I can’t believe I’ve been running I Heart My Life for seven years now. In retrospect, this business was the best thing that could have come out of a quarter-life crisis. I went from feeling lost and unfilled to full of purpose and passion. I’m so blessed to love what I do for a living, and I never want to take that for granted. From having the opportunity to help women around the world to being in control of how and when I work, there are countless reasons why I love running a coaching business. And I know there are so many people who have considered embarking on the journey of creating a coaching biz of their own. So, I wanted to share some of my favorite aspects of running my business with those of you considering taking this path. If you’re already a coach or business owner, don’t write this one off. Instead, use it as a reminder of all that we have to be grateful for in these roles we have. Follow along as I reveal my top 10 favorite aspects of running this business. There’s way more than 10, trust me. But we’d be here all day and night if I tried to list out every single thing that I love about what I do. Listen as I discuss everything from channeling my creativity and love for writing to the biggest freedoms and rewards that come with the job. I talk about the unexpected comfort I found in connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs and explain how running my own business has opened the doors for endless opportunities for wealth (and how it can do the same for you). Now, I don’t want to be misleading here. There are most certainly times when I’m stressed, working too much, or feeling like I don’t know what the heck I’m doing. That’s human nature (and par for the course in any industry). But that’s another reason why I wanted to record this episode. Maybe nothing is perfect, but I hope this can be a reminder for you to take time to acknowledge all that you are grateful for, especially in the moments where you’re filled with doubt, frustration, or uncertainty. Last but not least, I hope this serves as a reminder of what is possible for you, too. So, if you are an aspiring coach or business owner, I invite you to listen for the reasons that resonate most with your desires to enter the industry. As for any veteran coaches out there, I challenge you to write a list of what you love most about what you do. I’ve always found that a bit of gratitude goes a long way. Lots of love, Emily xx P.S.

There are over 3 billion people online, so there are more than enough clients to go around.” -Emily Williams “You can take something from every chapter that you've been living in, every chapter that you've experienced, and apply it to your coaching business.
