1. Risk Rejection

Even if you have been able to build a coaching business and have a certain degree of success, the fear of rejection is very real. It is scary to put yourself out there. No one wants to be humiliated to left feeling less than enough.

The reality is that there will be people who reject what you have to offer. There will be people who will not resonate with you. Guess what? That’s a good thing! You can’t work with everyone anyway and if you take the risk of putting yourself out there, the RIGHT people will come to you and resonate with you.

Your action step: What is one thing that you have been wanting to put out into the world but have been putting it off? Is it doing a live video? Reaching out to someone as a possible joint venture partner? I want you to take a deep breath, make the commitment, and actually do that one thing.

Rarely does one regret taking the risk of putting herself out there, but most people do regret not putting themselves out there.

2 Risk Failure

The fear of failure is also very, very real. This is especially true if you have tried things in the past that haven’t worked out. But, that doesn’t mean you don’t keep trying!

In your coaching business, there will be times when you put out programs, or offers, or products that will flop. There will be times when you try different tactics or ways of doing things that won’t work out. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when. Those things were not a waste of time, they were learning experiences and opportunities to grow as a person.

Your Action Step: Don’t stop trying out new things just because they may fail. Things not working out or failing doesn’t make you a failure. Take a chance!

3. Risk Success

There is a lot I want to say about the very real fear that we can have about being a success. But, I am going to let Marianne Williamson speak instead:


Your Action Step: Think bigger. Let your light shine and let that brightness take away the darkness of everyone who crosses your path.

I want to encourage you to take at least one of these risks this week. 🙂 Put yourself out there in a way that you haven’t done before. Make mistakes and “fail” so that you will learn and grow. Be talented, brilliant, and fabulous!
