You've taken the business classes, you've tried the marketing tools. And still something's missing: CLIENTS!
I'm here to give you hope. And assurance that you CAN do the work you feel called to do. Even if you have been working at it, and you STILL have no, or few, clients.
Because if you dream it, you can achieve it. Your full practice already exists on a higher level. Your clients are lined up, waiting for you to open the doors to them. Clients who are specifically looking for YOU. What you uniquely have to offer them.
First let's unpack what is in the way... Let's get what's in the shadows and in your subconscious out in the open. So you can get a good look at what's in there, and change it. I invite you to print this page, grab a pen, and note which of these you have running around your mind:
__ Where are my clients?
__ I work hard at marketing!
__ I’m getting NO results!
__ I put so much out there and get nothing back.
__ Why aren't people registering?
__ I’m exhausted and burned out!
__ It shouldn’t be this hard!
__ "Giving up" is creeping in...
__ Is it really gonna take this much time?
__ Will I always have to hustle?
__ Push harder.
__ Do more.
__ Going back to old negative habits.
__ Maybe it’s not possible.
__ Maybe I’m not doing it right.
__ Maybe I should try another way.
__ Everybody’s getting clients but me!

__ Am I really good enough?
__ I’m supposed to be a coach, not spend all my time marketing!
__ I don’t like it!
__ I’m not cut out to do this!
__ God’s out to get me!

__ Can’t keep clients
__ Worry about them leaving
