"The toolbox of packages, proposals, pricing know-how, templates, and so on are fantastic!"
Sandra transformed her approach to coaching by reframing prospecting as leadership conversations and overcoming her anxiety about rejection. The Quest's practical tools and mindset shifts helped her launch a confident second act as a Business Transformation Coach.
I was contemplating how to connect my skills and desire to help others into a meaningful second act when I found the Certified Life Coach and Your First $2k Coaching Quests. This was no coincidence!
Before this Quest my life was in transition from corporate life and 14-hour days to the next life phase, whatever that would be. Always I planned to have a second career and wanted to use my skills and successes honed over many years of working in progressive finance roles. I want to help business owners and young entrepreneurs to grow their companies but at same time preserve a work-life balance. So many times, we sacrifice one for the other, but I say we CAN have it all. We can reach our financial goals / dreams and still have meaningful home life with our spouses and children or time for friends and a social life, whatever we desire.
Your First $2K Quest helped me to think through whether I had any beliefs that may sabotage my dream or any hangups about money that would limit me. This was really enlightening, but the best part helped me to see that I really am good at what I do, and I am genuinely curious about others. It is authentic and this cannot be duplicated.
Rethinking prospecting – I had this all wrong in my mind. Now I see that sales are leadership, and we are just having directed conversations. I have a lot of experience and super packages for the right client. These conversations help me find out who best fits what I do so that we can make great progress together. This makes me so happy!
Dealing with No – prior to the quest, this gave me some anxiety, but now I see it as an opportunity to answer questions, provide further information, alternative solutions to pain points. This was also a major reframing of my thinking. I am thankful for this learning.
Finally, but not least, the toolbox of packages, proposals, pricing know-how, templates, and so on are fantastic! The quest makes it nearly turn-key!
I am ever grateful for Ajit and the team supporting him. This is a game changer for me!
