191: Keeping Your Business Going and Having A Life At The Same Time

IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE JUGGLING IT ALL

You’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest challenges for online coaches and consultants: keeping your business moving forward when life decides to “life.”

Whether it’s the holidays, unexpected family events, or just the day-to-day hustle, it can feel impossible to stay on top of everything without sacrificing your sanity.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

🌕 Why momentum matters and how to apply Newton’s first law to your business.

🌕 The importance of prioritizing tasks you dislike the most to avoid burnout.

🌕 Practical strategies to keep your business growing—even when time and energy are in short supply.

🌕 How to stop forcing platforms or strategies that don’t align with you and find what truly works for your goals.

🌕 Why vulnerability and authenticity are more valuable than perfection in today’s coaching landscape.

If you’ve ever felt conflicted about your priorities or overwhelmed by the idea of keeping everything running smoothly, this episode is for you.

Learn how to stay consistent without overworking, build momentum in small but meaningful ways, and carve out time for the life you want to live.

190: How Long Is Too Long For Your Group Coaching Program?

Feeling stuck trying to decide the perfect length for your group coaching program?

In this episode, we’re tackling a decision that holds many online coaches and service providers back: determining how long your program should be.

Discover why a program's length can make or break its success and how consumer preferences for shorter timelines in 2024 could influence your decision-making.

But remember—it's not about cutting corners or cramming value into a shorter timeframe. It’s about finding the sweet spot where results are delivered effectively without overwhelming your clients or sacrificing the quality of your offer.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

➡️ Key boundaries for deciding your program’s ideal length.

➡️ Two essential questions to help you design a results-driven framework.

➡️ How to identify the right supports to empower your clients without overloading them—or yourself.

Whether you’re launching your first group program or refining an existing one, this episode will guide you to make confident, strategic decisions.

Don’t miss Allison’s expert tips, real-world examples, and actionable advice to craft a coaching program that gets results and resonates with today’s clients.

186: How Much Of Your Program Needs to be Done Before You Sell It?

How much of your program really needs to be finished before you launch and sell it?

This is a pain point I see regularly with my VIP day clients, who often start with high energy and grand visions, but quickly hit a wall once they realize how many tasks they think they need to check off before they’re "ready" to launch.

The truth is, most of the pressure around program creation comes from outdated stories we tell ourselves—stories that say everything has to be perfect and fully prepared before we invite anyone in.

In this episode, we explore how to shift from the “I need to finish it all” mindset to “I have enough to get started.”

I walk you through identifying the core deliverables and distinguishing between what your clients *need* right now versus what they *might want* later.

We talk about focusing on deliverables that directly support client success instead of pouring energy into endless bells and whistles that won’t impact the transformation you’re promising.

Ready to simplify your program creation process? Tune in to this episode to learn how much of your program needs to be done before you sell it!

185: My Journey As A Non-Certified Coach Online

❓*Does having a certification make you a *real* coach?* ❓

Let’s get real for a minute. This is a conversation I see play out online ALL. THE. TIME

Certifications vs. no certifications. 🤔 Does a piece of paper really define your worth as a coach?

Here’s the truth: I coached for 5 years without any certification. And guess what? My clients got results.

💥 Why? Because I invested in skills that directly impacted their experience, NOT a label that would look good in my bio.

If you’re feeling pressured to get certified just because someone else said you “should,” ask yourself this:

Are you doing it for YOU or because you think it’s a shortcut to charge higher prices?

🛑 Stop chasing validation from others and start building a business based on your OWN values and expertise.

Let’s talk about why certifications might not be the answer to your coaching success in today’s episode! 🎧 Link in bio to get the deep dive!

184: The Reason Your Program Isn’t Selling

Here's what I almost never get a clear answer on when I'm working with a client (or even in the DM's with a potential client)...

"What's the purpose of your program?"

Either it's super vague and not enough information, or it's super long and way too much information.

It's also why your program isn't selling.

In this week's episode, I'm breaking down:

✨ how to get clear on your purpose for your program

✨ how to use that purpose in your marketing and sales conversations

✨ what to do if you aren't sure why your program isn't selling (instead of throwing money at it)

In the 7 years I've been in online business, I’ve done launches, anti-launches, a cross between a launch and "just talking about it," and everything in between.

In this episode, we dive into:

✅ the 2 things you should focus on as you get ready to sell
