Should you take on clients while you’re studying for your certification? 🧐⁣
⁣
My short answer? Yes! If you feel comfortable…⁣
⁣
When I was in the midst of getting my CPT through NASM, I did a few things to build up my experience and confidence:⁣
⁣
1️⃣ I got mentored by one of my close family friends who was certified and had been running her own successful business. I even helped run a couple of her group workouts!⁣
⁣
2️⃣ I kept tabs on what I was learning and realized the only way I was going to gain experience + trust was to PRACTICE and implement what I was learning.⁣
⁣
3️⃣ I started taking on clients at a lower price than what I eventually wanted to charge.⁣
⁣
4️⃣ I trained and created programs for my family/friends as well as myself!⁣
⁣
Reading the textbook and watching module videos is super important when it comes to knowing the science and reasoning in personal training, but the only way you’re going to build a successful business is to go out and teach! I’m not saying every soon to be certified fitness or health entrepreneur needs to do this (especially if you don’t feel comfortable yet), but it surely helps you gain confidence as a trainer. Even if you start small with family or friends, it’s a step in the right direction!⁣
⁣
AND if you’re ready to start gaining experience and taking clients, but you don’t know how to create an offer that actually 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 you those dream clients, you can learn exactly how in The Creating a Client Attracting Program FREE training! We’re going to cover knowing your ideal client in & out, how to find out what your ideal client is ready to buy, and mindset tips to avoid underpricing your new killer, client attracting offer because YOU DESERVE IT! ⁣

Did/do you take on practice clients while studying for your certification?

Did you reach your goals last month? If not, it’s OKAY! 💛⁣
⁣
I know how easy it is to express limiting beliefs when you haven’t reached your goals yet, or didn’t sign that client that you thought was such a good fit for your program. Let’s take a hot second to gather yourself:⁣
⁣
Don’t underestimate your knowledge.⁣
〰️You have the capability and brain power to start teaching clients now⁣
⁣
Knock the comparison out the window.⁣
〰️You are just as special and able to get where they are! Just because someone seems more successful than you, doesn’t mean they aren’t having some self-doubts too. We’re all human!⁣
⁣
Long-term growth is a steady process, but that doesn’t mean you won’t sign clients now.⁣
〰️How many times have you told yourself “my time will come” or “maybe I’ll sign a client next month”? SIS! The clients are out there and you need to go find them! Start building relationships and exposing them to your content. The time will come when clients are knocking in your DM’s to work with you, but until then, treat your business like a business!⁣
⁣
I’ve got something free dropping on Monday that will go further into how you can start finding and engaging with your dream clients on IG, so you can get one step closer to hitting your goals this month. Get ready!!! 🔥⁣
⁣
What’s a limiting belief that you tell yourself month after month? 👇🏼

Scaring is for trick or treaters, not your future clients! 🤡⁣
⁣
🔔New Instagram message from ⁣
⁣
Them: “Hey Maddie! I’ve been eyeing your page for SO long and I want to know how I can work with you?”⁣
⁣
You: “Hi Dream Client! Thanks for reaching out. I’m so excited to hear this! When are you available to jump on a call to discuss?”⁣
⁣
Read… and ghosted…
⁣
You go into this whirlwind of “what did I do wrong?” phase. While some business coaches might tell you this is a good way to respond to an inquiry, I believe there’s one extra step you need to take in order to prevent ghosting in the DM’s or even after the discovery call!⁣
⁣
That extra step?⁣
⁣
✨Ask pre-qualifying questions!⁣
⁣
Sometimes, people who message you for more information on your program might be trying to get a feel of who you are and how you react OR aren’t really ready to invest right then and there. ⁣
⁣
So how can you fix this “throw up” mistake?⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Express your excitement and appreciation for their reach out⁣
2️⃣ Ask if it’s okay for you to ask them a few questions about them & their business needs⁣
3️⃣ Ask questions to know if they are ACTUALLY your dream client!!⁣
⁣
Tell me, are you guilty of this? It’s okay if you are!

Feeling stuck? Then it’s time to grow! 🌱⁣
⁣
Every time I’ve felt stuck in my business, it’s because there was a growth spurt waiting for me to act upon. I know how easy it is to feel stuck and give up, but seriously DON’T! Do you REALLY want to keep feeling this weight on your chest? There’s light on the other side of the tunnel waiting for you to claim! People like Bill Gates and Jessica Alba weren’t able to “aahhaa” their monumental ideas and found billion dollar companies without being a little stuck and growing from it, so why can’t you too?⁣
⁣
Here’s what you can do the next time you feel like it’s impossible to jump over a hurdle:⁣
⁣
✨ Reflect⁣
What do you feel like is off about your business, yourself, and/or your program? What do you feel was the root of your possible failure or struggle? What can you do to prevent the likelihood of it happening again?⁣
⁣
✨ Plan⁣
Get cracking on a new plan/strategy! While doing this, backtrack. Where do you want to be? Then reverse engineer the steps to get there.⁣
⁣
✨ Get to work!⁣
The whole point of making a plan is to get out of whatever sense of “stuck” or rut you’re in! Great things take time and aren’t supposed to feel comfortable at first. It’s because they are a new reality for you!⁣
⁣
Describe how you were able to overcome an obstacle in your life or biz.👇🏼

Girl, you’re going to want to save this post because it’s a good one. 🏷⁣
⁣
As a health based coach, you spend so much time taking care of yourself and your current clients, you probably forget to spend time engaging with new people...⁣
⁣
Don’t worry, it happens to us all at some point. Lead generation doesn’t need to be as scary and disingenuous as you think it is. AND there’s a way to do it without making your followers feel awkward about chatting with you. 😳⁣
⁣
Before I spill the “secret”, I want you to realize that there are hundreds if not thousands of people out there you want to help, so I know how easy it can be to rush through steps. I’m telling you right now (especially if you’re just now starting to build a community on IG) you are not going to sign a client in a day. Real connections and long-lasting clients take time to warm up. Building relationships and getting to know these people as humans is the MOST important part of standing out as a coach. Plus, you won’t come off stale or pushy.⁣
⁣
So… here’s some steps you should be acting upon every day in order to attract your dream client to follow you!⁣
⁣
🤍 Find and create a list of 5 hashtags your ideal client would be using on their posts (EX: )⁣
⁣
🤍 Engage with 5-8 recent & top posts on that hashtag’s page⁣
⁣
🤍 While engaging, make sure you’re clicking on profiles and seeing if they are a good potential client⁣
⁣
🤍 Engage even further on their profile, send them a heart felt DM (please for goodness sake make this personal)⁣
⁣
🤍 Track who you’re talking to!⁣
⁣
Repeat this daily and I guarantee you’ll have new people warming up to you.⁣
⁣
Save this post and try this lead gen “secret” for a couple of days! How did it go?

I did something scary AF this week🙈⁣
⁣
(Also yes, I know I’m on the floor 😅)⁣
⁣
I pivoted my niche and who I want to serve. Why? Because before, it didn’t feel right and I wasn’t in love with my offer. I went from serving both coaches and do it for you entrepreneurs -> just health based coaches.⁣
⁣
The great thing about being our own bosses is we get to choose who we want to work with and what we want to offer. It’s our jobs as coaches to find our true passions and share it with our clients (BS FREE)!⁣
⁣
I know you’ve thought about doing this once or maybe even twice before, but didn’t pull through because you were afraid you were going to miss out on signing potential clients. YOU WON’T! You’ll simply be able to recognize your dream client quicker. If you aren’t completely obsessed with your offer, then shift to one that you could talk about all day long!!⁣
⁣
So... if you aren’t 100% happy with your ideal client avatar or aren’t head over heels with your program, why? I want to listen.👇🏼⁣
⁣
✨ P.S. I’m working on an actionable packed program specifically for fitness, health, and wellness coaches. It’s going to be a GAME CHANGER for how you can sell out your offer!! I’ll give you some more information as we get closer to launch day! ✨

Want to know 1 of the top mistakes I see new online business owners make? 🤦🏼‍♀️⁣
⁣
Not having a clear game plan!⁣
⁣
I know how hectic it can seem. Balancing your work-life balance, finances, creating your signature offer, engaging on the ‘gram, chatting with leads, etc… but having all of the nitty gritty written out and planned in front of you will help you eliminate spending time on non-income producing tasks vs. increasing your time on valuable, energy pumping, and income producing ones. You can’t just have your business “exist” and expect the clients to roll in. You NEED to have clarity around your client & biz pipeline. Here’s a quick example:⁣
⁣
✨Trying to convince a cold lead that your offer is worth it. (Honestly, you probably don’t even know they are a cold lead and are ultimately pushing them away.)⁣
⁣
VS⁣
⁣
✨Spending time creating valuable and relevant content and building relationships with new people each day so they can learn from this content.⁣
⁣
This is just a glimpse of what it means to have a strategy as an online business owner. The Build Your Own Brand course goes over this in detail and MORE &&& all of the content is officially open today! 🎉 Head over to the link in my bio to see what it’s all about!

3 health tips that will increase your income 👐🏼⁣
⁣
A lot of online entrepreneurs skip out on their health when building their business. If you want to grow and maximize your success, you NEED to pay more attention to your health!⁣
⁣
Why exactly is this? Because think about it, if you suffer from low energy, feeling ill and tired due to an unhealthy lifestyle, and not having a clear work-life balance, it’s going to be extremely difficult for you to show up consistently on social media and for your clients.⁣
⁣
So here’s what you can do to fix these issues and take a HUGE step forward to hitting your biz goals:⁣
⁣
1️⃣ Do some sort of workout or daily movement each day when you feel you have the most time and motivation, then plan it in your calendar!⁣
⁣
Exercise helps increase your energy levels long-term and helps you get better sleep so you can focus more throughout the day⁣
⁣
2️⃣ Write down your goals & track your progress!⁣
⁣
I cannot stress this enough. No matter if it’s a business related goal or a fitness related goal, knowing exactly where you are now and where you want to be will help you plan the strategy to get there.⁣
⁣
3️⃣ Give yourself a mental break!⁣
⁣
I enjoy not working on the weekends. It gives me a chance to let my audience in on my personal life through IG stories while still letting them know I’m serious about showing up⁣
⁣
Which one of these tips resonated with you the most?

📖STORY TIME!⁣
⁣
I’d like to tell you a story. It’s about WHY I do what I do and why I’d like to help YOU achieve signing consistent clients and hitting your fitness goals all at the same time.⁣
 ⁣
For years, I pondered on how to merge my experience in personal training and social media marketing. I knew it would be completely draining to have two jobs in two different professions. I realized how I'd always wanted to help others was in front of me the whole time… blending fitness and business into one cohesive-work life balance. It's on every new entrepreneurs mind to have a successful business, but almost all of them were seriously lacking in their fitness/heath because of the sleepless nights and countless hours of trial and error. I knew this was the perfect business model for me and I was so excited to help people begin their transformations. 🥰⁣
 ⁣
The reason I wanted to share my story with you is because I want you to know me. And I want you to know that help isn't a sign of defeat and it's sure as heck not a bad thing!!⁣
 ⁣
I’m partnering with 5 other insanely successful coaches who are experts in their area to create a guide for you on exactly how to make your brand or business a success! ⁣

Swipe to see your expectation vs. reality when being productive ➡️⁣
⁣
You spent the whole night thinking and planning exactly what you were going achieve the next day. Yet tomorrow rolls around and you’ve barely made a dent in your list. I get it, it’s exhausting, frustrating, and discouraging to do this over and over. But guess what? Change starts with you!⁣
⁣
It’s easier to implement and stick to a big change when you start small. Create some new, smaller habits like these:⁣
⁣
✨Make your bed every morning (this helps me get in the productive mindset right off the bat)⁣
✨Set a set time each day in the morning (or evening if that’s your jam) to exercise⁣
✨Show up daily on your IG stories (even if it’s just showing your coffee)⁣
⁣
What small habit will you integrate into your life to start shaping up a big change?⁣
⁣
P.S. Happy !! Thanks Luna for inspiring me for this post. Taking you out potty 4 times a day (as small of a habit as it may be) has definitely has increased my daily cardio. 😂🏃🏽‍♀️
