Still Not Coaching? Here’s the Real Reason Why (and What to Do About It)

Are you a new coach who keeps saying things like:

👉 “I just need to finish this one course…”
👉 “I’m not ready yet.”
👉 “I need a niche first.”
👉 “I’ll launch when I feel more confident.”

You’re not alone. In fact, one of the most common things I hear from coaches who are stuck at the starting line is this:

“I want to coach—but I’m not coaching.”

If that’s you, let’s talk about why this happens, and more importantly, what to do about it.

Why You’re Not Coaching (Even Though You Want To)

Let me be clear—you’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. And you’re definitely not broken.

But you might be stuck in what I call the “Preparation Trap.”
It’s that sneaky place where you’re doing all the things that look productive… but you’re not actually coaching anyone yet.

Here’s what that might look like:

• Downloading templates
• Rewriting your elevator pitch
• Researching niches for the 87th time
• Listening to podcasts (like this one 👋)
• Perfecting your Instagram bio

All of these feel like progress—but they’re missing one critical piece: real conversations.

Clarity Comes From Coaching—Not from Overthinking

You don’t build a coaching business by reading about it.
You build it by coaching real humans.

Every hour you spend tweaking your offer is time you could be spending building confidence through real-world experience.

Confidence doesn’t come before coaching. It comes because you coach.

Even the most successful coaches didn’t feel “ready” when they started. They just took the first step—messy, imperfect, and brave.

So… What’s the First Step?

It’s not launching a website.

It’s not designing a logo.

It’s not spending 6 months creating a program no one has asked for yet.

The first step is a conversation.

Reach out to someone. Offer to help. Be of service. Listen deeply.
And let that experience inform your next one.

The Real Reason You’re Stuck (And How to Get Unstuck)

Most new coaches aren’t stuck because they lack strategy.

They’re stuck because they’re waiting for a feeling—readiness.

But readiness isn’t a milestone. It’s a myth.

No one wakes up and magically feels ready.
Instead, they choose to show up while still feeling unsure.

That’s the shift that changes everything.
