Hey! It’s the holiday season, and as you buy another ugly sweater for Aunt Rachel and some games for cousin Earl, I’ve got a question for you: What are you buying for your life coaching business? Business gifts don’t have to be expensive, and some can be 100% free :). So, let’s take a look […]
Hey Coach Ponyling! This website and community has been around for just over two years! While I’ve been a full-time coach for almost 6.5 years over at The Revolutionary Club, this little project just became a full-blown toddler :). And while I’d like to pretend that I’m a glossy-haired, nicely ironed, well-postured business owner… …the […]
Hey awesome person! One of the most common questions I get after “How do I get paying clients?” (here’s a blog!) and “What do I need to do to be successful as a coach?” (here’s another!) is “Seriously, how do I structure my day?” So I can give you a lot of pretty common tips […]
Quick question: Who is your best “business friend?” Did you immediately have a name pop up, or did you think “ummm….?” I define best business friend as someone else who is a coach (or an entreprenuer who understands the industry), is in-it-to-win-it, and who supports you in your business, the same way you support them.

Have you ever thought about marketing, and been instantly exhausted? Or overwhelmed? A lot of new life coaches have marketing myopia, in this case meaning that they are either: 1) Focused on being EVERYWHERE! ALL AT ONCE!! to the exclusion of everything else or, 2) Totally overwhelmed by marketing, and therefore figuratively hiding under a […]
Have you ever been scrolling through your Facebook feed, and seen endless ads from coaches talking about how they “retired their husbands in 3.5 weeks!” or “Live in Paris on a cloud of diamonds!” or something else equally fake-glamorous? Me, I’m SO over it. That’s not what it’s really like to be a successful coach! […]
Starting a coaching business can feel kind of overwhelming, no? For instance: Are you sitting here, reading this, desperately wanting to know how to start your coaching business, but also wanting to lie down because there’s SO MUCH TO KNOW? Is this the first, or 400th, article you’ve read on “How to start a coaching […]
I’ve been planning for my business for years now. You’d probably expect me to have a fine-tuned system down. In my mind, it would involve champagne, a butler, some sort of high tea, and my entire team high-fiving ourselves saying something like “Cheerio, another year perfectly planned. Thanks old chap!” (I’ve been watching WAAY TO […]
Hey Coach Ponyling! One of the things I like to do at the end of the year is review my business. Actually, sometimes I don’t like to do it because I hate looking at data. But I reward myself with cookies! So that’s fun ;). Anyway, I think it’s important to have more honesty in […]
Years ago one of my friends moved to San Francisco to form a tech start up. I was both proud of him, and excited for him. A little over a year after he left, I ended up following him with my own new company. Yes, the Revolutionary Club was born! We had drinks, and one […]
