Life, Mastered with Molly Claire

Confidence is often the missing component when setting your ideal income goals. If you don’t believe they’re possible to achieve, if you don’t believe you belong in the “club” of success (however you define success)... you’ll struggle to accomplish your goals, income or otherwise. However, as you work on confidence, it’s also important to check in with yourself: Why do you want what you believe yo...

Charging for your coaching can be uncomfortable, maybe even a bit scary. It might feel as though it’s taking away from the good that you’re doing or that, somehow, it doesn’t fit your character because you’re not money-motivated.  But let me assure you, charging for your coaching can fit appropriately and comfortably into your practice, even when you’re scared. Through this episode, I want to help...

Your ability to grow your business is thoroughly interwoven into being a mission-centered coach. It is connected to your message, your expertise and your confidence. To be a mission-centered coach is to be a heart-centered coach. But what exactly does that mean?  In this episode, as a companion to my episode, Focus on what makes you money , I dive deeper into what it means to be a mission-centered...

There’s always a nearly inexhaustible business To Do list. As coaches, our brains naturally bend toward caring for others, toward inner work and healing, yet so much of what we need to do is outer work: sales, marketing, accounting, and the like. For many of us, it’s like learning a foreign language and thus takes a lot of time. But in accomplishing all the business things, are you carving out eno...

Getting any kind of break from your growing business may seem impossible. There’s always something that needs attention. As ambitious coaches, determined to accomplish big things for ourselves and our businesses, we can allow far too much time to go by between breathers. We easily assign more to ourselves than any human being can really realistically accomplish. Of course, the biggest danger in th...

Becoming a masterful coach takes work. But it’s work I know you can accomplish. I believe you only need some help in knowing what to focus on – where to turn your attention, dedication and passion.  In this episode, I hope to help guide you into developing the 5 traits of a masterful coach. As you listen, I encourage and challenge you to ask yourself: How are you doing? What are you already doing...

Limiting beliefs can really hold us back but freedom from them is attainable. As coaches, we have the beautiful and life-giving ability to help others unshackle from old beliefs. We can help them form and embrace new beliefs that propel them onto better things. Since limiting beliefs touch every area of our clients’ lives, you’re bound to bump into areas that were not your original focus. One very...

Even though the new year has only just begun, it can be tempting to feel like we’re already behind, like we should be seeing results from the changes we want to implement. Truthfully, we all want to see a power start to the new year. But we need to account for some things, including the energy shift that needs to take place, the need for a plan, and the need for time. So let me encourage you to gi...

Change is inevitable. But transitioning into change isn’t easy. Having a plan can make it better. And in particular, having a shift in perspective can go a long way to making things easier.  There is so much power in leaning into change. That's why, as we head into 2023, I want to offer some thoughts and ideas I hope will help you. First of all, let’s just embrace this truth: things typically don’...

As we get older, we can begin to feel as though we’re running out of time... Time to do all the things we had hoped and made plans for. But it’s not too late. In fact, entrepreneurship is a perfect avenue to pursue the dreams in our hearts. That said, there is a lot to figure out within entrepreneurship as well. A whole lot! The good news is, you can, no matter your age. That's why I’m excited to...

Thinking of your brand in a totally different way can be the key to getting your message out to those who need it. But we’re not talking about graphic designs, logos or even the look of your website. We’re talking about the process to really identify and more concisely communicate your unique mission. There may be thousands of coaches out there but there is only one you! Because there’s only one y...

The fear of leaving the security of what you currently know is very real. And it may not even matter how well your side-business of coaching is doing. But it’s a decision. Sometimes you have to cut off all other options and just force yourself to make it happen full time. (If it’s right for you and the right timing.) But launching a business is scary. It really needs its own type of therapy. To ta...

Being interviewed on podcasts is a natural way to get your message out to more people. It’s a powerful sales and marketing tool. But how do you get booked? How do you pitch yourself? And once you’ve gotten booked for a podcast interview, how should you prepare? How do you know what to say? If you feel both your excitement and apprehension mounting, never fear. I’ve got you.  To talk all about bein...

The loss of a son… The inspiration to take massive action to impact the world, especially teens... A powerful mission to infuse compassion into today's youth and use service as a vehicle for healing and growth… All of this is simply too important not to share. That's why for this episode I wanted to do something a little different. I invited Brittni Shroeder , Business Coach and Marketing Strategi...

Taking on a business partner is a big decision. How do you know who to choose? When is the right timing? What considerations should you have? What questions should you ask? How should you prepare?... When it comes down to it, it can all be rather overwhelming. That’s why if you’re considering taking on a partner, or might someday in the future, I created this episode for you. (Well, even if this i...

When we coach from a business perspective, it can seem logical and right to focus on business strategy, systems, marketing… the nuts and bolts of business… But what if your true mission is to help heal others? To touch the intangible things in order to move forward the tangible things?  This is the genius zone in which Certified Business Strategy coach Kim Job found herself in when she began the v...

Have you ever had that moment when a client mentions an issue they’re facing and you immediately think, ‘Uh oh! Me too!’? In that heart-sinking moment, you freeze and think, “Can I really help them?” You might even think, “If they knew my personal struggles, would they even keep me as a coach?” Let me bring you some comfort: We all have moments when our skill set is stretched. Times when we wonder...

The impact a coach can have on Moms as they navigate motherhood cannot be overstated. And the Mom niche in coaching has some unique challenges. Moms are often the ones to minimize themselves and the load they carry. They don’t tend to ask for help or seek support. On the flip side, those moms that don’t minimize themselves, and do ask for help, tend to feel as though they should have guilt for not...

Building your business and leveraging sales and marketing can be daunting when you feel like you don’t know where to begin or what to do. How do you position your messaging to create a business that builds to 7-figures? How often do you need to change it up? How can you compensate if you don’t feel very skilled in getting your message to the right people? Being ready to adapt is key. Things are co...

Can a coach really ever make back the money invested in training and in building her business? We all have goals in the amount of money we want to make (as we should) but is simply recouping the money invested truly possible? Or might there be a better way? In this episode, I want to talk about this because we all start out in the same place. We invest first and then open our coaching business and...

Is your underwear affecting your business growth? Yes, I asked that question. And believe it or not, it might be! How you feel about yourself is reflected in your style, and that affects your confidence.

So if you’re looking to increase your biz success, it might be time to check your...

Do you have to have everything together and be completely ready in order to make 7-figures and have an enormous impact? Spoiler alert (and the great news): No. When you offer something to a specific group of people who are hungry for help, when you meet a need no one else is meeting, when you make a commitment to show up – no matter what – you can have an amazing business. To talk about what this...

Fear can be pretty sneaky. It can appear like problems – especially ones you’re not sure how to tackle or overcome. But those problems might just be uncertainty, not difficulties you can’t navigate. And fear and uncertainty magnify problems by making you feel alone. But let me assure you, what’s stopping you from moving forward in your business is not only common, it’s very normal.  It’s normal to...

We’ve all had that experience at least once, right? That time a sales call or presentation left us with a really bad taste in our mouth. It felt sleazy, slimy and you knew you'd never say yes. Afterward, you vowed to never be that person. Whether you like sales, hate them, or land somewhere in between, we all want our potential clients to have a comfortable, positive sales experience with us. Even...
