Growing your Coaching Business
Do you have things you want or need to do and simply don’t have the time or know how to do it? You want to write more, or start an email list, or figure out the best way to submit your business expenses to your accountant without handing over the proverbial shoe box? I HEAR YOU! Trying to figure out which one to tackle first can give you analysis paralysis. You know what helps me? Processing it with someone else who can help me figure out where to start. It seems simple, but that’s really all it takes.
When you’re launching your new project, everything is important to you, and you feel like it all needs to get done NOW. But wait, aren’t you a coach who plans to walk alongside others as they navigate their next steps? Would having someone walk with you as you prepare to help others be the next step for you as you build?
If you are new here, welcome! I’m Leska and my passion is helping others become more efficient in their work so that their mission can be more effective. After stepping away from an awesome corporate job I had in the big city more than 20 years ago to start a family I found myself working for a non-profit organization that didn’t have the same budget or resources I had previously. Thankfully, it provided me with an opportunity to create new systems that would not only help me, but also our team and the customers we served. I knew we couldn’t afford the apps and programs that everyone was jumping into at the time, but thankfully, I had a visionary leader (let’s call her Rose) who supported the work I was doing. I became a chronic researcher. I spent hours (on and off the clock) finding the best ways to do things for pennies while still producing quality that mirrored and often surpassed the costly options. I loved (and still do) “fixing” an issue. While Rose provided outstanding opportunities for me to grow and learn and move into a position equal to hers with another organization, I knew deep down that’s not what I wanted to do. To this day, I still tell Rose that I want to be the best number two to the number one. Through a lot of prayer, training, discernment, and life experience, I know what drives me. I want to make dreams come true for visionary leaders by making it easier for them to accomplish those goals.
Okay, so that sounds great, but are you asking HOW can Leska help when I’m not sure where to start? I’d like to share a real example of how this works. A few years ago, Rose was meeting with her women’s entrepreneurship group. One of the women in the group (who has a coaching business) mentioned that she’d like to spend more time writing and wanted to share those writings with people she coached and anyone else who might be interested. Her challenge was that she wasn’t sure which program would be best and how to implement on her own. Rose graciously connected the two of us. After a video meeting, I learned the heart behind the coach’s work and that she just wanted to help others through her writing and not spend time researching how to get that work into the world beyond posting on the blog section of her website. Enter me! In just a few clicks, I was able to get her contacts loaded into an email platform which allowed them to subscribe to her bi-weekly newsletter as well as set up an opt-in to her newsletter on her website. Through her newsletter, she could speak directly to her audience through her writing and offer her coaching cohorts more broadly than she ever could in the past. Her cup was filled, and so was mine! Her newsletter subscribers quickly doubled and she gets to continue doing what drives her without getting bogged down in the areas that don’t fill her with joy.
Let me ask you, are you ready to launch something that matters? Are you still trying to get all the pieces together to get there? Please, let me help you! I love talking through your thoughts and plans and sharing tips on how to reach your goals. It would truly be my honor to share a cup of coffee with you over a no-commitment video call and learn how I can come alongside you in this process. Together, let’s provide hope for someone who needs to hear from you!
Blessings,
Leska
