The Christian Life Coach & Business Podcast

This week is another interview - and I almost feel FAMOUS! If you have ever heard of The Coupon Mom, Stephanie Nelson, then you know who I'm talking about.   Stephanie's story of her business that grew from $35 to multiple million is just one highlight of this conversation.   Most recently, she release her book: Imagine More and you will love hearing all about it.   As you know, I rarely have guests with women I don't know, so this is a first and you'll find out why when you listen.   You can click here to read all about Stephanie and her work in the world and you can listen to the first chapter of her book FOR FREE by clicking her podcast. I've listened to it THREE TIMES.   https://stephanienelson.com/   https://open.spotify.com/episode/7eDmaRXsazXzud6ayK2s4n?si=ZjjsmsLmRpaBiT5485VV9g   Ready to build your coaching business?   During the first six months of my coaching business, while I was simultaneously in my coach certification program, made over $50,000 in my business. I then went on to make six figures within that first year of my launching my life coaching business. I am super passionate about helping women just like you and me, who want to serve others through coaching, while maintaining and prioritizing our primary ministries in our homes in a way that is simple and sustainable and unique to you. I'm currently accepting applications to work together privately, so you can do the same.     https://forms.gle/Tp8HkdkUHk9krosj8

Today we have the pleasure of chatting with Jennifer Berry, a dear friend, colleague, AND client! Isn't it the best when clients are colleagues and friends!? I actually had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer in person in September at the Focus Retreat! Jennifer is an author, speaker, and professional organizer.  As a matter of fact, she has been way humble in her book sales - I had NO IDEA! I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did - I love hearing the ins and outs of various coaches and to hear just HOW MUCH organization coaching is LIFE CHANGING life coaching… I sort of want to hire one! You can reach Jennifer here: iG @jenniferfordberry Jenniferfordberry.com

On today's episode I have the privilege of sharing my newest and now real life friend, Becky Kopitzke of The Inspired Business. Before meeting Becky in person, I binged her entire podcast and was thrilled to discover another female Christian business owner and coach. Becky is a Digital Product coach and works with Christian women, as well. It is so refreshing, as you'll hear.  I encourage you to listen to Becky's podcast! And check out her free masterclass, as we mentioned. She is an incredible communicator and teacher and you'll love how she integrates her love for the Lord into her business and teaching and conversations about the math of your dreams and goals, too!!

Buckle up, buttercup. It's time to get real and raw about how you're showing up on social and IN social conversations. Are you afraid to be seen in the middle or in the beginning of figuring it out? If so, it may be important to do what I did this summer: pull back, pause, pray, and pivot. What does your family need from you by way of financial contribution? Is there a way to make it happen by relieving the pressure from your coaching business and make room in other ways to generate income in the process? It's OKAY, if that's the case! Today's episode is a vulnerable share of what I had to acknowledge as I decided what I did and did not want in business and in life. What I did and did not want to focus on. How I did and did not want to back myself into a corner of who I am on social and what I do in business.

This is probably going to be one of the most vulnerable and transparent podcasts you will have heard from me to date.

In this episode, I process my thoughts firsthand with you, after wrapping up a super profound one on one session with my coach.

If you've been here long enough, you know that I wouldn't call myself a podcaster.  For me, the podcast has just been a way to authentically share my day-to-day life.

If you know my story, you know that a lot of philosophy comes from my coach's coach. Having a business coach is amazing because she  guided me  in  the different ways to make decisions and make money.

I don't think I've done an episode on the topic of niches in particular, though I actually teach something in my program that we will call the opposite of niche distraction, and then the idea of a simple offer commitment, or clean offer commitment. But what does this all mean and how can it apply to you? Well, during this episode I discuss how to determine a niche, build the perfect offer, and how to effectively overcome niche distraction.    In this episode we cover: What is a niche [1:52] If you need a detailed niche in the beginning [4:58] How to define who you coach and what packages to offer [9:58] Deciding the number of clients and refining your offer  [15:09] Dealing with overwhelm and overconsumption [19:25] What is keeping you from marketing effectively [27:35]   Follow Amberly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberlydeavours/   Apply to Christian Life Coach Business Academy: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeFd6ZSnmaiCm7Szzc7CH8V2_DYYFi5MFQtzQqZuwNKOvuaIg/viewform?usp=sf_link   Christian Life Coach Business Academy: https://www.thechristianlifecoachacademy.com

Today we are going to be talking about deliberate thought construction because I feel like I have a new lease on my business life, and I have to share with you how this happened. I explain what it means to engage in deliberate thought construction, why you sometimes overlook what is sitting right in front of you, and questions you need to ask yourself that will completely transform how you view your life.    In this episode we cover: Directing our brains to see what we are looking for  What is deliberate thought construction Questions you need to ask yourself Why we need to avoid thought destruction How you can get involved in growing your business   Follow Amberly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberlydeavours/ Apply to Christian Life Coach Business Academy: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeFd6ZSnmaiCm7Szzc7CH8V2_DYYFi5MFQtzQqZuwNKOvuaIg/viewform?usp=sf_link Christian Life Coach Business Academy: https://www.thechristianlifecoachacademy.com

Today's episode is all about tackling the feeling of not having everything figured out even when you think you should. Listen, we've all been there, and we tend to think linearly that if we finish this task we will have this part of our life figured out. But let's be real, that's not how it works out in real life, and I know that firsthand. In this episode, I talk about how I plan my own days to have a more productive week, the power of scaling your time, and how to tackle feeling overwhelmed. In this episode we cover: You don't have to have it all figured out [1:22] Planning your days [4:51] The power of scaling your time [11:16] Why it's important to delegate and organize your time [16:28] How to focus on growth and avoid feelings of overwhelm [19:35] Prioritizing your health journey [24:07] Christian Life Coach and Business Academy: https://www.thechristianlifecoachacademy.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amberlydeavours/

Thanks for joining me today.  There is part about having a coaching business that you don't hear anyone talking about.  It's the part that's emotional.  And the part that's a journey. The business you have and the business you want to have is an emotional journey very few are willing to take and complete. Because no matter how far you are, or are not, INTO your coaching businesses; you will have the business you have, the business you want to have, and the business you don't want to have depending on what's going on. I know for me, there are definitely the parts of my business I have, want to have, and don't want to have and I may share some of that here. I'm just gonna go out and say it that the key to success in the business you have, the business you want, and the business you don't want will be how you manage the emotions you experience in life and business. Passion alone to coach others into life change OR completion of life coach certification or a fancy website or a course module that you haven't even walked someone through for proof of concept does not guarantee success in your business. Here are just a few things that WILL guarantee success in your business. I am sharing them on today's podcast episode. And it's why I teach The Deliberate Method.  The fail proof method to get started and keep going.  The one that has you getting there.  The one that keeps you out of ALLLLLL the emotions that start holding you back and keeping you from taking ANY action. It lessens the recovery period.  It strengthens the emotional stamina of your business.  And it's the part you need.  Passion and a prayer alone don't build your business.  Understanding the emotions that happen in your business do. IT's not just happening to you.  We're all doing it.  It's part of the process. Have a listen today, and be encouraged.   Links: Follow Amberly on Instagram: Christian Life & Business Coach (@amberlydeavours) 6 Figures Simplified: Opt In To 6 Figures Simplified Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info  

Thanks for joining me today.  One thing that my clients mistake and struggle with the most is thinking that closing clients on a consult happens ON the consult. Closing clients happens LONG before your clients get on a consult, discovery call, interest meeting, coffee chat, whatever you want to call it. Not everyone on this earth is meant to work with you and when you actually take the number of humans it would take to meet your goal, and you think of that number in comparison with the billions of people in the universe it isn't so overwhelming. Show up in SERVICE. Share everything you can. For many, it will be life changing and you'll never hear from them. And for the ones who want to take that work deeper, they'll seek you out. Believe that what God has meant for you won't miss you.   Links: Follow Amberly on Instagram: Christian Life & Business Coach (@amberlydeavours) LINK: www.thechristianlifecoachacademy.com Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

It has almost been a year of podcasting over here at The Christian Life Coach & Business Podcast! Can you believe it?? Speaking of believing (and NOT believing) - today's episode is about identifying what you are and are not believing about your offer, the clients you work with, the results you can deliver, and the calling He has equipped you for as a Christian life coach. When we do this, we are then able to remember and be reminded of what we do believe so we will show up to our people and say what needs to be said and say it over and over until we are louder than the noise in the background. Believing what we're not believing will take us out of defeat, confusion, and frustration in our businesses and turn inaction into action. If this podcast resonated with you, and you haven't launched your business, send me a message on instagram with the word GUIDE and I'll send my free 3-Step Launch Method Guide over to you!   Links: Follow Amberly on Instagram: Christian Life & Business Coach (@amberlydeavours) Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

Thanks for joining me today.  I've recently experienced a business breakthrough that actually came about from a marriage breakthrough.  I've had a lot of coaching on doubt, failure and disbelief, but today, I'm sharing with you some questions to help you determine your best and your worst beliefs.  We can't spend all day coaching ourselves on our negative feelings.  At some point we have to take action and we need to do that from a positive perspective.  When it comes to your goals, let yourself believe for a little while.  It will be worth it.   Links: Let Me Be A Woman by Elisabeth Elliot HERE Follow Amberly on Instagram: Christian Life & Business Coach (@amberlydeavours) Mastermind Application: HERE Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

Happy New Year!  Thanks for joining Amberly today as she opens up the new year potentially stepping on some toes with today's topic.  There is one prodominant thought error that holds us back from building and growing the business we desire.  In 2023, it's time to step up and be the thought leader you need to be for your business.  You can build and grow your business alongside a life that is filled with disruptions and distractions.   Links: Follow Amberly's Instagram Podcast Episode 32: Being Who He Created You to Be Academy Enrollment: Business Beliefs Training Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

Thanks for joining Amberly today. It is officially the last podcast episode of December until I say hello to you next year! This week on the podcast I spoke about creating breaks in your business. Building breaks into your business even in the normal working day and week.  It is possible to honor the priorities of your home, your family and your children and build a successful business, while building in breaks from your business for holidays and family time, even from social media.  Taking a break from “business braining” is one of the best ways to come back strong for the new year. Focus on these things in your life and business: ✨ Building breaks into your business.  ✨Constraining your thinking when it's not working hours. ✨Spending time being present and engaged.

Thanks for joining Amberly today.  Amberly is talking about content as the pillar of your business, but also sharing about how we need to continually repeat and repurpose your actual business.  You don't have to keep recreating.  You don't have to reinvent the wheel.  You don't have to redefine as much as you need to refine in these early stages of business growth.     Links: Follow Amberly on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/amberlydeavours/ Academy Enrollment Link: The Christian Life Coach Academy Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

Thanks for joining Amberly today.  You know that you can always get authenticity and honesty from Amberly on this podcast.  Today's episode is just to bring us back to reality that sometimes what we think will happen when we arrive at our business goals, isn't actually what happens.  We have to commit and constrain, rather than reinventing the wheel.  We often don't give something the chance to scale or to become easier or more simple, because we don't repeat it again, thinking there is a better way to do it.  Listen in today for some raw wisdom on how to face the bad news and move your business forward.   Links: Follow Amberly on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/amberlydeavours/ Academy Enrollment: The Christian Life Coach Academy Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

Today is a special episode.  Recently, Amberly was asked to speak at her home church, New Covenant Church's women's event.  You will be blessed as you listen to her encourage other women at that event, and share her story.  There will always be busy seasons, seasons of hustle, but no matter what season you find yourself in, there are two things we can't sacrifice: 1) your family and 2) using the incredible gifts the Lord has given you through your local church family ministry.  God can and will use the story He is writing in your life, in your current season to encourage others along the way.   Links: Follow Amberly on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/amberlydeavours/ Christian Life Coach Academy Waitlist: https://www.thechristianlifecoachacademy.com/academy-waitlist-1-6bde807d-3cc6-4d6a-8b33-1587265073f2 Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

I consider it a great privilege that God called me to work with Christian women like you in your coaching business. What this means for you, is that you understand Ephesians 2:10: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them”. What this means for me, is that I get to remind you when you forget. One of the ways that we work through this (and spoiler alert, rarely is anything a one and done in your business) is strengthening and renewing your mind in belief. We work through this with a BELIEF PLAN. Through the belief plan process that I teach, you look for the evidence you DO HAVE that you were called to this work. You create your goals and achieve your dreams from this place. Believe it or not, your income and impact plan COMES from BELIEF. And LIVES transformed. You think about the income you want to create in your business, what you charge in your packaging, and the results you deliver with your offer -- how many sales will it take to reach that goal? When creating your BELIEF PLAN, get your three worst fears out of the way. Write them down. Take a REAL HARD look at them. How do those fears feel? What thoughts are coming up? This is important in your belief plan, because the business you desire is on the other side of these fears. Your fears aren't one and done either, so that's why I coach you on what to do as you do the emotional behind the scenes work of your business. As part of Belief Plan coaching, I have a list of questions I ask. For now, I want you to get started with these three so you can take action today in your business. Why DO you love coaching? What is always 100% in your control? What experience and evidence do you already have that this is the work for you? I actually have access to this entire training for you in my instagram bio, so if you're not following there - head on over there to grab this training! I'll actually send you a handful of videos to help you in your coaching business when you do!

When I started my life coaching business, I had experienced 6-figure success in a different business. During those few years of that business, I had learned everything about online marketing and group coaching and setting up facebook pages and implementing systems. While yes, I took the time to learn how to market online through my friends Google and YouTube and little courses and programs, there was the most important part of business that couldn't be “researched”. It was what set me apart. It's what sets you apart. It is THE part God Himself has created in you and in me. It's the part He has created Through mentoring and meeting people where they were in their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health through various ministry, personal development, and life experience. All of my life, I had basically been “coaching”. Just like you. It's why you are here. It's the fire behind the business you desire. But here is the truth: Being passionate about spurring others to step into the highest version of themselves God created them to be IS NOT ENOUGH to create a business. It doesn't always yield clients. You MUST KNOW the foundation of starting your business. It starts with: Believing you're a life coach. Trusting you've been created FOR THIS. Knowing HOW to package and price your offer. Communicating this VALUE to others. Having a simple client system for consults, invoicing, your personal process for coaching, and scheduling. I help you with each step in The Christian Life Coach Academy. BUT, the decision is all yours. The decision is continually believing that the world needs who God created you to be, and continually trusting that those dreams were planted in you for a reason. Having journals and printables of all your ideas IS NOT ENOUGH to create a business. You MUST IMPLEMENT the foundation of starting your business. And you must do so simply so you can honor your FIRST priorities.   LINKS: Mastermind Waitlist WAITLIST: Christian Life Coach Mastermind Christian Life Coach Academy Waitlist Christian Life Coach Academy Waitlist Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

I am where I am in my coaching business, because I know each and every day, with each and every idea, each and every client, each and every podcast, there is something brand new. A new lesson for me to learn. A new experience. A new person connecting. It's always new. Always beginning. Always a beginner. Seriously, I consider myself a beginner EVEN 5 years into this. Multiple niches, multiple business models, and multiple six figures later. There is ONE thought that has kept me going, trying, failing, and succeeding. “THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING” The way to carry that thought into every idea, every consult, every social media post, every new experience or skill you acquire in your business journey of life coaching is to embrace it. Embrace being a beginner. Will it be: Uncomfortable.Scary.Confusing.Frustrating.Exhausting. YES. Keep embracing it. When you don't embrace being a beginner, you'll start and stop, compare yourself to others, and have yourself convinced “it's not meant for you”. When you DO embrace being a beginner, you have your head down learning your lessons, failing your failures, and building your business by serving your clients. Keep beginning. That's the exact path to impact. That's the exact path to income. That's how YOU create the exact path to your dreams. One beginning at a time.   LINKS: Podcast Waitlist: Christian Life Coach Academy Waitlist Mastermind Application: Christian Life Coach Mastermind Produced and Edited by Lainie Thomas with Angie Elkins Media Contact: lainie@angieelkinsmedia.com for more info

Do you know how many things I've tried AND FAILED AND FELT “LIKE A FAILURE”? Do you know how many of those things I would be all fired up about one minute and then didn't want to do the next? To me, failing is anything that makes me feel embarrassed, rejected, inadequate, or like an imposter. In business, that means ALMOST ALL OF IT.

One of the listener favorites around here is that Amberly, as a mom of five, and multi-six figure business owner, is vulnerable, authentic, and transparent. She is an example of what's possible when it comes to life AND business, but she is no unicorn and does not steer away from the parts that are hard and challenging. In today's episode, Amberly unintentionally takes us down the path of a series that began last week. A follow up from last week's episode of: what you do in life and business when you're unmotivated and uninspired to what you do this week: when you're OVERWHELMED. You will feel encouraged, inspired, and have some take aways to apply if and when YOU might feel overwhelmed in life or business. As you've heard her say a million times: "Life and business happen alongside one another. How you show up in life is how you'll show up in business."   If you're new around here, the first step to get to know Amberly a little more and have access to some free training, coaching, and teaching, is to start with YOUR personal Belief Plan for the business you desire. This is from a workshop Amberly hosted this summer for her students in The Christian Life Coach Academy.    Connect with Amberly:   Business Belief Plan Free Training: https://www.thechristianlifecoachacademy.com/business-beliefs-training And make sure you're following her on social media: https://www.instagram.com/amberlydeavours/ Additionally, The Christian Life Coach Academy is OPEN FOR ENROLLMENT!  Head to the website: www.thechristianlifecoachacademy.com to join today!

Thanks for joining Amberly today.  It's easy to think your entrepreneurship journey as a life coach has to look a certain way or like someone else's to be "successful". It's easy to think you have to have EVERYTHING ready before you begin: your office, your background, your life, your home. I'm here to assure you, YOU DON'T. If any of us wait to start until we or "it" is ready - we will either never start or simply delay helping the ones God has created us to help. In this episode, I share the behind the scenes of how my life and environment was anything BUT ready before I created The Christian Life Coach Academy and had *I* waited, the women I am coaching wouldn't be coaching HUNDREDS of women collectively. Additionally, they wouldn't be making an income to give generously to the Kingdom and meet the needs (and desires) of their families.   In fact, just this week, my client Chelle will hit the first $25K in her business and she began her business 3 months ago WHILE working her full-time job.   The Christian Life Coach Academy will be opening soon for enrollment. To stay in the loop -- watch this FREE TRAINING that my clients have LOVED from a workshop I hosted this summer. If you are feeling overwhelmed, confused, uncertain you actually have what it takes - OR you simply want to take it to the next level - this training is for you!
