In this episode of "How to Get Ahead" with Millennial Life Coaches, host Tanya sits down with Christie Mims founder of Coach Pony @coach-pony for an honest and practical conversation about what it really takes to grow a coaching business.
Christie shares how her own experience as a newly certified coach led her to build Coach Pony as a resource for coaches who need more than inspiration — they need a real path to paying clients and sustainable growth.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to niche down without feeling like you’re leaving money on the table
How to create messaging that speaks to the real problem
What to do when impostor syndrome shows up
Why marketing feels so vulnerable for coaches
How to build a coaching business that can actually support you
Christie also speaks candidly about fear, visibility, and the emotional side of becoming a coach entrepreneur. Her encouragement is clear: you do not need to be perfect to get started, but you do need business skills, consistency, and the courage to keep going. She closes by reminding coaches that this is a healthy and growing industry — and that there is space for them in it.
