Stop Feeling Overwhelmed by Your Coaching Biz

A version of the following article was originally published here on July 5, 2023.

It’s July already! I hope you’re enjoying the summer if you’re in the northern hemisphere and taking some well-deserved downtime for yourself.

In usual years, this is a month I take off entirely from my business. This year for the first time in almost ten years I’ve chosen to work during parts of July, but I do hope to go back to taking the entire month off in future years.

I get questions from folks in the Anti-Boring Learning Lab about how I can make a full month away from work happen, and how I manage the emotional challenges of running a coaching business.

Maybe you’re wondering that, too?

Do you ever feel like your coaching business is running you? 

Maybe you always feel busy, stressed, and over(or under)whelmed by all that’s going on?

After all, didn’t we start our academic coaching businesses/side hustles because we wanted to create freedom and flexibility for ourselves?

So how did we end up here? (And I emphasize the “we” because you are sooooooo not alone in this!)

In today’s video, I’ll share four strategies and mindset shifts I’ve used that can help you take control of your business, so you can start living the life you originally envisioned for yourself when you started your private practice.

So, what do you think? Might some of these strategies work for you? Do you have other strategies you recommend? Hit reply and let me know!

Or maybe your struggle is more that you’ve you been thinking of starting or growing your coaching biz but you aren’t sure how?

If that’s you, I’d love to offer you my free 7-day Crash Course where you’ll learn everything you need to start a thriving and sustainable coaching practice of your own. Sign up here and let’s make the most of this summer to get you and your biz moving!

Happy July, y’all! Make it yours!
