What I need help with

My background as an entrepreneur

My current challenges

I need assistance on the content of my coaching program and how to create it. I want to learn a strategy with systems to launch my coaching (on social media) and learn how to reverse-engineer it.

I would like to work with someone who will see what I do not see, challenge yet support, and be my mirror so I can understand my business and mindset shifts needed to take my business to the next level (and more).

I know what a funnel is, but struggle to fully create mine, and would like assistance with creating my long-term and short-term business goals (my biggest challenge is planning, systems, and structure). I also would like assistance with more operational things, such as how I setup my payments, how I will communicate with clients, and how to setup my business legally re: tax laws. I would like to know the benefit of operating everything under one coaching platform. I currently don't have much automated and would like to streamline this process.

I would also like to understand how to master my sales without being inauthentic or tacky so my ideal client naturally comes to be and is ready to move forward (rather than process their past...a difficult thing with the niche I have chosen).

Finally, I know my branding about 50% of the way, but I struggle with creating content and knowing my "content pillars" so that I am not only providing one form of content, but providing all of the forms (educational, inspirational, testimonials, etc.)

I'd like to work with a mentor who understands my coaching business is a mixture of providing energetic (intangible) transformation alongside tangible, actionable transformation.

Actions I’ve taken so far

I have worked since May 2020 on the foundation for my business as far as my branding, niche, ideal client, promise, and the type of coaching package I plan to offer initially with 1:1 clients. I have also really nailed down my client's pain points and how I plan on helping them solve their problems. I have worked with 3 clients in total on 1:1 coaching, 2/3 are active clients.

I already have a website created (it's more a landing page for my lead magnet at this moment) and a free lead magnet with a CRM platform holding my email list.

I already have a social media presence on Instagram and narrowly on YouTube. I have completed the book "Building a StoryBrand" by Donald Miller and taken extensive notes as to how this applies to my own business.

I have spent years learning and with experience in personal development, spirituality, healthy living (food/movement), psychology, social work, mindfulness, psychotherapy, healthcare, and holistic health. As far as Lyme Disease goes, I am an expert in terms of this illness due to immersing myself for years in the subject and going through it myself - alongside knowing other experiences of patients with the illness from the community.

My future goals

My future goal is to have a thriving, consistent, partially automated, and fulfilling online coaching business that provides financial autonomy, freedom, and reward.

I intend to continue working with clients 1:1 for the time being, but am happy to jump into group coaching when I am ready. I intend on creating my own course that is scalable based on my clients' feedback after enough time (for people with chronic illness). I also would like to host and speak at events in the future that pertain to overcoming difficult circumstances, chronic illness recovery, aligning with your authentic self, and more.

My motivations to work with a mentor

I truly appreciate the value of working with a mentor, and am extremely eager and open to learning as much as possible. I love to ask questions, and it brings me joy to hear the perspective of an individual who has been in similar shoes as me, and has knowledge and wisdom to share. I myself enjoy coaching/teaching others, and value what this service brings to me. I think having a guide to provide support and experience is fantastic.


About my venture

KRC

In May 2020 I began creating the foundation for my online holistic mindset coaching business. I help women with chronic illness (but specialize in chronic Lyme Disease) who are feeling stuck in their healing journey, in medical treatment, but ready to move forward with their life. The goal is to help reframe their illness so it empowers them to understand what truly matters to them and confidently go forward in life, rather than dwell and identify as "sick," watching life pass them by.

I have my bachelor's in health sciences, and my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, with experience as a social worker and therapist. The past ten years of my own personal health struggles (and journey) have led me to transform my life in ways I had never imagined. I went from sick, depressed, stuck, and misaligned, and partying to escape, to healthy, present, mindful, confident, aligned, and at peace. I have done this through my passion with a healthy diet/lifestyle, self-development, spirituality, the law of attraction, manifestation, psychology, social work, meditation, mindfulness, and more. I have also gone through extensive deep healing, therapy, and mindset shifts to achieve a completely different life.
