Think of it as a chance to soak up all of those fresh start vibes, take a clear look at what’s going on in your business, and make some quick decisions that could help you see better results moving forward.This is hands down one of my favourite times of the year,  nothing quite beats the ‘back to school’ energy of September and the turn into autumn.It’s the perfect time of year to reflect and recalibrate going forward, and when it comes to business, this last part of the year is often one of the most profitable for coaches - all of which makes it the perfect moment to do a quick check-in with yourself and your business. That’s what this mini audit is all about.I’ll be walking you through five simple but powerful questions you can ask yourself right now to review what’s working, spot what needs a tweak, and set yourself up for a stronger finish to 2025.Tune in to learn:The simple but powerful “fresh start” question every coach should ask themselves at the start of a new season.Why most coaches’ messaging quietly falls flat - and the easy framework you can use to instantly sharpen yours.The hidden gaps in your offer suite that could be costing you clients (and how to spot them quickly).The one clarifying question to ask about your marketing that reveals whether you’re really growing - or just nurturing the same audience.What letting go (of offers, clients, or old habits) has to do with creating more space for success in your coaching businessCheck out the blog post that accompanies this episode.Laura’s links:Laura's websiteLaura's InstagramLaura's YouTubeJoin Laura’s email list for updatesOther links mentioned in this episode:Spark - A 5-Day Reset to Reignite Your Coaching BusinessIf you're a health, life or spiritual coach who wants to grow and scale your business in a holistic, sustainable and enjoyable way then I'd LOVE to help you…✨Book a one off Clarity Call: Just need a quick pick my brains type session or support to create a plan of action you implement on your own?
