When I talk to Latinas about starting a coaching business, lack of time is one of the common reasons that hold them back from taking action. And I can relate to that because as first-generation daughters of immigrants, we hold on our shoulders this invisible workload of translating documents, booking and attending doctor's appointments, filing taxes, holding space for our family, emotionally supporting them, and the list goes on. We are being pulled in so many directions, so we feel like we have no spare time on our hands. But the truth is that often we use time as a cop-out in our culture.

That's why in this podcast episode, I share with you my experience of starting a coaching business while being in grad school and having a full-time job, how I recognized that I was using time as a coping mechanism, and how you can start your coaching business in less than just five hours a week regardless of how busy you are. Lista? Let's tune in!

• Using time as a cop-out
• Breakdown of my schedule when I was in grad school and had a full-time job
• How I started my coaching business in less than 5 hours a week

I would be lying to you if I said that I was super confident in my decision to start a coaching business and that I was ready to tell everyone about it. Because I DEFINITELY was not. A lot of fears came up for me and the comments that I received from my loved ones made me doubt my decision of becoming a coach.

When you are in the early stages of building your business, you are in a very vulnerable space. You might not want to tell your family, friends, or partner because you are afraid of their reactions. And I want you to know that you are not alone. It's very common for new coaches to feel that way. That's why today's episode is all about facing the fears that will come up for you as you start building your coaching business or when you're in the early stages of your business. Lista? Let's tune in!

In this episode, I chat about:

• Common comments that I received as I started building my personal brand online and my coaching business
• Building your self-belief muscles
• Feeling hesitant about sharing your decision of starting a coaching business with your loved ones
• How to deal with a lack of support from your family

And I know you are probably thinking "Sure, Liz" while sarcastically rolling your eyes. But hopefully, by the end of this episode, I will shift your perspective and strengthen your self-concept.
