Do You Need a Business Coach or a New Brand?

Share This Post:

Kathleen here and lately I’ve been receiving a lot of emails from creative entrepreneurs who aren’t sure whether they need a business coach or a brand platform. The short answer: you’re going to need both. So where do you begin? Do you hire a business coach? Or a branding agency? Let’s dig in.

A business coach can help you through many stages of your business—from helping you launch a new business or project off the ground to helping you hurdle over a plateau. Here are a few reasons why you might want to hire a business coach

You can get a lot out of both a business coach and a brand platform, but the timing of where you invest your time, energy, and money for maximum impact in your business vision can be a little tricky.

You’ll get the most out of working with a coach if you have awareness around what your goals are and where you’re feeling stuck. A business coach will help you clarify exactly where things aren’t working, prioritize your goals and ideas, break those goals down into actionable next steps, and hold you accountable for getting it done.

You have to give to get.

Stop asking for favors and sliding into people’s DM‘s for an introduction or to pitch your kid for a job. Relationships are not transactional and it is no one else’s responsibility to get you where you’re going.

Invest in your network, show up, send the handwritten note, go to events, grab coffee - it’ll pay off.

AI is not a replacement for Actual Intelligence. Stop forcing it down everyone’s throat. We are replacing independent thought with the convenience of Claude.

Stop the AI videos, AI songs, AI headshots, AI writing. In the age of fake, fabricated, and false, be authentic. The world needs more of you, not ChatGPT.

When you won’t do it, she does.

She holds space in her head, her task list, and her life to follow up, pick up, remind, and eventually do, because you don’t see all the emotional labor, and frankly, you’ve never had to.

Society enabled you, your mom enabled you, and for a long time, we did too.

We are done. Welcome to perimenopause, it’s gonna be one hell of a wake-up for you.

#You will make decisions, and then you will make those decisions “right.”

Indecision keeps you paralyzed, failure is part of the process, and you need to treat every outcome as a learning opportunity. Life and business require constant iteration, and the best you can do is keep moving forward.

No one has it all figured out, but not deciding means not growing.
