“You don’t have a business” he said to me 😡
The “he” in question being my coach 😬 when we started working together over a year ago.
I balked… Excuse me? I’m coaching women, I’m strategizing, I’m helping change business trajectories!
He said, “That’s great! But… Do you have any other offers? Or are you just selling your brain / your time? YOU own those things, you can’t fully give them to someone else. That’s not sustainable, and it’s not what you want for your forever business.”
I nodded.. slowly.. mulling over his words, debating a sassy retort.
But ultimately, he was VERY right about one thing – It wasn’t sustainable.
Last summer, I would talk & talk & talk ALL DAY on coaching calls. I would sit & sit & sit in the same spot.
You know the #1 thing I was ready to change when I left corporate? Endless meetings & being stuck in the same place all day ^ whoops.
By the time the evening rolled around I was silent (trying to rest my sore throat), chugging tea, warm compress tucked into a scarf resting on my throat. Was I a Business Coach, or Opera Singer preparing for her big night? #dramaticbuttrue
Morale of the story = I created courses, digital products, profitable group programs, referral & affiliate relationships, paid advertising & speaking opportunities.
I diversified the *ish out of my income, and went from solely 1:1 ➡️ 1:many.
I’m writing this to you while sitting in a local cafe. I’m about to pack up and have breakfast with my fiance prior to *only* 2 hours of calls. Then meet my girlfriends downtown for dinner & game night.
If you are…
• Hesitant about putting your knowledge into a dig product
• Worried you can’t deliver the same results
• Nervous to ask for $ for your media opps / referrals
• Thinking you need to earn your stripes before you diversify
Guess what… With that waiting game, the ONLY person you’re doing a disservice to is you.
