Tipping the scales
How do you 'scale' a coaching business?
When a beginning coach is running out of time or has plenty of clients but still isn’t making much money it can be really tempting for them to look past the 1-on-1 work and fall into formats where they can serve more people. This is usually a mistake...
You don’t need to do group programs. You don’t need do events, or have a tribe. You don’t need to be known. You don’t need 1000 true fans, lead magnets, or info products. You don’t need to write a book.
Your business can be grown through intimacy and impact, alone.
It’s not that you can’t extend your business into those additional formats, but:
a) You don’t have to.
b) If you don’t have a solid foundation of intimacy and impact first, they won’t work.
Join me on Facebook Live next Tuesday and we’ll explore how growing a coaching business is different from most other businesses, what works vs what you’ve been told, and what might work best for you! Bring your questions or submit your questions beforehand in this event.

“Growth lies just outside your comfort zone.” There’s a lot of value in this maxim:It helps kick us out of stagnation and into action.It helps us question our habits, our playing small.It helps us pry our attention off of our past and realize that we can keep learning and growing. But… it also smuggles in an assumption that keeps you from truly flourishing. It gets you halfway there, while eroding your sense of aliveness along the way… Because the ‘comfort zone’ isn’t really about comfort!...
I feel like I’ve been saying goodbye to a lot of things in my life recently, to people and pets and paths not taken. There’s a nostalgia that comes with it, a tender vulnerability and grieving of each little change. Not painful but poignant, beautiful. “I don’t know why I’m crying” is something I often hear from clients when they’ve had a life-changing insight. Their life and their perspective has up-leveled, but they’re confused by the tears as if they were unhappy about getting what they...
What does it really mean to ‘trust your intuition’, and is it actually a good idea? Opinions abound: Following your intuition. But don’t jump to conclusions without thinking things through. But don’t obscure your inner knowing by going into your head. Don’t live on autopilot, but also don’t live in your head. Entire books have been written about why going with your gut is a good idea, and entire books have been written about why going with your gut is a bad idea. What’s missing is a...
