"The problem isn't belonging too much, it's that we don't belong enough to ourselves. We need equity in relationships. Sometimes I choose you, and sometimes I choose me. It's not either/or, we need both."In today's episode, ex-good girl and Stop People-Pleasing Coach, Sara Bybee Fisk, shares her passion for people (especially women) to live whatever kind of life they truly want for reasons they know, understand, and consciously choose.This episode is for you if:- You know you're a people pleaser and want to choose yourself more often- You aren't sure whether you're a pleaser or not, and want to learn more about what it looks like and how it shows up- You want to develop the skill of having the hard conversation, being able to disappoint people, and make sure you're running your business for yourself, etc.There are so many beautiful nuggets in this conversation. Everyone will walk away with something!To get in on that skill-building of how to disappoint people, join us in Comfortable In Business (caryngillen.com/comfortable-in-business) before Sara teaches on May 6th.

"Coaching can take so many forms, and nobody gets an A if you don't do it YOUR way.""Great things happen when you put pen to paper."Today's conversation with Jennifer Faherty, founder of Psych Paper, is a great example of how to make your coaching business work FOR YOU!Coaching is a skill set we can bring into anything and everything (even a positive psychology paper products brand!).There is no one-size-fits-all template. The way that you coach best may not even be invented yet! Think about that...Wherever you build your business, make sure it's somewhere (and with someone) you can PLAY and be well-supported in doing it your way. If you use someone else's cookie cutter or become successful in someone else's way, you'll essentially become good at being someone else, and will likely have to stop and recover at some point to find YOUR WAY. Why not just start there? Jennifer's story is a great example of what's possible. The sky's the limit!And because I know you want this...

In today's episode of Coach Business, I share an experience I had recently where I saw a post that caused me to shame spiral a bit (not for long, but enough that I wanted to talk to you about it).So often, people share things online without sharing the full story - this was one of those instances - but it led to me having some feelings, regardless.

And, especially as entrepreneurs, being able to share it in a compelling and inspiring way creates credibility and trust - as evidenced by this episode. "Life is never going stop happening to, with, and for us, so how can we (with self-compassion) be in what is vs. constantly fighting with reality and resisting it, thinking we should be somewhere we're not, faster than we're going, with different results?"Listen in and be inspired.Then, grab Katja's Signature Story Blueprint: https://bridgebuilderforchange.com/signature-story-blueprint-founders/ And her book, And Then Life Happened.-----** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.

In this week's episode of Coach Business, I am joined by Catherine Van Wert, who wanted some live coaching around the thought she was having that "it's taking too long."My hunch is that we've all been there! So often in business building (maybe even most of the time), we are not where we want to be yet, but we know where we're going and have a goal in mind.When momentum, adrenaline, and flow are hard to come by, we can still enjoy the road - that is the point! The pace of life and how we feel about it is a big part of living. When you are going slow at the pace of the choice you made for your life, it doesn't get much more empowering than that.And we can always ask: What would help you enjoy it a little more?----Want to get complimentary live coaching from me on the podcast?

"If you chose it, go for it!"It's your job to talk about what it is you're great at so people will know. What do you need to do to be loud (louder than is probably comfortable)?That's what we're talking about today. I want you to feel the impact of getting to do the amount of work you're here to do, for the people you're here to do it for, especially, because there are plenty of people out there being loud who suck at what they do - and you don't.Hiding out and hoping for the best is not a strategy, and it's a bummer because then we all miss out!If this resonates, get out there and get loud (make sure to tag me so I can cheer you on (@caryngillen).

This month marks year 15 of my coaching business, and I want to celebrate it not by talking about what I've done but what's normal.Most of us who are coaches really like and want to do this work. We want to be coaching! One thing that really gets in the way of that is seeing so much puffed-up business metric marketing and other BS that makes you feel bad about why you're doing this and what you want. Those things are beautiful, relevant, and exactly right FOR YOU.Don't let other people's goals and metrics (especially for selling you something) become your goal. Take what you need and want seriously, make it happen, and leave the rest behind.Share this episode with two fellow coaches who need to hear it and, if this resonated, check out my membership for coaches on their way to consistent and sustainable 5K months: https://caryngillen.com/comfortable-in-business/-----** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.

In this episode, I am joined by Life and Mindset Coach for women, Missy Frisch.We coached on the thought she was having - that I bet many people can relate to - "I am not clear."The thing about these unhelpful thoughts, business blocks, and saboteurs is that they're never specific enough.They create these stuck places but have no real definition or meaning, and when we poke at them that becomes clear.Listen in as we do some live coaching and Missy shifts from "I am not clear" to "I know this person!"If you would like my support around something similar and/or want to be in community with awesome people like Missy, check out my membership for coaches on their way to consistent and sustainable 5K months: https://caryngillen.com/comfortable-in-business/-----** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.

"I want to see your guts in your offers." In the last episode, we discussed opt-ins, freebies, and lists.

"Even if people should listen to you they won't unless you give them a reason to." Today, I am joined by Jonathan Goodman, creator of the Personal Trainer Development Center ($35M+ rev), fellow podcast host, and 12-time author. His latest book, The Obvious Choice: Timeless Lessons on Success, Profit, and Finding Your Way came out yesterday and I know you'll want to grab it ASAP! This episode is the perfect taster of what you can expect inside. We get into: - His "whales and minnows" philosophy - Why waypoints are more important to celebrate than goals - Why he wrote this book - Some inconvenient truths about business - Why you should always choose yourself - How to perform a 2-week test (and why you want to) - Tips to find your thing - His belief in a cycle of consistency and obsession, not "1% gains" - How you can catch yourself with a "wheels on the bus" checklist "Today, too many of us are pessimistically overinformed. Good information is not necessarily good advice for you." I have followed Jonathan for years and enjoy doing so because he is values-driven, brings a lot of clarity, and means what he says. Listen to our conversation, buy the book, and go follow him if you'd like to stay in touch @itscoachgoodman (on Instagram and Twitter). ----- ** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.

This episode on copywriting for coaches kicks off our Ask The Experts series! Today's guest is Conversion Copywriter, for coaches and online service providers Samantha Burmeister. We talk a lot about copy that converts and why that's important. We also dive into the following topics: - When you should hire a copywriter- How to know who to hire- What you should do ahead of time We also get into a myriad of copywriting tips, industry-standard conversion rates, and the specific results of an experiment we ran (with myself and a few of my clients). You will not walk away from this episode without learning something new (my hunch is you'll learn A LOT that you can put into practice immediately!) *And make sure you listen all the way to the end.

Things are getting busy this time of year but I wanted to let you know a few quick things this week... 1). The Black Friday Special on the Comfortable In Business Membership starts on Friday - and it's GOOD! You can sign up for as little as $200 and get THREE bonuses from me. - My favorite pair of comfortable, cozy pants.* - An in-depth business inventory (that many folks say just the act of filling it out clued them into a bunch of stuff going on in their business and gave them clarity). - Personalized feedback, from me, on your data and how to get more clients in your business (no cookie-cutter suggestions here - this is based on you and the answers you provided). 2). A quick behind-the-scenes look at where things are in my business and life. 3). My gratitude for you. THANK YOU! To get the Black Friday "Cozy Pants" Bundle, head to https://caryngillen.com/comfortable-in-business Black Friday to Cyber Monday and sign up! *Unfortunately, due to shipping, pants are only available to folks in the US.

As an entrepreneur, solopreneur, or small business owner, you're always doing these two things at once (until you hit about $200K): 1). Admin and nurturing your current folks 2). Getting visible and gathering new leads You have to be doing both things at once, all the time (unless you've made a specific choice to forego the second while taking some time to work exclusively on the first). Decide, based on the mix of resources you have (time, energy, and money), what you can do/where you shine, what you're doing, and why. Then evaluate. Is it working? Stop comparing yourself to that 7-figure business owner. There are a lot of steps between starting out and reaching that goal. There's no skipping the fundamentals if you want this thing to last. You have to start there. But, you also have what you need to do it your way. >> Get on my list so you don't miss out on the Black Friday goodies, coming soon!

There are so many of us who feel consistently "behind". And what I'd like to suggest today is practicing the gift of presence. What if we can be where we are AND not make that mean anything (about us or our businesses)? It's possible to let ourselves off the hook a little bit, live in the present moment, and trust that we are right where we're supposed to be right now. If any of this resonates, listen in.

This is a topic I've been coaching a lot on recently so I also wanted to share it with you here. We are always in the business of getting our next client. No business can do things in a way that gets them off the hook for marketing. But you can do it by engaging with what you already love, noticing where you lean in, and making a relational connection. Be "all in" for the stuff you're "all in" on and do business your way. ----- Comfortable in Business Membership (for Coaches making 0-5K). ----- ** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.

In this week's episode, I share my thoughts on why and how change is good - particularly related to the coaching industry. Things are different. The market has changed. People aren't buying as they used to anymore. And I think that's great! We've had to grow ourselves up and allow people to truly decide what's best for them now, instead of using scammy bro marketing tactics that hijack nervous systems and make people buy things outside their intuition and financial capacity. (Hallelujah!) You all know I'm here to sell like a human... I want people to buy and grow their businesses that way too. Change is good and we can handle it - because you are inevitable. Who you're here to be is who you're here to be, regardless of how things shift and change. ----- Links mentioned: The Bundle Plan-a-Palooza ----- ** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.

Let's talk about business quarters, particularly Quarter 4. This is a time when a lot of business owners celebrate or beat themselves up - I'd encourage you to do the former. The end of a quarter is a great time to check in and ask yourself 3 powerful questions about how you want to show up for yourself (no matter what's true). Every company does development - you should too. How can you make this the best place to work for you? And what will be true at the end of this next quarter?

I know these live coaching episodes are your favorite and today's is a real treat. I'm talking to ADHD and Leadership Coach, Kristen Santos about: - self-sabotaging behavior - trusting yourself - remembering your mission - doing your business YOUR way - living in alignment "Let's normalize the fact that it's a very easy door for a saboteur to enter through when we're doing something new." "It's my job to know myself and be myself because that's what the world needs from me." "Even when we're in business, the heart of our mission prevails as the lighthouse of our work. Check back into why you got here in the first place. The reason you're here IS what we need from you." If this conversation with Kristen resonated, I might be the coach for you.

This whole thing has been about me bringing what's inside to the outside, front and center so you can see and experience it yourself. I want people to know exactly what it's like to work with me - before they even sign up. I teach you how to do this in my free resources: 5 Ways to Make Coaching Your Marketing and How to Sell Like a Human (happening now - FREE Voxer Coaching Day is TODAY!) I also talk about it on social media (I'm @caryngillen, in all the places). So, my question for you is: How can you do what I'm modeling here - and give people a sample of what it's like to be in YOUR space or program (to create trust so they very clearly know whether what you're offering is for them or not)? How I sell IS how I serve. Want to get in on that? The Advisors Circle has up to 10 spots available starting October 1st. Is one of them yours? ----- ** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.

I know exactly what it feels like to be really good at what you do and not have enough people to do it with. Having my daughter, Liv (9 years ago), changed everything for me. My coaching business went from being more of a fun hobby on the side to my main gig (and a multiple six-figure business) because it had to. In the years since I've hit some pretty fun milestones, but one of the things I'm proudest of is helping people get more clients and create sustainable businesses they don't have to recover from. Wouldn't it be great if business energized us? It can - but not if you're trying to be someone else. Join me for the How To Get More Clients Intensive so we can uncover YOUR unique strategy. You, and your business, are one-of-a-kind... I want you to know I see you AND you can have the success you want in a way that feels good/like you. Curious if the intensive is right for you?

One person went from, "I'm so frustrated with this not working because I'm so good at what I do!" to >>> making an immediate sale and a sustained 100% conversion rate (because she walked away knowing what and how to sell). Another person got super clear on their niche.
