\u201cBuilding coaching skills doesn\u2019t just help you create better results with clients, it helps you create stronger relationships with everyone in your life.\u201d
\n<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m in Bali for 3 weeks working and vacationing. This is a screenshot from a video that I shot right after a snorkeling trip with a 150-year-old sea turtle. It was super tough to get a normal shot because apparently I don\u2019t make ANY normal faces when I talk. ? One of the main ways I create clients is through connecting with videos. My focus this year has been on getting more creative with my videos (hence why I\u2019m on the beach in a snorkeling mask!) and using my vision (working from anywhere) as inspiration for my work and using those experiences to directly create clients. Instead of doing a ton of work to someday get to my vision, I\u2019m challenging myself to live my vision NOW and use THAT to further build my business. I\u2019ve never been very patient ? #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

I thought this man was super inspiring. We pulled off of the road on the way home from a motorbiking trip and thought this family was amazing. My clients tell me all the time that being a mom makes it tougher to work out. I don\u2019t doubt for a second that that\u2019s true, but I love what this man is doing. When I talked to him, he shared with me that they do this all the time. At one point his son got bored and tried to get up, but dad sat him right back down! I love that dad is doing his thing, and his son is just chilling doing his. The perfect image of love and balance. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

So many coaches dream of being able to work from anywhere and the last few years I\u2019ve really been able to bring this vision to life. What is so incredible is that it was possible way sooner than I actually made it happen. Like most things in life, the only thing standing in my way was my belief system. Working through TCM at HCI helped me see where I was holding myself back. I\u2019m planning to taking this vision even higher this year as I begin traveling to San Diego and Amsterdam to create public talks. In this picture I\u2019m coaching a group of clients that i\u2019ve been working with for about 6 months and absolutely love. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

I always try my best to workout when I\u2019m away, but I never do it as much as I tell myself I will. At home, I\u2019m a barre instructor as well as a coach, so I work out a ton. It turned out to actually be better to back off for a few weeks to let my injured knee rest. My clients struggle with this as well and experiencing the challenge myself reminded me of what they\u2019re going through when they\u2019re starting on the path to a healthier lifestyle. I have a feeling if there were more \u2018gyms\u2019 like this in Indonesia and home, we would all struggle a little less with it ? #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

If there was one thing besides having awesome mentors and training that I can attribute my success to, it\u2019s this man. This photo was taken after a night hike up to the top of Mt. Batur, an active volcano in Bali. Aside from a beautiful experience and awesome workout, it represents a lot more. We\u2019ve climbed a metaphorical volcano in the dark over the last few years. Building a business is a climb and the fear of an \u2018eruption\u2019 is present at every moment. The journey challenges you and your relationships in so many ways and building coaching skills doesn\u2019t just help you create better results with clients, it helps you create stronger relationships with everyone in your life. Sibe (my husband) has been my greatest support and cheerleader through the entire thing. Don\u2019t get me wrong, we\u2019ve had our moments, but this climb really felt like a celebration of everything we\u2019ve accomplished in the past few years. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

I believe travel is SO important. Stepping outside of your physical environment gives you such powerful perspective. Not only are you out of your daily routine, you also get to step out of how you react to your physical environment. Inevitably on every trip we say \u201cI wish life could be like this all the time.\u201d I believe life and business can be exactly what we want it to be. It\u2019s all how we create it. I also believe that there are no rules: for life or business. So why can\u2019t life and business always feel this good? So I have a tradition that every time I take a trip, I reflect on what I can \u201ctake\u201d home from my trip to make life feel more like a vacation. This time, it was yoga and this long list right here. When I get home, I dive right into making the change to make the transition back into \u201cnormal\u201d life a lot more fun. The photo on the right is of a studio where I took the restorative yoga class that inspired me to take yoga more often at home. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sharing this photo for a few reasons. One is because as a coach and fitness trainer, I feel a lot of pressure to have a perfect body and a 6 pack so I\u2019ve spent a lot of years hiding under loose shirts and never posting pictures or feeling totally confident in a bikini. I realized that by continuing to feel this way \u2018behind the scenes\u2019 I\u2019m energetically sending the wrong message to my clients. I\u2019ve made the decision this year that is the last year I will ever feel this way. The power that actually making a decision has is life-changing. It\u2019s already almost evaporated as a problem. Do I know what I need to do for a 6 pack for MY body? Yeah, I do. But I\u2019m not willing to restrict myself that much. And all in all \u2013 not having a 6 pack has never ACTUALLY been in my way of enjoying life. The other reason I\u2019m sharing this photo is because this year has been filled with so much more mental space. When you\u2019re starting your coaching business, it\u2019s all you do and can think about. For a few years, I had no hobbies, or fun. This year, I\u2019ve learned to speak Dutch, I\u2019m learning Poi (what you see here) and I just made a bet with my brother-in-law that in a year, we\u2019ll go face-to-face in a guitar competition on a beach for a $500 prize. (We have a year to learn) All of this inspires my work with clients. Creating space for fun and creativity is both my passion and mission with clients: Freedom and fun IN the process. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

This is one of my favorite photos. To me it represents the evolution of my business and life. I\u2019ve transitioned from a weight loss coach to a freedom coach. For me, life is about freedom and fun. Whether it\u2019s freedom from feeling trapped in your body, freedom from your limiting beliefs, or freedom from your goals themselves, life is better when you\u2019re free. Just recently, I worked with my coach to see how my quest for my desires was actually trapping me in a stressed-out, money-hungry mindset. When I let go of my dreams and just focused on serving both my weight loss clients and business coaching clients, life opened up again. I challenge myself and my clients to unchain themselves from everything to live more freely, passionately and with more fun regardless of what their goals are. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter<\/p>\n

doesn\u2019t just help you create better results with clients, it helps you create stronger relationships with everyone in your life.\u201d\n<\/strong>\nI\u2019m in Bali for 3 weeks working and vacationing. This is a screenshot from a video that I shot right after a snorkeling trip with a 150-year-old sea turtle. It was super tough to get a normal shot because apparently I don\u2019t make ANY normal faces when I talk. ? One of the main ways I create clients is through connecting with videos. My focus this year has been on getting more creative with my videos (hence why I\u2019m on the beach in a snorkeling mask!) and using my vision (working from anywhere) as inspiration for my work and using those experiences to directly create clients. Instead of doing a ton of work to someday get to my vision, I\u2019m challenging myself to live my vision NOW and use THAT to further build my business. I\u2019ve never been very patient ? #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nI thought this man was super inspiring. We pulled off of the road on the way home from a motorbiking trip and thought this family was amazing. My clients tell me all the time that being a mom makes it tougher to work out. I don\u2019t doubt for a second that that\u2019s true, but I love what this man is doing. When I talked to him, he shared with me that they do this all the time. At one point his son got bored and tried to get up, but dad sat him right back down! I love that dad is doing his thing, and his son is just chilling doing his. The perfect image of love and balance. That\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nSo many coaches dream of being able to work from anywhere and the last few years I\u2019ve really been able to bring this vision to life. What is so incredible is that it was possible way sooner than I actually made it happen. Like most things in life, the only thing standing in my way was my belief system. Working through TCM at HCI helped me see where I was holding myself back. I\u2019m planning to taking this vision even higher this year as I begin traveling to San Diego and Amsterdam to create public talks. In this picture I\u2019m coaching a group of clients that i\u2019ve been working with for about 6 months and absolutely love. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nI always try my best to workout when I\u2019m away, but I never do it as much as I tell myself I will. At home, I\u2019m a barre instructor as well as a coach, so I work out a ton. It turned out to actually be better to back off for a few weeks to let my injured knee rest. My clients struggle with this as well and experiencing the challenge myself reminded me of what they\u2019re going through when they\u2019re starting on the path to a healthier lifestyle. I have a feeling if there were more \u2018gyms\u2019 like this in Indonesia and home, we would all struggle a little less with it ? #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nIf there was one thing besides having awesome mentors and training that I can attribute my success to, it\u2019s this man. This photo was taken after a night hike up to the top of Mt. Batur, an active volcano in Bali. Aside from a beautiful experience and awesome workout, it represents a lot more. We\u2019ve climbed a metaphorical volcano in the dark over the last few years. Building a business is a climb and the fear of an \u2018eruption\u2019 is present at every moment. The journey challenges you and your relationships in so many ways and building coaching skills doesn\u2019t just help you create better results with clients, it helps you create stronger relationships with everyone in your life. Sibe (my husband) has been my greatest support and cheerleader through the entire thing. Don\u2019t get me wrong, we\u2019ve had our moments, but this climb really felt like a celebration of everything we\u2019ve accomplished in the past few years. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nI believe travel is SO important. Stepping outside of your physical environment gives you such powerful perspective. Not only are you out of your daily routine, you also get to step out of how you react to your physical environment. Inevitably on every trip we say \u201cI wish life could be like this all the time.\u201d I believe life and business can be exactly what we want it to be. It\u2019s all how we create it. I also believe that there are no rules: for life or business. So why can\u2019t life and business always feel this good? So I have a tradition that every time I take a trip, I reflect on what I can \u201ctake\u201d home from my trip to make life feel more like a vacation. This time, it was yoga and this long list right here. When I get home, I dive right into making the change to make the transition back into \u201cnormal\u201d life a lot more fun. The photo on the right is of a studio where I took the restorative yoga class that inspired me to take yoga more often at home. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nI\u2019m sharing this photo for a few reasons. One is because as a coach and fitness trainer, I feel a lot of pressure to have a perfect body and a 6 pack so I\u2019ve spent a lot of years hiding under loose shirts and never posting pictures or feeling totally confident in a bikini. I realized that by continuing to feel this way \u2018behind the scenes\u2019 I\u2019m energetically sending the wrong message to my clients. I\u2019ve made the decision this year that is the last year I will ever feel this way. The power that actually making a decision has is life-changing. It\u2019s already almost evaporated as a problem. Do I know what I need to do for a 6 pack for MY body? Yeah, I do. But I\u2019m not willing to restrict myself that much. And all in all \u2013 not having a 6 pack has never ACTUALLY been in my way of enjoying life. The other reason I\u2019m sharing this photo is because this year has been filled with so much more mental space. When you\u2019re starting your coaching business, it\u2019s all you do and can think about. For a few years, I had no hobbies, or fun. This year, I\u2019ve learned to speak Dutch, I\u2019m learning Poi (what you see here) and I just made a bet with my brother-in-law that in a year, we\u2019ll go face-to-face in a guitar competition on a beach for a $500 prize. (We have a year to learn) All of this inspires my work with clients. Creating space for fun and creativity is both my passion and mission with clients: Freedom and fun IN the process. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nThis is one of my favorite photos. To me it represents the evolution of my business and life. I\u2019ve transitioned from a weight loss coach to a freedom coach. For me, life is about freedom and fun. Whether it\u2019s freedom from feeling trapped in your body, freedom from your limiting beliefs, or freedom from your goals themselves, life is better when you\u2019re free. Just recently, I worked with my coach to see how my quest for my desires was actually trapping me in a stressed-out, money-hungry mindset. When I let go of my dreams and just focused on serving both my weight loss clients and business coaching clients, life opened up again. I challenge myself and my clients to unchain themselves from everything to live more freely, passionately and with more fun regardless of what their goals are. #sparkthechange #DayInTheHCILife @sweatandbutter\n\nFollow us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HolisticMBA\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/healthcoachinst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HealthCoachInst\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/healthcoachinst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pinterest<\/a>!\nWanna live the freedom life of a <span id=\"urn:text-annotation-d4273c5b-4093-461f-8928-c3f93524b76f\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-other wl-link\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\">Health Coach<\/span> like Vanessa?\u00a0Call a <span id=\"urn:text-annotation-bcc6b450-f691-44d9-b216-f58b166abaea\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-other wl-link\" itemid=\"http:\/\/what-is.healthcoachinstitute.com\/hci\/enhancedcategory\/health_coach\">Health Coach<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:8779142242\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(877) 914-2242<\/a>!","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9004111223101617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9004111223101617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9004111223101617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9004111223107955,"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9004111223101617\/revisions\/9004111223107955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9004111223100463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9004111223101617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9004111223101617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.php85.healthcoachinstitute.com\/articles\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9004111223101617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
