with coaching, but you’re not sure where to start or what all it will take, then I have good news for you. There are just 3 important ingredients that you’ll need to get started.
1. Confidence: You’ll need to believe in yourself and believe that you can make a difference in people’s lives.
2. Competence: You’ll need to actually be able to make an impact on your clients; help them achieve change.
3. Heart: You have to have a strong love of helping people.
You probably already posses some of these ingredients. But, if you’re like most people, you may have the heart for it, and you may even have confidence, but if you don’t yet feel competent coaching someone to achieve their goals or make changes, then you’re not alone.

Can You Really Become A Great Coach In Just Four Months?
Becoming a great professional coach is like learning how to play a sport. Whether it’s baseball, volleyball, or kick-ball, you can get the gist of how to play in a few minutes. Then after playing a handful of times you’ll learn all of the rules. And, if you have a heart for it, you can spend the rest of your life working at getting more and more confident and competent. Becoming a coach is the same way.
You can learn the “rules of the coaching game” and start playing right away, but if you love it, you’ll likely spend the rest of your life mastering your craft. Honing and refining your skills over time is part of the process. There’s an art and a science to it. You’ll learn the science part in this program. The art is up to you to develop and put in your own imprint.
Each coach is different because everyone brings something unique to the table. Your past experience, your energy, your heart, and your skills, will all play a part in the *art* of your craft. It’s a life-long learning process. I’m still learning and I’ll always be learning.
You’ll be able to start practicing right away to develop yourself and your abilities. The good news is that having a coach is such a powerful thing that even an inexperienced coach makes a difference for people. Having you there will be great for them. And as you become a better and better coach, you’ll become more and more valuable.
Part of the value of coaching comes from the client’s own commitment to themselves and their goals. The minute they hire you, they’ll start feeling supported and be more committed to their own success. Even if you’re not the “world’s-greatest-coach-of-all-time”, people will still get a tremendous benefit from having you coach them.

Become a Coach Now!
If you want to speed up the process of becoming a powerful, effective, and wise professional coach, then I have great news for you. You can now master the same coaching system that I’ve been using to get BIG results with my clients for the last 8 years.
If you want to get started in coaching, and feel you’d make a good coach, then this program is for you because it has exactly what you’ll want and need to always know what to do when you are working with coaching clients in each individual “coaching session” and over the long haul.
These are the factors you should consider when choosing the right coach training for you:
- How long before I’m ready to start working with clients?
- What is the time investment to “get up to speed”?
- Can I review the materials anytime I want?
- Can I go at my own pace?
- Is this training “real world” based, or merely rooted in exciting sounding “philosophy”.
- Does it fit into my budget?
This coach training program will be 3 things for you…
1) Your own personal growth work: You will learn a lot about yourself, about your goals, and about your own heart. When you graduate from the Rapid Coaching Academy, you will be on a path to your own Personal Legend -living a life more in alignment with your heart and intuition. You will be “bigger” on the inside than you were before you started and you’ll feel extremely proud of yourself for your accomplishments.
2) Your own coach: You will be setting goals for the things that you want to change in your life. You will focus on getting rid of the things you don’t like (unfulfilling career, extra unwanted body fat, unhealthy relationships, etc.), and achieving the things that you really want (higher income, new love, more energy, etc). You will coach yourself using the techniques that I will teach you. Using the cutting edge rapid coaching methodology™.
3) Your training ground: You will learn the skills and strategies that make coaches highly effective when working with clients. You’ll immediately be able to start working with clients and making an impact in their lives (or businesses). In fact, you will:
- Be able to pick up on “underlying factors” that keep them from setting goals and following through with their plans.
- Keep clients on track with achieving their goals and help them to speed up the process.
- Dissolve the mental and emotional blocks that slow your clients down.
Be a better friend, or partner to people you care about because you’ll be able to “hear them” in a new way that let’s them feel more open, and anything you say will be better received.

The “Rapid Coaching™ System” is a proven, powerful way to:
- Help potential clients see the value of coaching!
- Quickly assess where your clients challenges are!
- Know where to start your coaching with your clients!
- Make sure you aren’t missing anything/letting things fall through the cracks!
- Help clients become more participatory in the coaching process.
- Win over more clients! (unlike other coaching schools, our training is based on the real-world demand for coaching that already exists, not just coaching theory.)
- Maintain and increase value for your clients over time (so they want to keep coaching with you).
Who this program is ideally suited for:
- People that want to quickly get started with coaching.
- People that already have a background related to coaching (teaching, therapy, or consulting).
- People who want to quickly get a feel for what coaching is, how it works, and how to start doing it with others.
- Managers, business leaders, or small business owners that want to get more performance out of their important people.
- Coaches that have trained at other coaching schools, but didn’t get enough real world, practical, usable, results-driven tools, and want to get that now.
Who this program is not meant for:
- People who want a one-stop, all encompassing training program, that teaches you everything you need to know about human beings (no such program exists, by the way- though you may be promised this elsewhere).
- People looking for a short-cut to become therapists by calling yourself a coach. This coach training program will teach you techniques to take clients through emotional issues that are keeping them stuck (such as fear), but this program is not about working through serious mental illnesses such as clinical depression, etc. If you want to do that kind of work, please become a therapist.
The Rapid Coaching Academy Includes…

COACH TRAINING: 26 CDs including…
- The overview of the entire Rapid Coaching™ methodology.
- How to get the coaching process started with new clients so that there is immediate client momentum, “buy in”, trust, and safety.
- The 5 pieces of the coaching process and how to effectively facilitate each one of them.
- How to help clients overcome their inner doubts, fears, and mental blocks that slow them down or stop them from moving forward toward their goals.
- How to help your clients set goals and a new direction for their lives (or business).
- How to create a “safe space” for clients to share what’s “really going” (if you don’t have a completely open and honest space, it will be hard for clients to keep producing the results they desire and they may be ashamed to be honest with you).
- What to do when a client needs to “get better” in order to achieve specific results (like get better at sales, leadership, etc.) even if you aren’t great at them yourself.
- Give your clients “x-ray vision” to see the hidden factors that can slow progress down to a snails pace.
- The “real deal” about getting certified, being “credible”, the experience you need, etc. to be able to call yourself a coach and start getting clients (hint: after you get this program, you’ll be able to get started tomorrow).
Bonus: Study Group/Buddy Coaches
You will have the opportunity to connect with other students to form study groups and “buddy coach” each other for practice, learning, support, and personal growth. You can have as many buddy coaches as you want and practice as much as you want.
Bonus: Technique Clinic
You’ll listen in as these 3 experts share their “super power” coaching technique. You’ll learn what they are, how they work, and how to do them with clients (and on yourself for your own benefit).


60 Day “Become A Coach” Guarantee
We’ll do everything we can to make you 100% happy, and I’m sure you will be! But, you shouldn’t have to be concerned about how much you’ll enjoy and get value from this program.
You can order this program to try it out for yourself and make sure it gives you the training you need to be a great coach and that you’re 100% happy with your decision. If you don’t love it, just return the program in “like new” re-sellable condition and we’ll issue you an immediate refund anytime within the first 60 days.


Why Sign Up Now?
You should register for this program right now because if you are seriously considering getting into professional coaching, you’re considering a radical change in your life. Whenever we are faced with doing something “big”, often times our fears can creep up and stop us from taking action.
It usually starts by putting off the decision, saying “I’ll think about it” and then, the next thing you know, a year will go by in the blink of an eye and instead of being deep into your coaching business, you may start to forget your dream and your momentum will be lost. The “fates” reward action. Whenever you make a decision you gain power. When you put off making a decision you can become weaker.
If you’re really serious about this, take the reins of your life and make a powerful decision. Even if the answer is not “yes”, make a decision one way or another. If you want to bounce this decision off of someone, I’d be happy to “coach” you on it. As a coach, I promise to guide you only toward what is 100% in your best interest. Simply email me or call me up to discuss it. Or if you’re ready, then get started right now.

Questions?
Q: Will I really become a coach after going through this training program?
A: You’re probably already a coach on the inside. If you like helping people, you were born for this and may have been doing this for years without getting paid for it. This training will enhance the skills you already have and equip you with new techniques to help people reach their goals and overcome the challenges standing in their way. This program will give you more confidence and competence with your ability to make a difference. It will also give you a format to follow in your coaching sessions so you always know what you’re doing.
Q: What if I take a few classes and I find that coaching is not for me, or that this training isn’t for me?
A: This program comes with a 60 day total happiness guarantee. If you don’t love it for ANY reason, simply let me know any time within the first 2 months and you’ll get a full refund of every penny! However…you’ll lose access to all of the trainings and you won’t get your coaching certifications.
Q: What will be covered during the course of this training program?
A: You will learn a specific approach or methodology to use for your own success, to use at work with people on your team, to use at home for better and clearer communication and understanding, and of course, to use with clients. It is a powerful and comprehensive, yet simple approach that anyone can learn.
Q: Is this something people can join anytime, or is it time sensitive?
A: While you can join the Rapid Coaching Academy program any time, the bonus admissions to the “Relationship Coach Academy” and “Weight Loss Coach Academy” are only available right now…
Especially, if you want to get in on the live training. This will only be offered live 1 time. After that, you’ll only get recordings and you’ll likely have to pay extra for them.
Q: Admission & Tuition for these 2 NEW coach training schools is really free?
A: Yes, you won’t have to pay any extra for Relationship Coach Academy” and “Weight Loss Coach Academy”. However, you will need to be enrolled in Rapid Coaching Academy in order to get access.
Q: Certification. I have looked at a few coaching programs that offer various levels of certification. What additional training will I need after your course to become a coach that can charge for services and be recognized in the community as a Coach. What do the certifications that come with other programs get me?
My Answer:
There are a several coach certifying organizations, but there is not one official organization in charge of the coaching industry. Anyone can become a coach at anytime, even without training. All it takes to be recognized as a coach is for you to start calling yourself a coach. And, anyone can start charging for coaching at any time.
The coach that I hired to coach me right now is not certified.
In fact, none of the coaches I’ve hired over the last 11 years have been certified (not a conscious choice, just a coincidence).
More importantly, I’ve NEVER been asked by a potential client if I was certified. They don’t look for this. They just want to feel like you can help them. If you can show how you can help them in a compelling way, you can get clients.
After you complete the Rapid Coaching Academy, you’ll know how to coach people, how to help them get great results and you’ll understand the coaching process. You’ll have more confidence and you’ll be able to provide a valuable service to your fellow man.
The certifications you get from other programs will give you a nice looking piece of paper to hang on the wall and a certain level of pride in accomplishment. But in terms of real world value, certification doesn’t really do anything to help get clients and isn’t required in any way shape or form. If you know how to coach, and find people that need and want your help, you’re good to go!
That said, we now include certification. By completing the Rapid Coaching Academy coach training, you’ll become a certified “Elite Coaching Professional” by the International Association of Elite Coaching Professionals (IAECP).
Q: Your program seems to consist of 26 CDs. Can I really learn coaching from this?
A: The best answer I have for you is this quote by business guru Peter F. Drucker:
The fewer data needed, the better the information. And an overload of information, that is, anything much beyond what is truly needed, leads to information blackout. It does not enrich, but impoverishes.
- Peter F. Drucker
I think most coach training programs circle around and around much of what we teach in very pure, powerful ways. What you’ll learn over the course of the program will be better than what you’ll learn in many other programs after 2 years and thousands of dollars. You’ll “get” this stuff. And you can try it out for 60 days to make sure it’s for you.
I look forward to getting to know you better and watching you grow whether you take advantage of this program or not.
Warmest Regards,
Christian Mickelsen
Coach
PS: You can order this program to try it out for yourself and make sure it gives you the training you need to be a great coach and that you’re 100% happy with your decision. If you don’t love it, just return the program in “like new” re-sellable condition and we’ll issue you an immediate refund anytime within the first 60 days.






When I began looking into the coaching world
in early 2006, I was overwhelmed with the
number of coaching programs, schools, and
“coaches for coaches” offering advice on
getting started. But as an established
communication expert with two master’s
degrees, I knew one thing was certain: I was
not about to take an expensive, drawn out
1-3 year program to learn how to coach when
most of the material in those other programs
was based on the exact communication
principles I myself had been teaching others
for years.
Hello,
Christian!
"The
Rapid Coaching Academy brought
clarity and ease to the "notion of
coaching" and still continues to
keep me on top of my game!!
I am excited at the prospect of becoming a life coach and would love to do the course but i cant afford $299 per month at the moment. Is there any way i can establish a payment plan of $200 per month to get started, with a view of paying more as my current income increases. Ideally i would like to pay the full amount off asap.
Regards,
Tina Fontan
Hi, Tina.
Thanks for writing and for your honesty. We sent a reply directly to your email address. Please let me know if you need any additional support.
Cheers,
Kim
I am in the same boat at Tina. I would love to take your program, but I can’t afford the $299 payment. Is there any way the payment could be lowered.
Hi, Maggie. Great to speak to you today and I’m glad that we had a chance to get to know each other.
Many blessings.
Kim
I can’t beleive I’ve been going for years without knowing that.
Like the two previous respondents, I am also in the position that I currently do not have the funds to make the $299 payments at this time. I anticipate that I will have an additional income stream at the end of March, at which time I can start making the monthly payments. It seems that coaching can provide a way out of the financial situation that confronts me, but I am not currently able to launch a coaching enterprise. I am certain that coaching is something I want to do, and I am committed to making it happen, but I am not able to make the initial investment at the present time.
I would appreciate any advice you might offer.
Lonnell Johnson
What if I already have the Rapid Coaching Academy?? I bought it in 2009 – still have it and still use it.
What is the cost of the certifications and trainings that are added (that are not part of the RCA kit) in order to become one of your coaches??
Thanks!
Kristin
One more thing I wanted to add. I’m a counselor and a coach, so I’m interested in the Relationship Coach part that is March 10th and 11th – However, business has been really slow and my issues are getting clients. I have a blog, I have a twitter and facebook fan page. I have a website. I also post in forums to get more clients as well. I have been to networking groups (face-to-face) and they have not helped. I’m looking at new ways to get clients but I need to have a list in order to send emails. Additionally, I haven’t had the time to really “socialize” because I’m either working at my day job or building my business. I realize networking is important but I’ve been inundated with MLM folks and sales pitches and I’m trying to figure out how to best get my name out there, make connections and referrals. I realize networking is a two-way street, and based on relationship building, but it’s hard to recommend others and spread the word about their business when I don’t have a large circle to begin with. I don’t know if anyone else has these issues, but I just thought I’d put it out there. Thanks so much for all you do!!
~Kristin
Kristin, I can relate, believe me… however, if you’ve been inundated by MLMers, THEY are a very good source of clients because they always look to A/ improve themselves, B/ become more credible people in order to inspire trust and recruit, C/ be more organized with their time in order to pursue their MLM enterprise more than their regular job, and so on… the same happened to me and brought me to realize the following (because I have an MLM endeavor on the side as well)… “to treat my coaching business the way I treat my MLM” which itself, is based on a numbers game… a game that can also be done with respect and heart. Hang in there, because you are making all the right moves… just add a little tweaking!
We are hopeful about the opportunities ahead, and stand ready to join this President in an open and honest dialogue about improving the state of our union for all Americans not the select few.
I just finished listening to the whole program. I am ITCHING to join this training, but cannot commit to 299.00 monthly or the full price. They are EXCELLENT OFFERS and I feel that the whole program is offered in such sincerity and that is exactly what I am looking for…..AUTHENTIC
I am so frustrated that I cannot jump into this right now. I feel like I am stepping backwards. Christian sounds so caring and truly like he wants all of us to succeed. Thank you for that.
Blessings…….Carol
WOW…when I read through the replies all I see is people focussing on their problem of not having $299 for the course….geeez i’m not surprised with the type of thinking their expressing and where their focus is…
What makes it really funny is their wanting to coach others to win yet they refuse to get results focused for themselves…just an idea I could be wrong/right

Luv your work
thnx mate
I believe your program is great. I saw you mentioned march 12, 13 is that of next year, or these were offered already in 2011 ?
Could you elaborate more on the 5 step coaching process ?
I see you include the business plan coacching kit, the relationship coaching and the weight loss program. What about time or life management ? Are there other areas included in your CDs ?
What is the number of hours necessary to complete the course, homework and class time ( cd time ) ?
I really like the the individual class outline option or bonus. I guess that will keep one on track.
What about the client getting emails is that included here as well ?
Thanks,
Frank
I’m very interested in this program, but right now I’m having a hard time finding clients. Does this program cover that aspect at all? If not, what do you recommend?
Hi Sandra,
You have Client Attraction and Money Making Mastery as well as Free Sessions that Sell – both of
those programs will help you find clients.
