#238: Should You Start Your Coaching Business While You’re Still in Training?
Feb 18, 2026 Season 4 Episode 238
Michelle Kuei

If you ever wonder...

When should you actually start building your coaching business?

In this episode, I’m breaking down why waiting until you finish certification could slow your visibility, delay your income, and keep you stuck longer than necessary.

Over the years, I’ve had countless new coaches ask me:

  • Do I really need certification?
  • When should I start marketing myself?
  • What do I say when someone asks what I do?
  • How do I build an audience if I’m just getting started?

If building your coaching business is on your list this year, this episode is for you.

Inside this episode:

✔ Do you really need certification?
 ✔ When should you begin marketing yourself?
 ✔ What do you say when someone asks what you do?
 ✔ How to build an audience before you’re “ready”
 ✔ The 3 actions every coach should take this week
 ✔ The biggest mistake beginners make when testing offers

If becoming a working coach is on your goal list this year, hit play.
