Let me save you YEARS of your life (AND MONEY) with this advice for corporate women starting coaching businesses (I learned the hard way)...
Please understand that you've already got what most new coaches spend years trying to build.
Here's what to leverage right now, though.
๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ธ. I don't mean blast your LinkedIn connections with "I'm a coach now, DM me." I mean the relationships you've built over 20 years in rooms where decisions get made. Those people already trust you and you don't have to convince them you're credible; they already know. Stop underestimating that.
๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐
๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ. The thing you do on autopilot at work? That's someone's entire problem! The framework you built for your team, the way you onboard new hires, the way you navigate difficult leadership conversations. That's not "just your job." That's your offer waiting to be packaged!
๐ฌ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด. Corporate trained you to see the whole board, not just the next move. Most coaches are winging it. You walk in already knowing how to build a process, measure what's working, and fix what isn't. That's a head start you're not using.
๐๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐. This is the one people skip and then burn out wondering why. You can build a coaching business that doesn't take over your life, but only if you decide that upfront. Not after you've overcommitted, said yes to every discovery call and underpriced every offer trying to prove yourself. START NOW.
You don't need to blow up your life to build YOUR BUSINESS. You need to stop starting from scratch when you're already ahead.
