what I'm learning from an unsuccessful business

BOOK A SESSION WITH ME

welcome to 2023 with Life Coach Franzannie, I'm your host Franzannie. When you're feeling stuck or unsure I help you figure out how to get out of your own way so you can get what you want through one on one individual coaching sessions. Coaching is all about forging the best path for you through self-reflection and the best way I know how to "show" you how to do that in your life is to live by example. So each week I pick a theme and Tuesday through Friday I'll pick different topics I want to work through 

Coaching gave me the courage believe I could have the life in my dreams and take the action steps to make it happen- I quit my job, sold my house and started my working from home.

Four years in, things are taking a lot longer feel way harder than I could've imagined.

So my theme this year is to Find What Feels Good so I can be obsessed with my life now AND so I'll stick to it. In this podcast, I invite you on this journey with me

This week I'm talking about what's not going well in my life and how I'm trying to fix it and paying attention to things I can learn from what's going well. The most important thing I want to accomplish about this exercise this week is to look curiously and not critically at myself

Happy Tuesday, today I'm diving into streams of income part 1- my coaching practice. 

why it's not going well (as a stream of income)

I quit my job 4 years ago and immediately put the pressure on myself to create a consistent stream of income annndd four years later it's still not consistent 

how i got here? 

• followed a lot of coach's programs-
  • good- repository of skills
  • bad- didn't pay attention to my own due north
• tried a lot 
  • good- know the ins and outs, learned a lot about different areas of industry, know what I want to do right now
  • bad- had to do it but it takes a lot of time 
• never let myself start slow 
  • good- I know how to get big- S corp, taxes, employees
  • bad- worried more about money than what I wanted to learn what I really wanted to do
• not selling enough- I'm learning to mention 
• not showing up enough/being vulnerable enough

what I've learned so far...

• can't skip/buy a reputation in coaching 
• I don't want to charge a ton of money
• there's a difference between what I CAN do and what I WANT to do

what's the fix? what can i learn from my past successes?

• took the pressure off being a consistent form of income- letting it take its time to grow
• when I try something new- check in with myself
• huge difference between learning and applying 
• you absolutely never know when/where/how things will change- stay open
• show up more, sell more, be yourself
• be accessible
• build your reputation

how can you get coaching around this?

It's an exercise to looks curiously at what's not going well versus a critical eye. In a coaching session I can help you learn from what's not going well/take hints from what IS going well to get you unstuck and moving toward the things you want

Tomorrow- streams of income part deux- my career

Thanks for being here!
