    Can You Be Your Own Life Coach? 5-Step Self-Coaching Formula

    What's Your Coaching Niche? [TAKE THE QUIZ] Can you actually coach yourself through feeling stuck, or are there limits to how far you can get on your own? In this episode, Liv breaks down a simple self-coaching process designed to help you get clearer on what you want, what is actually true, and what may be keeping you in the same loop. You’ll hear the kinds of questions professional coaches use to move a conversation forward, plus why clarity alone is not always enough to create change. Liv also explores the difference between insight and action, how easily we confuse fear or assumptions with facts, and why some of the hardest answers are often the ones we already know but have been avoiding. This episode is part practical exercise, part behind-the-scenes look at what actually happens inside a strong coaching conversation. Whether you are working through a decision, considering becoming a coach, or simply tired of thinking about the same problem from the same angle, this episode will give you a new way to approach what comes next. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Self-coaching questions for getting unstuckHow to separate facts from fear, assumptions, and interpretationGetting clear on what you actually wantIdentifying what is really getting in the wayTurning breakthroughs into specific actionBuilding accountability when you are coaching yourselfThe difference between coaching, therapy, and adviceWhy blind spots can make self-coaching difficultHow professional coaches listen for patterns you may not noticeConfidence, decision-making, and taking action 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 life coaching, self coaching, how to coach yourself, coaching questions, feeling stuck in life, how to get unstuck, personal development, mindset coaching, life coach podcast, how to make a decision, self reflection, confidence building, taking action, accountability, overcoming limiting beliefs, fear vs facts, professional coaching, how coaching works, become a life coach, coaching certification

    How Do I Get My First Coaching Client?

    [Free Training]: How to Become a Professional Certified Coach [JOIN HERE] If you’re a new coach, getting your first paying client can feel way more complicated than it actually needs to be. Suddenly you’re thinking about your niche, your website, your Instagram feed, your branding, your offer, your email list, and approximately 47 other things before you’ve even had a real conversation with a potential client. In this episode of Six Figure Certified, Liv is breaking down what actually matters when you’re trying to land your first coaching client. She shares the simple, relationship-driven steps she would focus on if she were starting a coaching business from scratch today, including where your earliest clients are likely to come from, why your existing network matters more than you think, and what most new coaches spend way too much time doing instead. If you’ve been telling yourself you need more followers, a prettier brand, a perfect niche, or one more certification before you can start getting paid to coach, this episode is going to challenge that. Because building a coaching business starts a lot closer to home than most people realize, and the fastest path forward might have a lot less to do with marketing and a lot more to do with getting into actual conversations. In this episode, you’ll hear about: How to get your first coaching clientStarting a coaching business from scratchFinding your coaching niche without getting stuck in perfectionismUsing your existing network to generate coaching referralsWhy relationships matter more than follower count in the beginningBuilding confidence as a new coachGetting real coaching experience before obsessing over contentMoving from passive marketing to actual sales conversationsWhy new coaches avoid asking for the saleWhat you really need before signing your first paying clientBuilding a profitable coaching practice without a huge audienceThe difference between looking like a coach and actually coaching 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 coaching business, how to get coaching clients, first coaching client, life coach business, coaching clients, start a coaching business, new coach tips, coaching certification, coach training, ICF coaching, coaching niche, coaching offer, sales conversations, coaching referrals, client attraction, finding coaching clients, coaching confidence, coaching practice, build a coaching business, Six Figure Certified

    How Much Money Do Life Coaches REALLY Make? (Real Numbers)

    [Free Training]: How to Become a Professional Certified Coach [JOIN HERE] Can you really make money as a life coach, or is that just something people on the internet like to say? In this episode, Olivia is breaking down what a real coaching career can actually look like, what makes coaching financially viable, and why the answer is a lot more nuanced than simply picking a niche and posting on Instagram. She also gets into the part most people skip over when they talk about becoming a coach: the actual business model behind the skill. From private practice to organizational coaching to executive work and beyond, there are multiple ways to build a legitimate career in coaching. The bigger question is which path makes sense for you, your goals, and the kind of work you want to be known for. If you’ve been wondering whether coaching can become a sustainable source of income, how long it can realistically take to build momentum, or what separates coaches who create real careers from those who struggle to get traction, this episode will give you a much clearer picture of what’s possible and what it actually requires.

    Free Training: How to Become a Professional Certified Coach [JOIN HERE] Check out out our FREE ROI-Coaching Calculator [Plan Your Revenue!] Can coaching actually be a real career, one that pays you well, gives you options, and does not require becoming an influencer first? In this episode, Liv Chapman is pulling back the curtain on what a legitimate career in coaching can actually look like, and why the version you see on social media is only one tiny piece of the picture. From private coaching and corporate opportunities to speaking, consulting, group programs, and beyond, there are far more ways to use professional coaching skills than most aspiring coaches realize. Liv also gets into the money side of the industry, what earning potential can look like, and the part people tend to skip when they talk about building a sustainable coaching career. If you have ever wondered whether coaching could become more than a side hustle, whether certification actually matters, or what your own path could look like, this conversation will give you a completely different way to think about what is possible. The bigger question might not be whether you can make coaching a career. It might be what kind of coaching career you actually want to build. In this episode, we explore: What a real career in coaching can actually look likeWhy coaching is a profession, not a business modelDifferent coaching career paths beyond traditional 1:1 coachingThe reality of coaching income and earning potentialPrivate coaching, corporate coaching, speaking, consulting, and group programsWhy professional coach training and credentials matterThe role of marketing and client acquisition in building a sustainable businessCreating a coaching career around your skills, goals, lifestyle, and visionWhat separates coaches who build long-term careers from those who do notThe question every aspiring coach should answer before deciding what comes next 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  coaching career, life coaching career, how to become a coach, coaching certification, ICF coaching certification, professional coaching, coaching business, make money as a coach, coaching income, coaching salary, coaching career paths, private coaching, one on one coaching, corporate coaching, executive coaching, business coaching, career coaching, coaching clients, starting a coaching business, becoming a certified coach

As more people wonder whether AI could replace coaching altogether, Liv shares her perspective on where the industry is actually headed and why becoming an excellent, highly skilled coach may matter more than ever.

This conversation goes beyond “just believe in yourself.” Olivia gets into the real business foundations that matter before becoming a full-time coach, including whether people are willing to pay you, how confident you are in your ability to create clients, what your financial reality looks like, and whether you actually know what you would do with all that extra time once your 9 to 5 disappears.

    Free Training: How to Become a Professional Certified Coach [JOIN HERE] Have you ever wondered whether you actually have what it takes to become a successful life coach? Maybe people naturally come to you when they need honest advice, a safe place to land, or someone who can see possibility in them when they cannot see it for themselves.

In this episode of Six Figure Certified, Liv Chapman shares seven qualities she has seen repeatedly in the most successful coaches trained through IGC Coaching School.
