"I was overwhelmingly stressed because I was stuck in a job that I didn’t love while struggling to find time to devote to the career I really wanted to have."

"I knew what I could do and knew there was a need for it and I was passionate about it, but I was gripped by too much fear of the unknown and thinking that it was too risky, or I wouldn’t be good enough, or I would fail, or some other catastrophic thing would happen.And so I just couldn’t go. I couldn’t give myself permission to do it."

"We really examined my self-doubt and fear of failure in an almost scientific way and practically proved that what I thought just wasn’t reality, that these were just fears that didn’t have a likelihood of being realized. That the groundwork I had laid and the preparation that I had going for my business was all going to be enough. I just needed to give my business the time that it needed to grow. And immediately when I did that, I saw results. And it hasn’t slowed down one bit what I thought I could never do a year ago."

"The one we called 'Validating that I Am Ready'. We had a session where you basically told me we were beyond proof of concept. Like, look at all of this that you’ve done. Here it is. Those things that were holding you back don’t even need to be a thought in your head anymore. It’s just not a thing that’s there. Your business is a success. So it’s just a matter of where you want to take it from here."

"And then we started coaching, which gave me a lot more confidence because I started realizing that I’m not the only one who wants to start a business, who has these feelings, and that other people came before me and were successful.And that I too could be successful because I was able to voice out loud what I had done for my business and my vision. Stating it out loud was very therapeutic, and it really gave me the confidence and permission that I needed to go forward and take the risk of taking my side hustle full time.You helped me to organize my thoughts, instead of being scattered all over the place, like “Oh, this is a good idea. This is a good idea.” It really allowed me to focus on high priorities and let go of some of the things that were sucking my energy that were not producing results.The way you pose questions and then regurgitate my answer after the session, it all becomes very clear. It’s like, “Yes. That’s exactly where I am, and that’s exactly where I’m going.” It really gave me a roadmap to launch my business with confidence."

"There are so many things that have happened that have been good. Oh gosh, it’s hard to narrow it down to just one thing.That I’m not afraid to set boundaries anymore with my clients or in my professional life or even in my personal life.I love that I have the power and flexibility to govern my schedule. If I need a vacation or if I want time off for self-care, I can take it.I don’t think anymore that I have to constantly push, push, push or the business won’t still be there for me.I’m building my dream retirement home in Hawaii that I never ever thought would happen. The business has allowed me the financial growth to make that dream a reality."

"You and I really took a deep dive into where I was and where I wanted to go so that I could be prepared and ready for that. And that really showed me that I was ready.So I would say to somebody else who wants to run their own business, it’s not like you can just wake up one day and be your own boss. Most of the time where you hear these horror stories that scare you out of being able to do it.But if you really put in the effort upfront before you launch, and you’re completely prepared, you have a passion for what you’re doing, and the knowledge base and the resources and the network, there’s no reason why not to.I really couldn’t put a price tag on what this coaching has done for me. When I decided to do it, I really hadn’t heard of this or knew anyone who had done it. And if I did, I didn’t think it would work for me or it would be a waste of money. And I really just would not be where I am today without the coaching. I’d still be stuck. I’d be right where I was, sitting safe and miserable, and wanting to do something else, but not having the focus or support to get out there and get after it."
