This week's question comes from Sheila.
Sheila writes (I'm slightly paraphrasing)— I'm really interested in health coaching, but a bit unsure about the money side of things. I've mailed and talked with a few people in the industry, but so many don't seem to be doing very well financially. This makes me a bit nervous.
Any additional insights?
Great question Sheila, and oh yeah—I have a couple thoughts to share with you on this very topic. Let's get this started!

As consultants, coaches, leaders, and subject matter experts, we're expected to be:
- "on top of our game"
- "in step / tune with our industry"
- "ahead of the curve"
- "have the answers"
- and a lot of other things
Sounds reasonable right? After all, clients are paying us to be the expert voice.
But it's challenging isn't it? With all the other activities we have, including managing money, staff, clients, delivery, administration, automation, errands, planning, strategy, travel, and a host of other factors: how do we keep up? How do we keep that "step ahead" and our "go-to expert" personas?
Information overload and keeping up with—ideally ahead of—our industries is almost a job in and of itself. But clients expect it, and we should expect it of ourselves, to the best extent possible.
So today, I'm sharing 7 Strategies to Keep Up—Or Stay Ahead Of—Industry Trends.
Start 'er up!

If you had a chance to listen to my past business "crash, burn and rebuild" story, you remember that a major issue was "cost management" and lessons learned.
I have a lot of passion about this topic and helping others answer the question "how to best balance what you really should buy, and what to wait on?"
And last week I covered 7 Strategies to 2X (or more!) your business in 2016. What was #7?
Manage your money more effectively.
Money management is where many businesses make or break their futures. We're all trained to think: just do more business: one more client / one more sale / one more .... one more...
Sure, that’s all great—we of COURSE need more clients, products, streams, and revenue. But it's what we DO with that revenue that transforms businesses from bad to good, good to great, great to stellar.
But there's this other side of the equation, right?
We've all heard things like:
- "You have to spend money to make money"
- "Scared money don't make money"
- “You gotta pay to play”
- And lots of other variations on the same theme
So, how do we balance pay-to-play, vs business cost management? I'm diving into shiny objects vs. cost management today So let's get it started!
