Ah, the rollercoaster ride of entrepreneurship – exhilarating highs, stomach-churning lows, and enough plot twists to make even the most seasoned entrepreneur's head spin. But amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there's one secret weapon that turned my journey from startup stress to success: coaching.

Picture this: a wide-eyed entrepreneur, armed with nothing but a dream and a laptop, diving headfirst into the wild world of an online coaching business. That was me, not too long ago. With $0 to my name, I set out to become the next six-figure and growing coach in the space of financial wellness. And let me tell you, it was a wild ride. But it wasn't until I stumbled upon the magic of coaching that the real adventure began.

The Power of a Helping Hand

Now, I've always been a firm believer in the power of seeking guidance from those who've walked the path before you. So, when I decided to take the plunge into entrepreneurship, I knew I needed a little help navigating the twists and turns of the business world. I had no idea how to grow on social media, and how to convert that following into actual paid clients. I knew i’d be stumped trying to piece things together on my own. So why not take a risk and see what happens?

Enter my first coach – a 21 year old entrepreneur running her business like the boss babe, I wished to be. Turning her dreams into reality, and running a business that was empowering women as she lived a life of freedom, flexibility and wealth. At 24, I wanted to replicate that. How could someone three years younger than me be doing what I want, while i’m here stuck at zero? Here becomes my journey through the coaching world and seeking mentorship.

Fast forward a few months, and I found myself on a whirlwind journey of self-discovery and business growth, all thanks to the incredible coaches I was lucky enough to stumble upon.

Business Coaching: The same 21 year old girl I spoke about, who was killing it teaching women how to kill it in their business. She guided me through the maze of startup struggles and helping me turn my passion into profit. I landed my first client within a month of working with her, and made back the total of my $3,000 investment by the time we were done.

Email Marketing Coaching: Then came the email marketing guru who taught me the art of crafting compelling messages that turned subscribers into loyal fans and customers. Doing less work, but making more through utilizing the power of automation to create a customer journey through a series of pre-built emails that would have me making money in my sleep, and freeing up that time to show up more and find more aligned clients and students to my services. As well, as sprinkling in more fun into the free time I now had off by simplifying a marketing system.

Dating Coaching: Believe it or not, even my love life got a makeover thanks to a dating coach who taught me the importance of confidence, communication, and yes, even a little bit of feminine tease (which my boyfriend in hindsight hated that I did, but worked… after our dinner date he wanted to hang out for longer and I said no. That made him want to see me even more lol. I know, I know kind of cringe, but it worked!). I learned how to set boundaries when searching for a partner, and still how to set boundaries within my love life and stay true to my values.

Spiritual Coaching: Let's not forget the spiritual guide who helped me tap into my inner wisdom, find my purpose, and navigate the rocky terrain of personal growth during a gap year. I met her through her massage services, which turned out to be divine timing for the support I needed taking a mid-career break. I felt burnt out energetically from my business - hint: doing way too much and showing up on platforms that didn’t suit my personality type at the expense of growth - and also started having physical health problems (benign fasciculation syndrome), probably due to chronic stress levels and undealt with trauma that eventually wreaked havoc on my nervous and hormonal system, that I’m still trying to find healing with today.

It was scary for me to finally detach my self-worth to success and my career, and just be present. Do things for a whole year that I enjoyed and brought healing like reading tons of books, writing my own fiction and poetry book, and even taking mushrooms (not that I promote this just because, it was intentionally done to process the anxiety, depression and trauma I’ve gone through - and I don’t regret it one bit)!

Even though they didn’t bring me any financial gain, they brought me much emotional, spiritual, and mental peace So much of what we throw in the backburner of our lives, to gain fast fulfilled success, wealth, and status - doesn’t always promise more happiness or fulfillment if done for the wrong reasons.

Lessons Learned Along the Way

But, this is all to say that investing in different forms of coaching wasn't just about learning the latest business hacks or mastering the art of charm. Along the way, I picked up some invaluable life lessons that transformed not just my business, but my entire outlook on life.

You see, coaching isn't just about hitting business milestones or checking off to-do lists. It's about unlocking your full potential, embracing your quirks and flaws, and stepping into the most authentic version of yourself – both in business and in life.

So here I am, a little wiser, a little bolder, and a whole lot more grateful for the incredible journey that coaching has taken me on. If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: success isn't just about reaching the top – it's about embracing the journey, the detours, and the unexpected twists along the way. And with the right coach by your side, there's no limit to how far you can go. So here's to the dreamers, the doers, and the believers – may your journey be as wild and wonderful as mine.
