Change Is an Inside Job! - Cosmicways Holistic Life Coaching

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in coaching but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Vibha Sharma, Founder of Cosmicways Holistic Life Coaching, located in San Ramon, CA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a spiritual, personal transformation, and mindful leadership coach. I work with individuals, high-achieving professionals, leaders, and entrepreneurs globally.

Tell us about yourself

As I reflect on my journey to become a coach, I wanted to do something that I was naturally good at, help others, feel fulfilled, can do it all day long, and it doesn't feel like work. I realized I was acting like a life coach to my family and friends all my life, and then I decided to be a professional coach. I had no idea that I'll be able to touch so many people's lives daily. In my personal and professional coaching, I emphasize living with purpose, fostering a state of inner and outer well-being, empathy, and adding value to the true meaning of life. And transitioning from the traditional B2B and B2C model to the H2H human to human concept in our daily lives. Show up to add value, be at your best, and help your teams and co-workers with authenticity. Create alignment and positivity at work and in life, instead of thinking of getting ahead of others, impressing your boss, and getting a promotion. And it changes everything! I feel blessed to be able to serve my amazing clients and see them transform their lives from the inside out. I read a quote somewhere "If you can go to bed at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day." I feel this when I contemplate my day during my nightly meditation, and I am so grateful!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I feel accomplished every day when I hear from my clients how coaching has changed their lives.

Success for me is:

When you feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment through your work.
When you feel excited every morning to start working with your clients.
When you hear success stories of your clients.
When you feel that you add value every day or make a positive difference in your clients' lives.
When you lose track of time talking to your clients.
When you see your clients already logged in and waiting for you :) in every single session.
When you see your clients ask for extensions to work with you repeatedly.
When your ideal clients come looking for you and find you.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the biggest challenges was the decision to start coaching as a business. I thought helping family and friends was one thing, and doing it full time was another. Waiting too long to realize that I was ready a long time ago to be able to help my clients professionally. Another challenge was reaching out to my ideal clients and marketing effectively. You know that your work is changing people's lives daily. Being a full-time coach cannot spend much time on the marketing part of the business. Reaching out to the potential clients on a larger scale who need your help and will benefit by working with you.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

My advice would be to start working towards your goals, start taking baby steps and inspired actions and keep learning every day. Hire a coach or mentor who can help you achieve your goals, develop confidence and provide support. Develop a strong relationship with your inner self and always listen to your heart/intuition.

Apart from being the Founder, CEO, Personal Transformation, and Mindful Leadership Coach at Cosmicways Holistic Life Coaching, I am the Global Goodwill Ambassador at Global Goodwill Ambassadors (GGA), Global Peace Ambassador, California State Chair for Oneness and Wisdom G-100, and San Francisco Chapter Chairperson for Mindfulness, ALL (All Ladies League) the USA, the world's largest all-inclusive international women's chamber and a universal movement for the welfare, wealth, and well-being of all by empowering women leadership. I am working on my vision to connect, invite, and support as many women as possible. Provide them a safe, nurturing space to share, care for, grow, and expand the circle of like-minded women and create a bigger impact. And create more self-help and support groups, fostering a caring, helpful, and engaged community where every person participates and contributes with inspiring thoughts.

As a chair, I want to be there for all women who need support and networks, irrespective of their economic, social, or cultural background. Now more than ever during the post-pandemic, people need to get in touch with their inner peace, authentic self, and inner guidance system. To find answers to their difficulties and live a more stable, heart-centered life. I published my first book called 'Turn within- Reconnect with your inner peace and well-being. To spread awareness regarding meditation, daily quiet time, stillness, or centering. This book can help people who silently suffer alone for years. Sometimes having all the material success and still relying on drugs to deal with stress, depression, and mental issues. I feel the need to educate more and more people about the daily practice of connecting with the spirit, higher power, and divine through meditation to live a more peaceful, blissful life.
