Have you ever wondered why businesses fail inside the coaching industry? If you are a mom, have a job and also try to build a six figure business, you know how hard it can be.
You don't want to spend time with your loved ones and give them the best care possible. But you also want to achieve your own coaching goals. "How is that even possible", you probably thought once.
Burnt out coaches get tired from gurus that tell them to just work harder or longer hours. They tend to go into their business days and then do exactly that though. Or they might go back to their current corporate careers because it seems impossible to build a sustainable coaching business.
But have you also thought about how things can look like ten years down the road with your thriving coaching business? Take a step back and compare that to where you are right now?
