480. To The Coach Who Thought She'd Be Further Along By Now

It's June. Are you where you thought you'd be in your coaching business by now?   In this episode of The Divorce Revolution Podcast, I'm having the conversation that not enough coaches are willing to have publicly.   Because if we're being honest, there are a lot of coaches who started this year full of excitement and big goals…and now, halfway through the year, they're feeling frustrated, discouraged, and wondering why things haven't clicked yet.   Maybe you've been posting consistently. Maybe you've invested in courses. Maybe you've even signed a client or two.   But the traction you hoped for still isn't there.   And when that happens, it's easy to start questioning everything—your niche, your offer, your abilities, and even whether you're cut out for this in the first place.   In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the parts of entrepreneurship that people rarely talk about: the emotional rollercoaster, the financial pressure, the imposter syndrome, and the reality that becoming a successful coach requires far more than just learning how to coach.   Most importantly, I want you to know that struggling right now does not mean you're failing.   If anything, I hope this episode reminds you that you're not alone, you're not broken, and you don't have to figure this all out by yourself.   Resources Mentioned: Join the waitlist for ReNewU, the step-by-step business roadmap for women who are DONE guessing and finally ready to build a profitable coaching business: https://products.ambershaw.com/signature-waitlist   What I Discuss: 02:30 The conversations nobody is having on Instagram 03:53 Why building a coaching business can feel so emotionally exhausting 04:32 How inconsistency starts to chip away at your confidence 05:13 Imposter syndrome, embarrassment, and feeling like you're falling behind 06:22 The financial pressure nobody talks about 08:08 Why struggling does not mean you're failing 09:08 The tough-love truth about getting support 09:46 The five jobs most coaches don't realize they're signing up for 11:15 Why sales, messaging, and marketing are learned skills 13:03 The real reason so many coaches stay stuck 13:51 Why finding the right mentor can change everything 14:39 An invitation to stop guessing and start fixing what's actually broken   Find more from Amber Shaw: Instagram: @msambershaw Website: ambershaw.com
