In these previous blog posts we talked about the first 3 of 6 steps needed to launch your coaching business:

• Step 1 & 2: Who You're meant to help & How to Start Your Online Coaching Business HERE
• Step 3: Confidence to Start Your Online Coaching Business HERE

Step 4 - craft your amazing offer is about to come up here

BUT FIRST - get the full training & workbook delivered to you free:

There's a few things that go into crafting an offer - when I work 1:1 with a client for a 1 week, 1 month or the full Biz Well Program which helps new coaches create aligned offers, we dive really deep into all things offer (who it's for, what's their transformation, what's the name we're giving it, how is it delivered for example is this a 1:1 offer, a course, or a group coaching and lastly pricing how to get really ninja with pricing.)

BUT I probably just blew the fire hose at you - yes we can cover all those things together, but you can make an incredible offer right...

There's been a few times now when it comes to planning out what to share in a podcast, a post, a business growth strategy, I hit a wall.

I always just say I don't know if I want to do this right now...and if you knew me from 2015-2021, I was very much a 'do your crap' kind of network marketer.  Meaning, I had a list, I worked from it, and I did check off every single box, every single day, no matter what.

But last year, in 2022, I said no more.  I just cannot do that anymore becuase while it worked in the beginning, it's not working now.

So when I went to write this post and share it as a podcast, this is the exact words that ran through my head over and over and over again: 

"God, I just want to talk about Jesus, well, really the Holy Spirit because He's the one here, with us, right now."

God clearly asked me to STOP WORKING and it feels like a LOT of feels. Scared, excited, upset, disappointed in self, encouraged, joyful - ALL of them

Last week...

Last week on the blog we talked about the first two steps to start your coaching business...this is going to be about the third step...

Confidence to actually pursue what you've been called to pursue.

It's time to declare this over your life:  This year, I will stick to what God has called me to do, to be.  And my attitude & my activities agree with the call on my life.

Speak that out loud 3 times!

So you know you've had this idea on your mind to start a coaching business. You want to mentor others with a skill set that you have, but then you're floored with all these insecurities:

• - this has already been done before
• - I see another coach doing this and she/he is SO talented, so skilled
• - I have never helped anyone else through this but myself

I get it, there is so much unknown, but let me make this short, simple, and to the point for you.

The truth about where you are is this....

You have this idea that you cannot get out of your mind, but...

One of the very first actions to make when you launch a coaching business is to figure out two key components:

1. Who are you meant to help?
2. How are you meant to help them?

Sounds simple, right?

If you are called to coach then you may already have know exactly who you were meant to serve in the beginning, but that's not the case for everyone.

....let's dive in....

Knowing who we want to help and how we want to help them is not actually the case for most of us.

I get it, you're probably saying, but Tamara I know I'm supposed to help moms!  Or but Tamara, I am called to help women heal their relationships with money!

Amazing. I want you to do that.

But what I want more is for you to get SO specific that I would actually know if I was the mom you...

You've probably been here before thinking, man why didn't I invent that, or better yet, I thought about doing that but never took action on my idea!

Insert you sweating thinking about the nerves that would hit if you actually had a "Shark Tank" moment, bringing your idea in front of people who are going to judge you, your mindset, and your abilities.

Woah.

No wonder most of us never take our ideas for a business into action... I got squirms in my stomach thinking about how that would feel!

Thankfully, we don't have to be judged by others on national television in order to find out if our idea will make it or not.

YIKES! You get me here...right ;) 

It's time to talk about actually going forth with the ideas you have for your life. For your relationships. For your business. It's time for you to make the first $10K in your coaching business!

When we Fast, does it always need to be food?

that's a loaded question, but, to me, the answer is simple...what has God asked you to fast?

In this recorded episode you'll hear me dive deeper into the principles of fasting & share how you can stair-step your way into a fast, use non-food  fasting, & hear powerful stories behind food fasts.

Have you searched Pinterest for "Work from Home ideas?" I have!

Did you search on Google "data entry jobs" or "flexible work from home jobs" at any point? I have!

I LOVE helping people get CREATIVE & EXCITED about what they are spending their time doing to help themselves & their families, but we don’t have space in this one blog post to really dive into it all BUT if you download my "Multiple Income Stream Blueprint" pdf, I help you get into some amazing ways to make extra money from home.

WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU WANT ANOTHER INCOME STREAM:

FIRST: It's helpful to understand what your personally available for  meaning how much time and energy do you want to spend & to what extend do you want to bring in cash:

• 1-3 hours a week:  Looking to make just a little extra here and there, but not be committed to any structured amount of time:
  • Selling things
  • Cash back apps
  • Complete online surveys
• 5-20 hours a week:  Open to having more of a ‘work...

Hey there friend!

By “she,” I mean ME.

I was the girl that asked a billion questions when I first joined my team as a wellness coach. While I was worried in the beginning that my coach was rolling her eyes every time I shot over another question about how to run a successful online business, I know that wasn’t the case. Because my coach and my entire upline is full of some of the most positive, kind-hearted, supportive people I know.

You know the saying about how you are an average of the 5 people you spend the most time with? Well in that case, ever since I dropped my ego and shifted into learning mode to become a wellness coach (May of 2015) I feel I’ve been doing pretty dang well.

And when it comes to anything in life, working on your health, growing as a person, having a social life, starting a business, taking the next career step...this remains true. No matter where you are in life or what you’re working on, it’s so dang important to...

I'm having some amazing women coming to to me, hopping on phone calls and discussing their needs for physical health, emotional health, an outlet from motherhood, money for their family, theyare ready to sign up and be a part of our amazing Team Beachbody Team, Be Well Tribe,  and then fear hits.

• Fear that you won't "find enough people to help"
• Fear that you don't know enough yet about the products we offer so you can't obviously "sell them"
• Fear what your spouse & friends will think

Trust me girl, I had all those fears (and more), and I've found that none of them really mattered. I know WAY easier to say than to believe...but hear me out,  what mattered was this...

• I wanted a job that I liked.
• I wanted flexibility.
• I wanted to feel appreciated for my work.
• I wanted to work on my own personal growth
• I did not want to dread time away from my kids for work that I did not enjoy.

I had goals - big goals!
