The TRUTH ABOUT... Show

What do you need? So many black women feel like they have to be superwomen and take care of everything for everyone else. This goes back for generations where our mothers, grandmothers, and aunties just gave gave gave of themselves and didn't really consider their own needs. Today, I unpack this topic with Carla Martin, a past client I worked with inside 9-5 To Freedom for six months. She's a stress and anxiety coach for black women and is striving to change the narrative around having to be the stereotypical “strong black woman.” In this interview, we delve into what it means to really take care of yourself and talk about where she was before joining the program, where she's at now, and how things have radically shifted for her. It's an interesting, beautiful conversation you'll want to listen to through the end! 4:39 - Carla introduces herself and describes how she helps black women 6:51 - How joining Janet's visibility challenge helped Carla 9:52 - Why self-care goes beyond treating yourself to hot baths and massages 13:22 - Carla discusses her book and how it relates to her life coaching business 20:29 - The one thing women of different ages and careers have in common 24:36 - Carla's coaching program and how it came together 29:25 - Two common problems with a lot of coaching programs offered 32:31 - Why the community experience inside 9-5 To Freedom still benefits Carla 36:18 - How Janet challenged Carla and the next stage on her business journey Have you got the salary replacement calculator yet? Before you leave your 9-5, you want the security of knowing you've replaced your salary in your business. So you need to know the numbers.

Ooh, I can't wait to get into it today! This is such a great episode and is inspired by a question I posted inside of my client Facebook group. Inside it, I asked the question: what does freedom look like to you in your life coaching business? How would it feel? What does your day look like? What are the things you haven't done that you've always wanted to do? You'll hear from two of my clients, Coaches Sherry and Denise, who share what freedom looks like to them. Afterward, I reveal my thoughts and experiences shared inside a Facebook Live on this very topic. I also discuss what happened to one of my mastermind members when she finally reached the business freedom she'd always sought out. 4:15 - Coach Sherry describes what freedom looks like to her in her business 6:15 - Coach Denise gives her perspective on business freedom 8:00 - An exercise to help you discover what freedom looks like for you... and taking it one step further 10:30 - A glimpse of what business freedom looks like for Janet on a daily basis 12:52 - The strange feeling Janet had when she reached her vision of freedom Here's my call to action to you right now: I want you to stop feeling scared and thinking you can't suddenly charge for coaching. Too many people have this fear of making money from what comes naturally to them. If you're at a point in your life where you really do need to start charging for your services because you want to have your own clients and quit your job, I'm here to tell you that it's doable for you! All of my clients are somewhere on their path to making six figures (and then some). If that's where you want to be, then get on a call with me and let's have a conversation about where you are right now and where you might be stuck

I was doing some research and optimizing my podcast show notes when I came across something very surprising. Nobody pertinent really showed up on Google for the search term “how to get high-paying coaching clients.” Isn't that crazy?! You'd think that term would've been saturated a long time ago! So I thought, “Why shouldn't I be the one to do it, then?” Not to mention that one of my clients inside the 9-5 to Freedom program was feeling a little hesitant about stepping into an area she knows like the back of her hand. So I'm taking the bull by the horns (or the microphone in hand, if you will) and talking about this for all my black life coaches out there. If you want to know how to get high-paying coaching clients who want to work with you and are ready to say, “Yeah, I was ready for this last year,” then listen up, lovely! Because on today's show, I give you some insights to ponder, including three core areas that set the foundation for your coaching program, and maybe some questions to ask yourself so you can bring in those high-paying clients. 4:05 - Janet mentions the episode that piggybacks off of this one 6:57 - The first thing to consider when you want to work with high-paying clients 8:33 - Why you need to get laser focused on this one area of your business 9:33 - The two ends of the high-paying client spectrum you need to be aware of 14:12 - The three areas where people will pay big money for a solution 18:14 - A past episode to help you create your program once the core foundational pieces are in place 20:48 - A very useful perspective to think about as you try to get high-paying clients 23:52 - Janet quickly recaps the points from the episode You've listened to the whole episode. You've taken in all the steps I laid out for you in it. You know your area of expertise and can talk about it until the cows come home. But you feel like you're stuck when it comes to moving your business forward. Don't worry, gorgeous! I can help unpack where you are right now and discover where you need to tweak and adjust things, so you can start bringing those high-paying clients to you. They're out there and waiting for you to show up. So if you're feeling it, book a call with me, and let's discuss it!

What do I mean when I say being a life coach just isn't enough? It's vital to be clear as day about what you do. People already have their guards up when it comes to coaching; some don't even see it as a real thing. So if I say “Hi, I'm a life coach” then sure, that's great. But who the hell are you speaking to? You need to be a specialist in your field and speak to those people with a specific problem. You need to be the go-to person that everyone who's looking for your solution comes to for said problem. So in today's episode, I'm going to cover being a specialist and why it'll benefit your life coaching business. Let's get into it! 4:14 - An example of a very specific audience for a life coach 5:43 - Demonstrating how specialization allows you to charge more 8:19 - Why simply saying you're a life coach is equivalent this position in the medical industry 10:27 - Why lower vs. higher ticket offer shouldn't be a thing in your business 12:31 - Leading with what you do, not the bag of tricks you use to help clients I have a training that I've put together, and it's the five steps to be able to help you replace your salary so you can eventually kiss your job goodbye. I'm telling you; this is the training that I so wish that I had when I was first starting. This is my straight-up call to action for you. If you're not ready to book a call just yet definitely go ahead and check out this brand-new training that I have. I've got the plan all laid out for you.

Do you often explain to someone what you do as a life coach and get back a blank or confused look (one that screams “I don't really understand what you mean, but okay”)? Many, many times I've worked with life coaches who communicated to potential clients in ways that no one actually understood what they did. They cloaked themselves and their business in “coach speak.” That's not a place you really want to be. Instead, you've got to keep it simple and get very clear in how you talk about your business to others and especially potential ideal clients. So in this episode, I want to tackle this on a deeper level and discuss how you articulate what you do and how you help people solve their problem. 2:09 - How ditching the coach speak worked out for one of Janet's clients 5:14 - An important key for clearly articulating what you do for clients (with a shout out to episode 58) 8:04 - Janet reads one of her client's statements as an example of clear vs. coach speak communication 10:08 - Why ditching the coach speak is much more effective 12:04 - Another example from Janet's client Kemba (who also appeared on episode 56) 15:08 - Wrapping up with Janet's best advice to help you start ditching the coach speak Do you fear showing up on social media or hesitant about putting yourself out there to potential clients and want to understand why? Maybe you've even tried articulating what you do, trying to motivate and inspire people along the way, and all you hear back is crickets. When it comes to visibility as a woman of color and black life coach, so much goes on underneath the surface that hasn't really been addressed. So I've put together a free visibility training for you. In it, you'll discover five key areas that reveal why you feel stuck and why this keeps happening to you. Get access here!

When I think back to when I was first starting out, I felt like I was losing my mind. I'd daydream or listen to podcasts like this one and get frustrated because I couldn't implement the things I heard. My mind was too rampant with ideas of what I could do, directions I could go, and so on that I felt like I was forever doomed to remain unfocused. Maybe you're feeling like you can't focus or gain clarity right now. Maybe you're ruminating over various business ideas or what you can buy to help you move forward in your coaching business. But all it's doing is getting in the way of your dreams. So how do you overcome it and get the clarity you need? In today's episode, I want to share three juicy tips I've put into practice that'll help you get more focused in your business (and reclaim your sanity). 3:43 - Janet reveals two really good previous episodes that relate to this topic 5:22 - The main thing you need to do to get your focus in check when you want to do all the things 9:12 - A tip if you're unsure of your passion and what your business should look like 11:04 - An easy tip to better enrich your life starting right now 13:20 - Your next step if you're sick of being on the hamster wheel and going nowhere You've purchased all the courses. You've watched all the trainings. You've read all the blog posts. You've networked in Facebook groups and used all the so-called necessary tools in your coaching business. And you've got barely, if anything, to show for it so far. If you're tired of staying stuck in confusion or paralysis analysis and want the clarity that'll finally set you free with the business you're meant to build, then I urge you to book a call with me. We'll have a chat (no pressure!) about getting you on a path to replace your 9-5 income so you can kiss the job that comes with it goodbye. If we connect well together and you join my 9-5 to Freedom program, then in six months or a year, you won't recognize yourself. It's your time now! Get on the call so you can get focused on your fabulous business future!

Yeah, let's get this one out of the way right off the top: a life coaching certification is very different from a life coaching business. With a certification, you have something behind you that says you're able to coach someone on a specific topic or area. Well done! But at the end of the day, it's literally a piece of paper. Just like a college degree that doesn't guarantee you'll land a job in your field of study, right? That's not an actual job, and your certification isn't an actual business. So what does it mean to have a life coaching business versus a certification? As I continue this “Back to Basics” series, I talk about the difference in terms of both real-world application and personal mindset. 2:31 - Janet mentions a few episodes you'll want to listen to 6:22 - A quick overview of what Janet covered in the previous episode 8:48 - What it means to actually have a life coaching business 12:02 - The different kind of mindset you possess with a certification versus a business 12:26 - Janet reveals another episode (or two) that compliments today's show nicely Your 9-5 job is driving you nuts. Somebody's always stealing your lunch from the company fridge or forgets to replace the toner cartridge in the printer. There's always that *ONE* person complaining about everything or gossiping behind people's back, and you just want to launch across the meeting table and hit them in their punchable face! It's time to talk, lovely. If you need someone to help get your coaching business off the ground and finally free yourself from the J.O.B. grind, let's start a conversation to see where you're at and what you need to head in the direction you want. (And yes, you'll actually be chatting with me, not a member of my team). Ready to move past your fear and get off the sidelines? Book your call -- no strong-arming and no obligation to work with me, just a chat to see what's possible for you.

This question comes up a lot! I've seen it in my Facebook group I don't know how many times. But it's a question I love to answer because sometimes I feel like the quest for certification before starting your business can become a bit of a crutch, you know? Like a procrastination tactic where you talk yourself into believing you have to get that one extra thing, that one missing piece before you're ready to start gaining clients. So do you need that life coaching certification or not? In this episode, I reveal my answer point-blank but then go further and show you what really lies underneath that's stopping you from moving forward. Let's get to it, gorgeous! 3:13 - The Facebook community post that highlights why Janet had to speak on this topic 5:27 - What having a life coaching certification will do for you 6:45 - The real issue behind this question and what your potential clients actually want to know 8:31 - What Janet's doing right now that might surprise you 10:18 - What'll actually put you ahead of the game by a year 12:51 - Why you don't want to do this common thing as your next step before you start your business 14:14 - Janet mentions a previous episode about starting on your entrepreneurial journey as a life coach If you're at that place where you feel like you want to get off the ground with your coaching business and eventually leave the job that's sucking the life out of you, then you'll love my free salary replacement calculator. It's a great tool that'll help you figure out what you need to charge to reach your monetary goals, so you can say bye-bye to the 9-5.

I'm sure you've heard the advice to find your niche or your target audience before. But what happens when you hear the phrase “find your ideal client”? Do you go into panic mode and wonder how the hell you're going to figure out who that is? It sounds like a lofty, esoteric, intangible concept oftentimes. Even when you think you know your ideal client, maybe you've reached out through social media (or even offline). And all you've got to show for it so far is crickets! Don't worry, gorgeous; I've got you! In today's episode, I continue what I call my “Back to Basics Series” and dive deep into this topic to help you discover and understand your ideal client. 9:23 - The question that'll help you begin to understand your ideal client 11:29 - One of the ways you can really clarify your ideal client 15:34 - Janet gives an example with a past client 19:14 - The interview process Janet used to help clients create courses in her previous business 21:56 - The importance of being clear on who you're serving and why 24:52 - What lots of people don't understand about getting clarity on ideal clients I have a brand-new training that I've put together and it's the five steps to be able to help you replace your salary so you can eventually kiss your job goodbye.

Recently, I had an idea and mulled it over for some time. The question of where to start as a life coach comes up a lot, and I spent three weeks trying to unpack an answer. I just kept going around in circles, getting stuck in my head, until I realized something... That's the wrong question to ask. What you need to know is where you are in your journey to becoming a life coach. And you could find yourself in one of three stages. So that's what I jump into in today's episode which is a replay of a Facebook Live. I go over the three stages so you can identify where you are. Maybe you're in a later stage or have even gone through all three by now. But regardless, it should help you clarify what you need to do next, so you can build and grow your coaching business and drop the 9-5 job. Enjoy the episode, gorgeous! 9:03 - Why being a life coach is different than having a life coach business 10:42 - The first phase of the life coach journey and how to get comfortable with the idea of being a coach 14:05 - How this commonly asked question in the second stage can become a crutch that stops you from getting started 19:00 - The limbo you can find yourself in after completing phase two 22:55 - What's likely going through your mind when you hit the third stage 29:07 - What too many people make it mean when someone says no to their offer 36:06 - Listen to episodes 23, 49, and 50 to give you an even better understanding of where you're at Are you at the point where you've gone through stage two and are ready to take the next step further? You've got the life experience, the skills, and the education behind you and really want to use your coaching business as a vehicle to leave your job? Hey, maybe you were ready last year but just didn't know what to do. Or perhaps you've been ready your whole life and want to actually start moving forward and get a clear roadmap for your coaching business with guidance, support, and accountability. Sound like you? I can hold your hand and be that support. Just go ahead and book a call with me so we can discuss how I can help you and find out which phase of this journey you're in right now.

Inside my program 9-5 to Freedom, I always emphasize working on one offer in your business. My client Kemba Samuel is an anomaly, though. She constantly has ideas and is doing all the things! She runs a clinic, has a coaching business, and offers a membership. I was able to support her despite her not wanting to go down one path. In this episode, she and I discuss her business and how she's changed since we began working together. She went from being a quiet mouse in the group and feeling invisible to getting her mojo and landing her first client within months of starting the program. You'll hear about where she was before she joined, what made her decide to jump in, where she is now, and where she wants to take her business. This is one juicy conversation you don't want to miss out on!

I'm tired of just staying where I'm at and not making any progress”? If you're ready to progress, you'll get to where you want to go faster with the support and guidance of someone along the way who'll catch you when you feel like you're in free fall.

Great coaching programs go beyond just revenue goals. They also give you intangibles like confidence in your work and knowing you'll be able to support your potential clients and make a bigger impact. Today's show was taken from a Facebook Live I did a few weeks ago inside The Online Coaching Club: For Black Life Coaches. It was inspired by a post from a successful past client, Angelica, who was featured in an Atlanta magazine recently. In it, I talk about those intangible benefits you get from being inside a coaching program, like Angelica has. I also discuss what overnight success actually looks like and why the stories you hear of them are more myth than reality. So let's dig right in! 7:44 - Janet's job once you're inside her coaching program 9:57 - What you'll gain by the time you walk away from the program 11:20 - Janet clarifies a couple of things about the results many of her clients get from her program 14:44 - Another thing that happens after you invest in yourself with a program like 9-5 To Freedom 18:16 - Daniel Craig, the anti-overnight success story, and the benefit of the slow burn of success Ready to go all in and see how you can move your coaching business forward?

When you hear the phrase “sales call,” does the boogeymen come lunging out at you? Do your palms sweat or does your heart beat faster at the very thought? Are you feeling a shit ton of resistance right now as you think back to past sales calls that left you feeling taken advantage of? I felt inspired to record this episode because I've been doing a few sales calls for clients to join 9-5 To Freedom. I figured I'd pull back the curtain and let you in on what a sales call with me looks like so that you're not left to wonder, “Oh god! Is she gonna sell to me?

One of the biggest challenges, I hear from my community and from my coaching clients IS, ‘how do I get paying coaching clients?'. BUT, it's actually the wrong question to ask. Does the thought of promoting your business on social media scare you, are you a self proclaimed introvert and happy to operate your business from the back row? If that's a YES, then this episode is for you. Here are some facts. Your business requires you to be visible and to show up for the potential clients that need you. In this episode I explore: why WoC in particular, struggle with being visible, why being visible is more of a struggle for us than our lighter brighter friends and, why staying invisible is squashing your coaching business dreams (before they have even begun). I explore the different layers that are culturally deep rooted for us and how to need to recognise these conditioning traits to be able to move forward and shine like the queen that we are.
