COMMON GOOD COACHING
Why did you decide to join 90 Day Business Launch?
I chose to join 90 Day Business Launch because I wanted to turn what felt like a coaching hobby into a "real" business. I needed support to make that happen because I knew I wasn't going to push through the hard stuff on my own.
What were you doing work-wise when you started the program in April 2020 - and where are you now?
I was working as a Director in a nonprofit organization and now I and am the full-time Founder and Coach at Common Good Coaching.
We'd love to know both the tangible and intangible results you got from 90 Day Business Launch! Lay it on us:
I gained an intangible amount of confidence. So much so that I left my full time job of over 9 years, renegotiated a large coaching contract to better serve me, and got the website monkey off my back, ALL during the 90 days. Just 2 months after finishing 90DBL, I've secured over $34,000 in new contracts and launched my first group coaching program.
What was your biggest takeaway, lesson, or a-ha moment from the program?
My biggest ah-ha is that when you have support you take yourself farther and deeper than you would alone.
Think of someone who was in your shoes when we first started working together. What advice do you have for her?
If I had to go back and tell the version of myself whether or now to apply, I'd say "Look, you can either sit on the sidelines and wait for things to magically fall in place or you can make the leap and make an investment in yourself. By the way, if you think clients are going to invest in something that doesn't believe in investing in their own support, think again."
There is so.much.happening in our lives and the world that it seems impossible to think we could launch our dream business in 90 days! How did you make it happen? We'd love your best productivity/mindset/time management tip!
Put business development time on your calendar. Do it after the kids are in bed, if you need to. Do it before they wake up. Do it during the random lull in your workday. Just do it.
If someone wants to reach you and your work, where should they go?
