For Other Coaches: Business Building Tools

Here are a few of the tools that I use (and love!) for running my coaching business. You will notice that these links will likely change over time because as my experience with the tools changes, I update this!

For Other Coaches: Business Building Tools

I have tried soooo many different email programs but my all-time favorite is ConvertKit. I love their teaching and I love the software. It's easy-to-use AND super powerful and I'm confident it will grow with me. It makes creating content upgrades and delivering lead magnets a breeze and their reports are ridiculously simple for me to read and understand. Pricing starts at $29/mo and includes all the features.

Popop Ally Plugin


​The one thing I don't love about ConvertKit is the limited number and style of optin forms. ​I just started using a new tool for my optins and I am so excited about it I can hardly stand it. PopupAlly is really the polite popup that lets you offer ​awesome service and build your list at the same time.

​Social Media

For Other Coaches: Business Building Tools

​SocialBee is my new social sharing tool. It has replaced THREE other tools that I was using. I can share evergreen and one-time posts to Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and Twitter with ease. ​And the interface is BEAUTIFUL. It's harder to work when the tool is ugly.

If you are using the Pinterest search engine to grow your business (and if not, WHY NOT?!), you need to get Tailwind. Like, right now. ​You can schedule content to Pinterest (Pinterest-approved!) and Instagram including a sexy hashtag finder. It's fast and easy and helped me triple my site traffic in less than 3 months. You can get started with Tailwind free AND get a $15 credit just by clicking my link.

This is my other favorite Pinterest tool. Tasty Pins allows you to set Pinterest images and the oh-so-important descriptions. You know you need vertical images and good descriptions, right? Well with Tasty Pins you can upload a correctly-sized image, tell browser extensions which images NOT to share to Pinterest and add keyword-rich pin descriptions and hashtags. 

Hosting

Growth-oriented podcast host

I ​just switched to a new growth-oriented podcast host, Captivate.fm, and I couldn't be happier! They have a gorgeous interface, the analytics are phenomenal, migration was super simple and it's ​powerful AND ​easy to use. If you try it out you can get your first 7-days totally free!

I own and managed several different websites and my default site for beginners or new sites is SiteGround. Their hosting has been very reliable, their support is quick and responsive, and their pricing is awesome. For a reasonably-priced, secure and reliable host, you can't do any better! 

For Other Coaches: Business Building Tools

This was my first 'managed' WordPress host and they just keep getting better and better. If you have greater performance needs than entry-level hosting provides, check out WPEngine! They just bought my favorite framework, StudioPress, and I can't wait to see what that acquisition does to their offerings.

​I LOVE BLOG VAULT! Full review coming soon!

​If you don't have a backup solution for your website, drop everything ​and get it.

For Other Coaches: Business Building Tools

​You have to manage your URLs/domain names. My pick for this is Namecheap. Good prices, excellent support, free privacy protection, and more.

​Themes

For Other Coaches: Business Building Tools

The majority of my websites use the Genesis Framework and almost all of those use a Restored316 designs theme. (This site is using Refined.) I love Lauren's work, she keeps her themes updated and is always helpful when I'm trying to hack them for some special feature or another.​

Do you know why today is EXTRA special? It’s Get Do you know why today is EXTRA special? It’s Get To Know Your Clients Day and that means it’s all about YOU! In my career as a coach, I have met a lot of amazing women and one of my favorite things to learn about them is what they wanted to be when they grew up. I wanted to be a gymnast and a concert pianist. Now tell me your dream!
We've already established that 2020 did not go acc We've already established that 2020 did not go according to plan and 2021 may not follow the script either. So many things are uncertain and anything BUT business as usual. What I know for sure, though, is why I got into coaching in the first place. I have a real passion for helping women reconnect with the best part of themselves and build their confidence based on who they are.  And I am committed, come what may, to help my clients create plans for their lives that are real and attainable and fit them like a glove. How can I help you in 2021, friend?
How do you get yourself motivated on a Monday morn How do you get yourself motivated on a Monday morning? For me, meditating and having a leisurely cup of tea with almond milk creamer is a great start to my day.  But not until I’ve listened to my theme song! (I Wrote My Way Out from Hamilton, the Mixtape version). My theme song changes from time to time but it always gets me excited about the day and dancing in my seat. I absolutely LOVE what I do, but sometimes I just need a little extra time to get in the right frame of mind before spending the day being a mirror for others. So how about you? I want to hear how you motivate yourself… maybe it will inspire others in the comments!
Did you get enough sleep last night? No? Well, don Did you get enough sleep last night? No? Well, don't be afraid to get back in bed, sis, sleep is magical! I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for reasons to sleep late because I sometimes can't resist staying up even though I need my sleep. Like the other night when I stayed up until 4:20a binge-watching the 3rd season of Star Trek: Discovery. Yes, I did that. What's the last show that made you lose sleep?
Raise your hand if 2020 looked anything like the p Raise your hand if 2020 looked anything like the plans you made for it at the end of last year! Yeah? Me neither. But you know what? I never would have guessed I’d have grown my coaching practice 3-fold as a result of a global pandemic and shutdown. I learned my flexibility and ability to pivot is critical to being happy and successful and that I can survive just about anything and continue finding joy and laughter. What unexpected lessons did you discover in 2020? And what’s in the plans for ’21?
Are you ready to scream if someone asks you for ON Are you ready to scream if someone asks you for ONE MORE THING? Here's a quick solution: Say No. You can say yes to all the things that matter, IF you say no to the things that don't. You can't do everything. Let me say that again, you cannot do everything. Did I hear a sigh of relief? Good. All that stuff that isn't important right now? Let it go. I'm becoming a 'let it go' ninja. Who's with me?
Just as there are seasons throughout the year, the Just as there are seasons throughout the year, there are seasons throughout our lives that change too. When this year began, I have a pretty rigid set of expectations. Ha! Fooled me! I'm not mad because I'm now in a completely different space, knowing that by bending I won't break. Flexible is the name of the game, staying on the balls of my feet.  I’m so grateful for these changes, because it’s a reminder that nothing lasts forever. What season are you in today?
