Why a coach is the most important business investment you can make.
Before I had a coach I was flailing. My business was making money, but I was a mess. I had the fortunate experience of having a business that was wildly success from the very beginning– and I wasn’t ready for it.
I wish I had a coach during those times. I think back to how distraught I was. How utterly overwhelmed I was and how there seemed to be no one to talk to. Everyone believed I should be so grateful and happy– because my business was successful. But it was also demanding too much of me. Money isn’t the only thing in life.
Yes, I had a therapist. But it just didn’t help as much as I thought it would. There was something inside me that would judge myself even before I got to those appointments, and I wasn’t even aware of it.
It wasn’t until I found The Life Coach School via a podcast that I had hope. I listened for months and my life improved. Every time (to this day) that I listen to that podcast, I feel seen. I learn more about how I can navigate this world in healthy, exciting, productive ways. I learn more about how I can accept what is and change what I can. How I can maximize my human experience, in the ways that seem most live-giving to me. More time for travel. More time with my nephews. More time speaking to the brave women who I know I’m here to serve.
In 2016, I became a certified life coach and I deepened my skill set to help women founders reach their potential.
Having a coach is the best thing that has happened to me, after being born of course. My coach has helped me show up for myself. She’s helped me make the most of every investment I make. She’s helped me process trauma and such painful situations and set me up for the life I want to live.
She’s there to remind me just how strong I am. And that no matter what my inner critic says, I’m lovable and successful and belong.
With this backbone of human support, she’s helped me make the most of my business, and I’m just beginning.
Whatever it is you’re looking to change or grow or create– a coach helps you become capable of it.
Money. Time. Purpose. Love. Adventure. All of it is possible. But it does require your brain get on board. Coaches support your humanness while helping you take steps toward goals that you might believe are out of reach today.
