Formulating the perfect sales page or website copy that motivates and inspires people to become your client can be a struggle. Especially if you’re not exactly sure how to word clear copy that converts or if you’ve tried various iterations and haven’t enjoyed much success. Since this is a common struggle for entrepreneurs, I chatted with Kris Jones, StoryBrand guide and Founder of Red Door Designs. In our interview, Kris explained the power of story and why it’s universally compelling. We also discussed why it’s not your story and Kris shared three steps to get unstuck when writing your copy. Since recording this episode with Kris, I have experienced her expertise in assisting with my own new offering, Create A Killer Program For Your Clients. I have to say that I am thrilled with the results and how easy it all was. “[Your listeners] are not the hero. They are the guide. The guide is the Yoda, or the Mr. Miyagi, or the strongest person in every story. The hero actually is the weakest character in the story because they have a problem they don’t know how to overcome… They need a guide.” – Kris Jones What You’ll Learn Necessity of your authentic voice The power of story You’re not the hero It’s not your story Techniques for compelling copy 3 steps to get unstuck Inspiring hope Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

No matter what kind of coaching we do, we’re going to encounter clients who’ve experienced some form of trauma. There are simply varying degrees and types. As we do, we may find we need a deeper understanding and skill set around being a trauma informed coach. And we may even find we need to delve into trauma healing for ourselves. Since this is such a sensitive and important topic, I wanted to interview Lindsay Poelman, a specialized Trauma Coach who trains other coaches to become Trauma-Informed.. As Lindsay and I talked, we discussed the stress around starting a business, blending the cognitive and the intuitive, and returning to yourself. Lindsay also shared about getting to safety, redirecting from external to internal, and the benefits of being trauma informed.  “We can move through the emotions that maybe aren’t as pleasant. Learning the ability to access that and move through those can really access those ones we all dream of having. And you can experience joy and ecstasy from a settled place.” – Lindsay Poelman What You’ll Learn Stress of starting a business Blending cognitive and intuitive Returning to yourself Getting to safety Redirecting from external to internal Being trauma informed Honoring yourself betters society Contact Info and Recommended Resources FREE Webinar Masterclass with Molly:  How to Create a Killer Program for your Clients that Creates Results Monday, August 7 at 11 CT Don’t you love the idea of leading your business with service and results?

You’re in the business of helping people and changing lives. But you can’t help anyone if they don’t know what you can do for them, so you need clarity in what you’ll deliver. But before you can have clarity in what you’ll deliver and the results clients can expect, you need to have a well-organized program. After all, if your program isn’t organized in a way that is effective, none of it is any good. That’s why in this Business Foundations additional episode, I address the power of an effective coaching program. Not only will you have the joy of helping people when your program (that is, what you’ll deliver to a client) is absolutely crystal clear and working smoothly, you’ll also have the comfort of easier marketing. When you’re completely sold on and confident in what you’re offering, you can’t help but sell it. “Having an amazing program that is clear, that is powerful, that is effective, will be worth every bit of time, energy and money spent on making it happen.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Joy of providing exactly what your clients need A Program vs An Offer Program (clarity for you): Deliverables: videos, worksheets, coaching sessions, similar Results: actual outcomes and goals Offer (clarity for your client): Articulating deliverables Articulating expected results and goals Clarity in your program and offer will assuage: Inconfidence Fear Insuring client work works Meet them where they are Articulate personalized results Customize accountability or progress tracking Clear structures Confidence and competence in your results Contact Info and Recommended Resources FREE Webinar Masterclass:  How to Create a Killer Program for your Clients that Creates Results Monday, August 7 at 11 CT Don’t you love the idea of leading your business with service and results?

As entrepreneurs, it can be quite difficult for us to take the right kind of rest. Countless things vie for our time and attention. And even when we do manage some downtime, we can be plagued by feelings of guilt,  restlessness or even fear. But what if taking the right kind of rest could actually increase your productivity, creativity and ability to problem solve? With these questions in mind, I interviewed Alyson Caffrey, a small business Operations Strategist, the  Bestselling Author of The Sabbatical Method, and the founder of Operations Agency. First, Alyson and I discussed how women, especially, feel we have to justify rest. Then Alyson related several powerful truths, including acclimating to ascend, building a business to thrive without you, channeling a sabbatical personality, and acting rather than reacting. “If we’re building a business that can’t function without us, then we might need to reconcile with the fact that we could be building a personal life that can.” – Alyson Caffrey What You’ll Learn 30,000 foot view Acclimate to ascend (repair to build) Thriving without you Taking a break before you crumble Sabbatical personalities Standardizing to serve clients more Action not reaction Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

In fact, at first our coaching journeys often start out somewhat self-serving. We learn because we’re passionate about a particular aspect of life, typically one we’ve personally experienced. And when we’re able to couple that with an existing area of our genius, magical things happen.  To discuss this and more, I interviewed Dan Purcell. Along with his wife, Emily, Dan is the founder of Get Your Marriage On!, a marriage intimacy improvement coaching company and Virgo Development, a software development company. While we talked, Dan discussed pushing through discomfort, leveraging your genius, and no longer trading hours for dollars. He also shared his experience with finding a coaching model, creating a membership program, building customized client software, and more. I found this all very exciting because making things simpler for your clients (and yourself) is powerful.   “Success is always on the other side of your discomfort… There is always going to be a big unknown… embrace it.” – Dan Purcell What You’ll Learn From blushing to brave Leveraging your genius Finding the right business model Trading hours for dollars Building customized software Addressing pain points Allowing it to come together Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

As coaches, there are always additional challenges when it comes to physical pain and trauma responses. We want to help our clients feel relief and breakthrough in everything they are working through, yet many of us aren’t trained in this area and each of us face our own difficulties. To talk about your nervous system and coaching, I interviewed Body and Mind Life Coach, Betsy Jensen. I first found Betsy when I had a client who raved about the results she’d been experiencing working with Betsy. During our discussion, Betsy shared about how we are empowered to take control, understanding the nervous system, ingrained trauma or protective response, and flight, fight, freeze or fawn (the protective state). She also opened up about her own chronic conditions, her journey away from pain, and the mindset shifts she undertook to achieve her freedom. “It’s getting to that calmer state of the nervous system. And then your body knows how to heal. And then you know how to have conversations with people… [And] you can hold space for someone else. You can be that safe place.” – Betsy Jensen What You’ll Learn Chronic conditions and psychosomatic symptoms Empowered to take control Understanding the nervous system Ingrained trauma or protective responses Awareness of automatic (subconscious) responses Connecting with the nervous system Be gentle to yourself Simple ways to regulate yourself Contact Info and Recommended Resources I highly recommend you listen to every episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.

Finding the main bottleneck, road block or slow down in your business can sometimes be difficult. You may feel like numerous things are going wrong. And when it feels all-encompassing, you may find yourself paralyzed by inaction or frantically trying numerous solutions. But what if you could unravel things, pinpoint and deal with your main issue? What might change for you? What might that unlock for moving your business forward?

The dream of making that first $10k may seem out of reach. You may be wondering how to even start toward attaining that goal. Or you may even question why you should try for such a large goal? Perhaps you have already attained it but now you’re wondering how to scale even more. No matter where you are on your business journey, I want to offer an acceleration method to help you to that $10k level and beyond. Before we get to how, it’s important to solidify why it matters. The reason is simple, yet profound: this is part of your foundation. There are inherent benefits in achieving $10k and beyond that exceed just the obvious benefits of more income. So let’s talk about this. “It’s much more than money.

For many of us, bookkeeping and accounting–money in general–can bring up a wide range of strong emotions. You might feel intimidation, uncertainty, discomfort or even anxiety. It can be overwhelming enough to handle your personal finances but now you also have your business finances. To talk about this critical foundation, I interviewed Ashley Ford, owner of Pretty Penny, LLC for this sixth episode in my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series. As an expert in small business accounting, Ashley shared about limiting beliefs, missing tax deductions, how understanding your numbers get easier, and ways to romanticize your finances. I hope this discussion brings you some peace in the area of your financial foundation. “We’re running a marathon, not a sprint. We’re in this for the long game. Which means you don’t have to have everything figured out from the beginning, you have a lot of time to continue to evolve, to continue to learn, and to continue to get better at the different parts of your business. And finances is no different.” – Ashley Ford What You’ll Learn Limiting beliefs: Traditional narrative told to women about finances Just be you to attract your people Missing tax deductions Not a sprint Understanding your numbers gets easier Shake those nerves and do it now Romanticize your finances Contact Info and Recommended Resources Are you a mission-centered Life Coach ready to build your profitable + purposeful business?

You don’t have to have all the skills perfect to get started in your business. In fact, you really should be moving your business forward while continuing to acquire skills. So if you don’t have everything quite there yet, or even if you haven’t yet figured everything out, it’s really okay. For this fifth episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I focused on outlining a method for auditing your skills. It will help identify where you’re currently at in skill mastery, what skills you need to learn, and how to prioritize those skills. Through this method, I hope you’ll gain confidence as well as direction on what to put your time and money into first, then second, and so on. By knowing better where to concentrate, you can build your business with less stress and uncertainty. “When you wonder if you'll really do it in this business, how you’ll do it, and if this will work, you can know that the solution lies in the awareness of the skills you need to build.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Brave making a list  Awareness Confidence Ever-changing How to prioritize Where you are now Current business needs Long term desires Two examples Identifying skills and addressing roadblocks How to move through your list One step at a time, but some simultaneously Question 1: Effective or not?

Two of the foundational pieces for coaches these days is an online presence and branding. After all, how will you quickly reach more of those people who need you without leveraging technology? And how will they know you’re right for them without powerful, accurate branding? If these two things feel intimidating or overwhelming to you, never fear. I invited Jennie Lakenan and Deena Rutter on this fourth episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series to give us some direction. Plus, these ladies work together and both offer services that don’t take a lot of time or money. In this dual interview, Deena shared some easy tips around branding and how it doesn't need to be elaborate, and Jennie focused on the basics you need to establish an online presence. I hope you’ll find the information they share both compelling and calming because you can do these two things!  “If a coach knows they want to build their business – and it matters, and you have that mission to help people and make your life better, all those things – don’t let these little things like branding and logo and tech stop you because it’s way easier than you think.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Partnerships with autonomy Attractive design doesn’t need to be complex Choose what you like Be constrained Walk through step-by-step Individualized and unique Stop overthinking it Website creation and maintenance doesn’t need to overwhelm you Find other ways Streamlined, one-page works great Friendly photos A way to schedule with you A way to capture interest Contact Info and Recommended Resources FREE WEBINAR WORKSHOP WITH MOLLY!

As we continue this Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I want to dedicate this third episode to the idea of CEO mindset. For this, I offer 5 concepts. However, prior to considering them, you must first own and solidify the truth that you are, in fact, a CEO.  If you are coaching others as a business, and not simply an enjoyable hobby, you are the CEO of your business. But this, for most people, is a huge identity shift. It can feel intimidating, even foreign, and as I discuss it, it may feel like I must be referring to someone else. But I assure you, I am talking to you. So envision this new version of you, and let’s talk about embracing a strong CEO mindset as a foundation for your business. “When you know where you’re going… and what needs to shift and come together… it allows you to move up… with greater clarity, greater stability and greater ease.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Embracing the truth that you’re a CEO 5 Concepts of a Strong CEO Mindset #1: C.E.O. = Creating Every Opportunity Types of opportunities Not overdoing #2: How you make decisions Fear of trusting yourself / making mistakes What will serve you well #3: You are the boss Choose what kind you’ll be Step up and own that energy #4: Define the roles that you play Be in the proper role at the appropriate time Segment, fill skill gaps, and reject assumption #5: Uplevel, uplevel, uplevel Don’t shun support Identify how and when you’ll increase your skills Contact Info and Recommended Resources Are you a mission-centered Life Coach ready to build your profitable + purposeful business?

But, if one area isn’t strong, if it’s breaking down, it will affect the others.  That's why I’m launching this new series, Foundations for Your Coaching Business. I’ll have multiple guests to discuss various topics including finances, legal, tech, branding, and more. In this episode, I address the fundamentals. Because without firm foundations, you'll find yourself floundering a bit. Now, before we begin, allow me to encourage you: if you've struggled at all in this area, it's never too early or too late to set up and reinforce your foundation. “What I want to offer you is that you can get to work, and you can do your business, and you can do your skills, and you can move forward… and you don’t have to wait until you’ve solved everything inside of you to build a business.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Foundations in coaching skill mastery Confidence it delivers Fills skill gaps Foundations in business Longer but simpler list Lower fraud complex Strong starting point Foundations in personal life Invisible things Take a pause You matter Contact Info and Recommended Resources Podcast episodes that pair well with this one:  5 Traits of a Masterful Coach: How are you doing? 10 Tips for Master-Level Coaching Connect with Molly Claire Drop me a comment or question: Instagram | Molly Claire Coaching IG  [email protected] Facebook I’d love to hear your feedback about the podcast: Please leave a review of The Masterful Coach on your favorite podcast platform.

The empowerment and energy to be the breadwinner in your own life is what lights up many female entrepreneurs. It is what drives them. Myself included. I recall, vividly, that feeling of helplessness and financial dependence I suffered when I went through my divorce. I was becoming a single mom and had no idea how I was going to provide for myself and my children.  Someone who can relate very well with my experience is Tay Daniels, a podcaster and Certified Life and Business Mentor of women who are ready to become 6-figure CEOs. Tay, like me, built her business through her divorce and entry into the world of a single motherhood. Also like me, she discovered her strength of inner spirit to make her own money so she could have what she wanted in her life. She relates how that fueled her to not only succeed for herself and her daughter but for other women out there.  “Breadwinner energy is not just money… it is literally the way that you feel. It is the way that you show up… the way you carry yourself… loving yourself, loving your life… When you do that, and you really fully step into that power of yourself, you become financially independent.” – Tay Daniels What You’ll Learn Limiting our female breadwinning Breadwinner energy – what it is and what it’s not Investing in your freedom Information or transformation Holding a standard in pricing Not tying to your “worth” You’re not lower than others Sticking with it Contact Info and Recommended Resources Podcast episodes that pair well with this one:  How to charge for coaching even when you're scared to  Women Rising Above Limiting Beliefs Together Connect with Tay Daniels Tay is a multi-business owning wife and mom living in the Midwest, host of the Breadwinner Energy Podcast, and Certified Life & Business Mentor for women who are ready to become a 6-Figure Sustainable CEO.

As humans, we all seek validation. But seeking it from your clients is a trap that can sabotage your coaching. Not only does it shift your focus from where it should be (on your client), it creates highs and lows in your coaching. Unfortunately, it can be easy to have validation trap tendencies and not even know it, so please don’t judge yourself too harshly.  In this episode, I share numerous ways to identify this trap, recognize if you’re slipping, and avoid the temptation. Mastering this valuable coaching skill will serve you well throughout your career, plus increase your overall success. “Wanting validation is very normal… it’s only because you are a helper type of person… that’s not anything you need to judge yourself about… [but] have awareness of it so that you can decide what to do about it.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn 3  Validation Trap Lessons: #1 - Identifying the trap Pleaser role Misplaced focus Safe space interruption Positive responses sought Inhibited honesty Suppressed empowerment #2 - Recognizing you’re trapped Helpful confirmation Praise high Uncomfortable with another focus Unnecessary validation #3 - Avoiding the trap Don’t take credit Hold curiosity Define separate success Appropriate space Contact Info and Recommended Resources Advanced Certification Training in Motherhood and Family Life – Enrollment is OPEN but there are ONLY 12 SPOTS.

It can be argued that moms are the most difficult to convince that they need–and deserve– personal coaching. They are, perhaps, the most wired to set aside their own needs and focus on others. As a whole, moms find it very difficult to invest time, money, and energy into prioritizing themselves. As we tackle this reality together, I want to examine three issues that might be barriers to new clients signing up with you. In considering each of them, I hope some insights emerge, enabling you to connect on a more personal level with potential clients. By knowing why moms won’t pay for coaching, you can better market your ability to help them… and help them say yes. “These women you’re talking to – struggling with motherhood and life and their relationships and all the things – they don’t really believe that something different is possible… [or] how much better and more expanded their life could be.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Two complementary buckets of skill mastery Issue #1: Dissolving the fraud complex barrier Issue #2: Dismantling coach speak Issue #3: Discovering different is possible Contact Info and Recommended Resources Mom Coach Webinar with Molly (it’s FREE!): Monday, March 20, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. (Central Time).

Whether you specifically coach parents or you simply have clients who are parents, you’ll want to listen to this episode. You’ll bank some essential skills for coaching moms (or women in general) revolving around things like how quick wins open the door to deep work, and how ‘know, like, trust’ is more than a marketing technique.  With me on the podcast to explain and expound on these 5 essential skills to coach moms is Conscious Parenting Coach, Mikki Garder. Mikki shares about encouraging moms through minimum baselines, the importance of awareness, agency, and action, being driven by love rather than fear, and much more. “We talk a lot in the coaching space about the ‘know, like, trust’ form of marketing… It's kind of the same for moms. They have to learn to know, like and trust themselves for them to be able to show up the way they want.” – Mikki Gardner What You’ll Learn #1 - Facilitating quick wins Minimum baselines Opening the door to deep work #2 - Creating more self connection Awareness, agency, action Know, like, trust #3 - Employing adaptability A full contact sport Rejecting societal pushes #4 - Reversing invalidation Balancing internal and external validation Driven by love, not fear #5 - Analyzing relationship dynamics Adjusting and challenging paradigms Acknowledging psychological crossover Contact Info and Recommended Resources Mom Coach Webinar with Molly (it’s FREE!): Monday, March 20, 2023 at 12:00 p.m. (Central Time).

Giving your clients some quick and easy wins to encourage them, knowing how and when to go deeper, making things understandable and digestible – these are skills we learn. As a coach, you have the power to enact amazing change but clients need to be ready for what you have to offer and be able to understand it. So you need to tune into the right time and tactics. To discuss all this, I interviewed Corinne Crabtree, a master coach, the CEO and founder of No BS Weightloss, and host of the Losing 100 Pounds with Corinne podcast. Corinne has a passion for helping women change generational health and wealth issues. She and I talk about the art and joy of increasing our coaching mastery while showing women that there isn’t anything wrong with them and that they can change their lives. Corinne shares blending mindset with tactics, quick wins to combat fear and anxiety, breaking coach-speak, talking like a normal person, and so much more. “We have to get back to basic questions. Like, start with a question that your client can understand. And I spend a lot of time breaking coach-speak… First level mastery is learning how to talk like a normal person.” – Corinne Crabtree What You’ll Learn Tapping into a passion for helping women Blending mindset with tactics Offering quick wins to combat fear and anxiety Talking like a normal person Coaching your coach friends Sharpening your skills with written coaching Leveling up through being coached yourself Contact Info and Recommended Resources FREE 30-Days of Coaching Mastery Skill Tips from Molly at Instagram | Molly Claire Coaching IG Book: The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks and FREE Video: The Big Leap Video   Book: Running on Empty: Overcome Your Childhood Emotional Neglect by Dr. Jonice Webb  Podcast episodes that pair well with this one:  10 Tips for Master-Level Coaching Coaching Skill Mastery: 5 Big Coaching Mistakes Connect with Corinne Crabtree Corinne is a Master Certified Weight and Life Coach with a mission to help every woman break generational curses in order to improve their personal health and wealth.

Confidence, providing transformation, and not getting too stuck in your own head. You need to have a handle on all three to master coaching. But what if your assessment of yourself on a 1 to 10 scale leaves you feeling doubtful?  First of all, having doubts is completely normal. That’s why holding a periodic audit of yourself is extremely valuable. You can identify any areas in which you’re struggling and make a plan to do something about each item. You can also identify areas where you’re doing well and take courage from them. To help you in your progress journey, I want to share 5 big coaching mistakes I see coaches make. Perhaps, using this information I share, you can address each more quickly or maybe even avoid them altogether. “These mistakes can actually be huge obstacles in the way of you having way more effective coaching… as you tweak this, you will notice a big, positive difference.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn 3 questions to assess yourself Confidence in coaching well Providing promised transformation The noise in your head Defining big mistakes 5 big coaching mistakes Discounting nervous system responses Misunderstanding or misusing neutral space Pushing perspective Elevating tools above clients Defining roles Contact Info and Recommended Resources Podcast episodes that pair well with this one:  Confidently Setting Your Ideal Income Goals: An Interview with Amy Latta 10 Tips for Master-Level Coaching Impact and 7-figures: An interview with Katrina Ubell How to charge for coaching even when you're scared to  Connect with Molly Claire Drop me a comment or question:  Instagram | Molly Claire Coaching IG  [email protected] Facebook I’d love to hear your feedback about the podcast: Please leave a review of The Masterful Coach on your favorite podcast platform.

Confidence is often the missing component when setting your ideal income goals. If you don’t believe they’re possible to achieve, if you don’t believe you belong in the “club” of success (however you define success)... you’ll struggle to accomplish your goals, income or otherwise. However, as you work on confidence, it’s also important to check in with yourself: Why do you want what you believe you want? What is fueling your confidence? To talk about all this, I interviewed master life coach, advanced certified feminist coach and podcast host, Amy Latta. Because Amy specializes in helping coaches feel confident and get paid, I knew she would deliver some amazing encouragement and insights. She did not disappoint. Amy shares about flipping on potential, investing versus profit, hugging your dreams, rejecting the should, and so, so much more. This episode is so packed, you’ll probably want to listen to it more than once. “We can go anywhere once we show our minds that we can create a coaching business that makes our life easier right now.” – Amy Latta What You’ll Learn Flipping on potential Investing versus profit Savoring and celebrating Wow and Oww, Gap and Gain Hugging your dreams and your why Rejecting the should Loving your own experience Contact Info and Recommended Resources Podcast episodes that pairs well with this one:  Impact and 7-figures: An interview with Katrina Ubell How to charge for coaching even when you're scared to  Books and Programs: 90 Day Year program and The Oww & Wow Guidebook (FREE download) by Todd Herman The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan Connect with Amy Latta Amy Latta is a confidence master life coach, advanced certified feminist coach and podcast host. She specializes in helping coaches feel confident and get paid. Amy in her own words… “When I began coaching 10 years ago, I invested in every ‘how to be a life coach’ and 'how to be an entrepreneur’ program I could get my hands on. What I really needed was a program that taught me the confidence to be me. To actually believe I could do something I’d never done before. To rely on what I already knew. To set big goals and solve for how to achieve them – without needing the achievement of the goal to verify that I deserve to be in the life coaching space. To stare these rules I’ve been following my whole life in the face. And dismantle every single one of them. So I can finally feel free to create the coaching business that rocks my clients’ worlds and lights me up every day. The programs didn’t exist.

Charging for your coaching can be uncomfortable, maybe even a bit scary. It might feel as though it’s taking away from the good that you’re doing or that, somehow, it doesn’t fit your character because you’re not money-motivated.  But let me assure you, charging for your coaching can fit appropriately and comfortably into your practice, even when you’re scared. Through this episode, I want to help you look differently at charging, as well as share my personal experience with how paying full price for my coach, even when my finances were dismal, brought me so much good and empowerment.  “What is possible for your client when they have the opportunity to put their money on their future?

There’s always a nearly inexhaustible business To Do list. As coaches, our brains naturally bend toward caring for others, toward inner work and healing, yet so much of what we need to do is outer work: sales, marketing, accounting, and the like. For many of us, it’s like learning a foreign language and thus takes a lot of time. But in accomplishing all the business things, are you carving out enough time, booking enough sessions, to bring in the money you need?  In this episode, I share a bit of wisdom regarding how to focus on what makes you money, as I do much more in depth for those in the The 10K Accelerator. I discuss why we don’t always focus on making money, what can get in the way, and how we can address those things differently, so we can make more money. I hope what I cover in this episode helps you get started and that, perhaps, helping you even more personally and specifically is in our future together. “Making a decision about creating a certain result is very powerful.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Reasons we don’t focus on making money Do the money goal math Make that unwavering decision Hold yourself accountable Useful or fearful changes Examine how you think about failure Appropriate action from perceived failure Contact Info and Recommended Resources The 10K Accelerator: Let Molly help you dial in your message and set your goal to make your first 10K or your next 10K.

Getting any kind of break from your growing business may seem impossible. There’s always something that needs attention. As ambitious coaches, determined to accomplish big things for ourselves and our businesses, we can allow far too much time to go by between breathers. We easily assign more to ourselves than any human being can really realistically accomplish. Of course, the biggest danger in this fast-paced, intensely focused business building is we can burn out. That's why it’s not only healthy but it's absolutely essential to learn how to take a break from your business, and how to take it well. Implementing this into my own life, I’ve crafted and successfully executed some mental and practical techniques and steps to smooth both getting away and returning. I’m eager to share these with you, whether you use them for your business, your personal life or both. I hope these concepts are as much of a help to you as they are to me. “When I came back to my desk, I had a lovely welcome letter from myself… Such an amazing gift that I was able to give my future self before taking that time.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Correctly placed worth Dedicate to making space Plan Commit Prepare and execute lists Cover your absence Cover your return Be intentional Support yourself Problem solve Welcome yourself back Gift yourself a letter Organize Download your takeaways Contrast and clarify Leverage fresh perspective Contact Info and Recommended Resources Podcast episode: New Year Transitions: How to Succeed Advanced Certification Training: Join the Waitlist Connect with Molly Claire COACHING BUSINESS A BIT STUCK?

Limiting beliefs can really hold us back but freedom from them is attainable. As coaches, we have the beautiful and life-giving ability to help others unshackle from old beliefs. We can help them form and embrace new beliefs that propel them onto better things. Since limiting beliefs touch every area of our clients’ lives, you’re bound to bump into areas that were not your original focus. One very likely area is parenting. And since being a parent is very special, I want to share with you 6 keys to coaching moms. Before we begin, allow me to encourage you: No matter your coaching niche, this episode still holds great value for you. What I share can be related to coaching dads or even individuals who aren’t parents. Inevitably, everyone is going to have fears and insecurities. It’s our honor, as coaches, to help them see the things they think are challenges and frustrations in different light.

Change is inevitable. But transitioning into change isn’t easy. Having a plan can make it better. And in particular, having a shift in perspective can go a long way to making things easier.  There is so much power in leaning into change. That's why, as we head into 2023, I want to offer some thoughts and ideas I hope will help you. First of all, let’s just embrace this truth: things typically don’t go to plan. Emotions rise and we find ourselves arguing with reality. But if we approach the unknowns with a ready, equipped mindset, it can make all the difference. “Whatever changes… whatever transitions you’re making, remember: you can’t know how to do them until you’re actually doing them.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Not quite to plan Embracing the unknowns Easing into it Learning through doing Connect with Molly Claire FEELING STUCK IN YOUR COACHING BIZ?

As we get older, we can begin to feel as though we’re running out of time... Time to do all the things we had hoped and made plans for. But it’s not too late. In fact, entrepreneurship is a perfect avenue to pursue the dreams in our hearts. That said, there is a lot to figure out within entrepreneurship as well. A whole lot! The good news is, you can, no matter your age. That's why I’m excited to share with you, Suzy Rosenstein, MA, a master certified life coach and host of the popular podcast for midlife women, Women in the Middle.

The fear of leaving the security of what you currently know is very real. And it may not even matter how well your side-business of coaching is doing. But it’s a decision. Sometimes you have to cut off all other options and just force yourself to make it happen full time. (If it’s right for you and the right timing.) But launching a business is scary. It really needs its own type of therapy. To talk about all this… the truths and fears, the strategies and the difficulties… I have with me TaVona Boggs. TaVona is an author, a physical therapist, and a Master Certified Coach who specializes in helping coaches and consultants launch successful businesses. She shares about how it’s not sudden success but rather a process; one that involves delivering on your promises, scaling properly, and growing with your business.  “This is my belief down to my core… It’s a decision… When I decided I was going to be a full time coach… It took me five years… I had to keep getting knocked down and getting back up… I had to keep going after it.” – TaVona Boggs What You’ll Learn Cut off all options Vision comes with source Delivery often is the problem Success you’re ready for Not missing the point What actually matters Connect with TaVona Boggs TaVona is the author of Unstoppable Success: How to Finally Create the Body, Business and Lifestyle You Want and the voice behind the podcasts, Breaking Protocol and Coaching & Conversations.

The loss of a son… The inspiration to take massive action to impact the world, especially teens... A powerful mission to infuse compassion into today's youth and use service as a vehicle for healing and growth… All of this is simply too important not to share. That's why for this episode I wanted to do something a little different. I invited Brittni Shroeder, Business Coach and Marketing Strategist, and the founder of the nonprofit organization, The Compassion Club (The Gage Shroeder Foundation), to share her personal story. Brittni’s constant drive and focus that she brings to her business she also brings to her nationwide nonprofit. I hope you are as uplifted as I am when you hear her purpose, abundant love and passion to spread good in the world. “I wish everybody treated [one another] like the way that I was treated when I lost my son… I wish that’s how we thought of everybody, everyday… People go through stuff that is the hardest thing that they’ve ever gone through… just treat with love and kindness all the time.” – Brittni Shroeder What You’ll Learn  Honoring Gage Healing through service Treating with kindness The loneliest generation Fine line between self-care and selfish Serve when life is hard Connect with Brittni Shroeder Brittni Schroeder is a Business Coach and Marketing Strategist.

Taking on a business partner is a big decision. How do you know who to choose? When is the right timing? What considerations should you have? What questions should you ask? How should you prepare?...

It’s a fantastic conversation and I’m excited to share it with you. “The glue amidst all the challenges is our vision… [So] let’s get dirty with all the fear and possessiveness… Because this is worth it… On the other side there’s going to be something even more beautiful and more valuable than what we could create on our own.” – Steve Haase What You’ll Learn Relationship challenges Learning from each other Creating individual success Honestly dealing with feelings The glue of partnership Foundation of investment in business and self Aligned but different Benefits and drawbacks The Superabound Podcast episode recommendation: Powerful Women Business Owners (with me, Molly!)  Connect with Erin Aquin and Steve Haase Erin Aquin is a Master Certified and Deep Dive Life Coach who has helped hundreds of Coaches and entrepreneurs stop overworking and create their "True Love Business."

When we coach from a business perspective, it can seem logical and right to focus on business strategy, systems, marketing… the nuts and bolts of business… But what if your true mission is to help heal others? To touch the intangible things in order to move forward the tangible things?  This is the genius zone in which Certified Business Strategy coach Kim Job found herself in when she began the vulnerable and painful process of healing from her broken past. Her brain is naturally wired to business solutions but her heart needed healing. In this episode, Kim opens up about herself and her cherished work, Soul Stories. She wants people to realize and deeply grasp this truth: You may have been broken but you don’t have to remain so. She believes you can be healed and that nothing needs to hold you back. “It’s true that trauma changes your brain but healing does too.’... I think I thought that I had to manage life with my broken brain… [But] maybe I don’t. Maybe I can heal this.” – Kim Job What You’ll Learn  Plan to what quiets your brain Determination and grit Healing your brain Opening yourself to Soul Stories You don’t have to go digging Pushing yourself to be vulnerable Pick 3 Staying true to your mission Connect with Kim Job Kim Job is a Certified Business Strategy coach who specializes in business and marketing strategy.   She began her coaching career working as an Executive at The Life Coach School, and played a major part in their multi-million dollar growth.

Have you ever had that moment when a client mentions an issue they’re facing and you immediately think, ‘Uh oh! Me too!’? In that heart-sinking moment, you freeze and think, “Can I really help them?” You might even think, “If they knew my personal struggles, would they even keep me as a coach?” Let me bring you some comfort: We all have moments when our skill set is stretched. Times when we wonder whether or not we can really help our clients. And at least once in our coaching journey, we’ll have a situation when our client needs help with something we ourselves are still working through. In those moments, you may experience what I call Niche Fraud Complex. Similar to the commonly termed “imposter syndrome”, if not addressed, it can erode your confidence and ruin your business. But take heart! By being ready for that moment, you can remove the false power of self-doubt and replace it with the true power of knowing you are blessed with the gift to help others in your niche. “All of those lies, those doubts, that spinning in your mind: Write those down… When you can expose the lies, when you can have some resolution of the lies, when you can edit them and decide: ‘Which ones of these do I want to keep and work on? And which of these on this list do I want to decide I’m never going to think about again?’” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn  Symptoms of niche fraud complex Recognizing validity Exposing the lies Deciding on commitment Growing stronger through it Connect with Molly Claire Registration is NOW OPEN!

The impact a coach can have on Moms as they navigate motherhood cannot be overstated. And the Mom niche in coaching has some unique challenges. Moms are often the ones to minimize themselves and the load they carry. They don’t tend to ask for help or seek support. On the flip side, those moms that don’t minimize themselves, and do ask for help, tend to feel as though they should have guilt for not fitting the norm. We absolutely need to flip this dynamic! That's why I'm excited to have with me for this episode Conscious Parenting Coach, Mikki Gardner. We are both on a mission to empower women. It is our goal for Moms to feel validated regarding getting support, honored as an example of a powerful woman and leader, and embraced for the exceeding value of parenting well. Imagine with us a world where moms are not judged as they currently are but rather are proud and filled with confidence. This is our vision. And to all those who join us in this important Mom space work, I thank you. “If this is what is in your heart to do, it’s there because this is what you’re supposed to do… And it is needed more now than, honestly, I believe it ever has been… We have got to change that paradigm and giving it [motherhood] the importance that we all know that it has.” – Mikki Gardner What You’ll Learn Big, fancy, shiny Stop the message Personal changes Struggle to charge and viability of niche Multiple options Step into yourself Tangible quick wins Validate women Connect with Mikki Gardner Mikki Gardner is a certified Life + Conscious Parenting Coach.

Building your business and leveraging sales and marketing can be daunting when you feel like you don’t know where to begin or what to do. How do you position your messaging to create a business that builds to 7-figures? How often do you need to change it up? How can you compensate if you don’t feel very skilled in getting your message to the right people? Being ready to adapt is key. Things are constantly changing and we can reach more people who need us as we change with it. In this episode, Jody Moore and I talk about all this. Jody is both an encourager and very skilled at helping others focus their sales and marketing. She and I discuss the key elements to business building, including adaptation, waitlists, identifying your niche, and more. We hope this episode emboldens you, especially the portions about how effort can build skills and failure is a thought we can reframe to move forward. “There’s effort and there's skill… If you just take a lot of effort, you don’t have to have the skill. The effort alone will compensate for your lack of skill… The effort builds the skill.” – Jody Moore What You’ll Learn Adaptation Waitlists Niche focus Effort builds skill Failure thoughts Stagnation and adjustments Time, money or both Connect with Jody Moore After having her first two kids, Jody Moore struggled with work/life balance, embracing motherhood, and liking herself. As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints she felt guilty for not loving the role of mother and wife, and turned to life coaching for help. The transformation she experienced not only helped her at work and at home, it strengthened her testimony of Christ, leading her to dive into learning the tools of coaching and to leave her position as a corporate leadership coach to launch her own coaching practice. Jody is certified through The Life Coach School and completed Master Coach Certification in 2018. Today Jody has helped tens of thousands of people through her top-rated podcast, Better Than Happy, as well as her coaching membership program Be Bold. She has 4 children ages 6 – 16 and resides in Spokane, Washington with them, her husband, their French bulldog, Finn, and cat, Oscar. jodymoore.com Instagram.com/jodymoorecoaching | @jodymoorecoaching Facebook.com/jodymoorecoaching [email protected]  Better Than Happy Podcast Get Jody’s FREE Online Marketing Time and Money Savers!

Can a coach really ever make back the money invested in training and in building her business? We all have goals in the amount of money we want to make (as we should) but is simply recouping the money invested truly possible? Or might there be a better way? In this episode, I want to talk about this because we all start out in the same place. We invest first and then open our coaching business and begin making money. As we do so, it's important to know from the beginning that we won’t ever really “make that money back”. And, it’s even more important to know… that’s actually a good thing. Now you may be thinking, “What?? How can not making my money back possibly be a good thing?” Stick with me. It will make so much sense very soon. “[As] you invest in those things that aren't really tangible, that don’t seem to have that immediate monetary reward… Guess what gets better? Your focus, your mindset, the energy you have to bring to your business… all of it is affected in huge ways.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn  Expansion on investment What will I create?

Is your underwear affecting your business growth? Yes, I asked that question. And believe it or not, it might be! How you feel about yourself is reflected in your style, and that affects your confidence. Confidence then affects your business success because people want to work with someone who operates in confidence. So if you’re looking to increase your biz success, it might be time to check your style. This is why I’m so excited to have on the show style coach and author, Judith Gaton. The definition of style that Judith works from is this: “Your thoughts and feelings about yourself, outwardly reflected”. She says it’s all about becoming clear on what you like and don’t like, not allowing other “rules” you hear to pressure you into changing that, and remembering it’s about how your clothes make you feel.  “Style is such an amazing conduit to a woman’s heart and mind… Remember, this is about your relationship with yourself first.” – Judith Gaton What You’ll Learn  That Magic Moment Style as a conduit Transformation through style Edit Design Curate Style Statement The story your underwear drawer tells Freedom of authenticity Your relationship with yourself first Style brain signals Connect with Judith Gaton Judith Gaton is a stylist, life coach, author and former lawyer. Through her 8-week style and coaching program, Judith helps women who have figured out their careers but not their closets.

Do you have to have everything together and be completely ready in order to make 7-figures and have an enormous impact? Spoiler alert (and the great news): No. When you offer something to a specific group of people who are hungry for help, when you meet a need no one else is meeting, when you make a commitment to show up – no matter what – you can have an amazing business. To talk about what this looks like and how it can come together, I’m excited to have Katrina Ubell, MD on this episode. We discuss several topics around building a thriving business, including identifying people’s needs, ROIs, working through perceived certainty (and uncertainty), and staying connected to our purpose. One point Katrina really is energetic about is finding your passion and staying committed to it.  “When I’m having intrusive thoughts about… ‘you should just get rid of this thing… go run away… you don’t have to do this’... But I really want to make an impact on this group of people. This group of people needs the information I have to share. And I just then start thinking how disappointing it would be to them. Someone had that answer and they just stopped or gave up… and what a shame, there’s all these people that aren’t going to be helped.” – Katrina Ubell, MD What You’ll Learn Making 7-figures starting at nothing Designing your niche by identifying external needs Choosing wise investments for your business Perceived certainty (and uncertainty) Staying connected to purpose A peek into How to Lose Weight for the Last Time Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Katrina Ubel, MD Katrina in her own words… As a pediatrician, I always struggled with my weight. For decades, I lost and gained the same 40 pounds. I tried every diet and program under the sun. Some worked for a while, but I’d always regain the weight. In 2016, I finally figured out how to make weight loss permanent. I developed a program to help other busy physicians like me who often de-prioritize their own wellness. As a weight loss coach, I’ve now helped over 1,300 busy physicians and professionals find and stay at a healthy weight and achieve the same peace and freedom around food.

Fear can be pretty sneaky. It can appear like problems – especially ones you’re not sure how to tackle or overcome. But those problems might just be uncertainty, not difficulties you can’t navigate. And fear and uncertainty magnify problems by making you feel alone. But let me assure you, what’s stopping you from moving forward in your business is not only common, it’s very normal.  It’s normal to feel stuck, to wonder if we need to change things… a lot of things. If you’ve ever pondered: “Should I change my niche?”, “Should I change what I charge?”, “I don’t know if my program is (fill in the blank)”... you are experiencing normal business frustrations. And it’s important to find practical, workable solutions to them. But because fear feeds sabotage, it is even more important to really open yourself up. Doing so moves you through any places of fear and doubt… and on to helping those you are gifted to help. “When you notice you’re stuck or you’re self-sabotaging, or you’re lost or you’re overwhelmed, and you have your coach work with you to find out what’s there – you will have that fear come up.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn  Fear of Success Capability overwhelm Fear of Caretaking Unhealthy responsibility Fear of Failure Avoidance Fear of Disappointment and Disappointing Stifling progress Ways fear disguises itself Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Molly Claire You can give Molly a special gift!

We’ve all had that experience at least once, right? That time a sales call or presentation left us with a really bad taste in our mouth. It felt sleazy, slimy and you knew you'd never say yes. Afterward, you vowed to never be that person. Whether you like sales, hate them, or land somewhere in between, we all want our potential clients to have a comfortable, positive sales experience with us. Even if they decide it’s not for them. Before we begin, I want to encourage you. Even if you find sales uncomfortable or intimidating, you likely already have a great foundation, you simply don’t know it. Why? How? Because we all naturally tell people about things we like and we’re passionate about, without thinking anything of it. And really, that’s sales at its core. You can build on that by mixing in a few key sales elements and a little authenticity to make sure your potential clients always have a fantastic experience.   “The truth is, we’re all selling all the time… Something I do with my clients is really help them to notice what it feels like when they are sharing something amazing that they love and there’s no money involved. And that feeling and that experience is what I call your unique sales energy… You’re better at selling than you think.” – Molly Claire What You’ll Learn Why you have a great sales foundation Reflect on a great experience Sold without realizing it Draw from positive experiences 6 key sales elements #1: Have your client’s best interest at heart #2: Listen to fears and help overcome #3: Help your client visualize #4: Assume they want to work with you #5: Don’t be afraid to compassionately ask hard questions #6: Give your client the gift of closure Contact Info and Recommended Resources Connect with Molly Claire You can give Molly a special gift!

As coaches, it is our desire to reach and help as many people as possible. Having your own podcast is absolutely one of the best and most economical ways to accomplish that. But getting started and maintaining a podcast can be daunting. How exactly does one edit and produce their own show? What kind of equipment should you use? What about editing software? Should you have written show notes?... Frankly, some of us might relish the technical stuff but others of us have absolutely no desire to deal with it. Regardless, we all want to share our expertise and release more hope and love into the world. That’s where people like my podcast guy, Daniel Abendroth, come in. He and his wife, Michelle, own Roth Media, LLC, a podcast production company. I wanted to have him on for this episode to help guide anyone who is considering starting their own podcast or possibly looking to do less work to produce their current podcast. Among other points, Daniel and I discuss the benefits of starting a podcast, when it might be the right time to start, how you can lean into your gifts, and how consistency is key. “For coaches, [podcasting is] an amazing tool to grow your business and connect with your audience in a whole different way… From a listener standpoint, there’s this weird intimacy. You feel like you’re sitting with a friend, chit-chatting or, like, just listening to them talk about something that they’re passionate about… It also gets them to know you… whether or not you’re the right coach for them.” – Daniel Abendroth What You’ll Learn For the love of podcasting What podcasting does for your business When you should consider starting a podcast Lean into your gifts Identify your ideal client Consistency and batching The complexity and time commitment of a successful podcast A few equipment and media source recommendations Contact Info and Recommended Resources Royalty free music sources: MelodyLoops.com and Uppbeat.io Podcast editing software: REAPER Learn how to use REAPER: reaperforpodcasting.com Schedule a FREE consultation with Daniel and his wife, Michelle: rothmedia.audio/schedule/consultation.

Roth Media offers podcast editing, production and consultation to make their clients’ shows sound smooth and professional, while saving them time and money. When Daniel began his podcasting journey, he wanted his ideas to reach more people. Then while creating his own show, he fell in love with podcast production and wanted to use the skills he’d developed to help others share their ideas. Before long, Daniel discovered how very needed his expertise is. An unfortunate truth became apparent: Most new podcasters simply don’t make it. The low barrier to entry allows anybody to start a podcast but very few have the drive to keep going, and even fewer have the ability to handle everything on their own.
