You might think you’re ready for new clients, but are you energetically open to them? 👀

Getting really honest with yourself: is there any part of you that doesn’t actually want to take on more clients right now?

If so, you might unconsciously be showing up in ways that stops them from coming into your world.

This is a pattern I’ve seen time and time again, and it recently showed up with one of my coaching clients.

They said they were ready for new clients, but I knew there was something sneakily getting in their way.

Our job was less about focusing on the “how” or finding new strategies to bring in clients, and more about removing the stuff getting in the way of a simple system that was already working for them.

We did some digging, and uncovered 5 reasons they weren't signing more clients:

1️⃣ To start, they were selling an offer that felt like a "should" because it seemed like it would convert more people in the current economy — instead of doubling down on what they're best at and who they best serve (aka the people who are more than happy to pay for their higher-end, more bespoke services).

And, because of continuously selling this "should" offer for months...

2️⃣ They had taken on a number of non-ideal clients, which resulted in them not enjoying their coaching calls nearly as much.

Not-so-hot take: when you're no longer enjoying your coaching calls, you probably aren't going to want to sign additional clients!

As a result of these calls...

3️⃣ They began doubting their own skills, because these non-ideal clients weren't getting the same caliber of results.

As you likely know, it’s really hard to sell your services when you’re feeling down on yourself or your abilities...and this client was seeing a dip in their income alongside the self-doubt they were feeling.

Self-doubt and lack of sales tend to go hand-in-hand.

4️⃣ They were also tired of showing up on social media — but more specifically, they were tired of rude comments on their posts and feeling more vulnerable than ever sharing their opinions publicly.

With more visibility comes more haters, and while it's part of leveling up and gets easier to stomach over time, it never feels good to have a stranger on the internet come at you — especially when you’re already doubting yourself!

This is true no matter how thick your skin is or how long you've been in business.

5️⃣ And, to top it all off, they were stuck in a pattern of tweaking a bunch of little details that don't really matter, in order to feel productive and avoid looking deeper into why they actually felt so bad overall in the first place. They were working more with even less to show for it. No fun at all!

These are the moments when it really pays to have a coach, and someone outside of your brain who can easily spot exactly what's happening, where you're getting stuck, and how to help you move through it all.

We uncovered all of this and turned things around within 30 minutes...and they walked away with a renewed sense of confidence and clarity, feeling like they got their power back and their creative juices flowing once again.

Or, in their words: "Am I Stella? Because I just got my groove back!" 😂

(I loved this so much that I added it to my "Work with me" page!)

And, following our session together, you can probably guess what happened next...

My client immediately began attracting clients and having people reach out to work together again 🎉

Because now they not only really wanted clients and felt confident and ready to help them, but they also showed up with that energy backing all of their actions.

Energy is funny like that. You can’t see it but you feel it. And it makes such a big difference.

So if things have felt slow lately, I invite you to turn inward and explore where you might be unintentionally closing yourself off to new business before you try to figure things out on an outward, action-taking level.

Your actions might be totally fine, and instead you might simply need an energy tune-up!

If so, I'm your girl 😉

Let's get you out of this funk and feeling like yourself again!

The sooner you break free from the sneaky stuff that's holding you back and sapping your joy, the sooner you can get back to creating results you love in a way that feels fun, simple, and sustainable.

You can expect to feel a shift on our very first call.
