Have you noticed that when you’re first starting out as a health coach there seems to be an endless list of things you can invest in?
I mean everyone and their brother is telling you that you need this software and that training, and the list goes on and on.
In the early stages of your business the FOMO is #REAL and before you know it you’ve spent thousands of dollars on things you aren’t using, while you still haven’t worked with a single client.
Do you feel me?
I know that’s how it was when I first started my health coaching practice in 2011 and I didn’t have nearly the number of options you have now, so I totally get how this can become a runaway train really quickly.
I remember my husband calling me out as I was about to hit the purchase button on the next ‘magic bullet’ meant to make my business profitable. He said, “Can’t you use the things you’ve already purchased? What makes this one so different?”
That was the wake-up call I needed because I took a step back and asked myself, ‘what made this purchase so different?’. My answer… not one thing.
If you can relate, then you’ll love this.
