Building a coaching business when the world is unstable is hard enough; doing it in isolation is exponentially more difficult. In this solo episode, Meg Rentschler addresses the real pressures coaches are facing in an unstable world: longer client acquisition cycles, economic anxiety, and the emotional weight of building a business amid global chaos. The world needs coaches right now more than ever, but the question is whether you have positioned yourself to be found. We will walk through six concrete pillars for building a client pipeline that holds up in hard times, and we close with a candid look at the mental and emotional side of sustainability with a reminder that no coach should be building alone. There’s no toxic positivity here, just an honest look at reality and a grounded path forward. Join us!
