Mastering Your 9to5 While Building Your Coaching Business

Does showing up for your full-time 9to5 job while building your coaching business feel like juggling two full-time roles? 

If it does (and don't worry, you're not the only one), there's a few key mindset shifts and practical tips that will help you thrive in both worlds. Because you deserve to enjoy both your job and the business you’re so passionate about.

1. Shift Your Mindset to Embrace Both Worlds

Working a corporate job while growing your business as a life coach doesn’t mean one has to drain the other.

You are allowed to thrive in your 9to5 while recognising that it fuels your business.

When you
stop looking at your job as a problem in your business and start seeing it as a resource, it frees up so much time, capacity and mental energy for you.

 

2. Create Your Exit Plan with Confidence

Having an exit plan when building a business while working a 9-to-5 is crucial. When you know how and when you’ll transition out of the 9to5, you'll have much more clarity and confidence.

There are 5 Key Drivers that create your Exit Plan to support this transition all of which are covered inside the Exit Plan Program here:

So don’t rush the process.

3. Master the Art of Showing Up Powerfully in your 9to5 and Coaching Business

 This echoes the first part: how you show up in your 9-to-5 impacts how you show up in your business.

If you’re drained by your job, you’ll have little energy left for your coaching business. The only way to overcome this is to:

  • Regulate your nervous system

  • Manage your time effectively

  • Stay committed to your bigger vision 

4. Join the Exit Plan Program and Bring a Friend for Free

One of the best parts about growing your coaching business is having a support system: people who understand the challenges and celebrate the wins with you. That’s why I’m offering something special with the Exit Plan Program: When you join, you can bring your coach bestie along for free.

Imagine both of you thriving in your 9-to-5 while building your coaching businesses side by side. You’ll both have access to the tools, mindset shifts, and support needed to balance both roles without burning out. It’s not just about surviving anymore—it’s about thriving together.

Here’s what you’ll get in the program:

  • A clear exit plan to transition from your 9to5 to full-time coaching with confidence.

  • Mindset coaching to help you thrive in both your job and your business.

  • Access to live coaching sessions with me, so you get the personalised support you need.

  • And of course, your bestie gets to join for free

3. Emotional Resilience: You Can’t Ignore This

Most coaches quit their job thinking they’ll finally feel free…


But instead, they spiral the moment results don’t come fast enough.

Why?

Because their nervous system can’t hold the uncertainty.


They’ve never had to self-lead through the slow seasons.


They’re still attached to external validation to feel successful.

The Exit Plan trains you to build emotional strength before you leave—so you’re not shaken by every dip in income, comment, or client delay.
