470. The $1,000 Decision Every New Coach Has to Make

At some point, you have to stop "trying" to build a coaching business…and decide you're actually doing it.

In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm talking about what I call the $1,000 decision—the moment where you stop treating your business like something you're testing out and start committing to it like it's happening, no matter what.

Because I see this all the time with new coaches. On the surface, it looks like you're doing the work—you're posting, learning, tweaking, trying. But underneath it, there's still hesitation. Still second guessing. Still a part of you that's in "practice mode."

And that's exactly what keeps you stuck.

In this episode, I break down what that shift actually looks like, how to start thinking like a CEO instead of someone just "trying," and why confidence doesn't come before momentum—it comes because of it.

If you've been stuck in "practice mode" and wondering why your business isn't moving forward, then this episode is for you.
