I had a recent stomach-dropping experience because suddenly I saw competition EVERYWHERE.
I know this happens to Coaches and experts every single day, so here’s a 90-second tip to help you stay motivated and keep you moving!
Staying Energized through the Tough Times
Lots of changes are happening. I heavily invested in my business this year. A friend is having surgery. I feel brittle and teary.
I don’t usually send out the really raw stuff until I’ve resolved it into a tidy little story with a moral that we can all learn from.
Today, not so much.
I did have an insight though. It’s not resolving my crankiness, but it did give me some clarity that you might also find helpful.
Did I just make it into a tidy story with a moral again? (at least it got me to smile… 😊)

Join us on July 12th at 10:00amPacific
Workshop will be recorded if you cannot attend live.
Ready for an unfiltered, behind-the scenes look at how I discovered the VERY expensive gaps in my business, and how mapping the client journey is improving my clarity & results, and moving me towards cutting my work hours in half.
In this workshop, you’ll discover the power of mapping your clients’ journeys to attract more clients, retain them longer, and create tailored programs your ideal clients can’t resist.
Join us July 12th at 10am Pacific for an intensive one-hour interactive session where you’ll explore client journey mapping with real-life examples and practical tools to uncover opportunities that you’ve been missing!
During this workshop you will gain a deep understanding of the client journey’s impact on your business so you can:
- Attract more new clients by aligning marketing efforts with client needs.
- Identify referral partners to expand your network and tap into new client opportunities.
- Improve client retention so you can earn more income with less effort
- Stop creating programs that no one enrolls in by focusing on clients’ true desires.
Because this is the first time I’m sharing this content, I’m making it incredibly accessible and affordable – just $20. But once I refine and perfect the workshop, you can expect the price to go up to $200 or more. So if you’re okay with my PowerPoint transitions not being flawless, this is an incredible deal. 😊

I Was Over-giving And Under-grateful (ugh)
To be completely transparent, I haven’t been super-positive lately. Yesterday I finally uncovered the internal thought patterns and the external habits that were creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of scarcity.
Coaching Week: Lack confidence? Grow Anyway! (Outside-in Approach)
If you struggle with confidence and are spinning your wheels in your business, try this unconventional approach to getting unstuck!
The majority of my clients are coaches, so I know (and embrace!) that coaching facilitates transformation from the inside out, based on the knowledge of the client, not the coach.
A few years ago, however, it occurred to me that I work exactly the opposite, with an outside-in approach.
Please note: I am not a coach. I am a teacher and trainer.
When I work with coaches and other business owners, there is a LOT going on all at once. They want to grow their business, they need to learn marketing and entrepreneurial skills, they’re bombarded by expert advice and are often exhausted and overworking.
On top of it all – no matter how successful they were in a previous career – they struggle with a crisis of confidence.
But time after time, client after client, I’ve found the most effective approach to escape this spin-cycle is to create an action plan that consists of simple action steps that leverage your strengths and are very specific.
SUPER SPECIFIC, as in: on Tuesday, text your former co-worker Kim with the following, “Hi Kim! I want to catch up… can we get a coffee (virtual is ok) sometime soon?”
When you’re this specific, there’s no wiggle room to overthink. You just get into action, implementing the pre-determined steps.
Here comes the bit that will blow your mind…
When you do this, client generation becomes so simple, so authentic, so bite-sized and manageable that your confidence (or lack thereof) is no longer running the show.
You simply take the action steps that lead to results and your confidence catches up to you!

How You’re (unintentionally) Limiting Your Impact
“I’m a coach because I want to make a positive impact.”
I’ve heard this countless times and it always makes me smile. Probably because impact is one of my top core values, too!
The sneaky thing I notice is that coaches unintentionally limit their impact in the world.
Because while coaches see the difference they make when working directly with clients, marketing & sales are often considered in conflict with the value of impact.
I would argue that promoting your business is THE most courageous act of service, because you’re putting yourself out there, being vulnerable and risking rejection.
So don’t limit your impact to your coaching sessions with clients. And please stop thinking that marketing and sales are the opposite of impact.
Instead expand your understanding of impact to include marketing and sales.
Then, celebrate yourself for your courage every time you put yourself out there in the world, risking rejection, unapologetically committing to the biggest impact possible.
One last note…
The truth is, even when you expand your understanding of impact to embrace marketing and sales, there’s a lot of noise and confusion out there. If you’re drowning in advice from experts, take this 3-minute quiz so you can get focused and kickstart your efforts!
