The 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic has made almost all of the globe re-evaluate the long-term and short-term goals of their business... and the coaching industry is no different.From massive layoffs & furloughs, to big corporations declaring bankruptcy, to absolutely every large gathering or live event cancelled until at least 2021; cross-functionally destroying layers of industry from transportation to publicity, not since the Great Recession of 2008 has there been such an upheaval in the markets of commerce and trade, felt by literally...everyone.But this time has hit much harder and has been far more expansively income-crushing across the entire globe, with many impatient prior-employed people researching “how to start a side-hustle” or get online training to boost their resume; start a new career all-together (40% of jobs may nev…

Sometimes, you won’t fully recognize the source of your pain or discontentment.It may look like one thing– My life is overwhelming— or I am sick all the time– or my back hurts, when in actuality, the source of that ailment is coming from something different. For example, an incompatible career choice may manifest itself as an inconsolable source of sadness or depression. Or, an ongoing resentment may eventually manifest into a chronic illness.What you experience as stress, pain and unhappiness can be a reflection of something quite different. It’s not until you slow down and stop deflecting, that you give yourself the opportunity to notice the connection between your experiences.How can you see more clearly what’s happening?You’ll need to dive deeper, make yourself a priority, and spend some quality time with discernment, honesty, an…

Are you wondering if you can make money online as a life coach?

The Learning Curve

Truth number one is that your first year is a big learning curve. I wouldn't recommend quitting your job right away. You want to make sure that you have the time resources and the monetary resources to invest in your business and your personal growth as a business owner. I recommend that you either go down part-time in your career right now, whether you're working a nine to five or for another company, I recommend that you stay with that company. If you can do it part-time, grow your business as a consultant or coach on the side, and then let that grow and take off before quitting. That might be a better idea. The worst thing is for you to be struggling to grow your business and learn and not get things right while making an income.

Don't Go I…

When I was first diagnosed with major depression in 2010 I knew it would be difficult for my family to believe, but I never dreamed it would be so hard for me to understand that mental illness is as real as physical illness. Let me explain.

If I had a bad cold, I might check my temperature to see if I have a fever. I would expect a runny nose, body aches and maybe a scratchy throat. I might even choose to take a sick day to allow my body to rest. And I would probably drink soups, juices, and plenty of fluids. Does that sound about right?

When depression hits, though, I can’t see it. People who know me and love me can’t see it. It’s just something that exists behind my eyes and between my ears. So, because I can’t see it – I mean, there’s no real evidence of being sick – in the past I would keep on doing all of my normal activities. I would …

Earlier this week I was talking to one of my clients about being a coach and the coaching industry. We talked about how she had a bad experience with a previous coach and was very wary of the title. I started to ask her a lot of questions about this experience. Then I thought, have you ever had a bad meal, a bad relationship, or a bad physician. Of course, she replied yes and I asked how is this any different?

While I realize there are bad people out there who are out of integrity and who lie about their credentials and capabilities (hello, have you met Donald Trump?), there are also some amazing people out there who are truly making a difference in the lives of others. And, I’d assert that coaches are probably making the most impact. Here’s why.

Coaches have the ability to be direct and cut to the chase. Most people who knew my mother k…

One of the biggest obstacles a person will face when working towards a goal is not a lack of progress. On the contrary! It is not appreciating the steps they have already taken!

This is because these steps occur at a slow pace every day, while at the same time we are called to be involved in many other activities. So our attention is split among many different tasks and we end up not realizing the progress we make on a daily basis.

Frequently, we only focus our attention on the ulterior goal we want to achieve. But we are unable to see the distance we have already traveled since the beginning of our venture.

Usually, the problem is that we do not comprehend what kind of skills and strategies we have used, nor how many others we have developed along the way, nor how many difficulties and obstacles …

As we all wait in anxious anticipation of the state of our nation. All too often this is how many of us live - Fearful, stressed, nervous and down right scared about what will become of our lives after traumas. So many of us think because we've gone through horrific things that these stories can't be used to change lives and use the freedom of telling these stories to catapult us to a place of peace, calm and content.

Have you ever handed someone a handful of ashes in exchange for a beautiful bouquet of roses? How about that for a gift exchange program? When have we ever handed someone the broken pieces of our lives and they decided that in return they wanted to share something beautiful that had true value instead? Well, when we go through traumatic things and we seek out the help we need …

Portraying the right image of your brand to your clients should be one of your topmost priorities as an online business owner. There are so many risks if your design is giving your potential clients the wrong signals. So, here goes the million-dollar question – Is investing in design worth it? Before we go further as to why design is worth investing, let’s first define what is design when related to branding. Your brand is the face of your business and design brings branding to life in a visual format. So it is basically those things that represent your brand visually. Since design is now clearly defined, here are my top 5 reasons why I say investing in design is worth every single penny:

1. Good design makes your business look professionalPeople will start taking you professionally if you have a p…

I want you (and myself) to RELEASE PRESSURE. We can still have deadlines AND release that white knuckle grip. So if you have tension in your shoulders, neck, belly... Let go, breathe into those places and let go of perfection, have-to, "shoulds", performance, keeping up. Make it easy, not hard. Even though we have been taught that more, better, faster is the way to get ahead. It is false. Relax and allow. Much more will come to you and with much greater ease (and fun!). I want this for you.

A Drop the Pressure Exercise.

* Take 5 minutes to write out everything going on in your head. It could be anything from this person is upsetting you, you're worried about money, all the way down to where did you put that button from your favorite shirt last week. Big/small doesn't matter.

* DON'T READ THIS UNTIL YOU'VE DONE STEP ONE.
