[BOOK YOUR CALL HERE] For anyone sitting at their 9-5 wondering, “Could I actually become a full-time coach?” this episode breaks down what that transition can realistically look like. Olivia pulls back the curtain on the journey from full-time employee to full-time coach, without the overnight-success fantasy or the vague “just follow your dreams” advice that leaves people confused and spiraling. Inside the episode, she walks through the key phases most future coaches move through, from the first whisper of “I’m meant for more than this” to the moment when your coaching business starts asking for more of your time, energy, and leadership. You’ll hear why clarity comes first, why coach training matters, when paid clients typically begin entering the picture, and what signs may tell you you’re closer to making the leap than you think. This is not a “quit your job tomorrow and hope for the best” conversation. It’s a grounded, honest look at building a coaching business with strategy, patience, and real skill behind it. If you’ve been researching coaching, wondering how long it takes to replace your income, or trying to figure out when it actually makes sense to leave your job, this episode will help you see the path with more clarity and confidence.

    Your Coaching Offer Is Failing Because You Skipped This Step

    Curious about what your coaching niche is? [TAKE OUR QUIZ]  In this episode of Six Figure Certified, Liv is breaking down one of the most overlooked pieces of building a profitable coaching business: market research. Because if you’ve ever launched a coaching offer and heard nothing but crickets, it probably does not mean you’re bad at coaching. It may mean you created something based on what you thought people wanted, instead of what they are actually willing to pay for. Liv walks listeners through a business-building exercise straight from IGC Coaching School, showing how new and growing coaches can stop guessing and start gathering real insight from the people they want to serve. She talks about the difference between creating an offer that sounds nice and creating one that makes your ideal client think, “Oh my God, I need that now.” This episode is for coaches who are ready to get clearer, bolder, and more strategic with their coaching offers, content, messaging, and niche. If you want to understand what your ideal clients are really struggling with, what language they’re already using, and what they may actually invest in, this conversation will help you start looking in the right places without overcomplicating the process. Key highlights from this episode: Why your coaching offer may not be converting, even if you’re a great coachHow market research helps you create coaching packages people actually wantThe role of client language in stronger messaging and contentHow to stop relying on assumptions when building your coaching businessWhy surveys, DMs, emails, and calls can all reveal valuable insightThe difference between surface-level questions and questions that lead to better offersHow market research can help you clarify your niche, ideal client, and transformationWhy coaches need to get comfortable asking, testing, and gathering real-world dataHow to use market research to create content that speaks directly to your ideal clientWhat to look for when your ideal clients tell you what they’re actually struggling with Free Resources from Inner Glow Circle: Discover Your Coaching Niche Quiz Get Access to Free Workshop: Get Paid to Coach  Speak with our Admissions Team market research, market research for coaches, coaching business, coaching offers, coaching niche, ideal client, client research, coaching package, how to create a coaching offer, life coach business, ICF coaching, coaching certification, business building for coaches, coaching clients, coaching content strategy, coaching marketing, coaching sales, surveys for business, client language, how to sell coaching
