Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in coaching but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Leannda Shearer, Founder of The Resilience Coach, located in Traverse City, MI, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
The Resilience Coach came about from experiences in my own life and wanting to inspire others to create a life they enjoy. I combine boundary setting, confidence work, personalized routines, and accountability with helping and encouraging my clients to thrive in a way that truly works for them.
Tell us about yourself
After years of working in the service industry, I wanted to create a career aligned with my purpose. I am on this earth to help others and share my story. I am motivated each day by the conversations I get to have, the vulnerability that others share with me, and the success I can communicate with them when they watch their lives evolve into something magical.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is every final session I have with a client. When we share all they accomplished during our time together, that joy, combined with the awe, is why I do what I do.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Being a business owner comes with its own set of bittersweet moments. One of the hardest things for me being a business owner is being a mom too, and balancing my energy between being a present mother and being present in my business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
If you want to start your own business, my first tip is just to start. Don't wait until you have everything perfect to begin. My second tip is to network and be open to conversations with people from all walks of life because you will never know where they will take you. My last advice is to be available to evolve as a person; starting your own business is likely to bring up old scars and beliefs. The more relaxed you are about seeing and healing them, the more you'll evolve.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I came across a really powerful quote not too long ago. "what you are not changing; you are choosing." I used to accept my life as it was. I would play the victim and thought nothing would ever be different. I was so wrong. We can all have a life that lights us up, a life we don't need to escape from. I just wanted to tell you that, in case no one else ever has.
