You're meant to coach

Hey, Coach.

I see you there, showing up, day in and day out. Passionate about your work. Leaning into living the dream. Feeling the struggle that is the gap between knowing what you’re here to do and actually getting to do it!

You want to coach more, you want to help more, you're well trained, you’re ready, you did the work to get here and you’ve loved working with the clients you’ve already served.

Can you just help more people already?

I feeeeeeel you!

Those first realizations that you’re in business come quickly. Too quickly. Stealing that early excitement that you’re a coach before you’re ready to give it up. Can’t we just live in the transformation forever? I know, it feels so good. The ah-ha’s we have, the peer coaching sessions that feel like LIFE, the free coaching sessions we give to anyone who will sit still long enough so they can feel it too.

We were right.

WE. ARE. COACHES. It’s a beautiful thing.

It's also hard!

Yep, I said it. And no, that’s not a mindset issue. It’s the truth.

If it were easy you’d already have it dialed and every coach who ever wanted to be in business would have the business they want. But they don’t. It’s work. Real work. Confronting work. Gorgeous life-altering work. But work!?And yes, even when we love it it still requires effort. It’s real.?AND, you can do it if you’re up to it. AND, you can have a business that feels good to you, that matches your energy, your dream, your passion... You can have that. It can work for you.

The problem is there are so many solutions out there - in your feed, in your inbox, in your face - that we get lost!

It got really loud, really busy, frantic even. You wanted it really badly so you went after it really hard. You believed people when they told you what you needed because you wanted it. That makes sense!?Nothing went wrong - it was always going to happen this way. In the absence of knowing, we are open to anything - and “anything” is always happy to come on in!

The problem with “anything” is that it doesn’t always pertain to you. It doesn’t get what you’re here for, what you actually need, how you want to feel, and how you want it to look. It just knows how to be what it is.

So the business continues. The inbox gets full of ideas and things to do someday that become weapons against you today. You fill up on great ideas, get inspired by amazing people, learn wonderful tactics that could be great and you start to feel a whole new void.

You're full.

You're out of space.

You've lost one of the things that brought you here in the first place. Freedom of time, action, and creativity.

It's been replaced by lots of clutter. Mind clutter, calendar clutter, inbox clutter, decision clutter...?STUFF. Everywhere. All the time. (And not bad stuff, just not what you need right now stuff!)You may feel it closing in. You may want to burn those 14 journals full of notes from webinars full of great ideas you don’t need right now - but the fear that you might someday need them has its grip on you.

Why is that?

Because you aren’t sure what you’re doing here anymore and it feels something adjacent to terrifying.

But we love this. Don’t we?

We just want to coach. That’s still true. But where’d it go?

You wonder if you can still have what you want without having to hit 7 figures, scale, hire a social media manager, have a perfect webinar, be one funnel away, or… or… or…

When you don’t know where you’re going and why - EVERY option looks good and you end up swimming in to-do’s that are great, but not suited to you.

That’s where we can lose you. And that is what feels scary to me.

I don’t want to lose you because the noise got too loud and took you out of the game.

I don’t want to lose you because your best intentions with business have taken you so far out of coaching that we never get you back in the game with us.

I don’t want to lose you because you heard about the process for selling information products shouted at you so many times you thought it was the answer…When at the end of the day you came to coach.

So much of what’s out there doesn’t matter to you, and it’s taking you out.?That is hard. That is really hard.

I want you here, coaching! In it with me. Serving the people!

If you’re here to coach, you've gotta coach.

We can build businesses that serve the goal - that’s great, that’s the point.

The rest is noise.

Let’s get you back in the game you came to play.

Let’s coach,

Caryn
