Hi beauty,
Do you feel like no one is listening when you are looking for health coaching clients?
Like no one really ‘wants’ what you are offering?
Like people go cross-eyed when you tell them you’re a ‘health coach’
And if you are really, really honest, the only people you are really talking to are your family anyway….
Do you ever ask yourself: What makes a great coach? Do they have specific qualities or do they do something special?
I believe that in order to be a great coach, you have to value coaching.
Joining a coaching mastermind is, in my opinion, the best thing a new health coach can do for themselves and their business. This means investing in yourself.
Investing in yourself can be one of the most difficult decisions to make when new health coaches are considering growing their coaching business.
Over the last few days, I have been talking to a number of awesome ladies who are looking to join the UPswing Mastermind.
I have noticed one particular theme coming up that I wanted to talk about with our whole community.
I’ve noticed that many of you are concerned that the health coach market is already full, saturated, or over-crowded.
That it is ‘too late’ to get into a health coaching business. That there is ‘no room for me’
This is the second post of my intention and goal-setting series, where I walk you through how to release what has come before and get ready to start achieving massive goal success in the coming year (and months!) ahead.
How was your big breathe out? What’s bubbled up for you over the past few days?
With the past year gently released, it’s time to consider all parts of your life and create your intentions for the year to come.
Go grab your journal. You’ll also need a separate piece of paper.
I'm back in Sydney after 2 glorious weeks in Bali - seriously I think Bali is THE perfect holiday spot in the world. Warm, sunny, loving people, raw food and yoga galore! #bliss
A key thought that arose for me when I stopped 'working' while on holiday was that I personally have a deep knowing that you are MEANT to get your health work out to the world now - the world is so ready for what you have to offer - and I think deep down you know this too.
So why then would you keep getting in your own way???
On one hand, you want nothing more than to build your business and help as many people as possible. On the other hand, you seem to keep going round in circles.
Frustrating right?!
I hear you! For way too long I was stuck in my head trying to 'work it all out'.
So here's the thing...
I have a bit of a thing for stationery.
My husband has a rule: “No more journals until you have used all of the others”.
Of course, I never listen.
I always have several journals on the go. Personal journals for daily intentions, nighttime journaling and thoughts and meanderings. And stacks of notebooks to write client notes as I coach, lesson notes for UPswing Mastermind modules and blog post ideas.
Feeling as though there are some barriers holding you back from succeeding as a health coach?
Not sure if you can really 'have it all'?
You want a business that allows you a stress-free working environment where you can work on your own terms.
You want financial stability and at the same time feel like you have a purpose in the world.
Ideal, reliable and long-term clients are part of your vision for what success looks like.
And a big dose of flexibility and location independence is important.
But right now it feels like there are some invisible barriers holding you back...
Many of us have made the exciting transition from an office job to being an entrepreneur.
I often lament on how different my life was working in an office – actual lunch breaks!! I would often take breaks from my desk, paid bills at lunchtime or simply a stroll in the city.
When I decided to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams, at first I had so much time for self-care it was AWESOME. But as my business grew I discovered I struggled to fit time in for myself as the days flew by in a busy blur.
This only increased as my workload increased and my self-care practices during my office days needed to be scheduled in or I risked running out of physical and mental energy.
I love talking about the importance of keeping your entrepreneur mindset sharp and connected for opportunities in your business, but how can one exactly do that?
It’s so important to keep yourself healthy to maximise your ability to shoot for the stars in your life and business. And wellbeing starts with you.
I first discovered some of the biggest learnings in wellbeing from Tony Robbins and it completely shifted my mindset on the link between health and big success.
The following are ideas that have been researched and developed to help you keep a healthy mindset.
