As you work on mapping out and implementing your plans for 2023, I'd like to remind you of a simple but significant truth: You don't have to do everything yourself. Yes, there are some parts of your work that only you can do. There are pieces of wisdom and expertise that only you can share, relationships you need to be personally involved in building, and client-attracting displays of your personality that only you can make. But if any of the following is true for you, it might not be wise to try to do every part of every task. ... Read More

Don’t you just love those times when technical difficulties add an extra EIGHT hours of work to your week? 😅 😫 😭 That’s what happened to me recently. Here’s how I handled the unexpected and unwanted interruption: 1. I used my frustration as fuel. I was fed up. I was PISSED. I didn’t even feel the urge to take a break until I got this problem out of my hair – the first day the problem showed up, I wound up working until around 11:00 p.m. Instead of prematurely forcing myself to feel positive about...

As an entrepreneur, one of the challenges I face – and one of the benefits I enjoy – is that I’m multi-passionate. I love helping people convey their wisdom in a way their clients can easily understand, implement, and get value from – in formats ranging from emails and articles to coaching or training courses. I also love to create art and write fiction stories, especially platonic love stories. Unfortunately, while some passions can be combined into a single offer, and some fields of work require similar skills (for... Read More

I was recently speaking with a person who spent a lot of time at networking events, but sometimes struggled to connect with people because he felt bad about talking about his offer. Guilt around sales is an obstacle many entrepreneurs, including coaches, struggle with. Even if we know, on an intellectual level, that our offer is good, so many of us have been conditioned to feel like we're doing something rude or morally wrong by offering our service and asking to be paid. This can hold us back from starting conversations, and even if... Read More

Today, I’d like to talk about a mistake some coaches make while creating their offers. This one error can create a load of extra work for you, and can actually scare your clients off of buying your product. That mistake is: overcomplicating things . This is an especially easy trap to fall into if you aren’t confident in your value and the value of your teaching. If you aren’t sure that your coaching is good enough, you might find yourself padding your offer with bonus after bonus (without doing it strategically!) or adding... Read More

It can be so tempting to believe that making That One Big Decision is going to change your business and life. You’re going to create that coaching program, or sign up for a course, or contact 10 potential clients every day, and everything will improve. So you make that decision… but if your choice to change stops there, your life will stay the same. Why? Because for that choice to have any effect, it has to be followed by countless others. - You have to choose to take the steps required to create that coaching... Read More

Today, I want to get really raw with you. I’ll admit, it’s something I don’t do as often as I probably should. But 2021 upended my expectations of my outcomes and myself, and I think it’s time I shared that experience and the lessons that came with it. You see, there was a time when I could pop out a training course in one month or less. Hence the name of my latest offer, “1 Month Program Builder”. So naturally, when I decided to turn my knowledge of program creation into an audio, video, book and transcript course, I... Read More

Happy New Year! I hope you're having an amazing start to 2022. As you create, flesh out, or implement your plans for the coming year, one important thing to consider is how you're going to handle situations where your clients are shopping around, or where they've been burned before and they aren't sure how they can tell that you're the real deal. Some people try to steer potential clients away from other coaches in their field by harping on their competitors' bad points, or by trying to claim that they're the only ones getting real...

When you look at all the other coaches in your field, it can be easy to feel like you don't have what it takes to stand out and get clients. There are so many experts for your clients to choose from, and some of them probably have bigger followings, fancier graphics, and more experience than you. So why SHOULD the clients who need the results you and these other coaches offer choose you over them? In this video, I provide some specific, practical questions you can use to identify your unique strengths, so you can discover - and show your... Read More

Dear Badass, Beautiful Coach... Have you ever had a time when you told your clients about your amazing system or strategy that you KNEW would change their lives... only for them to respond with disinterest or confusion? And do you ever worry that you might not be ENOUGH of an expert, or wonder if your well of knowledge is deep enough to be worth the price you want to charge? In this video, I describe a deceptively simple, yet important truth that many coaches forget, and I explain how forgetting it causes them to confuse their clients,... Read More
