Every morning during my journaling routine, I've noticed the phrase "I don't know" popping up repeatedly when I aim for new goals or projects. It strikes me as unhelpful and limiting. Drawing from my experience of creating a private podcast on a new platform, I want to challenge you to join me in eliminating "I don't know" from your vocabulary too and embracing a more resourceful mindset. By asking empowering questions and taking small steps, you can tap into your potential, discover your capabilities, and find abundant support along the way.

Highlights:

1. I emphasize the significance of thought downloads for understanding our mental barriers and resistance. The phrase "I don't know" tends to hold us back from progress and needs to be addressed.

2. Share my personal journey of creating a private podcast on an unfamiliar platform, I acknowledge the initial uncertainty. However, it became so much easier when I adopted a growth mindset and had faith that I could figure things out.

3. I explain how "I don't know" creates a dead end, limiting your creative thinking, and problem-solving.

4. Instead of saying "I don't know," ask empowering questions like "What do I know about this?" and seek input from others. These practices help you cultivate resourcefulness and take small but meaningful steps toward your goals.

5. I wholeheartedly encourage you to embrace this challenge and make it an experiment to eliminate the "I don't know" mindset. We've got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

• She Coaches Coaches Episode:002: Your Thoughts Are Key

We uncover the truth that people actually love to pay for it. We break down the four conditions that make someone want to invest in coaching, including the existence of dream clients, their desire for results, their willingness to take action, and their readiness to pay for the solution. By understanding these conditions, we realize that coaching is a natural process, just like buying groceries or seeking solutions to everyday problems, and it becomes easier to attract clients and help them achieve their goals.

Join me as I speak with Marc Mawhinney about showing up unapologetically and being true to yourself and your opinions in your messaging. So many new coaches, especially those coming out of corporate environments, tone down their message and their voice because they don’t want to ruffle any feathers. The result – they show up bland and boring and as just one more dull face in a sea of coaches.

His approach to using his real opinions is simple, when he uses his real voice as part of the message he is intentionally polarizing and draws even more of right-fit clients into his world.

There are four key pillars necessary for building a successful coaching business. The first pillar is creating an irresistible offer that provides a clear solution to your dream client's problem or goal. The second pillar is to create consistent and intentional content that builds trust and authority with your audience. The third pillar is lead generation, building an email list of potential clients through offering a lead magnet and nurturing those relationships. Finally, the fourth pillar is connecting and inviting, building relationships with people, and inviting them to work with you.

• Launching your business and signing your first clients is an important achievement, but creating a solid foundation is essential for building a thriving coaching practice.
• The four pillars essential to every thriving coaching business are: irresistible offer, content creation, lead generation, and connecting and inviting.
• An irresistible offer is a coaching package designed for your dream client that provides a solution to their problem or goal.
• Consistent and intentional content helps build trust and authority with your audience and can take the form of blog posts, social media content, podcast episodes, and videos.
• Lead generation involves building an email list of interested potential clients by offering a lead magnet and nurturing those relationships.
• Connecting and inviting involves building relationships with people and inviting them to work with you, whether through networking, social media, or your email list.
• Building a successful coaching business takes time, effort, and dedication, but with these four pillars in place, you can create a rock-solid foundation that supports you and saves you time and energy.
• When creating an irresistible offer, focus on the result you can provide for your dream clients, the length of time and delivery, and the price.
• When creating content, choose your favorite approach (written, audio, or video), plan what topics you will cover, and deliver consistently.
• When generating leads, sign up for an email service provider, create a lead magnet, and collect email addresses to communicate with potential clients and provide support and guidance.
• When connecting and inviting, build relationships with people and invite them to work with you, whether through networking, social media, or your email list.

The common myths that stop coaches from starting their coaching business or taking the next step to sign clients, launch their business, and make money and an impact. Listen to these practical tips and strategies for overcoming these hurdles and creating a successful coaching business.

• Waiting for fear to go away before taking action keeps you stuck. Fear is a companion on the journey, and the way to get over it is to take action, even one tiny step.
• Trying to figure everything out on your own is inefficient and yields a "crazy quilt" version of a coaching business. Working with a coach or mentor and creating true connections with people who can support you is crucial.
• Taking courses and pursuing certifications are important, but don't allow them to hold you back from starting. Remember who you are and leverage your skills, experience, and strengths.
• Following all kinds of experts and consuming information without creating anything can be a major distraction. Focus on creating your own content and IP and working on projects that will move your business forward.
• Coaches often worry that tech is too complicated, but the amount of tech knowledge you need to start a coaching business is probably less than you think. You don't need a fancy website or a big social media following to be a coach.
• Having a positive and growth mindset is crucial for overcoming common hurdles and creating a successful coaching business. Believing in yourself and your ability to learn and grow is key.
• Focusing on a specific niche or area of expertise can help you stand out and attract your ideal clients. Don't try to be everything to everyone.
• Creating genuine connections with people, including potential clients and peers in the industry, can help you grow your coaching business and build a supportive community.
• Perfectionism can hold you back and prevent you from taking action. Embrace imperfection and focus on progress, not perfection.
• Consistency is key when it comes to building a successful coaching business. Taking small and consistent action steps, even when you don't feel like it, can help you make progress and achieve your goals.

Every new coach needs to know how to do a discovery call and why it's important for new coaches to do as many as possible. We break down the three phases of a discovery call and share tips for preparing before, during, and after the call. Candy recommends a coaching exercise called The Wheel of Life and provides a downloadable guide for listeners.

• A discovery call is a conversation with a potential client to see if you're a match for coaching together.
• It's important for new coaches to do as many discovery calls as possible to sign clients and start making money.
• The three phases of a discovery call are before, during, and after the call.
• Before the call, be welcoming and clear about what to expect. Prepare yourself, get centered, and remove distractions.
• During the call, be present and follow a process.  I recommend doing The Wheel of Life coaching exercise to help clients gain a new perspective on their life.
• The Wheel of Life is a one-page exercise with a large circle divided into 8 equal sections, each representing a specific area of a person's life.
• The sections are named health, career/education, finances, relationships, personal growth, fun/recreation, physical environment, and spiritual well-being.
• During the exercise, clients rate their level of satisfaction in each area on a scale from 1 to 10 and connect the dots to see where they're at in life.
• After the call, follow up with the potential client and thank them for their time. Offer them a next step, whether it's a coaching package or another call to answer any questions they may have.
• To prepare for discovery calls, listen to episode 141 for information on creating a pilot coaching package. She also offers extra help to those who need it, which can be found in the episode notes.

Learn 5 steps coaches can take to sign their first clients. From committing to focusing solely on client acquisition to creating an irresistible coaching package and setting up essential tools, Candy provides actionable tips and advice to help coaches attract and convert potential clients.

• The top concern of many coaches is how to sign clients, and in this episode, we address this question head-on.
• The first step to signing clients is to decide and focus on client acquisition by committing to only doing things that will help attract clients.
• Coaches need to have a compelling offer that goes beyond a one-off coaching session, and instead, they should create a coaching package that offers a result or solution to potential clients' challenges.
• It's important to name the coaching package with a clear and uncomplicated name and set a price for the package.
• To make it easy for potential clients to schedule a session, coaches should set up an online scheduler like Calendly or Acuity Scheduling and choose their availability for coaching sessions.
• Coaches should create three appointment types, including a coffee chat, a coaching experience, and a client coaching call, to cater to potential clients' needs and interests.
• Coaches should sign up for a Zoom account to conduct coaching sessions, coffee chats, and consultations virtually.
• It's crucial to have a payment system in place to receive payments from clients, and coaches can use platforms like PayPal or Stripe to set this up.
• Once coaches have all the essential tools and systems in place, they can start promoting their coaching services on social media platforms, through referrals, or by collaborating with other coaches or businesses.
• The key takeaway is that coaches need to take action and implement these steps consistently to attract and sign their first clients and start building a thriving coaching business.
