I’ve decided to take somewhat of a pause from the website.
Here are a few things that are going through my mind…
- I’ve talked about becoming a coach before and now I’m doing it. I’ve enrolled in a class and I’m getting certified.
- I’m considering splitting the website into 2 sites. One for finances and one for careers. On the career website, I would offer professional coaching one-on-one for women. When I started the website, I originally knew I wanted to help people with their career path.
I’m still kind of forming in my mind where this is going. Although I enjoy writing articles, I don’t want to be just another site that is trying to get people to click on their affiliate links and it feels like that’s what it’s becoming. I need to provide a service or sell something.
So I’m shifting. And I’m a little insecure about it.
What am I great at? I’m a great leader and I’m great at holding other people accountable and setting goals. I’m an organizational freak and it’s fantastic.
I’m also a great listener.
I want to use my skills to help others. That’s where all of this started afterall.
So what am I insecure about? I’m insecure about putting myself out there. Like I said, I’m a fantastic leader and can work up a crowd. People follow me because I am trustworthy, honest, and pretty blunt. I admit when I’m wrong. I’m also very humble. Although I’ve never been afraid to ask for more, I’m a leader that puts the “A+ Award” of others in front of my own.
I’m not sure if that made sense, but I’m venting right now, so let me keep going please…
Worst case, I spend a few grand and this goes nowhere and I go back to what I’m doing now. I’ve read that “life coaches” are a scam. I don’t want to be a generic life coach. I want to help people hold themselves accountable in their professional careers. Like I said, I’m still working on where I’m going with this.
I could see myself happy doing this. The best part of my day is helping others that are eager for help.
Is there actually a need for this type of work? I think so, but I’m not sure how easy it’ll be. I’m taking an online course on how to set up your own coaching business as well as the course to get actually certified.
I’m kind of stressed, guys. I don’t put myself out there like this. It’s funny how you can give the best advice to others but you struggle giving it to yourself. I wrote down a lot of things on my mind last night and that did help for a bit.
Then today I started digging into things deeper and actually paying some money for a course and that sinking feeling in my gut came back. So here I am, writing out my thoughts again so I can refocus.
If you read this and have any feedback on what I’m considering, please comment or reach out – [email protected]
This is the first step I’ve ever made towards starting up my own thing. I’ve always worked for someone else. I suppose the website I started six months ago was maybe the first step and now it’s evolving into something else.
I’m keeping the goals I have for my website as I still believe I’ll meet them all by year end. I will finish all of my coach training by year end as well.
So here’s hoping that my nerves calm down a bit and I can evolve this into something great.
Thank you for stumbling onto this page and listening.
