When you first started coaching, what was the most frustrating part of managing clients day to day?

Looking back at when you first started, curious what actually caught you off guard on the business/admin side of things.

Biggest bottleneck?

What's the one non-coaching task that drains the most energy from your business? Admin? Marketing? Client onboarding? Curious where everyone's biggest bottleneck is.

Question for coaches who were just starting out, what did you actually use to manage your first clients?

Did you just wing it with something like WhatsApp and Google Docs until you had enough clients to justify paying for something proper? Or did you jump straight into a tool like Paperbell?

Asking because I'm at that stage right now and everything feels like overkill for 2-3 clients...

Does Bark have healthy leads?

I signed up for Bark but I haven't invested in tokens yet. There are a lot of requests for services but I'm worried it's spam like LinkedIn client requests. Anybody have experience with Bark? Is there a similar/better service you have used?

How to get volunteers to build up my ICF hours

I’m currently training as a coach and working toward completing the coaching hours required for my ICF certification.

I’d love to connect with people who are completely new to coaching so they can experience it for the first time while I continue developing my skills.

For those of you who have been through this process, how did you find volunteer clients? Which platforms, communities, or approaches worked best for you?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who were able to connect with volunteers outside their immediate network.

After 20,000+ hours of coaching, here's the thing I see most people get wrong about why they're stuck

Most people come to coaching thinking they need more motivation, better habits, or a stronger mindset.

What I've actually found, over and over, is that they're stuck because something inside them is actively working against the goal they're trying to reach. Not laziness. Not weakness. A hidden pattern that's been running so long it just feels normal.

The frustrating part: the area where it shows up (career, relationships, health) is usually not where it actually comes from.

Has anyone here experienced that — feeling stuck in one area but sensing the real issue is somewhere else entirely?

Has having an Associate's or Bachelor's Degree in Psychology helped you?

Hello there! I'm planning to pursue life coaching as a career and would like to know whether having a psychology degree (whether that be an associate's, bachelor's, master's, etc) has helped you in attracting clients or has given you a lot of tools/understanding that has helped you in your practice.

Based on what I've seen, life experience seems to provide one with more knowledge in how to help people than an undergraduate degree does, but I still want to hear your opinions. Originally, I planned to pursue a Bachelor's in Psych but have become very disillusioned by the degree program I've chosen. I thought about becoming a mental health counselor but now I feel that life coaching is more my calling.

So anyways, what do you think? Has having a degree helped you? And also, do you have any advice for someone who will soon be entering the field? Thanks so much for your time!!

Best internationally recognized certification program hunt ~ need help find it it!

Hello there,

A bit of my background, I am a Venezuelan psychologist who migrated to the US I would like to restart my career by coaching, and would like it to be recognized internationally since the political climate in the country currently is attacking people just like me. I don't really have the money for a master's degree, so I figure id start by building my business and build my way to get a master's God knows where!

So basically, I am in search of a training program that can get me started and guided. The knowledge, I am a bit glad I know stuff already, but I'd like it to be complete, since it is not the same thing. And a plus would be if they have financial plans or can pay as you go. Are there any recommendations, options, or experiences you have had that can help me get initiated?

Why is it so hard to figure out what's actually stopping a funnel from converting?

I've been noticing something while studying funnels, landing pages, and online businesses.

When a funnel isn't converting, people often get completely different advice:

- Improve the headline

- Change the offer

- Add testimonials

- Fix pricing

- Rewrite emails

- Increase traffic

The problem is that nobody seems to know which issue is actually causing the biggest bottleneck.

I'm curious:

When you've had a landing page, webinar, sales page, or funnel underperform, how did you figure out what was actually wrong?

Did you hire someone, use software, ask for feedback, or just test things until something worked?

I'd love to hear real experiences because I'm trying to understand how people currently solve this problem.
