29. How To Make Your First $10k As A Coach

In a recent interview with Authority Magazine, I was asked what
habits allowed me to have success in my coaching business. Here's
what I came up with:


1) Sleeping in every day. 


I decided early on that I was not going to sacrifice my health
for success. Rather than wake up extremely early to make my life
busier, I decided to sleep in and use my waking hours to focus
ONLY on what would get me results. This allowed me to learn how
to be productive instead of busy. When you give your brain LESS
hours to work with, your brain becomes MORE efficient. You learn
how to get more done in less time.


2) Embracing awkward conversations with
strangers.


As an introvert, I avoided large social gatherings. I dreaded the
awkwardness that came with meeting new people. But then I asked
myself, "Is it worth it to have a moment of awkwardness if it
meant this person's life will ultimately be transformed?" The
answer was always yes. The more awkward conversations I fumbled
through with strangers, the more my business ended up growing.


3) Asking for support.


I used to stubbornly try to figure everything out on my own. But
then I realized that if I had a big mission, it would require big
support. The moment I invested in professional training and
mentorship was also when I saw everything start to skyrocket.
There's no reason to reinvent the wheel if you want to succeed as
a coach.


In this episode, I explain how you can incorporate these habits
to hit your first $10k as a coach.
