Listen, I love money. I welcome it. I appreciate it.

I celebrate when my clients receive it in exchange for their guidance.

And I celebrate when I receive it in exchange for mine. An overflow of money makes a lot of things easier.

But let’s be honest.

It’s just one type of win. It feels like lately, in the coaching space, the focus is heavily on wins like:  

🥳  My client generated $12K after just two weeks in the program

✅ Meditating for longer than 7.34 seconds

✅ Not having a full freak-out when an $8K client backed out at the last minute Can we stop dismissing all that?

These are all huge accomplishments. And their indirect result is often the one you’re clinging to: a rising bank account balance. Because with more clarity comes more confidence. With more confidence comes more aligned action. With more aligned acti
