What Tech and Systems Do You Need When Starting a Coaching Business? [Ep 54]

Feeling overwhelmed by all the tech you think you need to start your coaching business? Breathe easy - because you do not need thousands of dollars for fancy websites, funnel systems, and shiny software to land your first client. I built my first coaching business with just pen and paper, a Google Doc, and an Instagram account. That's it! And guess what? I wasn't a tech wizard!

In today's episode, I'm cutting through the noise and busting the biggest myth that's keeping new coaches stuck. I'll walk you through exactly what you need (just three simple things!), what you absolutely don't need, and how to keep everything streamlined so you can focus on what actually matters: getting paying clients through human connection. No fancy systems required.

So if tech overwhelm is holding you back, this episode is your permission slip to simplify and start making money. I'll meet you wherever you are on your tech journey - free, low-cost, or all-in options - so you can stop overthinking and start coaching.
