Business Skill New Coaches Miss

If you’re a coach who’s navigating those first crucial years in business, you do not want to miss this episode. Tammy Johnston is THE Hold Your Hand and Kick Your Ass Business Coach, and she’s spent over 20 years helping new entrepreneurs build sustainable, successful businesses. She’s not here to sell you a magic bullet—because it doesn’t exist—but she is here to make sure you’ve got the foundational skills to survive and thrive. In this conversation, Tammy lays it all out: why so many new business owners struggle, what habits and mindsets actually make the difference, and how to stop taking business advice from broke friends and family.

We also tackle one of the biggest traps new coaches fall into—focusing on the wrong things, like perfecting their logo instead of actually getting clients. Tammy shares hard-earned lessons on setting up systems, managing finances, and shifting from an employee mindset to a business owner mindset. Plus, she gets real about the courage it takes to run a business and how she made the leap herself. If you’re ready for a dose of practical, no-nonsense advice that will actually move your business forward, this is the episode for you.
