Episode Title: 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Starting Your Coaching or Consulting Business
Episode Description:
Starting a coaching or consulting business can feel like jumping into the deep end without a life jacket—but you don’t have to make it harder than it needs to be. In this episode of The GenXpert Show, we’re breaking down the 5 most common mistakes new coaches and consultants make—and how to avoid them.
If you’ve ever thought you needed another certification, struggled to name your business, or wondered when to start charging, this episode is for you. I’ll share practical tips to help you get out of your own way and build a business that feels clear, focused, and profitable.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why you don’t need another certification to start helping clients.
How a clear business name builds instant trust with your audience.
Why trying to serve everyone ends up serving no one (and what to do instead).
The benefits of engaging customers early—even if your offer isn’t perfect yet.
How to set boundaries and stop giving away too much for free.
Action Step:
After you listen, take a moment to reflect: Are you falling into any of these traps? If so, what’s one action you can take today to get back on track?
