Okay, coachie love. You’ve completed that oh-so-awesome sample session, so what next? STOP. And before you do anything, get your mind in the right space. Your business is like your flower garden: if you want it to grow, you must consistently nurture it. When you first plant seeds in a garden, you must do some foundational things, like make sure you’ve got the right soil, the proper light, and the right spacing between plant.
