58. 3 ways you're blocking your next paid client
Are you unknowingly keeping your next paid client at arm’s length? If you’re still in your 9-5 or recently transitioned to coaching full-time, this episode is a must-listen. Because here’s the truth: most new and aspiring coaches are unconsciously creating obstacles that stop them from signing clients. And until you recognize these blind spots, you’ll stay stuck, wondering why things aren’t clicking.
In this episode, I’m breaking down three powerful ways you might be blocking yourself from your next client—and, more importantly, how to stop. If you’ve ever felt like you’re in your own way, this is for you. But let’s reframe that. Instead of saying, “I’m the problem,” let’s shift to: “I am the way.”
Here’s what we cover:
-
The identity shift you need to make to step fully into your coaching business (because clients can feel when you’re half in, half out).
-
The invisible fear of being seen that’s keeping you playing small (even though you feel like you’re doing “all the right things”).
-
How your unconscious attachment to financial safety is keeping you from going all in on your business—even if you think you’re committed and are even planning to quit the 9to5 or already did!
If you’re tired of watching other coaches book clients while you struggle to gain traction, this episode will help you break through. And don’t worry, this isn’t about “just believe in yourself and clients will come.” We’re diving deep into the subconscious blocks that keep so many coaches stuck—especially if you’re balancing corporate life and your coaching business.
Key Takeaways:
> Your current identity is either repelling or attracting your next client—are you showing up as a full-fledged coach or still playing small?
> Fear of visibility isn’t just about social media—it’s about the stories you tell yourself about what it means to be seen.
> Your attachment to a steady paycheck might be stopping you from fully backing yourself as a business owner.
Listen now and take the first step to unblock your path to consistent clients.
