If you haven’t reached your life coaching business goals yet, there is a reason. And it’s not really your fault. Someone has kidnapped your brain and fed it lies. The good news is once you know the lies that are keeping your from living your dreams, you can then take action that will turn your life and your business around.

3 Lies That Will Kill Your Life Coaching Business

1. “I Don’t Have Time”. We all have the same amount of time in our lives, and being the mom of 2 small children I have wondered what I could have created if I began before they arrived. But that is not the hand I was dealt. You have your own hand, too. But think about areas that you could put up a claim and call it your own. For example, did you know that if you slept one hour less per night for a year you would have an entire extra month to work on your life coaching business?

2. “I Don’t Have Money.” Money is never really the issue. The same people who say they don’t have money to invest in their life coaching business are the same ones who find that money a week later to bail out a family or friend in need. Other people can find money when they need it because of their sheer audacity and determination.

It All Comes Down To A Single Question

3. The biggest lie of all is that you are doing all you can. It all comes down to one question. Are you committed or not? At one point in his life my dad was struggling financially. Making some money was a must for his survival. One day someone asked if he could lay tile. He told the guy he could and committed to be there the next day. He had never done it before, so he went the library immediately to check out some books to learn how. He committed, and then took action. He didn’t leave a way out.

Most people “try”. But as Yoda said in Star Wars, “There is no try, only do.” Are you committed enough to your life coaching business to taking action, assessing the results of your action, modifying your approach, and persevering until you achieve the results you want? If not, you are better off finding a nice steady job with good benefits because coaching is not for you.
