Juggling A Job, Family, and Coaching Business

Making It All Work Together: Job, Family, and Your Coaching Dream

Starting an emotional health coaching business while juggling a job and family?

Yep, it feels like trying to keep a bunch of balls in the air. But hey, it's totally doable with some smart moves. Here's how you can manage these competing priorities and maintain balance on your journey to becoming a successful coach.

Time Management is Key

First up, take a good look at your week. Where can you fit in coaching time outside of work? Could be early mornings or evenings—heck, maybe even weekends. Lock these times down as if they're important meetings or family gatherings because guess what? They are.

Go Digital with Coaching

Thanks to technology, you can coach from anywhere! This means less travel time and more flexibility. Got family commitments? No problem. You can be there for them and still work on growing your business.

Be Realistic With Goals

Dream big but start small. Kicking off with fewer clients might be wise until you figure out how to balance everything without turning into a walking zombie.

Share the Load

You don't have to soldier through on your own. Can someone else handle certain tasks at work, home, or in your business? Maybe it's time for a virtual assistant or rotating chores within the household—anything that buys you more precious time.

Keep Everyone in the Loop

Talk about your coaching dream with those around you; whether it’s giving heads-up to family members so they know when mummy/daddy will be busy or checking if your boss is cool with flexible hours now and then.

Don't Forget 'You' Time

All this balancing act could wear anyone out! Make sure you’re not putting self-care on hold—relaxation isn’t just nice; it’s necessary for avoiding burnout.

Time for a Little Self-Reflection

Now and then, hit the pause button. Look around. Is everything humming along as you'd hoped? It's totally fine to make some adjustments on the fly—being adaptable is key to finding that sweet spot.

Juggling your day job with growing a coaching business and being present for your family isn’t like performing a flawless ballet—it’s more about making thoughtful decisions that gel with what you value most in life.

So keep your eyes on the prize but stay limber; manage your time like a boss and embrace the ease of connecting online. Give yourself permission to aim for attainable goals, and don't hesitate to lean on others when needed. Make self-care an absolute must in your schedule.

Celebrate every win, no matter how small, and remember—it's entirely within reach to pair up passion with profitability in creating the business of your dreams.
