Business & Money Coach

She asked me, "So what do you need help with?" I opened my mouth and nothing came out. We were at a coffee shop. She owned a marketing agency (content creation and social media management), and we were trading services. I was giving her private coaching sessions and she was doing my social media. I'd just told her I was overwhelmed and burnt out, so it was a fair question. I looked at her like a deer in headlights. "I don't know." There were too many things on my list... Every single one felt...

Jillian Minter Business & Money Coach Hey Reader, Every woman I coach wants more money coming into her business. And almost every one of them gets in her own way with the same few mistakes. Here's one I see all the time. Oh and the craziest part… I'd bet money you don't even know you're doing it. If you want to stop spinning and start growing, you need to STOP... Chasing the shiny object. You know how it goes. Your ads aren't working, so you try a different strategy. And that hasn't moved the...

My broker basically sells every business she lists. Every one, Reader. She's good. She was doing everything. And yet somehow, she couldn't sell mine. I tried everything too. I listed it with the expert. I personally reached out to anyone I thought might be interested, and anyone who might know anyone who might be interested. My broker posted it in all the usual places. She even got creative and posted it in a Facebook group with potential buyers. I also went to people individually who I...

Hey Reader, I don't think I've ever admitted this to anyone. There are days I hate being a money coach. Not the work. I love the work. I mean the heaviness that comes with it. When Everyone Loved What I Did When I was a yoga and Pilates person, everyone loved me. Everyone wanted to talk to me about their injuries. Everyone wanted my advice. People thought it was so cool. I helped injured people. I taught senior yoga. I ran a kids yoga camp. It wasn't controversial at all. It didn't matter who...

Jillian Minter Business & Money Coach Hey Reader, Let's talk about the belief that's been haunting your bank account. 👻 You know the one. It's the little voice that says I can't charge that. Or that's just not for people like me. Or I'll raise my prices after I get more proof... It's been following you around for years, and it's probably the reason your income keeps landing in the same spot no matter how hard you work. I also know it's decision season for entrepreneurs. AKA time to plan for...

I got home from two weeks in Europe, and less than 48 hours later, I was on the phone turning someone down. A friend of mine is putting something together. Months ago, when she first told me about it, I said yes. I wanted to go. I meant it at the time. I really did. Then I actually looked at my life. My mom is in hospice, and I've been flying back and forth to see her all year. I had multiple trips in August. A big one in September. I just got back from two weeks in Europe. And I'm only home...

"No one ever comes to Seattle." That's what my client Tamara told herself while she scrolled the city list on a Lululemon summer series ad. Brand activations always seemed to land in California or Arizona. But Seattle was on the list. Her next thought: they've probably already hired someone. She declared it out loud anyway. "I want to work with Lululemon." That same day (I kid you not, same day) a vendor friend texted her. No details. Just: "Are you available for this day? I have a client who...

I canceled my storage unit contract and signed a brand new one. For the unit next door…. Literally, I moved from unit 2096 to 2097. Let me provide you some backstory: Storage units in Washington are a racket. They charge month to month, and then the price goes up like every three months or so, until you're so fed up you have to move. There is one person renting a unit at my storage place for $2,200 a month. This means if you don’t want to spend a bunch (which I realize is a very untechnical,...

I am reporting to you live from….. home! Which literally never happens these days. I just got back from almost two weeks in Budapest and Dubrovnik, and I'm home in Seattle for 28 days straight, which I haven't had in six whole months!!! Here’s a quick recap on my trip: in Budapest we went to a wine festival inside an actual castle, which is a sentence I still can't believe I get to say about my own life. (I did a whole carousel about this if you want the visual: [See the carousel →]) Budapest...

A client of mine signed up for an online Abraham Hicks workshop after hearing me talk about it. She was excited. She even submitted a question ahead of time, hoping to get called on live. She didn't get picked. Which happens — they get thousands of questions, and not everyone can get an answer in real time. No big deal. After it wrapped, she told me she didn't get picked. I was bummed for her. So I asked her the obvious thing: well, did you get what you needed anyway? She said no. Then I...
