The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 33: The Secret to Handling Internet TrollsAt the beginning of 2019 I used a free software that reminded me to be Relentless every day.  See, when I first started coaching I started and stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped. Started and stopped.  (I think you are getting to the point that it happened… A LOT! )  AND, my results reflected that.  But when I decided to keep going (and figured out the secret to keep the momentum even when things di...2019-12-1812 min
The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 32: The Secret to Handling Internet TrollsNow, I’d love to sit here and tell you that I’ve reached such a stage of enlightenment that nothing anyone says bothers me or hurts my feelings. But that would be what we call a lie :) I, like you, am human. And the opinions of others can take its toll on me (even if they are perfect strangers. I know, weird right?) But, those comments, even when hurtful, do not have to keep you from getting what you want in business and life. In today’s Vlog, I am sharin...2019-12-1110 min
The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 31: How do I Decide What to Invest in for my Business?“How do I decide what to invest in for my business?” I don’t know about you, but when I first started I bought every course, program and software I came across, because I thought that’s what I needed to do. And while taking action was great, I got confused for a bit and lost sight of the most important question in business. (Which I’m sharing with you in today’s C.R.U.S.H. Method Vlog!) This is the question that took me from spending spree to strategic investing in my busine...2019-12-0414 min

The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 29: The Grind That Stops You In Your TracksWhat would it be like if you were meeting people, and you ran out of space on your calendar to talk to all the people that might be interested in your services?  That’s exactly what happened to me during one particular “hustle” moment in my business…  I was meeting people, and talking to people, so frequently, that I managed to “break” my follow-up system!!  For most people I talk to, the issue is not enough conversations, and there’s a fear of getting sucked into the “hustle and grind” l...2019-11-2112 min
The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 28: The Myth That Makes Coaches Burn OutOne of the questions we get asked A LOT (like, a lot, a lot) is...  “How do you do it all?”  With all the moving parts of a coaching business (plus taking care of the kiddos, being a spouse, taking care of our bodies, oh… and having a life!), HOW does one person handle it all?  Well… this week’s myth-busting episode tells you how. 2019-11-0613 min

The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 25: Mythbusting the Coaching BusinessWhen I first started online, I wanted to succeed so bad.  I read everything I could find about how to make money online.  And I tried to follow everything to the letter.  But it didn’t always work out so well…  For example: I decided to have a Black Friday sale.

The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 19:Have you ever freaked out about this part of your business?I was on the phone with one of my best friends, and I was so nervous I almost peed myself. She had already told me she wanted to coach with me, but when it came to talking about the money, I just felt… stuck.  Somehow, by the end of the call, I made the sale! For $10/hour... That is not a misprint. My first official coaching client paid me less money than a teenager delivering pizzas for Dominos. 2019-07-3112 min

The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 16: What to do when you feel trapped or stuck?Many coaches are so big on having a Positive Mindset that we normal humans can feel insecure or like we’re doing something wrong if we have “one of those days.”  Can’t it sometimes feel exhausting trying to always be positive?  Not only that, but I’ve seen the proof that when someone is under the spell of having to STAY POSITIVE, that usually keeps them S-T-U-C-K...  Because they are missing out on the other side of motivation, which is often even more powerful.  In today’s...2019-06-1913 min

The Amanda Kaufman ShowEpisode 6: What Separates Successful Coaches from “Struggle Bus” CoachesBelieve it or not, the most important “ingredient” in coaching success is NOT your: Niche Message Or even your offer (GASP! Marketing Heresy!!!) Those things are important for sure, and they can give you some quick wins, and some quick sales. But to have long term coaching success you absolutely need this: (Hint: Chris and I “TELL ALL” in the video.)
