I'm your host, Marilyn West.
I teach new coaches how to start their coaching business without overspending and overthinking.
If you found yourself here, it means you are ready to start your coaching business, or you are ready to monetizE your expertise.
.333333333Let's get staRted. 6 00:00:21,93.333333333 --> 00:00:22,823.333333333 Welcome back to another episode. 7 00:00:22,853.333333333 --> 00:00:29,363.332333333 So today we're going to be talking about losing momentum and focus inside of your coaching business. 8 00:00:29,663.333333333 --> 00:00:35,423.333333333 if you've been feeling stuck, unmotivated, or just off track, this episode is for you. 9 00:00:35,433.333333333 --> 00:00:36,303.333333333 let's dive in. 10 00:00:36,573.333333333 --> 00:00:50,93.333333333 first of all, I want to say one thing that I love about Team SEO is that even if I decide to take a break My business is still growing, and here's the truth, sometimes life be lifing. 11 00:00:50,193.333333333 --> 00:01:02,303.333333333 So when you are having those times when you're feeling stuck, unmotivated, or just off track, you also want to make sure that your business is still showing up for you, especially if you are not at a point. 12 00:01:02,628.333333333 --> 00:01:14,598.333333333 Where you have a VA or a team around you that can support you So if you're losing momentum of focus inside of your coaching business This episode is for you, honey. 13 00:01:14,648.333333333 --> 00:01:49,498.33333333 So it's easy to get caught up in excitement when we first start our coaching business, but over time Especially if you're not getting clients you will find yourself not motivated that fake motivation will start to fade but you have to ask yourself what change is it some type of external distraction which can be self doubt or burnout or are you consuming too much content? A lot of times I see coaches constantly buying courses, curriculums, trying to keep up with the latest trend believe it or not, that can burn you out. 14 00:01:49,718.33233333 --> 00:02:01,958.33233333 if you're in that season of where you are feeling that self doubt or burnout, it's time to regain your momentum by figuring out what is your roadblock before it turns into a dead end. 15 00:02:02,68.33233333 --> 00:02:09,108.33133333 Honestly, And I'm only speaking from experience because I had to take a hiatus from doing things real time. 16 00:02:09,108.33133333 --> 00:02:13,238.33133333 like showing up, doing lives, clubhouse, and other marketing strategies. 17 00:02:13,248.33133333 --> 00:02:21,668.33033333 But at the end of the day, my business kept growing and I kept getting clients because I had my podcast going and also SEO on the background. 18 00:02:21,838.33033333 --> 00:02:34,943.32983333 So when it comes to, are you losing momentum of focusing your business? You have to get to the root cause to figure out What is causing the distraction And believe it or not, lead it into the next thing I want to talk about. 19 00:02:35,313.32983333 --> 00:02:37,593.32983333 It's the power of accountability. 20 00:02:37,743.33083333 --> 00:02:46,543.33083333 So let me tell you guys, during the pandemic, everybody was home, right? And I joined a couple of communities that I probably shouldn't have joined. 21 00:02:46,943.32983333 --> 00:02:49,583.32983333 And I don't say that in a rude way. 22 00:02:49,633.33083333 --> 00:02:53,533.33083333 I just think you have to be around like minded individuals. 23 00:02:54,43.33083333 --> 00:03:02,343.33083333 And I joined a social media community and at that time, I was coming off of, working a nine to five. 24 00:03:02,723.33083333 --> 00:03:07,93.33183333 I always work in these high profile position and was in leadership position. 25 00:03:07,163.33183333 --> 00:03:10,153.33183333 So I wasn't really big into social media. 26 00:03:10,183.33183333 --> 00:03:11,813.33183333 That just wasn't my thing. 27 00:03:12,268.33183333 --> 00:03:17,758.33183333 So, I went into a social media community, and let me tell you. 28 00:03:17,798.43183333 --> 00:03:20,188.43183333 the coach was absolutely amazing. 29 00:03:20,578.43183333 --> 00:03:27,428.43183333 The mindset of the people who was all becoming influencers was not amazing. 30 00:03:27,768.43083333 --> 00:03:54,398.43233333 it's sad because, I'm Coming from a space where I'm all about community and to go into a community thinking I was going to get that community It wasn't there when you are building out your coaching business get into communities where people are actually becoming coaches Consultants and doing the same thing as you because that accountability won't seem like competition when you don't have any type of accountability. 31 00:03:54,858.43333333 --> 00:04:12,98.43333333 It's easy to slack off this is why I created my Community Space Almighty Network to do check ins, host different workshops because I know what it feels like to be building a business while working a nine to five and just get to the point and be like, screw it. 32 00:04:12,148.43333333 --> 00:04:17,928.43333333 No, I don't want to be that gal, right? when I was working my nine to five, I was thinking I am building this business. 33 00:04:17,988.43333333 --> 00:04:22,838.43333333 so when I financially retire, I can build a business around my lifestyle. 34 00:04:23,128.43333333 --> 00:04:27,688.43333333 So you have to find an accountability partner, a coach or a mentor. 35 00:04:27,928.43333333 --> 00:04:29,638.43233333 That's really going to keep you on track. 36 00:04:30,193.43333333 --> 00:04:48,403.43333333 And a lot of times on track is just reaching your goals those quick little milestones that you set for yourself The next thing you want to talk about is where is your focus If you are finding yourself losing momentum, where is your focus? This week I started using Dubsado, tracker. 37 00:04:48,638.43333333 --> 00:05:01,68.43333333 So I can start tracking my time when I sit down at my desk and start a task because I wanted to see where's my focus? I wanted to see where my time was going because where you focus is where your time is going to go. 38 00:05:01,328.43233333 --> 00:05:22,623.43133333 are you focusing on what's in your control? Or caught up in things that drain your energy? Or time waster, meaning scrolling on social media, watching YouTube, you know, when you find yourself losing focus in your business, you have to shift your mindset back to prioritize progress over perfection. 39 00:05:23,143.43133333 --> 00:05:25,883.43133333 this is something that I'm dealing with right now. 40 00:05:26,508.43133333 --> 00:05:30,388.43133333 I'm in the middle of moving my community over from Circle to Mighty Network. 41 00:05:30,438.43133333 --> 00:05:36,188.43133333 believe it or not, when I look at the things that I had in Circle now, I cringe. 42 00:05:36,238.43133333 --> 00:05:39,158.43133333 I'm like, I'm not moving that over to Mighty Network. 43 00:05:39,658.43133333 --> 00:05:41,113.33133333 But, here's the thing. 44 00:05:41,363.43133333 --> 00:05:43,653.43133333 I allowed myself to take messy action. 45 00:05:43,923.43133333 --> 00:05:47,93.43133333 And that season when I had my circle, it felt right. 46 00:05:47,303.43033333 --> 00:06:31,923.43033333 But now in Mighty Network, and I have grown a little bit, mature a little bit, I'm like, you know what? Not moving that over I feel like I'm growing from it because when I look at the core Values of my mighty network community today I'm even thinking how can I change my curriculum Like when I first started coaching I believed that I needed to have between 10 to 15 modules last year I realized that was information overload and I cut back to only three to four because if I can't give you that clarity you need in that subject in three to four videos, I'm wasting your time, you have to be able to shift your mindset from progress overperfection, and that will allow you to take messy action. 47 00:06:32,383.43033333 --> 00:06:38,903.43033333 So, a simple trick that you can do, you can write down your top three priorities each day and stay committed to those three. 48 00:06:39,433.42933333 --> 00:06:49,963.43033333 Because I am so far behind in my business, I only have three things on my calendar to do every day, however, I am a week behind. 49 00:06:50,428.43033333 --> 00:07:00,268.43033333 So therefore, I'm always playing catch up and I'll probably be playing catch up all the way up until mid March Unless I don't come up with any big audacious goals. 50 00:07:00,318.43033333 --> 00:07:15,878.43033333 Well, you know what? I'm gonna be playing catch up because if you are a part of coaching with confidence I have decided to create a podcast curriculum this is gonna take me probably about two to three weeks to record all the content, make it make sense. 51 00:07:16,278.43033333 --> 00:07:22,468.43033333 And I'm not in a rush So, just write down your top three priorities each day and try and stay committed to that. 52 00:07:23,168.43033333 --> 00:07:28,18.43033333 All right, the next thing I wanna talk about is community. 53 00:07:28,118.43033333 --> 00:07:42,938.43033333 if you're finding yourself in a place where you just feel like you are losing your focus and your momentum, start surrounding yourself with like-minded people, that really gonna rete your passion for what you love to do. 54 00:07:42,938.43033333 --> 00:07:46,538.43033333 The right community will provide you with the support. 55 00:07:47,368.43033333 --> 00:07:53,938.43033333 So if you're feeling alone in your journey right now, listen, it's time to find a space where you can feel empowered. 56 00:07:54,338.43033333 --> 00:08:01,248.43033333 And I would love for you to come and join the Sustainable Coaching Space Almighty Network. 57 00:08:01,438.43033333 --> 00:08:03,288.43033333 So you can have that accountability. 58 00:08:03,728.43033333 --> 00:08:28,608.42833333 All right, you guys the next workshop kicking off inside the mighty network community It's going to be some tech when it comes to how to onboard, offboard clients and things that you need to have inside of your SOP So if you want to learn more how to implement tech inside of your business, make sure you scroll down in and show notes, Join a community space so you can be a part of the next workshop. 59 00:08:29,128.42833333 --> 00:08:38,58.42833333 If you've been feeling stuck, know that you have the power to reset, refocus, and re ignite your momentum at any given time. 60 00:08:38,88.42833333 --> 00:08:51,120.50316327 You just need to surround yourself with community, and positive belief, If this episode resonated with you, make sure you share it until next time my friend Thank you for listening to sustainable co-chair podcast. 61 00:08:51,210.50316327 --> 00:08:55,140.50316327 I hope it gave you the clarity and confidence to start your coating business. 62 00:08:55,440.50316327 --> 00:08:57,510.50316327 This is just not another podcast. 63 00:08:57,540.50316327 --> 00:08:59,580.50316327 Visit sustainable coaching.com 64 00:08:59,730.50316327 --> 00:09:02,100.50316327 to learn more about coaching with confidence. 65 00:09:02,400.50316327 --> 00:09:14,670.50316327 And culture with confidence, you will gain the clarity and confidence to launch your coaching business and how to attract clients by dominating the search engine, because we are the solution to someone's problem. 66 00:09:15,0.50316327 --> 00:09:15,810.50316327 As a coach.
