29. How To Make Your First $10k As A Coach

In a recent interview with Authority Magazine, I was asked what habits allowed me to have success in my coaching business. Here's what I came up with: 1) Sleeping in every day.  I decided early on that I was not going to sacrifice my health for success. Rather than wake up extremely early to make my life busier, I decided to sleep in and use my waking hours to focus ONLY on what would get me results. This allowed me to learn how to be productive instead of busy. When you give your brain LESS hours to work with, your brain becomes MORE efficient. You learn how to get more done in less time. 2) Embracing awkward conversations with strangers. As an introvert, I avoided large social gatherings. I dreaded the awkwardness that came with meeting new people. But then I asked myself, "Is it worth it to have a moment of awkwardness if it meant this person's life will ultimately be transformed?" The answer was always yes. The more awkward conversations I fumbled through with strangers, the more my business ended up growing. 3) Asking for support. I used to stubbornly try to figure everything out on my own. But then I realized that if I had a big mission, it would require big support. The moment I invested in professional training and mentorship was also when I saw everything start to skyrocket. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel if you want to succeed as a coach. In this episode, I explain how you can incorporate these habits to hit your first $10k as a coach. To become a Certified Professional Coach, visit www.thrivingcoachacademy.com.
