#242: The One Question That Turns Busywork Into Paying Clients
Apr 08, 2026 Season 4 Episode 242
Michelle Kuei

You've been working on your business. Like really working on it.

The website. The Canva graphics. The lead magnet. The Instagram grid. The CRM you signed up for because someone said you needed it.

And yet — still no clients.

Here's the hard truth: busy is not the same as productive. And until you know the difference between tasks that lead to clients and tasks that just feel like progress, you're going to keep spinning your wheels.

In this episode, Michelle is giving you one filter question that will immediately cut through the overwhelm and show you exactly what to focus on in your coaching business right now.

You'll learn:

  • Why new coaches feel overwhelmed (and why it has nothing to do with how much you're doing)
  • The one question to ask before working on anything in your business
  • Which common coaching tasks actually lead to clients — and which ones don't
  • The only three things you actually need to start getting paying clients
  • Why your website, your logo, and your CRM are not what's standing between you and clients

If you've been building and building and still wondering where the clients are — this episode is for you.
