How business coaching changed my life
Full disclosure, I didn’t start out my professional career as a business coach; I started as a mental health therapist.
I did that for about 20 years, then pivoted to wellness coaching after extreme burnout as a Clinical Director at a mental health agency left me diagnosed with 3 autoimmune disorders.
I created my coaching and counseling business, Albers Mind & Body Wellness (www.alberswellness.com) in 2017 with a sparkle in my eye and passion in my heart, but you know what was missing?
Online marketing and business knowledge.
Turns out when you’re trying to run an online wellness coaching business, it’s really critical to have that!
Cause when you don’t know how to build or scale your online coaching business, life becomes frustrating and overwhelming. The kind that makes you want to cringe when the alarm goes off at 6am and bury your head under the covers.
When I couldn’t stop fantasizing about working at Target instead of running my business, that’s when I knew something had to change!
I did not quit my insanely stressful previous corporate job only to have my own business put me back into autoimmune stress flare-ups!
That’s when I hired my first business coach. And she changed EVERYTHING for me!
I ditched the 5 niches I had before and narrowed down to female health and wellness coaches as my sole niche. I learned how to create programs and services to get my clients amazing results. I learned exactly what I needed (and only what I needed) to market myself instead of trying to show up everywhere and exhausting myself. Oh, and I 5Xed my monthly income!
