Life Coaching Secrets

We've been sold a myth that job security comes from working for someone else. A steady paycheck, benefits, and a corporate ladder are supposed to make us feel safe. But in today's episode, we're flipping that idea on its head. Because the truth is—security doesn't come from your employer. It comes from you.

From total flexibility and low overhead, to unlimited income potential and lasting demand, coaching gives you full control over your income, your purpose, and your time. We'll also talk about how, with the right skills and training, you can create a career that grows as you grow—without ever having to wait for permission, promotions, or 4% raises again.Whether you're feeling stuck in a job that's comfortable but unfulfilling, or you're ready to take full ownership of your career, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew about security—and show you what's possible when you become the boss.To start a successful coaching business, visit ⁠www.thrivingcoachacademy.com⁠.

Have you ever felt guilty for wanting more in life—more success, more wealth, more fulfillment? Maybe you've told yourself to “just be happy with what you have,” or worried that aiming higher makes you selfish.

In this episode, we're breaking down the biggest myths about ambition, success, and wealth, and why it's completely OK to want more for yourself.Too often, people confuse gratitude with settling, thinking they can't be thankful while also striving for something greater. But true fulfillment comes from both appreciating where you are and embracing growth.

If you've ever thought about becoming a coach but assumed you needed a massive social media following, a flashy personality, or constant content creation to succeed—think again. Coaching and influencing are two completely different paths, yet many people mistakenly believe they have to market themselves like influencers to attract clients. In this episode, we're breaking down the key differences between coaches and influencers—how they make money, how they build their businesses, and why true coaching success has nothing to do with going viral.The reality is, coaching thrives on depth, not reach. While influencers focus on growing an audience and monetizing attention, coaches succeed by creating real transformations for a small number of clients. You don't need thousands of followers or daily social media posts to build a thriving coaching business—you just need the right tools, conversations, and relationships. I'll also bust some of the biggest myths holding aspiring coaches back, like the idea that you have to be highly charismatic or constantly “on” to be successful.If you've been wondering whether you need to be an influencer to thrive as a coach, let's set the record straight. You don't have to chase algorithms, perform for an audience, or measure your success in likes and shares. Coaching is about human connection, trust, and deep impact—and that's where your real power is.To start a successful coaching business, go to: https://www.thrivingcoachacademy.com/

Many people are born coaches without even realizing it. People are often unaware of what it really takes to be successful as a coach, and people question if they have the potential to do well in this career.  When people hear about leadership coaching, life coaching, or business coaching for the first time, they think that the signs you will successful are if you have a lot of life experience, a large following, and charismatic, high energy personality. The truth is that none of those elements matter. When I started life coaching in early 20's, I had little life experience. I did not have a large following or network. I was (and still am) introverted and shied away from the spotlight. Most people who become coaches realize that, in all their previous careers, something hasn't quite stuck.  When they finally discover coaching, they realize it's the exact thing they've been looking for. Coaching takes all the things they've loved about all their jobs and puts it all together, while also eliminating all the things they didn't like. In this episode, I take my research from training over 1,000 coaches to reveal the five traits of every great life coach.

While you may be experiencing difficulties on the outside, on the inside you know that you are living your truth. You can also think of this as Outward Failure and Inward Success.  Bad Failure is the failure you experience when you know deep down you are capable of more. It's when you are successful on the outside but unfulfilled on the inside.  You are going through the motions, but you feel like you are not living to your potential. While others may praise and recognize you for accomplishments, your life doesn't carry much meaning. You are wondering, "Is this really all?" You can also think of this as Inward Failure and Outward Success.  In this episode, I share how to understand your failures so you can show up to your life in the fullest way imaginable.

The Burden of Open Decisions Macri highlights the prevalence of indecisiveness in our lives, noting that many people avoid making decisions altogether or take an excessive amount of time to do so. He explains that open decisions, those that remain unresolved or incomplete, can weigh us down and drain our energy. They keep us stuck in a state of uncertainty, preventing us from moving forward and experiencing personal growth. To overcome this challenge, Macri encourages listeners to examine their own decision-making tendencies. He asks them to consider whether they see themselves as decisive individuals or if they struggle with making choices. By recognizing and acknowledging their decision-making patterns, individuals can begin to shift their mindset and develop a more decisive approach to life. Macri asserts that decisiveness is a crucial leadership quality, particularly for those looking to build successful coaching businesses. He explains that making decisions generates power and momentum, propelling us forward in our personal and professional lives. By embracing decisiveness, individuals can create the life they desire and make a significant impact on others. To help listeners become more decisive, Macri provides a series of questions that can be used to guide decision-making processes. These questions prompt individuals to tune into their true desires, bypassing external influences and fears. By focusing on what they truly want and trusting their intuition, individuals can make decisions that align with their values and goals. Macri shares his personal experience of moving across the country as an example of making uncomfortable decisions. He explains that the hardest decisions in life are often the ones that lead to the most significant transformations. While these decisions may be uncomfortable and challenging, they are essential for personal growth and creating a fulfilling life. To navigate uncomfortable decisions, Macri advises listeners to make choices from their heart and gut rather than their head. He explains that our fears reside in our heads and often lead to indecisiveness and procrastination. By tapping into our intuition and trusting our instincts, we can make decisions that align with our true desires and values. Macri also challenges the notion of regretting past decisions, suggesting that every decision we make serves a purpose and offers valuable lessons. He encourages listeners to reframe their perspective on past choices, viewing them as opportunities for growth rather than mistakes. By embracing the lessons learned from previous decisions, individuals can approach future choices with confidence and self-trust. In conclusion, the Life Coaching Secrets podcast episode on decision making offers valuable insights and strategies for becoming more decisive in our lives. Macri emphasizes the importance of closing decision loops and avoiding the trap of open decisions that drain our energy and keep us stuck.

So, the next time you find yourself facing a difficult decision, remember the power of making choices and the transformative impact they can have on your life.
