The Amanda Kaufman Show

Everyone is talking about racism, social justice, and systemic bias… As coaches, we are holding space for people to explore transformation so they can step into their highest and best self to achieve their goals. Yet, with the discussion of racism, bias, business, the conversations can get complicated fast, leaving coaches everywhere (along with everyone else) confused, and often at a loss for wha...

This week we're sitting down with Carolina Millan, an International Speaker, Business Coach and Content Creator.  From time to time, I love to interview coaches who have figured some things out… Because it's true, it's not easy to build a viable business, but it's possible . And I know I'm telling you it's possible all the time, but sometimes you just have to get proof from more than one source, r...

Not sure what to do in isolation? I'm talking to you, Coach, who's launching your business. Nobody knows what is going to happen. The economy is already responding. It's a challenge and coaches have a duty to put out as much positive energy as they can.  What does that look like? First take care of yourself. You need your energy and health. Second, check everything's cool at home, so everybody's h...

You've got big goals, big dreams, and big items on that to-do list to make it happen. But do you have the support team that you really need?   What do you do about the relationships in your life that are not exactly fulfilling?

We love inviting successful coaches to share with us their perspectives and journey on creating a real business of service, and you will love hearing from Kimberly about what her big mindset difference-makers were.

At the beginning of 2019 I used a free software that reminded me to be Relentless every day.    See, when I first started coaching I started and stopped.  Started and stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped.   (I think you are getting to the point that it happened… A LOT! )   AND, my results reflected that.    But when I decided to keep going (and figured out the sec...

Now, I'd love to sit here and tell you that I've reached such a stage of enlightenment that nothing anyone says bothers me or hurts my feelings. But that would be what we call a lie :) I, like you, am human. And the opinions of others can take its toll on me (even if they are perfect strangers. I know, weird right?) But, those comments, even when hurtful, do not have to keep you from getting what...

"How do I decide what to invest in for my business?" I don't know about you, but when I first started I bought every course, program and software I came across, because I thought that's what I needed to do. And while taking action was great, I got confused for a bit and lost sight of the most important question in business. (Which I'm sharing with you in today's C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog!) This is th...

Maybe you've known people who are really talented, but who are stuck in a rut because they doubt themselves… Maybe you feel this way sometimes too... It's perfectly understandable. Doubt is a normal thing that everyone experiences. (Not evidence that there's something wrong with you.) But when you know how to use the energy of doubt to your advantage, that's when you break free to the success you...

What would it be like if you were meeting people, and you ran out of space on your calendar to talk to all the people that might be interested in your services?   That's exactly what happened to me during one particular "hustle" moment in my business…   I was meeting people, and talking to people, so frequently, that I managed to "break" my follow-up system!!   For most people I talk to, the issue...

One of the questions we get asked A LOT (like, a lot, a lot) is...   "How do you do it all?"   With all the moving parts of a coaching business (plus taking care of the kiddos, being a spouse, taking care of our bodies, oh… and having a life!), HOW does one person handle it all?   Well… this week's myth-busting episode tells you how.

When I first started online, I wanted to succeed so bad.    I read everything I could find about how to make money online.    And I tried to follow everything to the letter.    But it didn't always work out so well…   For example: I decided to have a Black Friday sale. Makes sense, right?   Then when Black Friday came...  Crickets.    And that was just one of my many disappointments.    Turns out,...

I "should" do this better.   She "should" stop doing that.   This "should" work faster.   The "shoulding" used to go on... and on... and on.   In fact, I used to even "should" myself without thinking. (Yikes!)   This showed up in my life as anxiety, depression, and a few more pounds to carry around on my body.   Then, I realized something that helped me stop "shoulding" myself, and today I want to...
