The 3 Biggest Lies New Coaches Believe (That Keep You Stuck & Broke)

Feeling Stuck as a New Coach? These 3 Lies Might Be Why

If you're a new coach spinning in self-doubt, constantly questioning whether you’re really ready to get paid… you’re not alone. Many brilliant, caring, and talented coaches find themselves stuck not because they’re unqualified, but because they’ve unknowingly believed lies that keep them stuck and broke. Let’s call them out so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and momentum.

❌ LIE #1: “I Need Another Certification Before I Can Start”

This one feels responsible, right? Logical, even.
But let’s be honest—when is enough actually enough?

You’ve already done the trainings. You’ve already learned the tools. What you need now isn’t another course, it’s experience.

✅ Confidence comes from coaching actual people.
✅ Growth comes from doing the work, not endlessly preparing for it.
✅ Mastery is built in motion.

Certifications are wonderful, but they’re not your permission slip to begin. You are. Start now.

❌ LIE #2: “I Have to Have Everything Perfect Before I Put Myself Out There”

You might be tweaking your website, fine-tuning your Instagram bio, or endlessly editing your logo…

But the truth? Perfection is a polished form of procrastination.

Your dream clients aren’t waiting for your Canva graphics—they’re waiting for your support.

You don’t need to be polished. You need to be present.

Start messy. Start real. Just start.

❌ LIE #3: “No One Will Pay Me Yet”

This sneaky lie often hides behind hesitation to name your price, offer your services, or accept payment confidently.

You might find yourself:

• Discounting your prices mid-consult
• Coaching friends for free
• Waiting for someone to "see your value" before you believe in it yourself

Here’s the truth: People pay for transformation, not perfection.

They’re not buying your resume. They’re buying the result you help them achieve.

If you’re clear, caring, and committed to helping someone solve a real problem, they will pay you.

🔄 It’s Time for a Reframe

Let’s say it louder:

• You don’t need another certification; you need to coach.
• You don’t need everything perfect; you need to show up.
• You don’t need to wait to get paid; you’re already worthy.

These lies are not facts. They’re outdated stories rooted in fear.

You’re allowed to let them go.
