I was a great coach, but I had ZERO clients.

The first time I decided to go “all in” on my business I spent several months putting a ton of effort into all the things I thought were important. I had a nice business card, a cute website with a blog I updated twice a week. My business Facebook page had 12 THOUSAND followers (something I was extremely proud of) and I went to so many networking events that my husband started to wonder if I was ever going to spend an evening at home. 

I also had ZERO clients. 

Not for lack of trying though! I was doing all the things that I was supposed to do,  but nothing worked.

I remember sitting in my car outside of a networking lunch trying to get myself together before going in. I was in the middle of one of those “I’m so frustrated I'm crying hysterically” moments. 

The thought of going into yet another meeting, standing up and awkwardly telling people what I do, then desperately making uncomfortable conversation to try to get clients before slinking out in defeat… It was all too much.

I left without going in and got a job the following week. 

I didn't realize it then, but while I was a talented coach, I was a terrible business owner. I was lacking skills that I didn't even realize I needed. 

I believed that If I was a good enough coach that word would magically spread and clients would just fall from the sky. 

Turns out, that's not how it works. 

But that's often how we talk about building businesses in the consulting and coaching space. 

In order to build a profitable and sustainable business, we have to think like business owners and we need to build the skill sets needed for solid business foundations. 

Something I now spend a significant amount of my coaching work helping woman to do in their own businesses. 

It’s my mission to make sure that there is no more crying in frustration outside of networking meetings. No more Instagram accounts lying dormant because you don't know what to post. 

No more mission driven coaches giving up on their dreams because nothing seems to work. 

Over the next 6 weeks I’m going to be teaching the foundational business building skills in a group setting for all the coaches and consultants that can’t seem to get their business off the ground. 

We start on Thursday Nov 9th, and I’d love for you to join us.
