The Problem With Goals In 2025 As A Coach
Several months ago, I set a goal to land my first HT client. After crunching the numbers, I realized I’d need to do around 250 outreaches per day. (In hindsight using outreach to get clients at that time was not the smartest thing haha). But I didn’t have automation, so I had to do outreach manually while having school, a part-time, and my free community. There was a point where I almost gave up. I was spending hours every day on outreach, and people kept telling me to quit. It got to the point that I’d get called on in the middle of class while DMing people. I was about to stop before I gave it 30 more days. But it was enough time to improve my script. My response rate 2.4x’d and I got my first HT client. So instead of quitting, think about the tipping point where everything goes exponential. Your content and community improve, or people FINALLY respond to your outreach. Giving up makes your brain think you can't succeed and will try less for future goals. This creates a negative feedback loop for future goals. Lesson: Detach the timeframe from your goal. I didn’t set a New Year’s resolution, but I have goals I made months ago, and I stopped focusing on the timeframe for them. Do you set timeframes for your goals and coaching business and if so why?
