I don’t know about you, but I think it’s really helpful when coaches or entrepreneurs share where they invest in themselves and where they’re putting their money to see growth. This is particularly helpful for me when it comes to coaches.

And while it’s cool to see where other people investing, it doesn’t mean I have to invest in what they are investing. What works for someone else may not work for me or you. When you’re considering investing, it’s important to ask yourself what support you’re craving, what you feel you need to learn, how you want to be challenged, and what kind of support would make you feel empowered.

I always encourage investing from that place in your own business and your own growth, but I still find it fascinating to hear the types of coaches they are investing in. So, I decided, hell yes! I’m going to tell my people and take you behind the scenes of the last year of my own business and share who I invested in and what for, and I hope it gives you permission to invest in what feels good for YOU.

Social Media

This is an area that really feels hard for me and I totally get in my head the most about. Posting on the feed is fucking hard for me! I literally have no idea what to post most of the time and I tend to overthink all of it. It made me realize that I needed some type of mentorship and support, so I invested in Shannon McKinstrie, who created The Reels Lab.

This is a monthly subscription and every week, she creates 4 done-for-you reels. She gives you the trending audio, caption template, hook, and how to film it. All you have to do is fill your messaging into it and film it. It’s like a breath of fresh air. I don’t have to think about it. I can just go create my content and it’s so much easier!

Mindset coaching

Yes, I’m a mindset coach, but I’m human and I also get in my own head. I question myself and doubt myself. It’s fucking normal and there’s no shame in that. Having a mindset coach has helped me see when I’m spiraling and stop questioning myself. It’s been game-changing.

Don’t get me wrong, there are tools you can learn to get better about getting out of your own way, but having someone help you do it is so freaking powerful. Having a coach who can talk you through these conversations gives you the support to move forward with confidence.

My go-to coach for mindset is Taylor Lee. I was in her mastermind and then upgraded to one-on-one coaching. She’s just fucking incredible. Anytime I’m questioning my pricing or my value, she always helps me get out of my own way.

Strategy

Jenni Maroney is a client of mine and she is a strategy queen. When it comes to business strategy, marketing, and streamlined processes to get your work into the hands of the right people and make a lot of money, her strategies are where it’s at.

She recently decided to start teaching her strategy for hosting profitable retreats, and I was all in. Her retreat was in April and she taught the step-by-step process and strategy for how to host a retreat that is crazy profitable.

‌

When you look at my last 12 months in business and where I’ve invested, it’s been strategically learning something I didn’t know how to do. This combo over the last year has been where I feel really good investing in my growth.

If you have any questions about how to decide where you want to invest next in your business or how to even know where you need support, send me a DM, and let’s chat. I’m here to support you 100%!
