Transcripts

Candy Motzek:

Welcome to she coaches coaches. I'm your host,

Candy Motzek:

Kandi motsek. And I'm going to help you find the clarity,

Candy Motzek:

confidence and courage to become the coach that you are meant to

Candy Motzek:

be. If you're a new coach, or if you've always wanted to be a

Candy Motzek:

life coach, then this is the place for you. We're going to

Candy Motzek:

talk all about mindset and strategies and how to, because

Candy Motzek:

step by step only works when you have the clarity, courage and

Candy Motzek:

confidence to take action. Let's get started. Hi, friend, and

Candy Motzek:

welcome to this episode. I'm so glad you're here. So let me ask

Candy Motzek:

you this question. Are you a problem solver? Do you find that

Candy Motzek:

you spend a lot of time thinking about your problems? dissecting

Candy Motzek:

them, analyzing them considering ways to solve them? You might be

Candy Motzek:

thinking, I don't know what my niches or I can't start signing

Candy Motzek:

clients until I know who I help write? Or how will I get

Candy Motzek:

clients? Like how specifically will I get them? Or where

Candy Motzek:

exactly do I start? Like, how do I do this? Now, you may pride

Candy Motzek:

yourself on being a deep thinker, or super analytical.

Candy Motzek:

And that is an amazing skill for you to be able to use your brain

Candy Motzek:

in that way. But I want to lend you another perspective here as

Candy Motzek:

well. Now back in episode 33, called Grow your coaching

Candy Motzek:

business like a garden, I spoke about how it helps to think of

Candy Motzek:

your coaching business like a garden, you want to create a

Candy Motzek:

good foundation, good nutritious soil, carefully plant those

Candy Motzek:

seeds, water and nurture those little seedlings. And reminding

Candy Motzek:

you that the aim is to create a garden or a coaching practice,

Candy Motzek:

filled with all kinds of amazing vegetables and fruit that you

Candy Motzek:

will harvest in good time. And those are all the amazing

Candy Motzek:

clients that are going to come and work with you in good time.

Candy Motzek:

So let's think about problems. And every time I think about a

Candy Motzek:

problem, sometimes it has this feeling of a little bit of

Candy Motzek:

nervousness, a problem could be a little pocket of fear. Now,

Candy Motzek:

fear in and of itself is not a problem. It's a completely

Candy Motzek:

natural emotion, and we listen to it. And then we can choose

Candy Motzek:

the best course of action, sometimes may, why we might want

Candy Motzek:

to hang back. Sometimes we might just acknowledge that we're

Candy Motzek:

feeling the firt fear and do it anyway. Now, some of these fears

Candy Motzek:

are the way your brain tries to keep you safe from moving

Candy Motzek:

forward, right? If your brain says, Oh, you must have a niche

Candy Motzek:

completely figured out. Before you can have clients, then

Candy Motzek:

you're going to spend a lot of time focusing on finding your

Candy Motzek:

niche. Instead of getting out there and coaching people and

Candy Motzek:

letting your niche find you. The more you coach, the more you're

Candy Motzek:

going to find your groove. And then you're going to discover

Candy Motzek:

what you like to coach on most. And voila, you will have

Candy Motzek:

discovered your niche. But if you allow your fear to hold you

Candy Motzek:

back, you'll never discover it in the same way. Makes sense,

Candy Motzek:

right?

Candy Motzek:

I'd like to go back to this metaphor of the garden.

Candy Motzek:

Sometimes your brain wants to keep you tangled up in fear and

Candy Motzek:

all the busyness and it's like it's taken seeds, weed seeds,

Candy Motzek:

like a package of weed seeds and sprinkle them all over your

Candy Motzek:

magnificent garden. And as those weeds sprout, here's you here's

Candy Motzek:

me sometimes to looking down at the ground, looking away from

Candy Motzek:

your plants that are growing. And you're tempted to start

Candy Motzek:

plucking every single little weed. And in the middle of doing

Candy Motzek:

that, plucking every weed looking everywhere where you

Candy Motzek:

might find one looking down at the ground, you're forgetting

Candy Motzek:

that you're actually growing a magnificent garden, and that the

Candy Motzek:

aim is to grow a garden and harvest it and not to be on your

Candy Motzek:

hands and knees in the weeds. So when you're intently focused on

Candy Motzek:

pulling all those little weed seedlings, you're not tending to

Candy Motzek:

the plants that you planted intentionally. You're not

Candy Motzek:

pruning them. You're not harvesting the fruit. You're not

Candy Motzek:

being thankful for the veggies that are already growing. You're

Candy Motzek:

stuck at the level of the weeds. You're lost in those little

Candy Motzek:

problems. And for God that your vision is to grow a crop, a

Candy Motzek:

harvest of a Raising vegetables. Now, of course, every garden is

Candy Motzek:

going to have weeds. But where are you looking? Are you looking

Candy Motzek:

at the problems, the weeds? Or are you looking at your vision,

Candy Motzek:

your dream, the amazing crop of vegetables that you're growing,

Candy Motzek:

of course, you do need to solve some problems and keep the weeds

Candy Motzek:

under control, but not at the expense of tending to your

Candy Motzek:

harvest. Focus on the solution on the goal on your vision of a

Candy Motzek:

magnificent garden, instead of always being down on your hands

Candy Motzek:

and knees, trying to pick up every single microscopic weed.

Candy Motzek:

Now, if you're listening, and you realize that maybe, just

Candy Motzek:

maybe you sometimes get stuck in the weeds, and you're not sure

Candy Motzek:

how to get out, here's what I recommend. Stand up. Yeah,

Candy Motzek:

literally, if you can, right now physically stand up and take a

Candy Motzek:

deep breath, get grounded and centered in your body. Focus and

Candy Motzek:

feel your feet on the ground, feel the energy moving through

Candy Motzek:

your body. And remember why you're doing this. Why is this

Candy Motzek:

important? If you're like most of the amazing people that I

Candy Motzek:

know, you want to make a difference and make money. You

Candy Motzek:

want to have a positive impact on the world and feel free. You

Candy Motzek:

want to coach you want clients and you know that this is what

Candy Motzek:

you're meant to be doing. So connect with your vision. And if

Candy Motzek:

you're still in doubt, the first step for any coach, whether

Candy Motzek:

you're a brand new coach just starting out, or you're a coach

Candy Motzek:

has been here for a while and you're getting a little bit

Candy Motzek:

stalled in your growth. The first step is always to coach.

Candy Motzek:

Yeah, I want you to coach and coach and coach some more, get

Candy Motzek:

great at your craft, find people invite them to coach with you.

Candy Motzek:

If it needs to be free to start out with fine. If you only want

Candy Motzek:

to charge a small amount, that's fine to just start coaching

Candy Motzek:

real, live humans, help them, show up for them, hold space for

Candy Motzek:

them and start making a difference. And you're going to

Candy Motzek:

find pretty soon that some of those little problem, weeds are

Candy Motzek:

just going to solve themselves. And then you'll also be

Candy Motzek:

surprised to find out that some of those weeds don't even

Candy Motzek:

matter. As you create clients and you're focused on helping

Candy Motzek:

your clients, pretty soon, you're going to have more demand

Candy Motzek:

for your service than you have space. And once you've created

Candy Motzek:

demand, then you can begin to raise your rates. And that's why

Candy Motzek:

I don't worry that if you decide to start for free or a small

Candy Motzek:

amount, I know that once you start to fill your calendar, you

Candy Motzek:

can always raise your rates. Hey, I appreciate that you guys

Candy Motzek:
