Q&A
WHAT IS BUSINESS COACHING?
Business coaching is a practice in which a coach (that’s me) works with business founders (that’s you) to start and expand their businesses. Business coaching involves setting vision, defining goals, implementing strategies, overcoming challenges, leaning into strengths, improving weaknesses, fostering accountability, and bolstering overall confidence. Think: essential business skills (like leadership, communication, marketing, sales, and financial management), clear and practical action plans, and mindset development. My business coaching helps you write the playbook and execute it.
DO I NEED BUSINESS EXPERIENCE TO GET STARTED?
No, you don’t! Bet on Yourself is designed to give you the blueprint and business experience you need to feel confident launching your business.
I want to bet on myself but I don’t have a business idea. Can I still work with you?
Yes — you’re in one of the best stages for us to work together. I will connect with you to understand your strengths and passions, use those strengths and passions to identify business opportunities, clearly articulate potential business concepts, and equip you with the confidence to bring your business to market.
Do you work with freelancers/contractors?
Yes, freelancers and contractors are ideal clients for Bet on Yourself business coaching. I work with freelancers and contractors to help them better position themselves for opportunities, earn more, and create a more predictable stream of income.
Do you work with specific categories or industries?
Bet on Yourself is category- and industry-agnostic. If you’re a freelancer, contractor or solopreneur providing physical or online services in any category, let’s talk. (Think: graphic design, event planning, financial services, video editing, floral design, brand strategy, education, scuba diving lessons, media planning, medicine, music, personal styling, personal cheffing… the list goes on and on).
Do you do product development for physical products?
You develop the physical product itself, I help you develop the brand and the business foundation to bring it to market successfully. I help with the naming, positioning, value proposition, priority messaging, audience development, pricing, marketing, getting your first customer(s), and more.
do you help with digital products and platforms?
For digital products and platforms already in market, I help improve messaging across the entire customer journey, from marketing to in-product messaging. For digital products and platforms not yet in market, I help you develop the brand and the business foundation to bring your digital product or platform to market successfully. That includes help with audience definition, MVP definition, naming, positioning, value proposition, pricing, user acquisition strategies, priority messaging, marketing plans, getting your first customer(s), and more. You develop the digital product itself (read as: you build the app / website / etc).
Do you work with established businesses?
Yes. I am a fractional Head of Growth and business development consultant for established brands and businesses with $500k-$25MM in ARR. To work with me in this capacity, send me a message on LinkedIn.
