Description: When I became a life coach, I didn’t realize I was also becoming a business owner. And like many coaches, I had some unrealistic expectations — I thought I could simply announce my new career and the clients (and income) would follow. Spoiler: that’s not how it works.

In this episode, I’m sharing the top 5 entrepreneur lessons I’ve learned the hard way while building a successful life coaching business. These insights come from experience — three successful companies, over a decade in the industry, and helping hundreds of clients — and I’m breaking them down to help you shorten your learning curve.

Whether you’re a new coach trying to sign your first clients or a more seasoned coach struggling to grow, this episode will give you perspective on:

• Why being a coach means running a business (not a hobby)

• The truth about marketing, sales, and making money as a life coach

• Why clients won’t “just come” — and what to do instead

• The systems you need to grow sustainably

• How to navigate the loneliness of entrepreneurship
