Chapter 1: The Unexpected Journey into Coaching

When I reflect on my journey, I realize that coaching was never on my radar when I embarked on my solopreneur path back in 2018. Initially, I was simply documenting my learning experiences through writing, blogging, and creating various projects.

It was quite a surprise when I received an email from a subscriber during those early days—back when I had only a handful of followers. She wrote something along the lines of, "You're an excellent teacher!"

Wait, what? A teacher? Me? Sure, I had conducted a few classes during graduate school, but those were focused on technical subjects like coding, lab setups, calculus, and circuit design! This felt entirely different. I was sharing my insights through writing and storytelling, not teaching in the traditional sense.

In reality, I was just sharing my experiences, and apparently, it resonated with others! That single email opened my eyes to the possibilities of what I could achieve. So thank you, Barb; your encouragement has been invaluable to me.

Although I began to approach my blogging as a teaching platform, it wasn't until much later that I officially ventured into coaching. That transition marked a significant turning point in my life.

Coaching revealed my hidden potential. It helped me realize that I possessed more knowledge than I previously believed. It also multiplied my income and, most importantly, allowed me to create genuine change in others' lives.

While it's easy to write instructional content on achieving specific outcomes, the real challenge lies in ensuring that readers can discern what applies to their unique situations. Coaching provided me with the opportunity to engage directly with individuals, which is far more rewarding than simply increasing my bank account.

If you’re in the process of building a business, consider integrating coaching or consulting into your offerings. The benefits you will reap may exceed anything you can currently envision.
