This was NOT an easy choice. We had a flood of e-mails between the three of us, judges, taking many things into consideration. One thing I personally noticed is that every applicant came from a place of passion for what they do. I encourage EVERYONE who applied to apply again next year!

Join us at the Coaching Millions Super  Summit to vote for your favorite candidate in Dallas, Texas, October 23-25th.

It was a tough decision. Too many wonderful candidates to choose from. The audience will have a tough time at your event choosing just one of the 3 as the Coaching Entrepreneur of the Year. Can’t wait to meet all 3 in Dallas.

I agree – the audience will have a challenge before them in two weeks! Thanks Leesa!

Congratulations to all three winners! Wow, I am really impressed with these choices. I’ve looked at their sites and it is quite evident that they are not only coaches but each is indeed an Entrepreneur. Each of them are great models of what is possible.

Thanks Melody! That was the major point – to find coaches who are clearly using entrepreneurial tactics and applying business savvy to build their coaching businesses!
