#37 JULIE VALBUENA: HOW MUCH IS YOUR CONFIDENCE WORTH? HOW TO GAIN REAL CONFIDENCE AS A NEW COACH. CONFIDENCE = INCOME. SELLING WHAT YOUR CLIENTS WANT, DELIVERING WHAT THEY NEED.

In this episode of the Punch Drunk Soul podcast, I’m interviewing Julie Valbuena. I wanted to chat with Julie because she, like many other new coaches I know, had trouble getting into action at first and simply getting started. She tried to put all the pieces together herself for years, attending webinars, getting on email lists, downloading workbooks, reading books, but finally threw her hands up in the air and got on a clarity call with a coach that completely changed everything for her. 

 

We don’t call them Clarity Calls for no reason guys, they truly help get you clear on your goals, clear on what’s stopping you from achieving them, and clear on a roadmap forward. If you’re on a clarity call with a good coach, that coach will make sure you walk away crystal clear on how you want to move forward and what you’re willing to do about your goals and problems, regardless of whether or not the two of you decide to work together.

 

On that note, I want to pause and offer a clarity session to a few lucky listeners today who are dreaming of starting or growing soul-aligned coaching businesses. To the women who book a call with me before the end of the year, I want to give away my 2-part meditation pack to help you overcome your fears and limiting beliefs and manifest the life, money and business of your dreams valued at $47. I’m also going to throw in my Millionaire Mindset hypnosis that I’ve created and been using on myself for the past few months to help me create $70,000 in the last 2 months alone. I haven’t sold this hypnosis ever before, so it’s a special treat to those of you who are brave enough to jump on a call with me and get your 2020 coaching business mapped out. I want to reward you for stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something to help you move forward towards your goals of becoming an impactful, profitable coach in 2020.

 

This clarity session is for you if you’re wanting to make 2020 the year you grow your coaching business. It’s for you if you want help creating the income and impact you know you’re capable of but you haven’t been able to achieve just yet. You can book it at punchdrunksoul.com/claritycall.

 

But back to this episode! Julie went through a divorce a few years back, similar to Shana on our last episode, and it totally transformed her life. She became a new woman and the women in her life took notice and started to come to her seeking help. That’s when she realized she wanted to coach. She overcame something extremely tough and came out better for it and she wanted the opportunity to work with women to do the same.

 

The lesson we hear time and time again in these interviews is that you have to start before you’re ready and you just need to be a few steps ahead of the people you want to help.

 

After making several big investments, Julie got majorrrr skin in the game and started showing up differently. That’s when she says she began to land consistent clients through her Facebook group and email marketing and she’s only been in business about a year now. 

 

What I love about this episode is Julie is a REALLY new coach. But she’s been playing big to learn how to make her business work quickly. She really shares honestly about what it’s been like to invest in high-ticket coaches multiple times to get her where she wanted to be in her first year in business.

 

She also shares what it was like to be in trial and error on her own for a while and how it caused her to lose confidence and almost quit like many other coaches do who lose confidence early on in their business.

 

We dive into where she finds clients and how she has the confidence to sell to her potential clients on this episode and so much more! 

 

I think one of the things her and I really connect on is that you HAVE to be confident in what you’re selling. If you’re confident, sales becomes infinitely easier.

 

I know you guys are going to enjoy this episode, so let’s dive in!
