Success For Whole Ass Humans Shari Balouchi

I’m coming on here today to share with you that we are pausing the podcast for a little while.

In today’s short update episode I’m sharing with you:


The intention behind the podcast pause (personal and business-wise)
A peek into how I think through what gets cut when I have to create space in my life
My plan for resuming & some fun releases to look forward to when we come back!

I so appreciate you being a listener, joining me for this journey, and allowing me the space to be a whole ass human who gets to prioritize their wellbeing, too.

In the meantime, please enjoy any of the 22 episodes that are currently available (if you haven’t already) or come find me on Instagram @sharibalouchi where I’ll continue sharing resources and insights for prioritizing your wellbeing as a business owner. Don’t be shy and feel free to send me a DM to say “hi!”.

Negative experiences or “bad” investments are common in business, but I believe much of it is preventable. And while I'm hopeful that the culture shift in the coaching industry will lead to better client satisfaction, it's crucial to equip ourselves with tools to navigate the current landscape so you can avoid harmful experiences and make discerning choices when hiring.

That’s why today we’re exploring rebuilding self-trust and finding the right fit after a negative experience. In true Shari fashion, I’ve synthesized my perspective into a 5-step process you can use if you’re ready to seek support after a disappointing investment.

In this episode, I’m walking you through:


A framework to assess past experiences, uncover valuable insights, and make grounded decisions for your next hire
My personal experiences, both positive and negative, in hiring business coaches and mentors
Specific interview questions to ask your next coach or mentor
How to spot red flags and green flags during the interview stages
When to get outside perspective in your decision-making process and what to do if you don’t have a strong support system available to process with
Overcoming decision paralysis and how to move forward when you’re torn between choosing the right program or coach

Whether you are looking for your next mastermind to join or 1:1 coach to support you as your expand, I hope this episode gives you some helpful tools to navigate your “interview” process so you can benefit from being fully, deeply supported in your business journey.

I would love to hear your thoughts on today’s episode - send me a DM on Instagram with your perspective (it’s actually me in there who will be responding!). I love hearing from you!

Struggling to turn followers into paying clients? Then today’s episode is for you! I dug wayyy back into the archives to grab this training from my marketing strategy & consulting days so I could walk you through a simple yet incredibly effective 3-step framework to make your audience feel seen, supported, and confident in hiring you.

We’re diving into:


Why addressing objections is an important part of creating sales through your marketing and content
How to listen to your audience and actually identify their potential objections so you can create content that truly resonates with them (and so you can increase bookings and attract the right people into your programs)
Practical tools to help you craft content that directly addresses your audience’s concerns, helps you build trust, and reduces conversion time
Why I recommend focusing on creating *sustainable* sales in your business (and how this connects to emotional and financial safety in business)

After 8+ years of working on launches across so many industries, I’ve learned the POWER of anticipating your people’s needs before they’ve ever vocalized them, and I’m a pro at helping my clients respond to their audience in a way that works for THEM so they can get fully booked.

If you’re wanting to get people off the fence and onto your calendar using a simple, human-centered marketing approach, then hit play!

Today’s episode is a little different, and I’m sharing an update on what’s been going on in my personal life during this tough season, how it’s impacting the way I’m running my business, and a few key lessons, insights, and takeaways I have for you from being on-the-ground and still very much in-process during this challenging time.

I hope this normalizes the hard periods of life and inspires you with a few coping mechanisms to add to your own personal wellbeing toolkit as you navigate your own tough seasons!

Today’s case study looks at the less glamorous, messy middle of a business growth journey.

This client’s goal was to book out their 1:1 services, and that didn’t happen by the end of our time working together. And I want to break this down for you to provide perspective on what transformation in business actually looks like and to normalize the journey and unravel the myth of overnight success.

I’m taking you behind-the-scenes to talk about:


How I felt as the coach and how my client felt about them not hitting their goal during our time together
The ways I used strategy & wellbeing as lenses for pinpointing what this client really NEEDED to get ready for what they wanted to create
One way I structure my program to integrate learning and growth to help combat the “on to the next” pattern that high-achieving brains love to default into
The really common but sneaky mental fears that drain business owners who want to grow and expand
The difference between knowing what your problem is to solve and actually solving it
How I think about supporting my clients through resistance (and takeaways for my fellow coaches & service providers for how to support your clients effectively)

Most of the industry showcases the “before” and the “after” but I want to show you the “messy” middle and murky in-between stages of transformation to normalize what growth, expansion, and the business growth journey looks like for many entrepreneurs.

I hope this deeply serves you no matter what goal you’re currently working towards and gives you a new perspective to support you in reaching YOUR version of success long-term.

And if you’d like to get my expert perspective on YOUR specific business, I’d love to support you. I’m offering a limited number of FREE 45-minute coaching sessions.

Ever have this big goal or deep desire within you but find yourself unable to take action or move the needle to make it happen for yourself?

Are you lazy? A procrastinator at heart? Is there a part of you that deep down doesn’t actually *want* this thing after all?⁣

In today’s episode, I’m sharing one of my most popular past livestreams on Instagram where we explore why executing in business can feel really hard (even when it’s something you really want) and how to get through it.

We’ll cover:


Why you’re probably not actually “lazy” or a “procrastinator” and why you’re probably stuck in inaction
Perspective shifts to help you reclaim your motivation so you can get shit done
Practical tips and strategies to help you make your goals more manageable so you can overcome inaction
How to create momentum and rebuild trust with yourself around saying you’ll get stuff done

⁣It’s time to stop bargaining with yourself that you’ll get stuff done by X date. And then feel really shitty about yourself when none of that translates into actually making things happen. ⁣

⁣

I hope you walk away from this episode with some practical and mindset tools you can use to release some pressure and start taking action from a place of lightness instead!
