I’m going to tell you something that you may not want to hear. I definitely didn’t want to hear it when I was first told this. Yet - it needs to be said, and it needs to be HEARD. By you. By everyone who is either working with a coach currently, or about to hire one. This is the absolute truth: Hiring a coach is not a get-out-of-jail-free card. Hiring a coach because you think that by doing so will somehow magically SAVE you, is a mistake. A costly one. Your coach? Her job is NOT to save you. It’s not to give you a little map to follow and if you do so, you will 100% guarantee you get the result you want. This is not possible, because your coach is not you. Only you can do the work. Only you can fully commit. Only you can believe in yourself. Only you can trust. Only YOU can get the results. I used to be so terrified when I’d start working with new clients, because I would accept responsibility for their results, when it was not my job to do so. I now see that I was doing these clients a huge disservice by not giving them what it was they really, truly needed - which was motivation, encouragement, and support.

Often, I find that many people who buy from me for the first time say something along the lines of “I’ve been following you for years”… meaning they’ve followed, read, learned, consumed, and grown, from the content I’ve shared for years before they ever bought anything. If I’d stopped after a few months because no one was buying, that sale would have never come through. Not everyone is going to wait years before they buy from you, of course. Some will buy straight away. Many will buy shortly after finding you and getting some kind of value from what you’re sharing. The point, though, is to KEEP ON SHARING. Because you never know just how much you’re helping someone. Lack of likes or comments or responses to your work, doesn’t mean it’s bad or that no one likes it. There will always be those who consume in silence. Who get value from what you share, but who never engage or say anything. Until one day, they hover over that “buy now” button, and they do, in fact, BUY. Keep showing up. Keep sharing. Keep selling. Because you just never know when that day will...
