When you’re faced with money challenges in your biz, likely the last thing you want to hear is “you need to spend money to hire a coach or buy a product or a program.”

But sometimes, if you really want to move forward and bust through your money blocks for good, that’s what you have to do.

While it’s possible to do a lot work by yourself, you may find you hit a plateau you aren’t able to bust through on your own or you never really “fix” the problem, but instead you’re just putting a Band-Aid on it.

So, if you’ve hit a rough patch and you’re not sure what to do to get out of it, here are a few suggestions:

It could be you don’t have your outer game strategies (like the right marketing strategy) in place, so you may definitely want to look at that — you can poke around the resources here on the blog or maybe hire a consultant to take a look.

But if this is a pattern (i.e. you make a bunch of money and then you suddenly lose it, or you only make X amount in your biz and can never get past that amount no matter what outer game strategies you do) then there’s probably some sort of mindset obstacle or block lurking in your subconscious.

You may feel more comfortable starting with some tools to just see what you can accomplish on your own. Here’s a list to get you started — “The Top 7 Tools to Bust thru Your Mindset Blocks and Celebrate a Successful, Profitable Biz.”

BUT if you find you’re still sort of spinning around, not gaining any traction or maybe not even able to get started, or maybe you DO start bringing in more money but you hit a plateau again, or you get a temporary boost, only for everything to go back to the way it was — then hiring a coach may be the right next move.

But which coach? That’s an excellent question — there are many great coaches who specialize on money and mindset out there, so the decision becomes more about personal preference. Do you feel like they would “get” you? That you resonate with what they’re teaching and their philosophy?

That’s not always easy to suss out on a website, so that’s why I decided to put this list together of all the mindset coaches I’ve had on as a guest on PW Unplugged Radio. This way you can listen to their interview with no pressure and get a good sense on who you feel may be right for you.

(Note — since I have LOTS more great mindset coaches on tap for me to interview, I’ll be updating this list periodically. I want to make it easy for you to find the right resource for you. Also if you think you’re looking for more a biz coach look for that list next week.)

Kate Beeders, Success Coach

Therese Skelly, Happy in Business

Christine Arylo, Queen of Self Love & Inspirational Catalyst

Tanya Paulso, Tribal Truth

And if you reach out to any of these great coaches, make sure you let them know you heard about them from me.
