Starting and growing a business takes more than a good idea. It takes clarity, confidence, strategy, consistency, a strong mindset, faith and the ability to keep moving forward when you are the person responsible for making everything happen.
If you are an entrepreneur, small business owner, side hustler, or client-facing professional, you know that building a business can be incredibly rewarding, but it can also leave you overwhelmed, second-guessing yourself, stuck in perfectionism, or wondering if you are actually making progress.
That is where coaching can help.
I work with entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners to get clear on what they want, turn ideas into an actual plan, work through the mindset blocks that keep them stuck, and create the structure and strategy they need to move forward.
And because I have built my own coaching business from scratch, with a background in marketing, I understand that entrepreneurship is both personal and practical.
I build the person and the business.
You do not have to have everything figured out perfectly before you start a business. In fact, most entrepreneurs don’t.
I have worked with life coaches, realtors, personal trainers, lawyers, handymen, fitness instructors, florists, and other professionals who wanted to build something of their own. Some came to me with an established business they wanted to grow and others were trying to figure out what business they actually wanted to start. I’ve helped clients start side hustles, take a side hustle and turn it into their full-time career, grow existing businesses and even close businesses they started so they could start new ones!
Wherever you are in the process, coaching gives you a place to step out of the day-to-day and look at the bigger picture.
Together, we can work through questions like:
What kind of business do I actually want to build?
Is it time to turn my side hustle into my full-time business?
How do I know what I should offer and who I should serve?
How do I get my business started from scratch?
What should I focus on first?
How do I market myself and actually get clients?
How do I stop overthinking every decision?
How do I stay motivated when business feels slow?
How do I build a business without burning myself out?
What is keeping me from charging what I am worth?
How do I create more consistency and structure in my business?
How do I grow my business while still having a life?
Coaching with me helps you to be successful without doing the most. It gives you space to think clearly, someone who understands the realities of entrepreneurship, and support that helps you turn what you know into action. It’s so nice to have someone who gets it in it with you!
If you know you want to work for yourself but you don’t know exactly what that looks like yet you’re in the right place. It’s okay if you have ten ideas and cannot decide which one to pursue, and it’s okay if you already know what you want to do but keep putting off actually starting. I’m here to help!
We can get clear on the business you want to create, who you want to serve, what you want your work to look like, and what needs to happen to get it off the ground. Life coaching can help you move from “I think I want to start a business” to having a much clearer vision for what you are building and why.
There are a lot of logistics that go into starting a business, on a tangible to do list side and an intangible mindset side. I coach my clients through all aspects of entrepreneurship.
“I want to take the leap but I’m scared” is something I hear a lot from my corporate clients who are eager to go full time in their side hustles.
Turning a side hustle into your full-time business can be exciting, but it can also bring up a lot of questions. When do I make the leap? How do I know if I am ready? What needs to happen first? How do I replace my current income?
We can work through the practical and emotional side of making that transition so you can make decisions from clarity instead of fear.
I have been in this exact place! I spent years in Corporate America, built my life coaching practice on the side of my full time job and then made the leap into coaching full time in January of 2022 and have never looked back! I understand the complexity of emotions and logistics that this transition entails because I successfully navigated it and have helped a lot of other people do the same!
A business is difficult to grow if people do not know you exist or if they don’t have a clear understanding of the person you serve.
With my background in marketing and experience building my own business from scratch, I can help you think through how you are presenting your business, who you are trying to reach, how you are communicating your value, and where your marketing energy is best spent.
We can talk about your website, social media, networking, referrals, Google, content, email marketing, and other ways to get your business in front of the right people. We are not doing the most here or chasing every marketing tactic available. Instead we are creating a marketing approach that makes sense for your business and that you can actually sustain.
When you become an entrepreneur, every fear, insecurity and limiting belief you have is going to be brought to the surface. This is where the personal coaching piece becomes incredibly important. We build YOU so that we can build the business. If your business growth has stalled it’s because your personal growth has stalled.
Common emotional blocks entrepreneurs face include questioning whether you are good enough, worrying about what other people think, comparing yourself to competitors, struggling to charge what you are worth, and feeling like you should be doing more all the time. Don’t worry, we can work through these stressors!
Perfectionism, procrastination, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, fear of success, people-pleasing, and an inability to slow down can all affect the way you run your business, and they make business and life a lot less fun and a lot more difficult.
We will work on the person behind the business so you can make decisions with greater confidence, stop letting fear run the show, and build your business from a place of clarity and alignment rather than constant pressure.
I built my life coaching business on the side of my full time job, took a leap of faith into full time entrepreneurship and navigated all the emotions that arose along the way. We all start with zero clients, zero revenue and zero idea how we are going to achieve our dreams.
This is why my approach to business coaching goes beyond strategy alone. We will work on the practical side of building your business while also addressing the mindset, self-doubt, perfectionism, fear, and overwhelm that can make entrepreneurship so much harder than it needs to be.
Whether you are trying to figure out what business you want to start, ready to turn your side hustle into your full-time career, or looking for support to grow an established business, I am here to help you create something that is successful and sustainable.
You deserve to have a business that supports the life you want rather than consuming it. I work with clients virtually throughout the United States, including entrepreneurs and small business owners in Dallas and beyond. And bonus! Business coaching with me is often tax deductible! Check with your tax preparing to confirm.
