Starting Out: 5 Lessons We Wish We Knew
Show Notes

Welcome to  episode 15 of our Business Success By Design podcast, where we share actionable insights to help new coaches achieve their goals. 

In this episode, we are going to discuss the top 5 things that we wish we had done at the start of our coaching business to accelerate our success.

Starting a coaching business can be overwhelming, and it's easy to get lost in the sea of information and advice available online. However, based on our personal experiences, we have identified five things that we believe would have helped us achieve our goals faster if we had implemented them from the beginning.

They may not be YOUR 5 things but based on our journey....well, we now know what we should have done!

Let us know if you agree!

Also - take the quiz below :-)

Hello! We are James and Angela, entrepreneurs and strategic marketing coaches living in Northern Virginia! Nice to meet you!

We began our entrepreneurial journey in 2009 after spending 25+ years as Sales and Marketing execs in high-tech Corporate America generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues earning multiple 6-figure incomes.

Our mission - to help NEW or Early Stage Coaches, Consultants and Small Businesses, COMPRESS the time it takes to get to a 6-figure revenue stream without the stress, overwhelm and costs of advertising, hours on social media and complex sales funnels.

We quickly learned that NO amount of success at the corporate level would prepare us for such an income level as brand new business owners.

After too many years of scrambling trying to get clients and build predictability and consistency in our business, we finally decided to get out of our own way and got some coaching help (every business owner, especially coaches, should have a coach!)

We re-examined WHO we wanted to help and WHAT problem we best solved. BOOM! In less than 9 months, we were generating 6-figures using our own methodology and have helped hundreds of small business owners, coaches and consultants do the same.

It all comes down to 3 core concepts - CLARITY in your messaging, CONFIDENCE in your offer and CONTROL in your business.
