Why Invest in an Energy Coach?

Nobody needs a coach. You only need a coach to the degree of the game you are playing in business or life. Just like athletes, are you going for the gold in the Olympics–then obviously a coach is required. But if you’re playing in a rec league, no coach is typically needed. The better question to ask yourself is: what game are you playing in business?  

If you look up “energy coach”, what comes up may be energy healers who do Reiki, Akashic Record readings, Human Design readings, or other various esoteric trainings. However they don’t necessarily focus on ensuring business goals will get met. 

On the other end, a business coach, high-performance coach, or mindset coach typically don’t focus on fulfilling your soul’s highest expression or unleashing your light within. 

An Energy Coach for high achieving, mindful entrepreneurs does both. They are more concrete than energy healers in delivering tangible concrete life and business results, while also ensuring you master your energy from within on a path that’s aligned with your highest soul goals like global enlightenment to benefit all humanity versus just your ego’s goals of more fame, power, influence, and wealth. 

An Energy Coach helps you reclaim your energy by identifying and plugging major energy leaks while adding new sources of fresh energy for you to feel fulfilled, happier, and at peace. You will learn tools and practices that build habits for more time, freedom, and spaciousness in life that evokes creativity and the pursuit of happiness. You will gain the courage to cut out what is no longer working and make decisions more aligned with who you’ve become and where you want to be.

While you may still spend a session or two on high performance, learn a healing modality, or a relationship, those areas are under a bigger context of ultimate self-realization.

3 Indicators You are Ready

If you are searching for the most authentic expression of who you are, and you are willing to do whatever it takes to express that, a business energy coach may be for you. 

Here are three indicators that you are ready:

• In Transition from Once Chapter of Life to the Next

One of my clients is a high end attorney who makes great money but burned out by her toxic coworkers, boss, and clients. Her passion to lead personal growth trainings as her own business was on the back burner as she was surviving her job. 

Together, we mapped out a transition plan of what was required as a non negotiable in her current work to stay by a timeframe. We worked through energy drains, developed better self care habits and boundaries, created a new business offering to test with coworkers. She took many actions to release energetic blocks in her body allowing her to take new bold actions courageously that she was paralyzed to take before. Ultimately she landed a huge government contract that funded her dream job within her company as a new department. She got the security and the passion work then forgoing a stable paycheck for a new business venture!

• Crave More Energy and Time Freedom

Another client felt trapped in an old business that she no longer was passionate about but had stable clientele. She was also running her newer passion business that she wanted more time to grow. 

In our work together, she identified what specifically was draining her energy in the old business and developed a step by step action plan to slowly stop taking energy draining actions and replace them replenishing actions that would grow the new business. She ended up firing old clients, reducing her students keeping only the ones she loved to work with. 

The result? She created a new offering in her new passion business that sold out. The courage to face her fears in firing clients and creating a new never been done program gave her a huge confidence boost, refueling a future that was fully aligned with her future vision. 

• Feeling Too Much Pressure and Responsibility as a CEO at the Top

Many CEO clients are lonely at the top having to put on a good face for their teams and family with no one to truly open up to vulnerably with their own personal struggles. One client had gotten injured and could no longer workout the way he wanted. He felt helpless in how to best support his wife going through IVF, and overall was not at his typical energy levels. 

Through coaching, he created new healthy habits and energy exercises that allowed him to both love his body as it was, as well as deal with the pressure and responsibilities of the company. During the course of 3 months, he not only felt more confident in his skin again, be at peace with his anxieties, and even landed a huge business deal unexpectedly as an influencer. 

Litmus Test if You’re Ready

Now, if you’re reading this, I know you’re a high achiever who IS up to a bigger game that’s more aligned with your soul. You have a growth-oriented mindset and are interested in expanding on your current experiences to manifest a bigger vision that lets your light shine brighter.

Ask yourself these questions to determine whether you know you’re ready for a business energy coach:

Questions to Determine if You’re Ready for a Coach

1. Are you looking to grow?

2. Do you have an outcome or goal in mind to achieve?

3. Is that outcome a high priority to achieve?

4. If so, in what timeframe do you want to achieve that outcome?

4. Are you ready to invest time, energy, or money towards that goal?

If you can readily answer yes to most of those questions, I’d recommend interviewing business energy coaches.

How to Vet a Coach

When finding the right coach to work with, make sure that it’s a good fit by vetting them through three areas of credibility, relevance, and resonance.

While a decent coach will be a sounding board, hold you accountable, help you get unstuck, and be your cheerleader. However, a stellar coach is someone who listens deeply to understand what you can’t articulate, and provide you the space, guidance, and tools for a transformative experience that lasts.

Credibility

In essence, does the coach embody, live, breathe, and practice what they preach? Are the coach’s words, actions, and results congruent? 

The best Energy Coach embodies being an Energy Master. An Energy Master embodies universal life force energy in daily life and exists to share these energy principles to others to widely benefit humanity. 

For example, don’t hire a health coach that is unhealthy. Don’t hire a business coach who hasn’t made money. Credibility goes beyond credentials to results they give their clients, plus embodying the principles they are teaching you to be successful. Look for congruence, and if there’s a gap, find out why by asking questions.

For example, if your goal is better work-life balance, self-care, or avoiding burnout, ask them their burnout story. Then ask, “What self-care success have you achieved in your life? This allows you to get a clear “before” and “after” picture across a specific time frame.

If revenue growth is your number one objective, you need to ask the awkward question–how much do you make to see if they accomplished the same level of revenue you’re looking to achieve.

If it’s energy mastery, their energetic presence online and offline as an energy master will be enough to know they are the real deal. 

Also consider, does the coach you are considering have experience and success in what you want coaching you on?

Just because someone has once done the feat you desire to attain, it doesn’t make them a good coach. But if their students do better than them, that’s a huge sign.

These days, a professional coach will already have several client testimonials on their website. In addition, you will see 5-star reviews on Google, Yelp, or social media. Even better, they can give you an objective metric of before and after results from clients. A true professional coach will already have many client success stories on their website before you even have your first inquiry call.

Relevance

We may often like someone, but what they offer isn’t what we’re looking for. Relevance is vital in determining that you actually need what they offer.

Relevance also includes whether their expertise is aligned with your future direction. Get clear on what kind of expertise, experience, or wisdom you’re looking to tap into. Ask, what expertise do they bring relevant to your vision and goals.

Before you even consider pricing or hours, the bottom line is, can they deliver what you’re looking for?

Once you’re clear on that, you should consider paying a premium to work with someone who can achieve the results in half the time. It can be a better investment than working with a newbie who will take double the time for you to achieve results, and you’ll be their guinea pig client. Also, keep in mind that return on investment (ROI) isn’t just financial. ROI also includes getting back more time, health, energy, and fulfillment.

Resonance

Next, consider coach alignment. Do they align with their values? Do you resonate with their energy? Aside from the know, like, trust factor–is there a basic chemistry?

Ideally they resonate on on levels of the mind, body, heart, and soul. There are SO MANY coaches out there. You don’t need 100% perfect alignment, but at least reach for 80% or higher. Don’t settle for less just to “get the goods.”

There IS someone who has the goods AND is a match for the type of entrepreneur you are and want to become. Trust your intuition and gut on this one. No questions need to be asked.

I’ve personally made the mistake of buying a program of someone I somewhat liked enough but just wanted access to their templates and process, only to find out later their values were not the same as mine. As a result, I questioned even using the templates and processes since we were not aligned.

Questions to ask yourself when you meet them is:

• Do they believe in you and your dreams? Or do they steer you in what they think is best for you based on their own success.
• Do they ask good questions that help you gain clarity and trust yourself? Some coaches may be newer or feel like they need to deliver value upfront. They might start doling out advice right away, which may or may not stick because you didn’t discover it for yourself. The best coaches I’ve worked with ask questions I never even thought of, bringing an enlightening perspective that brings me to greater heights.
• Are they superb listeners? Are they intuitive enough to “get you” and read between the lines without you explicitly communicating your goals or intentions?
• Do you feel like a better person just talking to them? Whether you feel confronted, relieved, or alive–trust your gut to let you know on this one.
• Do you sense they can call you out in a way you’ll be able to receive it? Some coaches are more concerned about being liked and thought of well as a buddy than being a coach who will go where it’s uncomfortable.

To recap, three areas to vet a business energy coach are credibility, alignment, and resonance.

Do your research. Most of these three areas can be found on their website, and if not, but you feel compelled to learn more, set up a 1:1 call to interview and get to know them. Trust yourself and your intuition above all, especially if your ego mind is hungry for more money and results.

As many entrepreneurs discover, business is not for the faint of heart. If you want to catalyze your dream lifestyle and the difference you want to make in the world, a business energy coach simply helps you catalyze, accelerate, or magnify your dream life and vision.

They encourage you to do what feels impossible if you did it on your own and enable you to utilize proven methodologies and systems that, ultimately, help you achieve your dreams faster.
