The Business Of Being A Life Coach With Lin Eleoff

Self Sabotage Is Bad For Business Starting your own business is so exciting, so empowering, so freeing. One of the biggest lessons I learned when I first started on my entrepreneurial journey (and the one lesson I teach all my coach students and clients first) is this: SELF SABOTAGE is bad for business. Self Sabotage […] The post Ep #58: Self Sabotage appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

THE ART OF THE ANTI-HUSTLE Life coaches love love love it when I tell them they don’t have to network. It’s as if I had just given them a new car, à la Oprah. Networking is the used-car-salesman approach to marketing your coaching services. Don’t even THINK about “going out and networking” because if you […] The post Ep #57: The Art of the Anti-Hustle appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

WHAT SHOULD YOU CHARGE FOR COACHING? Should you “raise your prices”? I just celebrated a birthday and my husband got me something that made me think about this very question. Now, I’m not one of those coaches who will tell you to RAISE YOUR PRICES to prove your own value or sense of self worth. […] The post Ep #56: What Should You Charge? appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

BREAKING THROUGH YOUR INNER GLASS CEILING Just like a fish doesn’t know it’s swimming in water, you have no idea what’s going on when you keep bumping your head against the inner glass ceiling that exists in your subconscious mind. It’s been there for so long you don’t even know it’s there. Such is the […] The post Ep #55: Your Inner Glass Ceiling appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

WHY YOU NEED AN F.U. MINDSET Newsflash: Your inner 6-year-old (we’ll call her Shirley) is mad at you. Don’t believe me? Then just watch all the times it feels like you’re sabotaging yourself. That’s actually not you messing things up; it’s her! Self sabotage seems to make no sense. You tell yourself, “This time, I’m […] The post Ep #54: F.U. Mindset appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY Money can buy you happiness. If you don’t agree, let me know how you’d feel if you lost power because you didn’t pay your electric bill. (Sad?) Money sure gets a bad rap. People talk smack about money all the time. “Making money is hard.” “Money doesn’t like me.” “Money […] The post Ep #53: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY WOW… All this money talk sure gets people talking! I’ve heard from so many coaches who say they can’t wrap their head around the “money part” of running a business. And yet… if it’s a business, it’s about money, right? No? Yes. I mean… yes and no. Sorry if this […] The post Ep #52: IT’S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

LOUSY STORY = NO MONEY Cold hard truth: The lousy horrible dirty rotten money story that runs in the back of your mind every day, all day, is the reason you’re not able to break through your inner glass ceiling when it comes to making money. I see it every day: coaches who work hard […] The post Ep #51: LOUSY STORY = NO MONEY appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

Do I Have To Have Tech Skills? I remember when I first started my own online business I assumed I had to learn “all the tech” because that’s what I saw so many others doing. And the tech can bring an otherwise smart, sophisticated, gutsy-ass woman to her knees.  In this episode of the MESS […] The post Ep #50: DO I NEED TECH SKILLS? appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

Do You Have A $100k DNA™ Mindset? Everyone talks about hitting that magic number: $100k. Everyone is capable of hitting that magic number UNLESS they have been de-programmed to hit that magic number. In other words, 100k is not reserved for “special” people. 100k is not for some people but not you. 100k is not […] The post Ep #49: $100k DNA appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

Rebellion is not the answer to getting what you want. Instead you have to be beautifully assertive. I used to be a bit of a rebel, wanting to go one way when everyone was telling me to go the other way. Rebellion is a right of passage when you’re young. But carrying rebellion into your […] The post Ep #48: REBELLION IS NOT THE ANSWER appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

Let’s Play In The Dirt. Let’s Make A Mess! Remember when you were a kid and your parents would yell at you to “CLEAN UP THAT MESS”? Am I the only would who would argue, “That’s not a mess!” For as long as I can remember I have enjoyed rolling around in my so-called messes, […] The post Ep #47: LET’S MAKE A MESS appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

Massive Momentum And “The Big O” Headlines extolling the virtues of taking massive action can sometimes make you want to throw in the towel and scream, “I can’t keep up.”  Taking massive action without having the wind at your back leads to the Big O. I’m talking about Overwhelm. Show me a coach who has […] The post Ep #46: MASSIVE MOMENTUM & “THE BIG O” appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

It takes guts to make a mess. Especially when “everyone” is watching. We want to avoid embarrassment at all costs. And that’s the mistake… avoiding embarrassment at all costs. Because there is undoubtedly a cost: we don’t show up for the things we want most in life. And when it comes to building a coaching […] The post Ep #45: IT TAKES GUTS TO MAKE A MESS appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

Welcome to Season 3 of Gutsy Glorious Radio – MESS MAGIC MONEY! Building a coaching business that makes you money AND makes you happy begins with letting go of everything you thought you had to “be” in order to become a successful coach. Everything.

Do you “HATE” selling? Now, that’s no way to think about your business. After all, what is a business if it isn’t selling? In Episode 42 we talked about the importance of a marketing funnel. This week I want to get into the nitty gritty of selling and the mindset shift you need to make […] The post 43. MARKETING, SELLING AND SEMANTICS appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.

How’s your marketing funnel, Coach? If just hearing the words marketing funnel makes you break out in hives, all the more reason to pay attention (or close up shop, which would be so sad… so pay attention).

Every single page on your website has a purpose: to work for you. Your website pages can make or break your coaching business. Why? Because the content on your site’s pages will either convert visitors into paying customers… or it won’t. And if it doesn’t… well, you won’t have much of a business. That’s why it’s […] The post 41.

Introducing the “Absolute Bare-Bones Basic Business Plan.” If you have no other plan for your business, Coach, you need this one… It’s the very least that a “Responsible Business Owner” would do if she wanted to build a real business, defined as one that makes you money AND makes you happy.  Before you start listening to this episode of […] The post 39.

In order to grow, you’ve got to let go. Easier said than done, right? If you’re a life coach who’s just starting out, or you’ve been at it for a while but don’t seem to be getting any traction, you may need to learn the art of delegating. You cannot be a good boss if […] The post 38. DELEGATING IS A LIFE COACH’S FIRST STEP TOWARDS FREEDOM appeared first on Gutsy Glorious Living.
