All about helping you go from passion to profits in your coaching business.
Hi their coach, it's Carolin Soldo here, I'm the founder of Brand Your Passions and the
Powerhouse Coach.
Where we work with new and experienced coaches from all around the world.
Nine years ago I launched my coaching business and I remember those feelings of unworthiness
and I thought, "Am I really a real coach?
Can I create real results?
Am I worth premium prices?
Can I charge for my coaching?"
I had never worked with clients before and I was struggling with a lot of lack in confidence.
Today I work with new and experienced coaches from around the world and it doesn't matter
how advanced a coach is in their career, the feelings of being an imposter and doubts,
they creep in no matter how experienced you are in business.
This is something we need to address and I'm here today to give you my best tips and strategies
to help you overcome imposter syndrome, feel like a real expert, lead from the heart and
go out there to reach the people you're meant to reach and do the work you love.
The first thing we need to do is look at your credibility factors.
When I look at my own confidence and why I feel grounded and confident in what I do it
comes from the experience I have and the work I have done.
And even if you're a new coach, I know you have work experience, education or personal
life experience that you can draw from to give you confidence and to make you understand
how worthy and how valuable you really are.
Get out a piece of paper and write down three things.
Work experience, education and life experience.
And explore those three areas for you and figure out where you can draw credibility
from.
Where have you had your biggest successes and your greatest results?
Do you have personal experience with health or fitness or relationships or do you have
a long standing career?
Have you had major success in the corporate world?
Maybe you have a coaching certification or maybe you went to college.
Maybe you are a counselor or a psychologist or what have you.
Take a look at all of these areas and make a list of your credibility factors that you
can always look at and say, "Hey, I'm an expert.
I've done this, I've done this, and I've done that.
And those are the reasons why I'm credible to coach people in my chosen field."
The second thing I want you to do right now is think about your purpose.
One thing I'm really proud of is my mission.
I deep in my heart believe that I have a purpose to fulfill in this world and my purpose is
to help people just like you live an extraordinary life, be happy and do the work they're meant
to do.
To me it's the ripple effect.
If I help you, you get to help more people and we can change the world.
If you're coming from a sense or a place of service and you know you have a mission to
fulfill, it's your responsibility to do that.
Don't feel bad about it.
Don't feel like you're not worthy enough.
You're more than worthy already.
You have a God given purpose and a mission to go out there and be a coach and change
people's lives.
And all the experiences that you've had so far, all the things you have learned, the
struggles you've overcome, the challenges you've faced, they were given to you for a
reason so that you could learn to master them and take away the skills and talents and abilities
to show other people how to do the same.
Don't you believe that?
I believe that for you 100%.
If you're coming from a place of purpose and power and true mission, it's your responsibility
to share that and there's no place and there's no space for feeling like an imposter.
You're out there to make a different so go out there and do the things you're meant to
do.
Don't let anybody tell you differently.
Don't let anybody hold you back.
Follow your purpose and don't think about anything else.
The third thing I want you do to is celebrate every win you experience.
In this world we can't always control people.
There are naysayers.
There are people who are jealous of us.
There are clients who don't feel like we've given them what they deserve.
There might be people out there coming at you, making you feel less than.
Making you feel unworthy.
Criticizing you, challenging you and you can't always control that.
Well the one thing you can control is what you pay attention to and what you celebrate.
In our company we celebrate literally every client win, big or small.
We post them in our Facebook group, we post them on our results pages and we celebrate
every step of the way because we know that it's about the journey and it's not about
the end result.
It's about enjoying the process of building a business and knowing that every single day
we get one step closer to our big goals.
Being grateful for everything that you have and celebrating all the little wins will not
only show your perspective clients that you're a positive person but it will put you in a
state of mind that is positive thinking so that you have ideas and the power to do even
more.
It will bring more people to you, it will attract more people to your message and it
will make you so much more powerful to go out there and make a real difference.
The next thing I want you to do is a simple mindset shift and that is to go from selling
to serving.
When you think about your coaching services as selling yourself, you're promoting yourself,
you're marketing yourself, it feels pushy.
It can feel sleazy.
It feels like you're giving people something they may not want.
What I want you to do instead is to think about serving and adding value.
When you go out there in the world on social media, on YouTube, in person, whatever you
might be doing and you think, "Hey, I just want to make a difference.
I want to add value wherever I can.
I will give information.
I will teach.
I will coach people.
I will train.
I will speak.
And I will give as much as I have," people will see that and you will make a difference
with your information, your ideas and your thoughts.
And by doing that you'll let go of being all in your head and making it all about you and
feeling awkward and feeling like an imposter and you're actually moving towards a space
that makes you feel like you're adding real value.
People will appreciate you.
You will feel that and that over time will build your confidence like nothing else.
If you know in your heart what your credibility factors are, what your purpose is, you celebrate
every little win and you go out there and you move from selling to serving you can't
lose.
No more imposter syndrome.
No more feeling unworthy.
It's just love.
You're out there giving value and focusing on the people who really need you and who
are ready to work with you right now.
I believe in your passion and my mission is to help you bring your passions to the world.
And now I would love to hear from you.
Let me know what your biggest takeaways were from this episode.
I would love to have a conversation with you and always help you be the expert you're meant
to be.
