Back in 2019, two coaches completed their coaching certification.
Their hearts were filled with hope, inspired by the difference their coaching would make in people’s lives. They set off to launch their businesses.
Fast forward to 2025.
They’re both still passionate about coaching and deepening their own transformation and enjoyment of life. Their desire to help others hasn’t faded – in fact, it’s stronger than ever.
One of these coaches is now an in-demand coach with a full client roster, glowing testimonials and a vibrant community.
The other still doesn’t have a single paying client.
What made the difference between these two coaches?
Both of them have training. In fact, both continued their education and have multiple certifications.
Both of them have true passion for what they do. They’re both good coaches who’ve gotten results.
The difference is the first coach took action before they were ready. The other is still waiting.
The first coach created imperfect offers, fumbled through early conversations, and learned by doing.
The second coach hesitated, worried about payment systems, how they’d fit clients into their schedule, and whether they were really qualified.
One took the leap while the other merely dreamed about it.
Nothing will grow your business faster than action. Nothing.
You can’t think your way to paying clients. You can’t simply imagine a compelling message and attract clients.
Clarity comes through experimentation. You gain momentum by trying, failing, and trying again.
But there’s a secret to turbocharge this path: reflection.
A reflective mind is quiet and open to new thought. It’s where the feedback from your actions meets creative genius. You’re inspired with new strategies and ideas – growth becomes inevitable.
If you’d like to take inspired action – even if you don’t feel ready – the IMPACT membership is for you.
