Join my substack : https://mademoisellemindset.substack.com/ If you need help figuring this out, I created The $5K Breakthrough System, a diagnostic workbook that shows you exactly what’s leaking revenue, time, and energy in your business in just 48 hours. Spent thousands on courses, coaching, and masterminds but still have no results? Your wallet is empty, your coach got rich, and you're more stuck than before? Here's the brutal truth: it's not the coach's fault - you're investing from fear, not strategy. In this raw episode, I share my $4K coaching disaster and reveal why you keep choosing wrong investments. You're seeking validation instead of transformation, chasing overnight success, and never diagnosing your actual problem. Learn when you're NOT ready to invest, how to identify your real business issue first, and the exact questions to ask before spending another dollar. Stop the cycle of bad investments and failed transformations. #coaching #businessinvestment #entrepreneurship [0:00 - 1:00] Hook - Investing but wallet decreasing, no transformation[1:00 - 2:15] The cycle: excitement, hope, then disappointment[2:15 - 2:45] Spoiler: It's not you, it's HOW you invest[2:45 - 4:19] Personal story: $4K coaching investment disaster[4:19 - 4:48] Radio silence, vague feedback, zero results[4:48 - 5:30] Became employee of own business instead of leader[5:30 - 6:19] Part my fault: waiting for validation, not being proactive[6:19 - 7:07] Mistake: Hired a "saver" instead of understanding my problem[7:07 - 8:14] Niching down killed my creativity (multi-passionate struggles)[8:14 - 9:10] Shoutout: 4K podcast downloads, Substack growth[9:10 - 10:09] Lesson: Advice worked for others but not for me[10:09 - 11:17] Shiny object syndrome: jumping to new trends without alignment[11:17 - 12:21] Unfinished courses syndrome - the real problem[12:21 - 13:10] Why you keep choosing wrong investments[13:10 - 14:20] Reason 1: Investing from fear, not strategy or clarity[14:20 - 14:54] Making decisions like employee, not entrepreneur[14:54 - 15:31] Reason 2: Believing in overnight success[15:31 - 16:00] Reason 3: Looking for validation, not transformation[16:00 - 17:08] Acting like student instead of business leader[17:08 - 18:21] Reason 4: Not diagnosing your problem before investing[18:21 - 19:21] Success story: Hired someone closer to my level, got results[19:21 - 20:05] Client example: $6K revenue but no conversions until working with me[20:05 - 21:23] Finding someone who understands your current reality[21:23 - 21:34] When NOT to invest[21:34 - 22:29] Don't put all hope in one program/person[22:29 - 23:34] Don't jump between shiny objects[23:34 - 24:20] Don't believe overnight transformation promises[24:20 - 25:07] Don't invest with fear or scarcity mindset[25:07 - 27:13] When you ARE ready to invest[27:13 - 28:05] Ready when you know your exact problem[28:05 - 29:19] How to choose right investment[29:19 - 30:07] Need transparency and framework that works[30:07 - 31:06] Money mindset shift: from loss to circulation[31:06 - 32:21] Reframing money as energy that circulates[32:21 - 33:23] Ask "Can I afford NOT to invest?" instead[33:23 - 34:38] Bad coaches exist, but often we ask wrong questions[34:38 - 35:14] Invest from clarity and strategy, not fear[35:14 - end] Free 5K roadmap, thank you to 4K listeners Timeline for Transcription:
