Hello friends! Let’s talk about how to use precise journal prompts to help your clients shift from emotional overwhelm to feeling calm.
I’m Shikah and I’m a former counsellor who helps coaches get more leads and sales with content marketing. Let’s get straight to a content idea you can share with your audience.
If you have had clients who find it difficult to identify their emotions, if they get stuck in a loop feeling the same negative emotions over and over again, or if they analyse their emotions using too much logic instead of embracing those emotions, then this video or podcast ep can help you.
Well-thought-out journaling prompts are not just empty questions, they can start inner conversations if someone actually pauses and reflects on the prompts seriously.
If you want a copy of these 5 prompts, just key in your email and I will send it to your inbox.
Prompt number 1 is “What are 3 emotions I am feeling right this moment?'“
Emotions are nuanced, and writing just one emotion on a piece of paper cannot provide depth or undertsanding of your own emotions. Hence, encourage your clients to write 3 to 5 emotions they are feeling in the moment. For example, their response can be “The 3 emotions I am feeling right now are: slightly frustrated, boredom and a little anxiety.”
This trains them to be more self-aware and be more in touch with their emotions. We rarely just feel one emotion at one time, we feel quite a few. And these few emotions can be caused by a few events. To understand our triggers, it is always helpful to pinpoint 3 - 5 emotions we are feeling at any one moment.
Prompt number 2 is “Where in my body do I feel these heavy emotions?”
This encourages your clients to tune in to your body and be present. They may answer something along the lines of “I feel as though there is a weight in between my shoulder blades”, “I feel a churning in my stomach”, “I feel heavy in my heart space (or chest area)”, “I feel tension around my forehead.” This places them as an observer of their emotions rather than being engulfed by those emotions. This prompt will also boost their self-awareness. The more specific they can describe those emotions and pinpoint the physical location of them, the more self-awareness they have.
At this point, you may be wondering if you can get a copy of these prompts so you can share them with your audience. That’s why I want you to download my free coaching journal prompt ideas do you can use it as a lead magnet to grow your list.
Simply key in your email address above to get your copy for free.
Now with that out of the way, let’s move on to the next coaching journal prompt to help your clients shift from overwhelm to calm.
Prompt number 3 is “What are the likely triggers of these emotions?”
I know that this prompt can be very challenging because your clients have to come face-to-face with their mistakes or negative past. If we approach this prompt gently, it can be very helpful for them to not repeat past mistakes and make better, wiser decisions. The triggers can be as simple as “I feel frustrated because of my exhaustion today - and this is triggered by me sleeping past midnight yesterday.”
The emotional triggers can also be poor time management, lack of direct communication with people, not having clear goals and more. You can always prompt your clients to set a timer for 5 minutes and write non-stop about what they intuitively feel are the triggers for their negative feelings. You can remind them to be as honest, raw and as uncensored as possible so that this journaling can be a form of emotional release. Nobody needs to read their writing, so they can be truly honest with themselves and destroy the writing afterwards.
Prompt number 4 is “What stories am I telling myself about my emotions and situation - and are they 100% true?”
This is where your clients have to pause and reflect if their possibly negative perspective is causing them to feel a certain way. For example, if your client is a freelance artist and her friend made an off-hand comment about freelance workers being irresponsible, does your client take that personally and feel hurt? Does she tell herself that her friend is throwing shade at her and starts withdrawing from this friend?
If this happens, your client can ask herself this question: “Is my assumption 100% true? If not, what else can be true?”
Your client can stretch her creativity and write down 5 different ways of interpreting this situation.
Perhaps her friend who made this so-called hurtful comment was simply projecting her frustration about her own family member who happens to be a freelance worker and is irresponsible. Or perhaps that friend was being defensive about her personal decision to be a workaholic. Or she may be echoing her inner critic and ego which equate her self-worth to a high-paying job.
From this cognitive reframing example, you can see that there are many angles for us to explore just one comment made by someone else. Your client can use this coaching journal prompt to diffuse any anger, hurt or fear they may feel when on the receiving end of a negative comment.
Prompt number 5 is “What can I do right now to honour these emotions in a healthy way?”
As a coach, this is where you guide your clients to take the action they need to do - not the action they are tempted to do. When they feel stressed out at work, the temptation to lash out and take their frustration out on family members can be strong. Or your clients may be tempted to numb the stress out by eating excessively, drinking, watching Netflix till late hours or other unhelpful coping methods.
You can gently point out the difference between reacting to their stress and honouring their stress. Honouring their stressed-out emotions and other negative emotions can look like calling a trusted friend for support, talking to a therapist, journaling out their emotions, proactively planning how to set healthy boundaries at work, indulging in a hobby or going to the gym to release pent-up anxiety.
If they are lost and not sure what to do to honour their emotions, they can simply pick up a pen and a notebook to journal continously for 10 minutes using the 5 prompts we have discussed in this video. Encourage them to get as raw, as unfiltered and as authentic as possible to shift those emotions and feel calmer.
Now you know the 5 coaching journal prompts to help your clients process their emotions, you may be wondering how you can use these prompts for your coaching business.

Creating a business 'for fun'. Is there such a thing?
Hi friends!
In today’s episode, I want to share some behind-the-scenes struggles I was facing when I wanted to set up a NEW business ‘for fun’.
For context, I am a creator. I love creating content, particularly self-help and mindset content. I am trained as a counsellor and I create done-for-you coaching tools which you can use or sell to your clients.
Recently, I wanted to set up a new affirmations and mindfulness business because I love it. It is driven by passion purely and I want to make some income out of it because I don’t want all my efforts creating podcast episodes to go to waste.
So I set up a YouTube channel and also a podcast of the same name. In my idealistic vision, all I have to do is pick up my mic, record my motivational episode for the day and publish it on my new podcast. And then hopefully it will gain traction and grow.
But I ran into many little roadblocks.
Number 1, I am someone who needs a script before recording any podcast epsiode because I have a tendency to go off-topic or get nervous half-way. I needed to draft a script before recording even a 7-minute episode for this new podcast. It sounds manageable. So I did it.
I also need to edit the recording. I have to delete some pauses, delete some stuttering in the podcast recording. Perhaps even add auto-captions to it. All these are extra work. And if I want to upload this podcast episode on YouTube, I would need to open up Canva and create thumbnails for it.
After that, I realised that I do need to market my new podcast somehow. Which means, I have to create YT shorts, reels and more.
And then, I would also need to have a new blog to park my new episodes to rank in SEO. I know how to do that with my current business, so it’s not anything new for me.
And then I would need an email marketing service. Because, all businesses need email marketing in some way, in my opinion. As you can see, a small business which I wanted to create for fun (and some income) needs a lot of work.
Also, my current coaching content business is a B2B business whereas my new mindfulness business is a B2C business. The approach is different. I am a one-woman show so 2 businesses was a lot to handle.
Not to mention the new expenses that I will have to incur if I want to start a new business. The blog hosting, the email marketing service and more.
What I want to share is that setting up a business for fun is not as easy as we imagine it to be. Creating free content is not free on our part.
How can we solve this? I would say a mindset shift is needed if you want to set up a business ‘for fun’.
Number 1 : Don’t place high expectations on it. If you expect or have the goal to make money from this business, it’s not ‘for fun’ anymore. It will need work and commitment. If it is truly a passion project, let it remain a passion project. Create for the sake of your love for creating.
Number 2 : If you want to launch a passion project for fun, dont let naysayers bother you. There will be people who tell you that it’s a waste of money and effort. They might say “Why are you spending $300 a year and wasting your time creating and editing podcast episodes when you are not making money or have the intention to make money?”
My argument for that is : everyone has a hobby. If your hobby is creating podcast eps and videos, so be it. Most hobbies cost money! Someone else might have cooking as a hobby. That costs money too. If you are a foodie and you love exploring new food places, that costs money too. As a creative person, if creating gives you joy and you can afford the expenses that come with it, do it for the fun of it.
All in all, if you have an idea to create a business ‘for fun’, and you are going to treat it like a fun hobby, you are probably not going to make much money for it, in my opinion.
I may eat my words in future, I don’t know. I stand corrected. But from my viewpoint and experience, a business no matter how small, needs consistency and marketing.
I don’t know what I’m going to do with my new podcast channel.
I might just treat it as a fun project, as a way to inspire listeners and not put any expectations on it. My mistake was to place monetary gain as part of my expectations when I do not have the time to commit to another business, truthfully.
Let me know your thoughts about creating a business!

How to challenge the fear of failure in your coaching clients
In this blog post, I will share 4 steps on how you can start to challenge the fear of failure in your coaching clients.
Hello friends! I’m Shikah, I’m a former counsellor and I create done-for-you lead magnets and workbooks for coaches.
Today, I’m going to share how you can challenge the fear of failure in your coaching clients. Actually, a fear of failure is more common than we think although it is not obvious. Many of us do not like to admit that we have a fear of failure or a fear of making mistakes.
That’s because too many of us have been conditioned that being a grown-up means you have to be fearless and you have to have your life together. Truth is, having a fear of failure, perfectionism and low cofidence are somehow inter-related and these issues are common amongst us.
In this blog post, I will share 4 steps on how you can start to challenge the fear of failure in your coaching clients.
#1. First, get your clients or audience to select a mini goal which they want very badly, but are too scared to take action on.
Examples are starting a YouTube channel, starting a side hustle, speaking up at work, taking up a new project at work or in business, applying for their dream job, publishing an ebook, creating an online course, doing an Instagram ‘live’, vlogging, podcasting. This goal has to be something which they have been wanting to do for a long time but have been procrastinating on.
I’ll share a personal example. One of my ‘mini goals’ is to publish an ebook on Kindle. But I have not entertained this idea much because the thought of having people leaving me a one-star rating or readers brutally dissecting and criticising my work - is too much for me to handle. Hence, I have a fear of failure when it comes to publishing books. This is ironic because I write workbooks and masterclasses for coaches - and I get grateful emails from them often - but I still have a fear of failing when it comes to putting my work out there in the masses. This is one example of how our fears can be irrational and our fears are not necessarily the truth.
If your clients have projects that they are dying to start but have not taken any action yet, you can explore whether they have a fear of failure in this aspect.
#2. The second step is to write down the number one fear that they have when it comes to starting this mini-goal.
It can be a fear of being judged, a fear of potential public embarrassment if they ‘fail’, a fear of disappointing themselves if they could not execute this mini-goal well, a fear of disappointing other people (this is especially relevant if they want to start a coaching business, for example, and have a fear of ‘failing’ to help their clients succeed) or even a fear of having their lifelong dreams crumbling if they ‘fail’.
All these fears are unique and valid to them. They are likely to be very emotionally attached to this mini-goal and associate mistakes with really big negative outcomes. You can explore where this fear comes from. Does it come from low self-worth? Does it come from unrealistically high standards where they expect themselves to get acknowledged or rewarded the first time they start something new?
In my own example, I have a fear of failure when it comes to publishing ebooks on Amazon. My number one specific fear is ‘potential public embarrassment if my ebook flops.’ I am terrified in case my readers find my books unhelpful, ‘basic’ or flawed in any way. However, this is an imagined negative scenario which does not even exist. I don’t want to sound too delusional or too presumptuous, but positive scenarios are also equally possible. In fact, I may even get many fans for my future ebooks - especially if I write my books with the sincere intention of helping people.
If I were to explore my own fears, I know that they stem from my upbringing. I was brought up to believe that my achievements and results were equivalent to my self-worth. That is why failure and mistakes - especially public failures, of course - are terrifying for me. This is something I am constantly working on and being self-employed helps me relax my perfectionism so much. That’s because you practically can’t function as a business owner if you are a perfectionist - it will practically cripple you and stop you from taking any action.
I’ve always believed that one of the fastest ways for personal growth is self-employment - self-employment and parenthood, to be exact - but that’s another topic for another day.
Now before I move on to the next step, if you want a free Challenge your Fear of Failure lead magnet to grow your email list, then make sure you enter your name and email address below.
I have a free 7-page activity which you can share with your audience to help them reduce their fear of failure. Again, make sure to type your name and email address and I’ll send it to your inbox.
Now with that out of the way, let’s move on to the next step on how to challenge the fear of failure in your clients.
#3. The next step I have for you to challenge the fear of failure in your audience is to find evidence that their fear is true.
This might sound counter intuitive at first. However, when we ‘force’ clients or ourselves to find evidence to prove our fears right, we will realise that it is hard to find concrete or convincing evidence to support our own made-up fears.
That is because the fearful, ‘scary’ situation in our minds are completely made-up and do not exist. This step can jolt them into realising how irrational their fears can be. As an example, for myself, I have a fear of potential public embarrassment if my ebook flops on Amazon.
It is actually difficult for me to find evidence to support this. If I force myself to come up with evidence, I will write something like this “I don’t have evidence that my fears are true because this failure has not happened. However, I have observed that people can be truly critical of creators online. I only have to surf forums like Reddit, certain Facebook groups or even read reviews on Amazon to see how critical people can be of writers and any creator who puts their work out there. So my fear of potential public embarrassment is valid.”
This step can be very powerful because it gives someone the realisation that their fears are not as ‘scary’ as they imagine. And in fact, I feel almost silly writing my fear down because my fear seems rather small in comparison with my bigger purpose for writing an ebook. This step can make your clients realise that their purpose of wanting to pursue their mini-goal is more important than their fears of failure and embarassment.
#4. The next step I have to help your clients challenge the fear of failure is to find evidence that their fear is not true.
As you already expect, this step is also important.
I call this step the ‘positive feel-good step’ because the purpose is to motivate them, hype them up and remind them of their strengths. This is where your clients will have to think of their past achievements which are related to their mini-goal, recall testimonials or words of affirmation they’ve received in the past or remind themselves of their true genuine intention for wanting to start that mini-goal in the first place.
Using my own personal example, I will likely write this “My fear of potential public embarassment if my book flops, may not be true because there are many beginner writers who have received praise and testimonials for their first book. I, myself, have received hundreds of testimonials for my done-for-you materials for coaches. Also, I’ve noticed most people are generally kind and appreciative. I have also underestimated my abilties numerous times before - so my fear can be a reflection of me underestimating myself again. At the same time, I don’t have to label myself a ‘failure’ if my book does not do as well as I hope. As long as I write with the intention to help, and there are people who find my book helpful, I can consider my book the result of good, solid effort on my part.”
As you can see from my example, your clients may need to shift their definition of ‘failure’ to reduce their fears around failures, flops and mistakes.
You can continue this 4-step exercise until your clients have broken down and assessed 3 different fears they have regarding the same mini-goal.
Now, if you are someone who’s convinced that you want to coach your clients to overcome their fear of failure, you can check out my done-for-you fear of failure masterclass. You can launch your own masterclass ASAP because I have done 90 slides, a workbook and a script for you already.

“Why do I always feel the need to explain myself?” (Tips for confidence in business)
Hello friends! Hi, I’m Shikah, I’m a former counsellor and I create done-for-you lead magnets and workbooks for coaches.
In this blog post, I’ll share reasons why you feel the need to explain yourself to people. Perhaps you are starting a new side hustle, have a coaching business, starting a self-employment journey such as network marketing or real estate, for example. And you are getting judgy comments from people around you.
If you are starting a coaching business for example, you may hear comments such as “Coaching is a scam” or “Everyone and their grandmother is a coach these days.” If you are getting started in a self-employment journey, you may also hear comments like “Your market is too saturated” or “You are just in it for the money.”
I was a victim of this myself. When I was working as a counsellor in a school in the past, I had to endure people making many snide comments about my job. I heard comments like “Counselling doesnt work.” “Counselling is too ‘soft’ for teenagers. They need to be disciplined the ‘hard way’”. Or “Honouring your emotions through counselling is a waste of time.”
There were times when I felt indignant hearing such comments. At that time, I felt like I had to explain my job to people. Which is ironic, since counselling is such a beneficial job to society. I felt like I had to explain that counselling, or any form of therapy, is for long-term good, and is not a short-term solution. In reality, of course, I did not have to explain my work or my job options to people.
I’m sharing my story because you may be in the same boat where people are judgy about your career or business decisions. When you choose to pursue a business path which is not conventional, or has a bad rep like network marketing or sales, you will be exposed to uninvited comments. And then you feel as though you need to defend yourself or your decisions so that you don’t seem either silly, too idealistic or ‘inferior’ in any way.
Let’s break down the reasons why you feel the need to explain yourself.
Firstly, when someone makes an unwelcome comment about a personal or harmless decision you made, your ego was affected.
You felt that your intelligence, your life choices and your beliefs were attacked. Naturally, you get defensive and start spewing a long paragraph of reasons why you chose to make that specific decision.
There is one way to look at this situation. Your ‘attacker’ does not care about your explanation. And I say that with love and compassion. When someone rudely attacks your choices, and you know this person is insecure or does not have your best interests at heart, they are not interested in your reasoning.
They have a strong opposite opinion about your decision and they want to appear ‘superior’. They want to be seen as ‘right’. They want to be seen as intelligent and have the upper hand over you in some way. So they express their opposite opinion in a brash, disprespectful, forceful way. I would say that this is a character trait of someone who is highly insecure in themselves and someone who is very concerned with their image and appearances. Someone who is very egoistic.
In this situation, your inner critic will be activated and may be telling you, “Don’t be a weak person. You need to stand up and defend yourself and set this person straight.” However, considering that your ‘attacker’ does not care about your explanation, there is no point engaging in any sort of debate with that person. There is also one point for us to remember : we cannot change someone else’s opinion if they don’t want to. So spare yourself the battle and do not engage with that person.
Another reason why you feel the need to explain yourself is you may be subconsciously comparing yourself with others and feeling a little ‘inferior’ as a result.
If you have decided to set up a coaching business and it is still in the start up phase or your business is having a slump, which happens, you may feel the need to explain yourself when people ask you business-related questions. Questions such as “How is your business going?”, “How many clients have you had?”, “Are you already making a full time income?”, “Are you still making a 5-figure income?” “Are you making enough money for yourself?”
These questions are very tough to answer as a new coach or business owner. If you have a strong inner critic, you will, number 1) have this urge to answer those questions and number 2) justify your answer.
You may answer like this : “I am on the way to making money. As you know, there is so much for me to learn when running a business, the economy is down and people are not buying courses like they used to, it’s normal for coaches to take a long time before they get clients, I think business success takes time and when you get the formula right, clients will flow, I leave it to God and the Universe to plan it out for me and I am simply going with the flow.” You get the idea.
If you catch yourself doing a word vomit or typing a long defensive reply message to your friends, that’s because your inner critic tells you that you need to defend and explain yourself so that you will not look like a ‘loser’ and you will not look ‘inferior’.
Again, there is no need to reply uncomfortable questions. You can simply say, “My business is doing alright. I’ll share more details with you when I have interesting updates. There’s nothing much to share right now.” You can then gracefully turn the spotlight to your friends and ask them questions about their work or business.
At this point, you may be wondering “What can I do if I have clients who have low self-confidence or low self-worth and have to keep explaining themselves to people?”
That’s why I want you to download my free mini workbook called ‘Self-loving ways to boost confidence’ for your clients. You can use this as a lead magnet on your website to get more email subscribers. Simply key in your email and name below and it will land in your inbox.
Now with that out of the way, let’s move on to the next reason on why you feel the need to explain yourself.
Another reason why you feel the need to explain your decisions is that you are silently second-guessing yourself.
You may be second-guessing your own decisions at that point. In this case, as you are explaining to someone why you are becoming a coach, you are also trying to convince yourself why you chose this path, simultaneously.
If you catch yourself overexplaining and being defensive, you may be silently doubtful of your decision at the back of your mind. So over explaining yourself is one way for you to also convince yourself that you have made the right choice.
Now you know the reasons to why you feel the need to explain yourself to people. At the same time, you may not know how to coach your clients if they show the same signs of a harsh inner critic or low self-confidence.
If that’s you, check out my done-for-you 7 Day Self-Confidence program which you can launch and sell to your coaching clients.
You can have your own confidence course running and ready to launch by today. You can set up the course once and sell it on evergreen on your website.
It’s so much easier to have someone who has a counselling background - which is me - to create coaching materials for you. You can save so much time and energy and you can use the free time to focus on getting more clients and growing your business.
Thank you and I’ll see you in my next episode. Bye!
Tips for proper mental rest which worked for me when I was approaching burnout (share these tips with your coaching clients)
Hello friends! Let’s talk about how to have proper mental rest without feeling guilty.
Hi! I’m Shikah, I’m a former counsellor and I create done-for-you lead magnets and workbooks for coaches.
In this video, I share advice and tips for proper mental rest which worked for me when I was on the verge of burnout two weeks ago. You can modify and share these tips with your clients or in your content. You can also apply these tips for yourself if you feel yourself reaching burnout.
Let’s get to the topic. Why did I choose ‘mental’ rest instead of physical rest or emotional rest? Well, you’ll realise that when your mind is racing, thinking, brainstorming during your rest days, the ‘off’ day feels completely wasted. You end up feeling just as confused, exhausted, foggy brained and as restless as when you are having a stressful day. We have to somehow slow down our racing minds and calm them before we can enjoy the sweet experience of having a true day off.
The first tip I have is to consume content which is a 180-degree turn from your work or business.
If you are a coach, don’t watch or read self-improvement videos and books on your rest days. For example, when I was approaching burnout two weeks ago, I binge-watched house decorating videos, makeup tutorials, hairstyle tutorials, esoteric content such as psychic readings,videos on how to follow your intuition. Really out there stuff. I also read fiction books, romantic comedy books - basically books I rarely have the time to read on most days. The content I consumed during my ‘healing from burnout days’ was 100% not related to my business at all. Like I mentioned, I create done-for-you materials for coaches, so I avoid all forms of personal development content on my day off. This tip works for your clients if they need a concrete, tangible, logical suggestion on how to have proper mental rest on their days off.
Another tip I have is to indulge and rest for a few days if you need to.
Many of us will naively think that having just one day off is enough to recover from the start of burnout. But from my experience, at least for myself, I will need at least 2 days to recover from my burnout and get motivated to work again. I am lucky in that sense because 2 or 3 days of proper mental rest is sufficient for me to get excited about my business again. I have heard of business owners who need months of recovery before they can touch their laptops again. You have to know your nervous system and your mental health intimately and come face to face with how your mind and body works. Work with your mind and body instead of against it. Does that mean you will feel frustrated that you may need one week of rest instead of just one day? Maybe you will. However, working with your body will ensure a speedier recovery.
At this point in the video you may be wondering how you can help your clients identify if they are stressed out and lacking self-care.
That’s why I want you to download my Free Self-Care Audit which you can use as a lead magnet to grow your list. Simply sign up below to get your copy for free!
Now with that out of the way, let’s move onto the next tip on how to have proper mental rest.
The next tip I have for you to have proper mental rest is to spend time ‘being’ instead of ‘doing’.
What does that mean? It just means being present in the moment, present in your body, present with your thoughts and present with your emotions. Sounds like a lot to do, yes? Actually, being present recharges your energy like no other.
I did a mistake when I was ‘resting’ for my burnout. I decided to escape my ruminating and racing thoughts by doing tasks and chores. Instead of accepting that my mind was racing and actively looking for activities which calm my nervous system, I started doing chores. On my ‘rest’ day, I did the laundry, baked brownies, I cooked dinner mopped the house, vacuumed the floors, I created Pinterest pins for my business because it is a creative and so-called relaxing thing to do.
It may be relaxing when I am not at the edge of burnout, but doing anything remotely work-related is not relaxing at all. Anyway, my reasoning for doing tasks on my rest day was : “At least I get to escape my racing thoughts by doing things and being productive today.” It was a big mistake. The next day, I experienced burnout. Thankfully, it took just a couple of days to recover from that burnout, but I learned my lesson. Spend more time being with yourself instead of escaping yourself when you are burnt out or stressed out.
You can experience ‘being’ with activities which, number one : stop your racing thoughts and number two, which make you feel positive emotions. Some examples are meditation, working out, running, hiking, creating something with your hands, cooking, visualising, reconnecting with your hobby which is not tech-related hopefully.
Let me know activities which can slow down racing thoughts in the comments below.
Another tip to have proper mental rest is to add joy back into your life.
In our busy-ness with running a business, or if your clients have demanding 9-6 jobs, it is easy to ignore and forget joy. Joy even seems like an indulgence and not a need for some people. Well, human beings need joy in our lives. We do not come into this world to suffer, sacrifice or lead joyless lives. There is no point in living life like that. Anyway, I don’t have to even elaborate much about the importance of doing activities which trigger joy in you. It can be as ‘indulgent’ as spending time alone with a good book in a cafe or binge-listening your favourite podcast episodes, dancing or listening to your favourite music, eating your favourite food, exploring your city as though you are a tourist, creating art, visualising your dream reality.
Now you know the tips on how to have proper mental rest, but you may not know how to coach your clients to prioritise self-care and mental rest. If that’s you, you can check out my ready-to-launch Self-Care masterclass which you can launch and sell to your clients. You can conduct the masterclass once via Zoom and sell the recordings on your website. That’s how you can create a more passive income stream in your coaching business.
It is so much easier to have someone who is experienced in the self-improvement field - which is me - to write your coaching materials for you. You feel good knowing you are offering coaching materials which work, and you can take time off or focus on servicing your clients.
