This Is Why Your Coaching or Consulting Business Is Not Growing
y coaching or consulting business has aspirations—big, bold goals that inspire excitement and motivation.
But there’s one thing I’ve noticed that holds most businesses back: Aspirational Inaction.
Setting high goals feels great, but what happens when the initial excitement fades?
Our ambitions often trigger doubts and objections:
“I want to make $100K, but I don’t want to invest $2K to learn how.” “I want to hit $1M, but I don’t have the time to invest.” “I want to scale to $10K a month, but I need to finish my website first.”
These aspirations reveal the closest obstacles to your progress.
While setting goals is fun, the real challenge lies in answering the question, “How do I get there?”
That’s where things get tricky. Instead of starting on the straightforward path to growth, many opt for the easier, shinier route—chasing quick fixes and gimmicks, hoping to bypass the hard work.
But here’s the truth:
Action precedes clarity.
It’s easy to talk about big goals, but it takes courage to actually pursue them.
In the time it takes to find a shortcut, you could have made real progress by simply starting.
Growth isn’t always glamorous, and it doesn’t give you what you want—it gives you what you need.
By avoiding the hard path, you delay the challenges that are essential for developing the skills and mindset required to reach your goals.
