How One Coach Transformed Her Business by Embracing a Simple Tool
There was a time when one coach believed real connection only happened in person. She swore by notebooks, sticky notes, and an old spreadsheet that hadn’t seen the light of day in months. Technology felt foreign—maybe even unnecessary. But when the dry spell came and her client list stalled, she did something unexpected: she Googled her way into a new chapter.
This story isn’t just about email marketing. It’s about unlocking the kind of growth that only happens when you’re open to new ways of working.
Lessons for Business Owners and Experts
- Systems Matter—Even Simple Ones
The coach didn’t overhaul her entire business. She started small: one email platform, one funnel, one offer. Systems don’t have to be complex—they just need to work. - Leverage Beats Hustle
For weeks, she was grinding without results. But one well-timed email outperformed all her in-person efforts. That’s leverage: doing something once that keeps working for you. - Being “Non-Techy” Isn’t a Business Strategy
Avoiding digital tools because they feel unfamiliar can cost you. In today’s world, “not being techy” isn’t an excuse—it’s a skill gap that can be bridged. - Curiosity Leads to Change
A passing question shifted her direction. Staying curious, even when uncomfortable, can lead to growth moments you never saw coming. - You Don’t Have to Do It All Alone
Whether it’s a friend’s nudge or a tool like Mailchimp, help is out there. You just have to be willing to reach for it.
What to Embrace and What to Let Go
Let go of the belief that “real” business only happens face-to-face. That view limits reach, growth, and opportunity. Embrace experimentation. Be willing to try, to fumble, and to figure it out as you go. Fear of complexity keeps too many experts stuck. But progress starts when you choose possibility over perfection.
