In this week's episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I spoke to Joanna Lott about the realities of building a coaching or consulting business from the ground up. We explored the challenges new entrepreneurs face, from defining a niche and mastering marketing to overcoming visibility fears and developing a strong money mindset. Joanna also shared practical advice on leveraging personal connections, adapting to client needs, and embracing the messy, rewarding journey of entrepreneurship.  Whether you're just starting out or refining your approach, this episode offers actionable insights for growing a thriving consulting business. In This Episode:  [00:00:00] Joanna shares her background and motivation for helping coaches. [00:01:17] Discussion about the gap between coach training and actually building a business, and the misleading promises from training organizations. [00:03:21] Joanna describes the shock new coaches face regarding marketing, sales, and the importance of niching. [00:05:20] Clarifying the focus on executive and corporate-facing coaching, and the dual audience of organizations and individuals. [00:09:15] Advice on aligning marketing messages to organizational pain points and the importance of targeting decision-makers. [00:11:45] Joanna's advice on choosing a specialism, researching organizational needs, and being open in client conversations. [00:15:10] Discussing the discomfort around sales, visibility, and the money mindset issues new coaches face. [00:17:17] The value of reaching out to existing contacts for leads, and the vulnerability involved in doing so. [00:21:00] Stories about landing first contracts, learning to ask about budgets, and the evolution of pricing confidence. [00:23:58] The importance of being willing to fail, adapt, and learn from missed opportunities in proposal and offer development. [00:25:16] Encouragement to embrace high-ticket pricing and the reality that there's no single “right” answer in new service creation. [00:28:36] The role of resilience in entrepreneurship, celebrating growth milestones, and the emotional rollercoaster of early business. [00:31:58] Recognizing that business growth takes time, and the need to persist through uncertainty and discomfort. [00:34:40] Stories of how both hosts' businesses changed over time, and the importance of letting your brand and offers evolve. [00:38:38] Practical advice for new coaches. Key Takeaways: Visibility, sales resistance, and money mindset are the biggest hurdles. Getting over the fear of being seen and learning to confidently price your services are non-negotiables if you want to grow. Many high-value corporate contracts begin with a simple message to a past colleague. Be clear, be specific and always end with a question, not a full stop. Successful proposals start with curiosity. Don't cling too tightly to a pre-planned offer - let conversations with organizations shape what you deliver and how you position it. Quotes:  “The heartbreaking thing is that people just don't buy freedom or having a great life. They don't buy coaching. They buy the result that they want.” - Joanna Lott “I find clients get very attached to their offer. … If they just take a step back and really, really listen in those conversations, they could gain more opportunities. Because if you're trying to only pitch your one little offer that you've got in your head that you want to sell, it's really tricky. Get the other person talking as much as possible as to what their challenges are, and then essentially use your coaching skills to reflect everything you heard and decide at that point, if that's something that you want to offer or not.” - Joanna Lott “So I think it is being willing to learn and fail in public in front of people that perhaps you used to know. And yeah, not always knowing the right answers… There is no one right figure that's going to mean you are 100% guaranteed to get this contract.” - Joanna Lott “We can only learn in the trenches, in the sandbox, by getting our hands and feet dirty. That's the way it has to be.” - Jessica Fearnley “I often find those conversations that I get my clients having have a really fruitful outcome in terms of leads and sales. Even this year, I've got several clients who've made multi six-figure deals just by phoning up people that they've known for 20 or 30 years. It's such a quick win, but that can be such an uncomfortable thing to do because all of these things come up, like, ‘who am I to ask for this?'” - Jessica Fearnley   Useful Links Joanna:  JoannaLottCoaching.com 2025 Success Planner for Coaches Women in the Coaching Arena Podcast Jessica: Buy Jessica's book, Too Much, on Amazon Get in touch with Jessica to discuss your consulting business Leave a rating and review for the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast Connect with Jessica on LinkedIn   Guest Bio Joanna Lott is a business coach who helps qualified coaches attract clients with honesty, not hype.

An opportunity to connect with John Miller of the Agile Classroom, a next-generation learning framework, with a student-centered approach, emphasizing collaboration, communication, self-organization, and social skills . We look at the Agile classrooms approach focusing on real-world approaches that the most innovative companies in the world use brought to a classroom setting. What the structures, workflows and pedagogic strategies for educators to consider when working with this framework.  About John Miller I had worked for years as an Education Technology Director for a school district, which as a whole, wanted to move towards integrating 21st century skills within the curriculum. But what we found was that we could not change the way students learn, without first changing and modeling these 21st-century skills in the staff and teaching methods themselves. Using Agile, I spearheaded an innovative and engaging way to organize workflows with self-managed teams and quick feedback, creating a healthy and productive workplace culture that allowed for growth and prosperity. John is a Certified Scrum Trainer, Certified Enterprise Coach®, Certified Professional Co-Active Coach, ICF Associate Certified Coach, Spiral Dynamics Integral Level 2, and a Project Management Professional. When not focused on work, John loves to surf (well, wiping out more than actually surfing), spend time with his family and 2 daughters, volunteer as a life coach for students, and make insanely delicious drinking chocolates.   John Miller on Social Media Twitter: @agileschools   Website: https://agileclassrooms.com/    John Mikton on Social Media LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmikton/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/jmikton Web: beyonddigital.org   Dan Taylor on social media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dantcz/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/DanTaylorAE Web: www.appsevents.com   Listen on: iTunes / Podbean / Stitcher / Spotify / YouTube Would you like to have a free 1 month trial of the new Google Workspace Plus (formerly G Suite Enterprise for Education)?

How did getting a coach help her? Why is it a mistake to not ask for help? We talk about what she's learned along the way and more. We also talk about questions and topics including: What were your adjustments career wise? Letting life create her instead of creating her life? Tell us about the book — why did you write it? What is “negative self talk” and why is it so common in our heads? What's your “gremlin”? Do we all have one? How can we recognize doubts and negative self talk?

So many people have suffered from trauma in their lives. We often think of trauma as a huge, life-altering event, but it can be much more nuanced than that. No matter what you've been through - big or small - your experiences are valid. In this episode, Sheila Anne defines trauma and gives concrete examples of how it can manifest itself in our lives through behavioral patterns. If you're an overachiever or a people pleaser, there might be some serious eye openers in this episode for you! Sheila's mission is to help ambitious women thrive in body, mind, and soul. She supports clients and groups in making whole-person change by holding space for their unique experiences, offering new perspectives, and intuitively integrating healing modalities. She is a Trauma-Informed Certified Coach, Whole Person Certified Coach, ICF Associate Certified Coach, and Yoga Instructor. Connect with Sheila! https://www.sheilaanne.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sheflowsandgrows/ Some key takeaways on trauma are: You might think of major events or experiences when you think of “trauma,” but there are a lot more nuances to what can cause trauma. Intergenerational trauma, unmet needs when you were a child, and even life events that are usually branded as exciting changes like moving can bring trauma. Sometimes our behavioral patterns can give us clues to past traumas. For example, deriving your value from being busy and always accomplishing things might come from observing someone in your life exhibit “laziness” that made them unable to find belonging. It can be easy to attach your identity to these behavioral patterns over time. I called myself “The Queen of Indecision” for so long to mask my own pattern, and I've had to work to let go of that identity so I can get curious about my indecision and start to overcome it. Letting go of that identity allows you to work to overcome some of the impacts from trauma. Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that's me!). My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn't lighting them up, and what they did to change that.

Do you thrive on external validation? So many of us do, and this week Sheila Anne Murray is unpacking why we feel the need for external validation and how to find internal validation and self worth. Sheila Anne Murray is a Whole Person Certified Coach, ICF Associate Certified Coach, and Certified Yoga Teacher.

She works with women privately, in groups, and often offers themed workshops. Be sure to check out Sheila's newest offering, NOURISH, a one-of-a-kind group coaching program! https://www.sheilaanne.com/nourish/ Follow Sheila on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sheflowsandgrows/ Sheila's website: https://www.sheilaanne.com 3 key takeaways about external vs. internal validation: Stuckness happens to everyone, it can be like the flu where you don't feel good and can't imagine ever feeling better again. To become unstuck, do a good thing for yourself that brings you the feelings that you want to encourage more of in your life. We are conditioned to be outside-in learners, meaning we learn about ourselves based on what's happening externally. Take time to be quiet and in the moment to become an inside-out learner. A good place to start working on internal validation is identifying peak moments that make you feel like yourself and then identify what parts of your character came out of those moments.
