What if the "security" you're clinging to is actually the riskiest path you could take? I sat down with business and mindset coach Candy Motzek to explore why talented professionals stay trapped in corporate roles—and how to make the leap into coaching without going broke.
Here's the reality check: Your corporate job isn't as secure as you think. Downsizing happens to star players too—and having a side coaching business creates real financial security, not just passion fulfillment.
Candy helped one corporate leader transition from managing KPIs to coaching at a major university. But here's where most coaches get stuck: You can be amazing at coaching and still be broke. The skills that make you brilliant at transformation don't automatically equal business success.
Many fabulous coaches have hardly any clients—and we're fixing that problem today.
✅ Why your corporate job might be riskier than starting your own business (and how a side coaching practice creates real security)
✅ The real reason people aren't buying your coaching (hint: it's probably not your qualifications)
✅ How "buffering" keeps you stuck in busy work instead of income-generating activities (and what to do instead)
The bottom line: When you're doing work that energizes instead of drains you, everything changes. You stop buffering with extra shopping trips and spa visits because you're not constantly rewarding yourself for surviving tough days. The freedom and fulfillment on the other side of that leap is worth every moment of uncertainty.
Ready to stop playing it safe and start building the coaching business you've been dreaming about? This episode gives you the roadmap to make it happen without the overwhelm.
