I see it all the time in the online coaching space - this idea that you can just post to social media with fun memes and an occasional offer to work with you, and you’ll make money.  

Can we stop with the idea that building a business online is that ridiculous?  If it were that easy, everyone would be making more, and not trying to figure out how to get more clients.  

First of all, we can’t put all of our eggs in one basket and think that social media is the answer.  There is so much more to building a successful coaching business, and social media is only a small part of it.  

One of the most important - and often overlooked misconceptions is our relationship with our finances and how we are investing.  The money you’re currently making in your business is a direct reflection of your relationship with finances, and something I highly recommend looking at regularly. 

If you want to make more money, then you need to upgrade your relationship. 

Here are a few things to think about:

• If you’re waiting to invest in yourself until you have more clients or more money…

• If you’re trying to save money to invest in your growth you’re going to grow as slowly as your savings account grows…

• If you think you can figure it out on your own and hire a coach later…

• If you choose to wait because it’s not the right time, or you’re too busy…

• If you harbour resentment against past investments that didn’t work out the way you wanted them to…

… Your potential clients will reflect this back to you and have the EXACT. SAME. OBJECTIONS. 

You must believe that creating more dollars and prosperity in your business is inevitable.  You must be willing to invest in yourself, even when you don’t know where your next client is coming from.  You must be willing to be coached if you want to coach others.  You must be willing to make time for your dreams if you want others to invest in doing the same. 

You’ve got to be willing to put your faith in yourself first and move your investment energy into your business.  If you’re struggling to get clients to invest in working with you, have you checked in with the energetics of how you’re operating?  Let me know in the comments if this resonates.
