So, how's it really going? Coaching fulltime, part 2


Boy was I bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Week 3. ???


Ok, I’m being a bit melodramatic. Things aren’t that bad. Or even bad!


But there are definitely highs and lows.


The thing I’ve realized about creating your own business is that everything is put out by you.


And that’s a little scary.


There’s no company roadmap or bureaucracy to blame or hide behind.


It’s just you (or rather, me, myself and I).


I've noticed this creeping up in small ways, like checking for validation through likes on posts or even the weight of talking about coaching with friends. This is all par for the course but it's been a good thing to notice and think through.


Some things I found helpful & surprising:

  • goals aren’t always motivating. I’m going to be upfront with you. My goal was and is to make 6 figures in 6 months to prove I could do it. What I found was — Damn. As soon as I set this goal it was daunting and sucked the fun out of business-building. So! It’s still a target but it’s a flexible one. This target moves. ??
  • ok, LinkedIn, I see you ??. LI has quickly stolen my heart as my favorite platform. Hear me out! Don’t walk away! ????In just the past 2 weeks, I’ve gotten to meet interesting, incredible people from posting. Before you make another IG post, think about sharing here.

What has my heart a-flutter:


How you can help:

  • If you know someone who needs this, introduce me to them!
