Follow the show: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Amazon Music | RSS As coaches, we need to be okay with leaning into both what we know and what we’re not yet comfortable with. In fact, at first our coaching journeys often start out somewhat self-serving. We learn because we’re passionate about a particular aspect of life, typically one we’ve personally experienced. And when we’re able to couple that with an existing area of our genius, magical things happen.  To discuss this and more, I interviewed Dan Purcell. Along with his wife, Emily, Dan is the founder of Get Your Marriage On!, a marriage intimacy improvement coaching company and Virgo Development, a software development company. While we talked, Dan discussed pushing through discomfort, leveraging your genius, and no longer trading hours for dollars. He also shared his experience with finding a coaching model, creating a membership program, building customized client software, and more. I found this all very exciting because making things simpler for your clients (and yourself) is powerful.   “Success is always on the other side of your discomfort… There is always going to be a big unknown… embrace it.” – Dan Purcell What You’ll Learn From blushing to brave Leveraging your genius Finding the right business model Trading hours for dollars Building customized software Addressing pain points Allowing it to come together Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

As coaches, there are always additional challenges when it comes to physical pain and trauma responses. We want to help our clients feel relief and breakthrough in everything they are working through, yet many of us aren’t trained in this area and each of us face our own difficulties. To talk about your nervous system and coaching, I interviewed Body and Mind Life Coach, Betsy Jensen. I first found Betsy when I had a client who raved about the results she’d been experiencing working with Betsy. During our discussion, Betsy shared about how we are empowered to take control, understanding the nervous system, ingrained trauma or protective response, and flight, fight, freeze or fawn (the protective state). She also opened up about her own chronic conditions, her journey away from pain, and the mindset shifts she undertook to achieve her freedom. “It’s getting to that calmer state of the nervous system. And then your body knows how to heal. And then you know how to have conversations with people… [And] you can hold space for someone else. You can be that safe place.” – Betsy Jensen What You’ll Learn Chronic conditions and psychosomatic symptoms Empowered to take control Understanding the nervous system Ingrained trauma or protective responses Awareness of automatic (subconscious) responses Connecting with the nervous system Be gentle to yourself Simple ways to regulate yourself Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

As a former Physical Therapist, she had been working with people in pain for over two decades but her own health struggles brought her to the mind-body approach.

Finding the main bottleneck, road block or slow down in your business can sometimes be difficult. You may feel like numerous things are going wrong. And when it feels all-encompassing, you may find yourself paralyzed by inaction or frantically trying numerous solutions. But what if you could unravel things, pinpoint and deal with your main issue?

The dream of making that first $10k may seem out of reach. You may be wondering how to even start toward attaining that goal. Or you may even question why you should try for such a large goal? Perhaps you have already attained it but now you’re wondering how to scale even more. No matter where you are on your business journey, I want to offer an acceleration method to help you to that $10k level and beyond. Before we get to how, it’s important to solidify why it matters. The reason is simple, yet profound: this is part of your foundation. There are inherent benefits in achieving $10k and beyond that exceed just the obvious benefits of more income. So let’s talk about this. “It’s much more than money. Making your first $10k, and what you build within yourself in that $10k, matters.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Why $10k?: Foundations you create Changes in you Proof of concept: you can make money Clarity in your genius Perfect multiplier Contact Info and Recommended Resources Make Your First or Next $10k Master Class – join this FREE Master Class with Molly on Thursday, May 25, 2023 at 11 a.m. Central Time: mollyclaire.com/make-your-first-10k-masterclass Are you a mission-centered Life Coach ready to build your profitable + purposeful business?

For many of us, bookkeeping and accounting–money in general–can bring up a wide range of strong emotions. You might feel intimidation, uncertainty, discomfort or even anxiety. It can be overwhelming enough to handle your personal finances but now you also have your business finances. To talk about this critical foundation, I interviewed Ashley Ford, owner of Pretty Penny, LLC for this sixth episode in my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series. As an expert in small business accounting, Ashley shared about limiting beliefs, missing tax deductions, how understanding your numbers get easier, and ways to romanticize your finances. I hope this discussion brings you some peace in the area of your financial foundation. “We’re running a marathon, not a sprint. We’re in this for the long game. Which means you don’t have to have everything figured out from the beginning, you have a lot of time to continue to evolve, to continue to learn, and to continue to get better at the different parts of your business. And finances is no different.” – Ashley Ford What You’ll Learn Limiting beliefs: Traditional narrative told to women about finances Just be you to attract your people Missing tax deductions Not a sprint Understanding your numbers gets easier Shake those nerves and do it now Romanticize your finances Contact Info and Recommended Resources Are you a mission-centered Life Coach ready to build your profitable + purposeful business?

You don’t have to have all the skills perfect to get started in your business. In fact, you really should be moving your business forward while continuing to acquire skills. So if you don’t have everything quite there yet, or even if you haven’t yet figured everything out, it’s really okay. For this fifth episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I focused on outlining a method for auditing your skills. It will help identify where you’re currently at in skill mastery, what skills you need to learn, and how to prioritize those skills. Through this method, I hope you’ll gain confidence as well as direction on what to put your time and money into first, then second, and so on. By knowing better where to concentrate, you can build your business with less stress and uncertainty. “When you wonder if you'll really do it in this business, how you’ll do it, and if this will work, you can know that the solution lies in the awareness of the skills you need to build.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Brave making a list  Awareness Confidence Ever-changing How to prioritize Where you are now Current business needs Long term desires Two examples Identifying skills and addressing roadblocks How to move through your list One step at a time, but some simultaneously Question 1: Effective or not?

Two of the foundational pieces for coaches these days is an online presence and branding. After all, how will you quickly reach more of those people who need you without leveraging technology? And how will they know you’re right for them without powerful, accurate branding? If these two things feel intimidating or overwhelming to you, never fear. I invited Jennie Lakenan and Deena Rutter on this fourth episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series to give us some direction. Plus, these ladies work together and both offer services that don’t take a lot of time or money. In this dual interview, Deena shared some easy tips around branding and how it doesn't need to be elaborate, and Jennie focused on the basics you need to establish an online presence. I hope you’ll find the information they share both compelling and calming because you can do these two things!  “If a coach knows they want to build their business – and it matters, and you have that mission to help people and make your life better, all those things – don’t let these little things like branding and logo and tech stop you because it’s way easier than you think.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Partnerships with autonomy Attractive design doesn’t need to be complex Choose what you like Be constrained Walk through step-by-step Individualized and unique Stop overthinking it Website creation and maintenance doesn’t need to overwhelm you Find other ways Streamlined, one-page works great Friendly photos A way to schedule with you A way to capture interest Contact Info and Recommended Resources FREE WEBINAR WORKSHOP WITH MOLLY!

As we continue this Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I want to dedicate this third episode to the idea of CEO mindset. For this, I offer 5 concepts. However, prior to considering them, you must first own and solidify the truth that you are, in fact, a CEO.  If you are coaching others as a business, and not simply an enjoyable hobby, you are the CEO of your business. But this, for most people, is a huge identity shift. It can feel intimidating, even foreign, and as I discuss it, it may feel like I must be referring to someone else. But I assure you, I am talking to you. So envision this new version of you, and let’s talk about embracing a strong CEO mindset as a foundation for your business. “When you know where you’re going… and what needs to shift and come together… it allows you to move up… with greater clarity, greater stability and greater ease.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Embracing the truth that you’re a CEO 5 Concepts of a Strong CEO Mindset #1: C.E.O. = Creating Every Opportunity Types of opportunities Not overdoing #2: How you make decisions Fear of trusting yourself / making mistakes What will serve you well #3: You are the boss Choose what kind you’ll be Step up and own that energy #4: Define the roles that you play Be in the proper role at the appropriate time Segment, fill skill gaps, and reject assumption #5: Uplevel, uplevel, uplevel Don’t shun support Identify how and when you’ll increase your skills Contact Info and Recommended Resources Are you a mission-centered Life Coach ready to build your profitable + purposeful business?
