I hope you’re having a lovely week with lots of plans for the weekend. Maybe a bbq, time with family and friends, or just sleeping in?

I’ll be heading back up to the mountains for some lovely time in nature and a beautiful 4th of July festival by the river.

I love being on the open road, windows down, wind in your hair. Is there anything more freeing?

Speaking of feeling free, wouldn’t it be lovely if we could feel as comfortable around our clients, during coaching sessions, or closing sales as we do relaxing on a summer weekend?

Well I’m here to say we can.

Something I notice come up often with clients and fellow coaches is that feeling of ‘not being good enough‘ or ‘feeling like a fraud’.

This is especially common when we’re first starting a new business and can, unfortunately, lead to struggles and even quitting our dreams.

But this isn’t how we’re meant to work.

So often I see entrepreneurs go from online courses, to certifications, and then signing back up for another program.

There’s nothing wrong with getting educated or working hard. But way too often it’s this need to feel Ready. We hope that if we finally get enough letters behind our name or credentials that then we’ll feel confident enough to be a great coach.

I’m here to say that you are ALREADY an expert and don’t need another credential to tell you that you’re good enough.

Being an expert is one of the top 3 most important pieces to having a successful coaching or wellness business (more to come on my top 3 list soon).

So without further adieu…

3 Steps to Owning Your Expertise

Step 1: Create a Life Resume

You have years and years of experience in Life. You’ve had to overcome your own trials and tribulations. And now you’re on the other side of all of that and want to share with others how they can do the same. This makes you an EXPERT.

Grab a piece of paper and write down everything that makes you qualified for the career you’re creating.

It can be traditional education (I had no idea while studying Anthropology in college that it would someday be the perfect degree for my coaching business). Or maybe that amazing series of books you read that helped you overcome a hard time. Or how all your friends always come to you for advice on relationships, healthy eating, etc.

Make an all inclusive list of every bit of experience that you have that’s going to support you in your business. And I bet you’ll feel like a freaking amazing Expert.

Step 2: You Have Brilliance Only You Can Share

You have a gift that only you can express. There are clients out there who are going to resonate with your style and who you are more than anyone else. By not standing in our truth, by playing small, we are missing out on the opportunity to be of service, to create financial independence, and to work with beautiful people who want exactly what we have.

You are not a scam artist. You aren’t trying to take advantage of anyone. You are a heart centered entrepreneur who has a message and it is your responsibility to get it out there. By owning your Expertise you are offering all of your potential clients, as well as yourself, the chance for transformation and to live the best life possible.

Step 3: Surround Yourself With and Emulate Fellow Experts

Who in your community would you consider to be an Expert? Who inspires you and seems so confident in what they do? Surround yourself with these people!

Before I was able to transform my business and start earning the money I desired, I had to surround myself with women who were already doing it. I read their articles, liked their Facebook pages, and invested in my own personal mentor because I wanted to live at the vibration that would allow me to earn $10,000+ a month. And I couldn’t do that if I surrounded myself with people who were focused on the struggle and feeling like there’s not enough…not enough clients, money, time, etc.

The point is that you have to be so immersed in the lifestyle that you desire that it begins to feel natural to you. Of course you’re an expert. Of course you deserve to make 5k, 10k, or 20k a month.

There’s more than enough. You are brilliant. And you deserve everything that you desire.

Stop the struggle and start living your dreams.
