The common myths that stop coaches from starting their coaching business or taking the next step to sign clients, launch their business, and make money and an impact. Listen to these practical tips and strategies for overcoming these hurdles and creating a successful coaching business.

Waiting for fear to go away before taking action keeps you stuck. Fear is a companion on the journey, and the way to get over it is to take action, even one tiny step.
Trying to figure everything out on your own is inefficient and yields a "crazy quilt" version of a coaching business. Working with a coach or mentor and creating true connections with people who can support you is crucial.
Taking courses and pursuing certifications are important, but don't allow them to hold you back from starting. Remember who you are and leverage your skills, experience, and strengths.
Following all kinds of experts and consuming information without creating anything can be a major distraction. Focus on creating your own content and IP and working on projects that will move your business forward.
Coaches often worry that tech is too complicated, but the amount of tech knowledge you need to start a coaching business is probably less than you think. You don't need a fancy website or a big social media following to be a coach.
Having a positive and growth mindset is crucial for overcoming common hurdles and creating a successful coaching business. Believing in yourself and your ability to learn and grow is key.
Focusing on a specific niche or area of expertise can help you stand out and attract your ideal clients. Don't try to be everything to everyone.
Creating genuine connections with people, including potential clients and peers in the industry, can help you grow your coaching business and build a supportive community.
Perfectionism can hold you back and prevent you from taking action. Embrace imperfection and focus on progress, not perfection.
Consistency is key when it comes to building a successful coaching business. Taking small and consistent action steps, even when you don't feel like it, can help you make progress and achieve your goals.
