Female entrepreneurs often struggle to launch an online coaching practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Believe me, I know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was starting out, the thought of becoming the face of my own coaching brand was downright TERRIFYING. I mean, I doubted *everything* about my business acumen and fell asleep most nights wondering if I was even worthy of meeting clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7 years later, I\u2019ve helped hundreds of female entrepreneurs leverage their passion to create meaningful, successful online businesses. Crazy right? But seriously, mamas, it\u2019s TOTALLY doable. Just keep a few things in mind as you begin to delight the digital space with your one-of-a-kind awesome sauce.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Embrace discomfort in the early days<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step can be hard. Despite being a subject matter expert and nailing coaching training, many women are kinda lost when it comes to monetizing their knowledge. And that\u2019s TOTALLY okay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some fear they\u2019re not \u201cgood\u201d enough to bank $10k+ a month in coaching fees. (I know I did.) I worried ALL the time about where clients would come from since the LAST thing I wanted to be was sleazy or sales-y in my sales approach. I had a visceral disdain for becoming the identity of my brand. ????????<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound familiar? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be so intimidating. The first step to starting an online coaching business is overcoming imposter syndrome<\/a>. <\/strong>Y\u2019know, that judgy voice in your head calling you a fraud despite years of expertise, glowing testimonials, and a proven track record of success. \u201cSituations such as taking on a new role often lead to imposter syndrome,\u201d explain the fine folks at American Nurse Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isn\u2019t that exactly what you\u2019re doing in creating a coaching business? ????????<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You really CAN do this. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to ignore those waves of insecurity you haven\u2019t felt since high school. You\u2019re a grown-a$$ woman now and capable of critical thought. Ask yourself, \u201cIs there any TRUTH to what I\u2019m feeling right now?\u201d Not much, likely. Have your resume handy and remind yourself of your credentials. You earned a seat at the table, woman. Enjoy the meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, this would be a perfect time to embrace your inner child and ask for a little help. Find a mentor who can show you the ropes so you avoid wasting time with annoying stumbles. That person is well-positioned to help you flesh out the \u201cbig idea,\u201d so ASK QUESTIONS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landing your first clients may be a challenge, but don\u2019t let imposter syndrome creep back in. Reach out to your personal and professional networks and let them know you\u2019re offering free 15-minute coaching sessions. Start a blog, guest on podcasts, offer workshops \u2014 all of which will increase your credibility and exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, dedication only gets you so far.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re obviously passionate about your soon-to-be rockin\u2019 online coaching business, which is freakin awesome. Seriously. But to build a successful business and really<\/em> help people you\u2019re gonna need to identify a *specific problem* that a group of people faces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Got it? Awesome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, how can YOU help the problem go away? Write that down, because it\u2019s super, duper important. Don\u2019t worry about perfect grammar or eloquent prose, just RECORD IT somehow. The goal right now is to build a blueprint for a product that satisfies your customers’ needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time to renovate your digital home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All those soon-to-be happy clients are gonna need to find you somewhere, so build a website using simple platforms like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace. Fill it with client-focused content that clearly explains how you can improve their lives. Got a testimonial or two? We wanna read them!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s in a name? Um, a lot. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing a name for your business is an important step in the process, so don\u2019t rush it! Here are some things to keep in mind as you christen this vessel: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
