Holistic practitioners, coaches, therapists, and wellness professionals, we see you! The initial years of shifting from a solo practitioner to having a CEO mindset can be fraught with so many demands. Physically, certainly, but also with intense emotional and spiritual investment. You’ve finally found the thing you love to do–but turning that practice into a thriving business with consistent revenue, clientele, and balance is a completely different ballgame!
Many coaches and practitioners who have been in business for 3+ years find themselves juggling client loads, navigating administrative tasks, and facing the emotional toll of empathic engagement–all while struggling to balance the books.
Time and energy to focus on marketing, client attraction, creating systems, or creative projects is practically non-existent, which leaves them even more frustrated and depleted.
Let’s stop that cycle in its tracks!
Here are four mindset shifts you can choose to make—right now!
Mindset Shift #1: Make the transition from practitioner to business owner.
Do you see yourself as a knowledgeable, confident, and empowered visionary CEO? Do you make decisions (all of them!) with your six-month, twelve-month, and 5-year goals in mind? Do you bring in clients and hire team members that are aligned with your values? Do you communicate those values through your words and actions? Are you clear about your boundaries, standards, and the value of your services and uphold those in your client relationships?
You’ve mastered your modality, sure, but you may be beginning to see that mastery alone isn’t enough for the next stage of your professional journey.
It’s tough to deal with holding every role when it comes to being the CEO of your business! And those feelings of exhaustion, frustration, and defeat are so very human.
Here’s the thing:
Business leaders experiencing true alignment and enjoyment know how to prioritize and manage their time and energy.
It’s one of the biggest challenges every leader faces. And it comes down to those little choices we make throughout the day, every day.
Mindset Shift #2: Be honest about your roadblocks to growth.
Business owners in every industry face becoming a “lone wolf” – over-relying on your own point of view, pushing through difficult times and decisions alone, and stagnating.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with independence. Hyper-independence is a different story!
The point is that working with peers in a vulnerable yet safe and challenging setting offers a place to get real about your roadblocks.
When this conversation happens in a structured group coaching program, results are even more apparent, especially when led by someone who has been there and knows what to look out for while she supplies sound business coaching.
When led well, these groups foster accountability, encourage shared learning, and provide diverse perspectives. Collaborating with peers holds you accountable to your promises and pushes you to take more challenging and fruitful actions.
It’s possible, too, that your roadblocks are hidden from your view in a blind spot. You wouldn’t be the first! Having a trusted mentor or business coach who can help you identify and address those blind spots is an absolute game-changer. (Interested in learning more?

Mindset Shift #3: Learn how letting go of the past makes room for you to embrace new opportunities.
We know. “Letting go of the past” is far easier said than done! This process of identifying and changing limiting behavior patterns and thoughts informed from past experiences can often take years through traditional therapy or coaching models. You become aware of how something affects your current behavior or patterns, you talk through it, and you try to do better next time.
The issue: That’s not transformation.
In a holistic breakthrough business coach approach, that process is accelerated tenfold. You can’t help but operate from an entirely new reality–a completely fresh way of seeing yourself, your practice, and your business.
Your decisions flow directly from that new, open, bright, and beautiful space of abundance and joy! You create and implement strategies and structures to build a sustainable and profitable – freedom giving business!

Mindset Shift #4: Reignite your “Passion” to fuel your personal fulfillment and business growth!
The essence of what drove you to start your practice is rooted in passion. But what is passion? It’s the compelling energy that motivates you to help others and create a positive impact through your unique skills.
It’s also an energy that can become quickly stifled in periods of overwhelm and worry.
As you evolve into a business owner, it’s far too easy to allow this passion to be overcome by shoulds, have-tos, and obligations. It’s also dimmed by the frustration of limited impact and inconsistent revenue in the absence of an effective growth strategy or sustainable business structure. However, when your goals and strategies are aligned with your passions, your decisions and actions line up, too.
If defining passion for you and your business doesn’t roll off your tongue easily, there’s likely something in your way or something missing. A breakthrough business coach helps you rediscover and realign your passion, ensuring it fuels both your personal fulfillment and your business growth!
