The Masterful Coach Molly Claire

The dream of making that first $10k may seem out of reach. You may be wondering how to even start toward attaining that goal. Or you may even question why you should try for such a large goal? Perhaps you have already attained it but now you’re wondering how to scale even more. No matter where you are on your business journey, I want to offer an acceleration method to help you to that $10k level and beyond.
Before we get to how, it’s important to solidify why it matters. The reason is simple, yet profound: this is part of your foundation. There are inherent benefits in achieving $10k and beyond that exceed just the obvious benefits of more income. So let’s talk about this.
“It’s much more than money. Making your first $10k, and what you build within yourself in that $10k, matters.” – Molly Claire

For many of us, bookkeeping and accounting–money in general–can bring up a wide range of strong emotions. You might feel intimidation, uncertainty, discomfort or even anxiety. It can be overwhelming enough to handle your personal finances but now you also have your business finances.
To talk about this critical foundation, I interviewed Ashley Ford, owner of Pretty Penny, LLC for this sixth episode in my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series. As an expert in small business accounting, Ashley shared about limiting beliefs, missing tax deductions, how understanding your numbers get easier, and ways to romanticize your finances. I hope this discussion brings you some peace in the area of your financial foundation.
“We’re running a marathon, not a sprint. We’re in this for the long game. Which means you don’t have to have everything figured out from the beginning, you have a lot of time to continue to evolve, to continue to learn, and to continue to get better at the different parts of your business. And finances is no different.” – Ashley Ford
What You’ll Learn Limiting beliefs: Traditional narrative told to women about finances Just be you to attract your people Missing tax deductions Not a sprint Understanding your numbers gets easier Shake those nerves and do it now Romanticize your finances Contact Info and Recommended Resources Are you a mission-centered Life Coach ready to build your profitable + purposeful business?

You don’t have to have all the skills perfect to get started in your business. In fact, you really should be moving your business forward while continuing to acquire skills. So if you don’t have everything quite there yet, or even if you haven’t yet figured everything out, it’s really okay.
For this fifth episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I focused on outlining a method for auditing your skills. It will help identify where you’re currently at in skill mastery, what skills you need to learn, and how to prioritize those skills. Through this method, I hope you’ll gain confidence as well as direction on what to put your time and money into first, then second, and so on. By knowing better where to concentrate, you can build your business with less stress and uncertainty.
“When you wonder if you'll really do it in this business, how you’ll do it, and if this will work, you can know that the solution lies in the awareness of the skills you need to build.” – Molly Claire
What You’ll Learn Brave making a list  Awareness Confidence Ever-changing How to prioritize Where you are now Current business needs Long term desires Two examples Identifying skills and addressing roadblocks How to move through your list One step at a time, but some simultaneously Question 1: Effective or not?

Two of the foundational pieces for coaches these days is an online presence and branding. After all, how will you quickly reach more of those people who need you without leveraging technology? And how will they know you’re right for them without powerful, accurate branding?
If these two things feel intimidating or overwhelming to you, never fear. I invited Jennie Lakenan and Deena Rutter on this fourth episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series to give us some direction. Plus, these ladies work together and both offer services that don’t take a lot of time or money. In this dual interview, Deena shared some easy tips around branding and how it doesn't need to be elaborate, and Jennie focused on the basics you need to establish an online presence. I hope you’ll find the information they share both compelling and calming because you can do these two things!
 “If a coach knows they want to build their business – and it matters, and you have that mission to help people and make your life better, all those things – don’t let these little things like branding and logo and tech stop you because it’s way easier than you think.” – Molly Claire

As we continue this Foundations for Your Coaching Business series, I want to dedicate this third episode to the idea of CEO mindset. For this, I offer 5 concepts. However, prior to considering them, you must first own and solidify the truth that you are, in fact, a CEO. 
If you are coaching others as a business, and not simply an enjoyable hobby, you are the CEO of your business. But this, for most people, is a huge identity shift. It can feel intimidating, even foreign, and as I discuss it, it may feel like I must be referring to someone else. But I assure you, I am talking to you. So envision this new version of you, and let’s talk about embracing a strong CEO mindset as a foundation for your business.
“When you know where you’re going… and what needs to shift and come together… it allows you to move up… with greater clarity, greater stability and greater ease.” – Molly Claire
What You’ll Learn Embracing the truth that you’re a CEO 5 Concepts of a Strong CEO Mindset #1: C.E.O. = Creating Every Opportunity Types of opportunities Not overdoing #2: How you make decisions Fear of trusting yourself / making mistakes What will serve you well #3: You are the boss Choose what kind you’ll be Step up and own that energy #4: Define the roles that you play Be in the proper role at the appropriate time Segment, fill skill gaps, and reject assumption #5: Uplevel, uplevel, uplevel Don’t shun support Identify how and when you’ll increase your skills Contact Info and Recommended Resources Are you a mission-centered Life Coach ready to build your profitable + purposeful business?

Making sure your business is legal is foundational and brings you so much peace of mind. Knowing everything is good allows you to focus on the more fun parts of building your coaching business. But how do you insure legality? What do you need? Where do you even begin? 
To answer these questions, I’m very excited to bring you the second episode of my new Foundations for Your Coaching Business series. For it, I interviewed Christy Westerfeld, an attorney and legal resource for online entrepreneurs and coaches. Christy offers templates and resources to guide you in several areas of legal compliance, including privacy policies, contracts, trademarks, copyrights, and more. She shared how not all online templates are compliant, and proceeded to online the common mistakes coaches make. Christy included the legal dangers of missing documents and policies, but also emphasized the benefits and trust it brings to client relationships when you are properly covered. 
“Your goal is to build a huge business that changes millions of lives… [So] set up your foundation right so that you can be a force. Right? You don’t want to get knocked down halfway through because none of your stuff was right.” – Christy Westerfeld
What You’ll Learn Clear task list to remove the mystery Online templates that aren’t compliant Family and business can both win Mistakes coaches make No privacy policy (this mistake can be very costly) Unclear contracts and disclaimers (including right to use)  Missing contracts and disclaimers (and lost client trust) Accepting payment before a signed contract (and what to do instead) Contact Info and Recommended Resources I encourage you to not miss a single episode of my Foundations for Your Coaching Business series: mollyclaire.com/the-masterful-coach.
