You're Not Starting Over: How to Turn Your Career Experience Into a Coaching Business with Melanie Smith

Think you're too busy to become a career coach or start a coaching business?

Meet Melanie Smith.

Melanie is a mom, finishing her undergraduate degree, running a recruiting and staffing agency AND building a coaching and consulting business.

In this episode, Melanie shares how she stopped feeling scattered, got clear on how her recruiting and coaching businesses could work together, and learned how to turn her years of experience into meaningful, purpose-driven work.

We talk about:

• Why becoming a career coach doesn't mean starting over
• How to turn your existing career experience into a coaching business
• What helped Melanie go from overwhelmed and scattered to clear and focused
• How she manages two businesses using 90-day planning
• How Career Coach Certification helped her clarify her offers and messaging
• Why you don't have to wait until life "slows down" to pursue work you're called to do
• How Melanie went on to sell out her VIP Days and build more confidence in her business

One of my favorite reminders from Melanie's story is this:

You're not starting over. You're taking everything you've learned with you and turning it into purpose.

If you've been wondering whether your experience could become your next career, this episode is for you.
