Issues in the Coaching industry and why I'm questioning everything in my business.

How It's Really Going with Shana Recker

Feb 21 2023 • 46 mins

I have been absent from being here online for a few weeks, but I have a good reason.

A while back, I started feeling off about my business. I've had lots going on personally in my life, and to be honest, I felt burned out. My business was also slowing down in sales, and I was struggling to keep up with the demand required of me to sell sell sell to make an income. Everything was feeling off.

At this same time, I was having a bad experience trying to get out of a coaching program I no longer aligned with and full disclosure, I could no longer afford to take part. That coach was not letting me out of my contract... so that led me down a path of what was ethical and not ethical in online coaching, and well, I uncovered A LOT.

This is part one of some things I've uncovered in the coaching industry that I believe really need to change. Things I am guilty of myself and no shame, no stories; my guess is a lot of coaches are guilty of because it's how we were taught. But that doesn't excuse the behaviour.

As a coach that helps new online coaches start their businesses, I believe it's my responsibility to do my own research on what is changing in the industry and adjust my business accordingly, as well as educate those in my following what I'm learning.

So this is how it's really going with me right now.... buckle up; this one gets spicy.
