I wasted 6 years before starting my online coaching business…
Hey, I’m Maggie.
I was working full-time in the corporate world, spending waaay more than 40 hours a week pleasing customers, busting my butt to get sales, and jumping at every work-fire. I was burned out from traveling each week - spending hours in my car or at the airport, sleeping in hotel beds, and eating meals alone.
Finally enough was enough. I had worked myself sick and I could hardly get out of bed in the morning.
Even though I was making multiple six-figures in my corporate career, you couldn’t pay me more to keep showing up.
I had already spent 6 years trying to figure out what online business to start so that I could work from home and spend time doing the things I wanted to - like camping with my husband and our dog!
I decided that I would finally make it work. I would start a business and not give up.
But when I started, I made a lot of mistakes. I spent hundreds of hours trying to learn from online “guru’s” and spending money on courses and programs that left me feeling overwhelmed, overworked, and not making a single sale.
I knew that if I was going to make my business work, I had to strip away all the clutter I had learned and get back to basics.
From this experience, I learned how to create a coaching business the easy way - simple and profitable.
So what did I do wrong the first time around?
I made every mistake…
I researched and researched and became overwhelmed with all the options.
I spent months searching the internet for ideas, spent days creating and changing my brand colors, I thought about logos, and business cards, and bought course after course. I thought I needed the perfect business wrapped with a bow before I could even get started.
I didn’t know what was important to focus on when starting out which led me to wasting thousands of dollars and a lot of time.
I kept trying to force myself to use someone else’s strategy and mimic their offer.
Yes. There are a lot of great strategies for growing a coaching business, but I kept forcing myself into strategies created by other people without deciding if they fit my goals. I copied their coaching offer formats and sat there dumbfounded when no one wanted to buy from me. Instead of doing the work myself, I blindly copied other people.
I didn’t actually sell anything until I did the upfront work myself! It was so much easier to sell something that was truly mine.
3. I hid my business from friends and family.I was so afraid of what people would think about me when I started my business. I didn’t want them to see anything until I was making money because I was worried they would talk me out of it, think what I was saying was stupid, or talk behind my back.
But hiding from my friends and family only led me to hiding in my business. If I couldn’t tell the people who cared the most for me what I was up to, how was I going to confidently talk to strangers about it?
4. I had no idea how to connect with my ideal clients.
I have an MBA and worked in Sales and Marketing for nearly a decade, but I had no idea how to be a content creator. What was I supposed to write about, what do people even want to hear? Content consumed every single day when I started my business. I wasted hours staring at a blank screen and my content was inconsistent. I spent hours filming and refilming Instagram stories and no one even watched them.
When I finally figured out what to write and how to write about it, I was able to minimize time spent creating content and actually spend time working with clients.
5. I listened to bad advice from the “gurus”.
I spent tons of time and money buying courses and coaching programs that never seemed to work. All the advice was outdated, only applied if you already had a massive social media following, or required you to send a gazillion DMs to get a sale.
But the truth is you just need to keep it simple and repeat the basics consistently.
From failing to completely changing my life…
I was on the verge of just giving up, but I had promised myself that I wouldn’t quit. Not only had I waited years to get started, but now I had been working months in my business and had made no money. I knew if I was going to make this coaching business work I had to do things differently.
I stripped away all the excess I had filled my brain with and created a new plan - one that was simple and fit with what I was good at.
I made my first sale!
It was a $3,000 three month coaching package and instead of me asking the client to join, the client asked how she could sign up!
I remember it like yesterday. I remember running downstairs and dancing around my kitchen like a crazy person!
It was a major turning point for me. 3 months later I quit my corporate career and made coaching my full-time gig.
Now I help other people just like me start their own online businesses and create the life of their dreams - by keeping it simple and leaning into their strengths.

That more that you’re craving is FREEDOM. Freedom to live life on your own terms and have the life you’ve been dreaming about.
2. You love the idea of making money online but don’t know how.
You’ve seen it all over Pinterest - the many ways to make money online, and you have no idea which business model would actually work for you.

3. You like the idea of helping people through coaching, but have no idea how to make it a business

2. Your business has only been live for a month and you’ve already started signing clients!
From $0 to making money in no time! Knowing exactly how to communicate to your ideal clients and show them how you can help them is a repeatable and sustainable way to make money. Getting started in your business is just the beginning to totally transform your life.
3. You’re finally on track to create the life you really want
