Join me for a special episode celebrating 8 years in business! When I realized it was 8 years ago this month that I officially started taking clients as a health and life coach, I thought it would be fun to share 8 lessons I've learned — one for each year.
In my usual "tell it like it is" style, this is a pretty personal, real, and very behind-the-scenes talk about what it really takes to do this. This one is less about strategy and definitely more about what's underneath it all — the showing up, the relationships, the work, and maybe most importantly, how to stay in it for the long haul. I'm sharing stories from my life and my business — not only what I've learned from this coaching business, but from all of my years as a Broadway performer, a yoga teacher, a yoga studio owner, and all the other jobs I had throughout my years making it in New York City.
As I always say, having your own business is not for the faint of heart — but it is absolutely for you if you're willing to do the work. This episode is for every coach, teacher, and service-based business owner who's in it for real.
In this episode you'll hear:
- Why the milestone you just hit is already fading from your memory — and what to do about it
- The reframe that changes everything about how you show up for your business every single day
- What I really mean when I say your business is in a relationship with you — and what it needs from you that you might not be giving it
- Why the people around you matter more than any strategy, tool, or platform you could invest in
- What I've learned about putting yourself out there over and over again — even when it doesn't go the way you planned
- The hardest thing about being in service to other people — and how to keep going anyway
- The one thing you simply cannot get around if you want clients — and how to figure out what it looks like specifically for you
Eight years in this business has taught me that the strategy is the easy part. The real work is everything underneath it — the mindset, the resilience, the relationships, and the willingness to keep showing up even when you don't feel like it. If you're building something of your own, whether you're just starting out or you've been at this for years, I think you're going to find something in this episode that lands for you. This one came straight from the heart.
