Mom Coaches Getting Clients

When you first hear that my signature coaching package is six months of weekly one on one coaching sessions, it might feel like you're going to be in for the long haul. The truth is that that's how long it takes for you to really start to see what you've signed up for working with me - creating a regular flow of clients to your mom coaching or other soloprenereur biz. Not only does six months of w...

One of my favourite parts of running my coaching biz was showing up and serving inside my Facebook group. I created something I was quite proud of, nurtured many of my soon to be clients and it was inside a social media platform I was comfortable with. I even hit that sweet tipping point where Facebook was even starting to recommend the group to people who fit my ideal client profile: moms who coa...

If you're coaching moms you're going to get to be your number one client. Remember that all the self-coaching we do for ourselves is a gesture of coaching for our clients. All the self-love we dose on ourselves is a a gesture of love toward our clients. To grow our coaching biz is also an act of honoring all our clients. Even if a mama is quietly observing from the sidelines, chances are very good...

While there are hundreds, if not thousands of coaching niches to choose from the last thing I want for any of my clients to do is to be stuck at this phase of their coaching biz for too long. Choosing niche. In fact, it's best to choose none at all if it means you are stuck in indecisive land and not doing what is going to bring you clarity on who and how you serve. Which is getting on there and a...

Life coaches are a special breed of entrepreneur. They want to encourage their clients to change their lives in deeply profound ways. Problem is is that the typically want to capture all the life transformation magic that happens when their own clients work with them by saying things like 'life transformation'. Which isn't a bad thing. It's just going to make signing on new clients that much more...

Want to know what's truly holding you back from getting the mom coaching clients you want? Your brain. More specifically, the way you're thinking about your ability to coach. Your creeping self-doubt that you can even make a difference. And on a deeper level, it could be a deeply ingrained belief that you're only allotted a certain amount of happiness. The good news is, this is perfectly normal. Y...

One of the greatest perks of having a one on one coach is having that weekly check in to remind you of how awesome you are.  Fresh out of a session with my own coach she asked me. Are you forgetting how awesome you are? I think for a split moment I had. So to remind me, and to remind you OR if you're new to my world and you don't know, I'd like to share a bit about my journey and how this makes me...

As a business coach for mom coaches I always begin with the same question. What are your income goals with your business this year. Second question: what are your available work hours? This is just part of the puzzle that makes up the definition of what being booked out as a coach. Is a combination of a few things. Where you're currently at in your biz, the time you have available to take one on o...

Ever wonder about the state of the branding of your mom coaching biz? Maybe it's time to think about it. And I know I have been ever since my conversation with Maria Platusic - a brand strategist who owns Platusic Design Creative Studio. She helps established entrepreneurs like us who are looking to rebrand, combat branding and website overwhelm. She has been in the design industry now for over 20...

As a business coach for mom coaches I seem to attract a lot of multi-passionate mamas. Which makes sense. Being an entrepreneur takes a lot of fire in your belly to be success. Having a successful coaching biz, just like any business, is a marathon. You will reach your income level goal IF you don't give up. Not only is it about tenacity it's also about coaching yourself back to the mindset needed...

 I typically only work 20 hours a week as a coach. But lately those work hours have been inconspicuously creeping up. And it took a doctor's appointment to shine a light on that fact and remind me that a successful mom coaching biz can be run on only 20 hours a week. And probably more efficiently than if you had 40 hours a week in your home office. I wasn't quite at 40 hours a week but I was start...

You want to coach moms but the building a website for your coaching biz is holding you back from taking action. Don't let the fact you don't have a slick website yet, or even a website at all, hold you back from getting out there and finding your next coaching client. You can find clients leaning on a simple online marketing plan without a website. You just have to get a little creative. But most...

As a coach yourself you know that investing in a business coach is just that. It's an investment in your business. And as a coach, either for life or biz, you can wrap your mind around what it is to invest in a coach as a mom. It's an investment in not only your future but your children's future as well. Everything that you're getting coached on in your business will affect how you show up in your...

Many begin life coaching moms as a side hustle. In fact, so side hustle it's practically not a hustle any more. More like a side dawdle. There comes a point where you have to make the conscious decision. Are you in this for the hobby or are you in this for the jobby? Meaning, do you want to make a real go at this as a profession. Create a career, and an income, that will surpass your wildest expec...

There are many different stances on whether to start broad in your coaching business and then niche down. Or start with a niche and then course correct as you go. I'm team niche in case you haven't figured out yet. All my freebies and trainings typically begin with 'start with your niche statement'. But let's clarify what this actually means. Because I don't want you thinking that you shouldn't me...

Guilty pleasure alert! Yes, another one. I love watching the Bachelor. And when I'm not watching the Bachelor I love listening to podcasts about the Bachelor. There is the one podcast in particular that brought into light for me some ways that getting the lead's eye is a little bit like selling your coaching services. This podcast brings in a couple of concepts I'm by no means an expert in: number...

What do you think of when you hear organic marketing? Farmers market come to my mind. And then a farmer. Tending to a field of new coaching clients. Homegrown with no added chemicals.  Let's talk about how to grow your coaching biz the organic way. Building your mom coach business one client at a time by focusing on a simple plan and relationship building.   Technically, organic marketing refers t...

Building a coaching business is not for the faint of heart. Luckily, as moms, we're designed to ride through the array of emotions that are promised to be delivered to you as you stretch outside of your comfort zone, over and over again. It's not only the headspace of taking on the personae of someone who is a life coach but it's also the mind drama of riding the waves of entrepreneurship. There's...

It's natural to want to take a pause when you're starting to feel your coaching business is starting to gain traction. You're starting to attract consistent clients. You have a plan in place to continue on this trajectory to get yourself fully booked with the moms you know you can help. Sometimes you just need to take a moment to evaluate what's working, what's not and celebrate all the exciting m...

Don't let perfectionist tendencies hold you back from reaching your income goals. Nothing can be more paralyzing in your momentum moving forward toward your goals and dreams than waiting until everything is just so. I want to introduce to you in this episode some ways you can fall in love a little bit more with your self, flaws and all, and how you can apply this to your coaching practice so that...

A wonderful way to ring in the new year in both your life and biz is to choose a word of the year. This practice has served as anchor for me over the years to help me live my days intentionally and memorably and see my growth in different areas. I can remember the words of years past and what was most alive for me in the time I choose it, and I can pick up immediately the lessons learned during th...

Being a coach, a large part of our work is guiding our clients to all the big and little decisions that make up our life experience. And there is no lack of decisions to be made at any turn in both our life and in our business. And being a sensitive creature myself I notice how my stress levels quickly creep up when I'm confronted with too many choices , or ones that feel like my whole success as...

Sending out a weekly newsletter to your email list is one of the task to dive into as part of the simple marketing plan I help my mom coaches create. And there are plenty of ways to encourage your ideal clients to opt-in to your list - including creating challenges, webinars, joining your Facebook group or free training - but the easiest way to do it is to whip up a simple to create and simple to...

Only thing I slightly miss from working outside of the home is the excuse to get all dressed up for the work day. Mind you this was the mid-90's. The hey day of shoulder pads, mini-skirts and clunky high heels. Think Melrose Place and what Heather Locklear's bitchy character was sporting. I was super blessed because my mom was an amazing seamstress and made me all these amazing suits to wear to th...

Whenever some one asks me what's one thing I would have different at the beginning of my coaching career the first thing that comes to mind is sticking to the principles offered inside Profit First. I'm by no means an expert in this system offered by Mike Michalowicz in his book Profit First to grow your income in a counter-intuitive way - pay yourself first before expenses, has blown my mind and...
