Ep. 353 Lifelong Learner Series: What The Prosperous Coach Gets Right (and What We Don’t)

Hello friends! Teresa here with my co-host, Erica Vinson. Today we’re kicking off a recurring “Lifelong Learner” series—quick, honest chats about resources shaping us as coaches. First up is a classic in the coaching world: The Prosperous Coach by Steve Chandler & Rich Litvin.A quick note: at the time of our recording, the book happened to be discounted online—prices change, so check current listings. More importantly, we don’t agree with everything in the book (no book is the Gospel 🙃), but there are some ideas worth wrestling with—especially for Christian coaches who want to serve deeply and also build a sustainable practice.Here are the 3 big takeaways we unpack together:Clients are created, not attracted.You don’t “get” or “attract” clients—you create clients in real conversations. We talk about replacing passive tactics with genuine connection, modeling good coaching presence in everyday life, and letting transformation—not transactions—lead.Don’t charge for what you do—charge for what’s possible.Pricing isn’t about hours; it’s about the created future your coaching helps unlock (breakthroughs, clarity, and sustainable practices). We offer language shifts (from “cost” to “investment”) and talk candidly about money mindset as Christian coaches.Who are you being?Your presence speaks louder than your pitch. We share stories about congruency, integrity, and letting people experience the power of coaching before you “explain” coaching. In short: let your walk talk.If you’re sensing it’s time to strengthen your being so your doing flows with clarity and peace, we’d love to journey with you.Learn about the REALIFE Process® Coach Certification and upcoming cohorts: therealifeprocess.com/get-certifiedJoin our free community and say hello: therealifeprocess.comQuestion for you: What’s one belief about finding clients or pricing your coaching that you want to revisit with God this week?Scripture to sit with: “Let your light shine before others…” (Matthew 5:16)Key Moments00:00 Welcome + the “Lifelong Learner” series04:40 Why this book and what we do/don’t align with09:15 Takeaway #1: Clients are created in conversation18:20 Takeaway #2: Value vs. hours (default vs. created future)28:10 Takeaway #3: Who are you being?

Ep. 352 - Do I Always Have to Be “On” as a Coach? Stewarding Time, Not Hustle

Do you ever feel like you need to be “on” as a coach 24/7? In this episode of REALIFE Conversation for Christian Coaches, we unpack the myth that constant hustle equals success. We look at what Scripture says about time (hello, Psalm 90:12), name the mindset traps that speed us up, and walk through a practical, grace-filled way to steward your time so your business grows—and your soul can breathe.We Talk AboutThe difference between busyness and fruitfulnessHow comparison and community can unintentionally speed us upWhy “constant hustle” is a false belief for Christian coaches Stewarding time vs. managing time—partnering with God in your businessThe 4 Time Blocks from the REALIFE Process:Present Blocks (soul care/self-care, time with God, health)People Blocks (life-giving relationships, connection, community)Project Blocks (90-day priorities with real action steps)Prep Blocks (admin/tasks with clear start/stop)Practical guardrails: deciding weekly coaching capacity, pre-deciding booking windows, and noticing signs you’re overworking (sleep, resentment, constant multitasking)Naming your unique voice and choosing aligned ways to be in the marketplace (social presence, teaching, local connections, etc.)A gentle invitation to pause and notice where God is inviting you to steward time differently this weekScripture + QuotesPsalm 90:12 — “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”“Busyness is not the same as fruitfulness.”Resources MentionedREALIFE Process® Book Resources (time framework, mind map, more): therealifeprocess.com/bookresourcesREALIFE Process® Coach Certification (use our tools in your practice): [link in show notes]The Prayer Powered Entrepreneur by Kim AveryTime Stamps00:00 – Welcome + why this topic matters03:10 – Busyness vs. fruitfulness (and how tech keeps us “on”)08:25 – Comparison, community, and the hustle myth15:30 – Stewardship > grind: partnering with God in your business20:45 – Capacity, boundaries, and booking rhythms that fit your life27:40 – The 4 Time Blocks (Present, People, Project, Prep)41:10 – Signs you’re overworking—and how to course-correct47:20 – A permission slip to pause + this week’s reflectionTry This This WeekAsk: “Where is God inviting me to steward my time differently?”Pick one small, loving change (a Present Block, a People Block, or a tighter coaching window) and live it for seven days.Connect with UsLearn more / Get Certified: therealifeprocess.com/getcertifiedBook Resources & Free Tools: therealifeprocess.com/bookresorucesFREE RESOURCES:Take the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
