When we do the hard work to grow our coaching business, especially during the first months, it's like we have to accept that overwhelm, anxiety, stress, confusion etc. will be our constant feelings and we just have to get over it so we can do some more work. But, is this the right way of doing things? The reason why we experience this is because... we have no experience We don't really know what we should be doing exactly to get those clients in faster, so we tend to do everything, listen to all successful coaches out there and use all the tactics they give away for free... only to find ourselves in the same position and no real clients... And we work work and work some more... start worrying because we have to pay bills... not allowing ourselves to take a break because this is not the time for that... and anyway, you will spend this time off worrying some more... And voila - overwhelm, anxiety, stress, confusion are born And then things spiral down, we don't find many solutions to our problems, but we keep our hopes and dreams and keep going. The only thing that will fix this is rest... actually stepping away from everything I know you might say - no, what could help me so much would be a plan or strategy - but trust me, with a fried mindset you won't be able to execute anything and you will keep making mistakes. Therefore, I know how much we all have on our plate.... but prioritise rest and sleep. You need your mind to function at high capacity - and your mind loves sleep. Instead of forcing yourself into another hour of grinding, give yourself an extra hour of sleep, and then those working hours will be so much more productive, and you will be able to spot more opportunities, be creative, come up with solutions, be positive and less anxious.... all the good stuff that builds your business. Do you lovely people struggle with any of these now? If yes, how are you coping with it? Do you have any advice when it comes about the rollercoaster of emotions when building a coaching business?
