How To get Clients (Part 2)

This episode continues the conversation from last week about how to get clients — but this time, we focus on how to get them interested in what you offer. The fact is, most potential clients don’t care about your certification or your coaching process. What they care about is how you can help them solve their problems.
We’ll walk you through crafting your message so you can stop wasting time talking about the wrong things. I’ll help you figure out how to talk to potential clients in a way that resonates with their needs and motivates them to take action.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a few ideas of what to say and know exactly what to not say. Dialing in your messaging IS what will get you paid.

From Overwhelmed to Unstoppable: Overcome Analysis Paralysis

Are you ever overwhelmed by so many ideas - great ideas, but they get you stuck in analysis paralysis? Or, does that ever growing endless to-do list keep you avoiding action in your coaching business? 
Today I talk with Michelle Gruening (Manifestor Endotype™), a tough-love business coach who helps first-time entrepreneurs break through limiting beliefs and take action. Michelle shares why so many new coaches get stuck in idea overload—trying to do too much at once and underestimating the time it takes to build a sustainable business. She explains how to break out of the cycle and focus on the right next step, not all the steps. 
Plus, we dive into her approach to avoiding burnout by identifying and offloading the draining tasks in your business. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready for clarity, this episode is for you.

We dive into the first part of the solution — Where are my clients?

Making a Profit in Coaching: Why You Don’t Need Five Years

Financial Clarity for Coaches with ADHD
Running a coaching business is already enough of a mental load—so why is money management the thing that trips up so many coaches? In this episode, I am talking with Sherry Andrew (Manifestor Endotype) about how to finally feel in control of your finances—even if you have ADHD, hate spreadsheets, or feel like you never know where your money is going. She shares her personal journey from being fired after 17 years to becoming a financial coach for self-employed entrepreneurs with ADHD. We get into the biggest financial mistakes coaches make, why paying yourself first changes everything, and how to set up financial systems that actually work for your brain.
Coaches are some of the most over-marketed-to entrepreneurs. Change your title on social media to “Coach,” and suddenly everyone has a course or system you need to buy. But if you’re spending more than you’re making, you’re not running a business—you’re running a very expensive hobby. In this episode, we talk about how to create a profitable coaching business without over-investing in unnecessary tools, certifications, or marketing tactics that don’t work.
Profit isn’t something that happens after five years (that’s a myth!). Start paying yourself right NOW. 🔗 Guest Links: www.moneymindsetfc.com www.instagram.com/moneymindsetfc

Leaving a steady paycheck to start your own coaching business isn’t just a career shift—it’s a whole new way of thinking. In this episode, Wendy Herrmann (Contributor Endotype™) and I dive into what it really takes to move from employee to business owner without losing your mind in the process. She knows because she has done it successfully. 
Wendy and I first connected through the book "My Walk My Way," to which I organized and Wendy contributed to. Our professional relationship deepened when Wendy said yes to my Identity Aligned branding, utilizing the Endotype Formula. This collaboration helped Wendy refine her brand identity as an Explorer, aligning her business authentically with her personality and values, and providing her with the tools to move forward confidently in her entrepreneurial journey. 
In our fantastic conversation Wendy shares how she transitioned from a corporate role into consulting, coaching, and facilitation, why “personal growth is professional development,” and what she learned from experimenting, failing, and ultimately landing in the right place. Could patience be the skill you are missing as you develop your coaching business?
