Business Coaching for Doulas
You help people navigate the transition of bringing a life into (or out of) the world. These are the most significant of life transitions. I'm nowhere in the same league, but I do help people navigate the transition of bringing a business into the world. There are some parallels.
Similar to your work, I serve as a guide. I offer my clients knowledge, experience, patience, and space. You have a lot of passion for what you do, and I provide structure, accountability, and information that will support this work being a self-supporting business!
Here are questions I've helped past doula clients figure out for their businesses:
How much should I charge?
How do I find clients?
How do I manage sporadic large lump sum payments from birth clients?
How many clients do I need?
How do I balance my desire to make my services financially accessible with my need to make a living?
I'd be honored to be your "business doula" into the world of self-employment! My coaching comes in two main formats: group coaching and one-on-one coaching. Group coaching provides all the benefits of one-on-one plus alleviates the loneliness that often comes from running your own business, and it's very affordably priced. For those who function better individually, I also offer one-on-one sessions.
I want you to feel confident that I'm the right coach for you. This is why I offer a free 30min consultation. It's a chance for us to ensure it'll be a fruitful coaching relationship. If you're ready to move forward, or even just curious, you can book that consultation conveniently online!
If you've never felt insecure when comparing yourself to others, this article isn't for you. For the rest of us normal people, we need to explore this and how it's impacting our current or future businesses. It's vital for self-employed businesses to understand their competitive advantages and disadvantages. But trying to understand this usually gets us stuck, demoralized, or frozen. Let me reframe competition and the dis/advantages of your business so that you can more easily succeed.
