Dr. Patrice J. Carter breaks down what it actually takes to go from “I think I’m called to coach” to running a real coaching business.

We unpack how she structures Breakpoint Coaching Collective as a 12-week transformation that builds the coach and the business in parallel, including why she gets students coaching early instead of hiding behind branding work.

Patrice also clarifies a key distinction many new coaches miss: coaching vs. mentoring, and why asking and listening is the real skill.

We talk about niche selection, the fear of “too many coaches,” and how community and accountability close the execution gap inside any program.

If you’re serious about starting a coaching business, this episode is a clean reminder: stop overthinking and start.
