Send us Fan MailIs Hiring a Business Coach Really Worth the Money? How to Evaluate the ROI Before Investing (and NO I am not spending the entire episode convincing you to hire a business coach). It’s a question I think more business owners should be asking before making a significant investment in their growth, OR delaying their growth because they’re afraid to invest in themselves or allow in support.I’ve spent years working with entrepreneurs, helping them build profitable businesses, navigate challenging seasons, make strategic decisions, and pursue goals that once felt out of reach. I’ve also invested in business coaching, mentorship, and consulting myself across the past decade.And here’s what I’ve come to believe: The value of business coaching isn’t just measured by how much money you make. It’s also measured by how much time you save, the decisions you make, the person you become, and the freedom you create.I’ve seen folks build six- and seven-figure businesses. I’ve also seen clients discover that the business they worked so hard to build was no longer the dream they wanted to pursue. Both can represent an extraordinary return on investment.But not all business support is created equal, and hiring the wrong kind of support can leave you feeling frustrated, financially stretched, and no closer to where you want to be.So let’s talk about how to determine whether hiring a business coach is worth it for you and what questions to ask yourself and THEM before you say YES.If you would like to learn more about The Mothered Business Mastermind, click here. Want to download the 15 minute CEO Map?

Send us Fan MailA disappointing launch or sales event can make you question your price, your offer, your marketing, and your entire business model before you’ve had time to look at what happened.In this episode of The Mothered Business, I’m walking you through how to assess a workshop, webinar, or launch that didn’t bring in the sales you hoped for. Where did the right people stop moving forward? Did they register but miss the event? Did the topic attract people who weren’t ready for your offer? Did qualified buyers understand the invitation? Was there enough follow-up for them to make a decision?We’ll talk about:Why registrations measure curiosity, rather than readiness to buyHow to locate the gap between attendance, buyer fit, offer clarity, and sales conversationsThe four-column exercise I use to separate results from assumptionsWhy you should finish the follow-up before declaring the event a failureHow to decide whether you want to improve this sales path or build a different oneYou’re allowed to be disappointed. You’re also allowed to decide you no longer want to sell through live launches, but I'm here to remind you that you owe it to yourself to look at ALL the information and make that choice intentionally versus an emotionally responsive one.If you would like to learn more about The Mothered Business Mastermind, click here. Want to download the 15 minute CEO Map?
