		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest questions you need to ask yourself before hiring a life coach is what exactly you hope to gain by hiring one.  If you don’t know what you hope to get out of it, a life coach cannot read your mind and figure that out for you.  You have to know exactly what you want from the relationship in order for the life coach to help you devise an exact strategy to help you get there.

One thing you need to keep in mind, is that if you aren’t really committed to changing for the better, or you can’t take constructive criticism, hiring a life coach may not be the best option for you right now.  You need to be open to new ideas and things you might not have considered before.  After all, what you’ve been doing obviously hasn’t been working as well as you’d like so what can it hurt to try something new or different?

		<description><![CDATA[You betcha! J OK, so maybe you won’t die if you don’t have one, but seriously, a life coach can… well change your life!  But honestly only you can decide if you really need a life coach or not.  If you are going through a transition in your life and you need help or guidance, a life coach can be just the ticket.  Often times there are specific reasons one might seek a life coach.

1. If you have a hard time dealing with stress or stressful situations.  A life coach can help you manage your stress and teach you techniques to relieve your anxiety.

2. If you have a hard time making decisions in your life.  A life coach can help you identify goals and decide on the best course of action to meet them… thus, help you learn to make decisions. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With all the buzz going around about coaching, many folks are still a bit confused on what exactly the differences may be between a ‘life coach’ and a ‘therapist’.  It’s a good question, so I’ll try to clear it up a bit now.

Life coaching and therapy are similar in that they both revolve around similar processes.  They both require complete confidentiality, as well as support and trust between the two parties.  They also both require the coach to be non-judgmental as well as exhibit superior listening skills.

It’s often said that a life coach is for planning your future and a therapist is for dealing with your past.  This is fairly accurate as an assessment.  A life coach will not be the one to help you resolve past issues or skeletons in the closet.  They usually work with you to help you devise a plan of action for setting and meeting goals within your life. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[so we've been discussing split testing.  If you aren't up to speed, you can read Are You Split Testing Part 1  and Are You Split Testing Part 2 by clicking those links.

Let's dive right back in.

The third vitally important element you should be split testing is your call to action.  Honestly, you have to deliver a call to action with 100 percent precision and clarity.  NEVER assume people will just know what you want them to do, and make CERTAIN your call to action is clear, concise, and as compelling as you can possibly make it.  

And how do you do that? You test it! It doesn't matter how awesome the rest of your page is, if your call to action falls flat, you will lose the prospect, and they move on to the next great thing.  So test, test, test!

Finally, the other things you should be split testing are your bullets and your very first paragraph.  Always keep your reader in mind with everything that you do, and your bullets and the first paragraph of your page will be two of the things their eyes will be drawn to.  IF that is, your headers and subheads are doing THEIR job.
Maybe one bullet seems to work better than another.  Maybe one bullet is more of a benefit, while the other is a feature and creates a lower response rate. ]]></description>
