I Used to Think Anyone Claiming $10k Months was Full of Sh*t

October 4, 2023 by admin

I used to think coaches charging $10k for 6 months were kinda a scam. 

Like, who did they think they are, and who has that kind of money to invest?

I also used to get triggered AF by coaches I saw claiming they made $10k/month, doubly so if they said it was effortless or easy. I full on eye-rolled anyone who also included any sort of manifesting lingo along with those results.

What I can also tell you, 7 ½ years into business later, now making consistent $25k - $40k cash months myself, is my beliefs, fear, and lack of self-trust held me back and cost me time and potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars at the start of my business.

I’ve always invested in my business and self. 

But, the truth is, I played it small, and what I thought was “safe” in those early years and my bank account reflected the same.

I didn’t actually think it was worth it to invest at a higher level at the time.

I didn’t think I’d be able to get an ROI that was worth it.

Or that coaches would just tell me to spend a bunch on FB ads.

I thought I could outsmart the system and cobble together a business foundation on my own by studying other people’s funnels.

I thought I could webinar and podcast my way to healing my trauma, managing my mind, and becoming a CEO. 

I didn’t want to admit I was scared.

Scared of losing it all and not being able to pay rent and support myself in an expensive and new city (NYC) that I was building a life in.

Scared I’d make the wrong decision and f*ck it all up.

Scared I’d find out, actually, I didn’t have what it takes -  that I wasn’t good enough - and I’d just be paying for someone to validate this fear.

Scared to be seen and exposed by someone who was “better than me”.

Simultaneously scared I *would* “make it” and have to sit with and navigate all that entails - could I handle it? Hold it? 

Today, it’s not that I don’t ever get triggered or scared anymore - I’ve grown, not turned into a robot 😜- it’s that I trust myself to discern the investments that are right for my business and me, and I trust myself to show up for and make the most out of any investment.

I know and trust, when I invest in myself, I speed up my timeline exponentially. 

What took me 2 years on my own, spinning my wheels, gets collapsed into 1 year, 6 months, 3 months, 1 month when I have the right high-level support by my side.

I also know, I stand to LOSE far, far more in lost time and potential earnings when I don’t invest in support than I’ll ever lose investing. 

Sure, in those early years, $10k for a coach was legit ⅓ of my yearly salary at the time (I picked up a second job to get the cash!), but given my business now makes $350k+ a year, I can see I was being “penny wise, pound foolish.”

I also know, an email like this back in the day would have also made me angry. I would have thought this is the kind of thing coaches write to try to convince other people to pay them. 

Now? I KNOW coaches write emails like this because once you’ve worked through your sh*t and have bet on yourself big and experienced the payoff, you can’t unsee all the ways you used to hold yourself back and play small and you want better for others. 

And, you just want to scream from the rooftops to others that sometimes playing it safe is actually the riskiest and most expensive thing you can do in business.

All that said, I also don’t by any stretch of the imagination expect anyone who’s just met me to be ready to invest and jump into a long-term coaching relationship…I mean, I wasn’t ready to get married the day I met my husband!

Which is why I want to invite you to join me for a way to work together in a much more accessible and affordable coaching intensive this fall, that will also allow you a way to experience working together and the results it can provide for you and your business.

And, because I really do GET it and want to put my money where my mouth is, I’m making this an easier next step for you to bet on yourself and cut the timeline down on your own results.

Join me for an exclusive Free $100k CEO Mindset & Strategy Session.

Together, we’ll audit your business and identify the right gap to close to increase your visibility, and bring in more right-fit leads that fill your programs with right-fit clients for recurring $10k and $20k+ months.

Then, if it’s feeling like a fit, we can talk about the next date and what it would look like to work together in one of my Unapologetic Words that Sell Coaching Intensives I’m opening up through the end of the year.

Book your free session here.

Seriously, if you’ve even been *thinking* about taking me up on this, NOW is the time and you have nothing to lose - remember, this is a crazy cakes offer and FREE. But, yes, you will want to hire me after 😝.

Given I also run a booked out, multi-six-figure business, and I’m busy supporting my 1:1 clients, these are also limited, first come, first served, and for those of you I haven’t had the honor of supporting before.

Wishing you your version of success, and let’s make some money together!

Wishing you your version of success.

My clients’ get epic results, like six-figure and $700k+ years because they’re brave and willing to be coached to find what works for them versus following someone else’s plug-n-play formula for success. 

They’re also willing to stick with the same coach - instead of hopping around - which means we’re able to grow together, do better and better work, and tailor everything to what actually works for them (and catch their favorite ways to sabotage from a mile away).

Know you’re ready for the same kind of support to make your own six and seven-figure years?

Allow me to put my money where my mouth is and join me for a free $100k CEO Mindset & Strategy Coaching Session as a way to connect, experience my coaching style, and discern if we’re a fit to work together.
