Serendipitous Rebel Podcast: Business Coaching for Women Entrepreneurs

Kicking off our Purposeful Pivoting Interview series, Krystal is putting the spotlight on Wendy, as our first interviewee. In this episode we ask Wendy about her Pivoting Journey, what she learned, how she made the decision. Krystal interviews Wendy Guth on the path that led her from travel agent to business coach.

Wendy started her journey in entrepreneurship after she was laid off in 2016. She started a business as a travel advisor, and was well on her way when the pandemic forced her to make a pivot in 2020. From there she made the decision to become a certified business coach, and she hasn't looked back. Listen to todays episode to learn more about Wendy and her path to success.

The road to success in entrepreneurship is windy. It is our intention with this series to pull back the curtain on some of the ups and downs that entrepreneurs face and normalize the discussion around pivoting and change in your entrepreneurial journey.

There are so many different things you have to deal with as an entrepreneur. When you are a female entrepreneur the expectations seem to feel a little higher.

The need to explain ourselves and justify past behaviors and mistakes feels higher for women than it does for men.

So what started this conversation? A Coach we greatly admire is being dragged through the mud because of a past mistake or misstep in their 20's. People in the online industry are challenging their credibility and expertise based on information that is more than 20 years old.

Do we have the ability to grow? Do we have the ability to change? How do you decide who to work with? What factors matter? That's what we wanted to dig into during this episode.

What is the difference between a business coach and a therapist and when should you draw the line?

In other words, what are the red flags in your coaching relationship that you should look at?

Today we dig into the important differences between the two.

Wait, wait, wait. Hear us out. 

We KNOW they often get a bad rap and can be scary, BUT ....

Partnerships are really amazing opportunities that allow you to play to your strengths instead of having to focus on your weaknesses.

Have you ever thought about the role that your fur baby plays in your life as an entrepreneur?

Whether it's a puppy running through the house like a toddler without a diaper, or a cat that simply must lay right on top of the computer while you're trying to work, our pets are there with us as our constant companions as we work every day in this virtual world.

Our pets are also a great way to connect with others. They're so much a part of our family and what's more relatable than swapping stories about your snoring dog or how you came up with your pet's name?

We love sharing pet photos and pet stories so come on over to our Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/rebelonthego) to introduce yourself and drop a picture of your fur baby.

Is there a difference between coaching and consulting?

YES - and it's a big one. In this episode we dig into the key differences between the two.

Have you noticed the latest phenomenon happening in the online space these days? 

A lot of people in the online space are using the words coach and consultant interchangeably…. And we’re just gonna come right out and say it.

We. Don't. Like. It. 

Why? Mostly because it’s misleading and disingenuous.

So what's the difference between a consultant and a coach? And which one do I really need?

We get this question a lot so we recorded a short episode to clear up some common misconceptions.

This week on our podcast we're talking about the difference between coaches and consultants and why it makes a big difference to you. 

If you're thinking about hiring a coach or consultant in your personal life or your business, we have some great tips that will help you make a more informed decision on hiring the right person for you.

In part 2 to last week's episode, Wendy and Krystal dive in to the similarities and parallels of training for a marathon and of starting a business.

We believe that these are tips and tactics that entrepreneurs can use at any time, not just now. It's about being laser-focused and intentional about your business and your mission and not letting the external noise of economics steer your ship.
