This is part one of a series where I’ll dive in to the pros and cons of coaching vs. influencing.I’ve got a unique perspective on both industries.. because I’ve been both! I’ve worked with brands as an influencer and worked in the industry for 6 years doing sales. Later, I built a successful online coaching business, which I still do today.

Coaching gave me insight into new pathways to monetize without third parties and how to really use your zone of genius.Now, I want to share exactly why I chose this route, why I don’t desire to be an influencer, and my POV on the ultimate question - can you do both?In Part 1, a non-sugar-coated summary will enter your ears. You’ll get a real BTS look into the life of a coach. Part 2 (coming out next week) will focus on the life of an influencer.In this episode, I discuss: How coaching allows you to make your own rules Building a flex business that evolves with you The limitless revenue streams of coaching The overwhelming learning curve that you may be navigating alone Constantly investing because the coaching industry over-emphasizes financial success How to know if coaching is the path for youWant to send a voice note to the podcast and have Chelsea answer you on air?
