Mindset is crucial for building online success, but many business owners need outside support to make a positive shift to increase their confidence, clarity, and balance. Entrepreneurs are often open to business coaching but can struggle to cut through the noise and find a coach that aligns with their values and goals.In this episode, Jennifer and I discuss how to bust through some common limiting beliefs that many of us have around believing that it’s too hard to find someone you can trust.3 Potential Red Flags When Considering Working with a New Coach: 1- Beware of Guaranteed Results: When a coach offers guaranteed results when you work with them — beware! Your coach can never actually guarantee results because even if they have a fantastic formula, they are only one side of the equation. You, as the client, have to hold up your end of the bargain, and your coach has no way of knowing that you’ll put in the work required. 2- No Discovery Session: It’s wise to be skeptical of anyone who doesn't offer you a free introductory session. When you’re making plans to have a long-term business relationship with a coach, you should expect to have a discovery call where you get to know one another and check you’re on the same page. 3- Limited Resource Access: It’s a big red flag if your access to resources that your coach shares are limited. Lifetime access to materials is important. After all, if you're buying into something, you should be able to go back and reference it as needed. Our recommendations? Don’t let yourself be forced into making a decision you’re not ready to make by high-pressure sales techniques. Do your research. Ensure you can speak to the coach making the offer before you buy.In this episode, you’ll also hear:How to find a coach you really vibe with Some of the mindset shifts we need to make to achieve our business goals and how to move past limiting beliefsWhy we should reframe what we perceive as failures into learning opportunities Must-listen moments: [00:20:00] It's important to know what you’re buying before you sign up for something. So ask yourself, ‘What do I need in my business right now?’ [00:24:00] Don't let yourself be pressured. If a coach is the right fit, then great! If you have reservations, give yourself some time; if your intuition is saying something's off, listen. Wait until you find someone you feel confident in.[00:36:00] A good coach is going to help you with not just the strategy but also with the mindset. You have to be willing to learn from your failures. There's no such thing as failure; it's just feedback, and if you can shift your mindset to knowing that, every single thing that happens is just feedback.
