What do you want to achieve in the next year by hiring a coach?
I want to finish setting up my business offering professional writing and development consulting services to mission-driven organizations and I want to have at least replaced my previous salary.
Tell us about yourself.
I'm a woman in my mid-30s with 10+ years working in nonprofit development (fundraising) in Washington, DC and my last position was as Director of Development for an international environmental nonprofit. During the pandemic (but not related to it) I developed some chronic health conditions that made me re-evaluate what I wanted to do with my life. There are so many mission-driven organizations that either struggle with having the development capacity they need to grow or just having good written content, I decided I was going to start my own business addressing these issues. I have two clients already, but my website isn't even fully set up. These clients are on monthly retainers, but I'm feeling very limited in what I can earn if all of my revenue is tied to hours worked vs. products. I have been reading all the information I can, attending webinars, taking advantage of resources like SCORE, etc. but there are no successful entrepreneurs in my life and I need help. I need help figuring out which of my ideas sounds the most promising to someone with some expertise, I don't know how to prioritize my enormous list of to-dos to make the business successful, and I need guidance on how to lay a foundation for growth in the future.
What city/town do you live in?
