  • 180. 4 Steps How to Start an Online Coaching Business

    Have you thought about becoming a coach but thought, "there's already too many coaches out there"?

    This belief stops many people from starting an online coaching business.

    Here’s the thing. There is no one else out there in the world who has had the same life experiences, perspectives, and life lessons you have had.

    Read that again. 

    No one else can offer the same guidance the way you can, because they have not lived the way you have.

    And there are people out there who only YOU are meant to help and serve at this moment in their journey.

    When you understand this, you’ll know how to overcome it quickly the next time that pesky self-doubt comes up about your ability to start an online coaching business.

    In this episode, I’m going to show you how to move past fears getting in the way of starting a coaching business for good so you can move forward.

    You’ll also learn:

    • How to get past the common misbelief that you need a certification, degree, or other permission from others to become a coach 

    • How to figure out what topic you are meant to coach people on

    • What to do when you don't know how to even start in coaching

    • How to respond to doubts and fears that get in the way

    • 179. 5 Steps to Achieving Financial Freedom

      There does not need to be any secret to financial freedom.

      But why do people make achieving financial freedom sound like such a mystery?

      It's because we are never taught the foundations of personal finance and wealth building in school or society.

      Here’s the thing. While financial freedom means something different for everyone, there are certain building blocks that are helpful for all to learn when building their own unique path to get there.

      In Ep. 179: 5 Steps to Achieving Financial Freedom, I’m going to show you 5 steps how to start to achieve financial freedom so you can move past the mystery of how to do so and start taking action to get there.

    • 178. How to Fill Your Own Cup So You Can Fill the Cup for Others

      When your cup is empty, it's impossible to keep filling the cup for others.

      But how can we fill our own cup when we have sooo many responsibilities to take care of others, from aging parents to young children to siblings to colleagues and clients who depend on us?

      It's about learning to prioritize yourself first.

      I know, when I first heard this concept, I thought, but "that's so selfish!"

      A recovering people pleaser, it felt really uncomfortable to even prioritize myself at all. Nevermind put myself first.

      Here’s the thing.

      If you don't fill your cup first, you won't be able to keep filling the cup for others. At some point, you'll run out. There will be nothing left to give.

      Read that again. 

      But when you understand how taking time to fill your own cup allows you to actually be in a position to serve others more, you’ll know how to turn things back around quickly the next time you're feeling depleted and burnt out from constantly giving and giving.

      In this episode I’m going to show you how to be there for others by taking care of your own finances, business, and self care. You’ll also learn:

      • How to start planning for both your own personal finances and the financial needs for family members who rely on you

      • The two key ingredients how to fill your own cup in business - to build a sustainable business foundation - so you can show up and focus on what it's really all about - people and purpose

      • How much to weigh your own self care as well

      • Listen to Ep. 178: How to Fill Your Own Cup So You Can Fill the Cup for Others if you're ready to stop putting yourself last (or not even on the list...) so you can REALLY be there for those who need you.

      • 177. How to 10x Your Goals Mid-Year Without Burning Out

        Did you know you can 10x your goals for the year through even the smallest tweaks?


        And even by scrapping some of your plans you had from the beginning of the year?


        In this episode, I guide you through the process of checking in with yourself on how things are going so far the first half of this year by sharing some of my own story and process.


        By re-evaluating what’s working and not working, you can give yourself an opportunity to be real with yourself about what changes you can make to propel your growth forward for the second half of the year.


        Sometimes it's the smallest shifts and tweaks that can make all the difference.


        As we are about half way through the year, join me to check in on how any goals you set in the beginning of the year have been going and how to make changes accordingly.


        I discuss some lessons in how I have been able to continue to grow during the first half of 2023, despite facing challenges.


        Some key takeaways we will get into in the show:


        *How to be less hard on yourself and change the framing from feeling failure/shame/pressure/guilt for not meeting certain goals


        *How to give yourself more freedom and flexibility to allow your goals to change and evolve organically.


        *How to re-assess your goals given you are a different person than you were in the beginning of 2023. It’s ok for goals to change! Goals you anticipated in the beginning of the year may no longer apply or no longer feel good.


        *How to allow room for spaciousness, that’s where expansion you might not have been able to even imagine when previously goal-setting happens (I dive deeper on this in the show)


        What shifts and tweaks do you plan to make for the rest of 2023? DM me on IG @adinaappelbaum or @immigrant.finance -- I would love to hear!!

      • 175. How to Build Systems in Your Business with Sofia Scott

        Systems are powerful because they allow you to free up time and energy to focus on your most creative and important work that excites you.


        By automating repetitive, mundane tasks that suck up so much time, you can streamline tasks that get you down and become an energy suck.


        Originally from Argentina, guest speaker and systems expert Sofia Scott tells her story of moving to the U.S. when she was 5 years old and going on to build a wide-ranging career across international development and aid, business development, project management, business analysis, and most recently, private sector technology program management for large companies like Microsoft.


        Sofia gives highly valuable tips and strategies on how to start building systems when you are just starting a business. In this episode, learn:

        -How to start thinking about building processes and systems in your business step by step

        -How to identify tasks to automate and reduce duplicative steps

        -Strategies to develop the same way to get the same result each time for recurring actions in your business, instead of having to figure out different ways each time

      • 174. How Pluto in Aquarius Impacts Your Finances, Business, and Purpose

        Have you been feeling stuck, with a burning desire to make a larger impact but not sure how to channel it most effectively?


        What's causing that?


        Turns out you're not alone - many people are feeling this deep question brewing. Like something is missing. That there is a greater purpose calling.


        In this episode, I discuss how I similarly felt deep frustration, knowing I had so much more in me to create and serve others with. (And how, ultimately, this moved me toward creating Immigrant Finance.)


        Listen to learn about larger astrological transformations happening for the next nearly 20 years as Pluto has entered Aquarius, which will define our generation, and what they mean for you in terms of your finances, business endeavors, and purpose.


        When you understand the context of how these shifts are happening, you’ll have more insight into whatever frustrations may be coming up for you in this area and what direction they might be moving you toward, for the better.


        In this episode I’m going to show you how some of the astrology in the skies above helps shed light on why many of us have been feeling these struggles so we can each move into a space more oriented toward focusing on the betterment of the world.

      • 173. Florida's New Anti-Immigrant Law SB1718

        Florida recently passed a new anti-immigrant law SB 1718, which is cruel, discriminatory, racist, and MUST be stopped.
        This hateful legislation is anti-family, anti-health, and anti-safety, and unfairly targets undocumented Floridians and every sector of society that connects with them, including Florida hospitals, businesses, houses of worship, and schools.
        In this episode, listen to an overview of the new law and what you can do to fight back.


        WHAT YOU CAN DO:


        1. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS - free resources on immigrants’ rights:


        *ILRC Red Cards - https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards
        *ACLU We Have Rights guides - https://www.aclu.org/issues/immigrants-rights/ice-and-border-patrol-abuses/we-have-rights
        *How to get an ITIN: https://immigrantfinance.com/itin


        2. SUPPORT FLORIDA IMMIGRANTS’ RIGHTS GROUPS on the frontlines such as the ACLU of Florida, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Americans for Immigrant Justice, Latino Justice, the Orlando Center for Justice, etc.


        3. Urge everyone you know who is eligible to apply to naturalize and register to vote so we can keep DeSantis out of the white house. Find immigration legal services here: https://www.immigrationadvocates.org/nonprofit/legaldirectory/search?state
