If you’ve ever wondered what a spiritual business coach REALLY does for soulful entrepreneurs, you’re gonna love this article. There’s so much noise on the market about what business mentors and coaches do, so I thought it’s best to clear up the confusion. In this article, I’m going to show you 4 specific examples of what business coaching can bring to your soul-led business, so that you can feel more confident about deciding if you need external support or not.
But first things first, let me show to how to choose reliable sources of information if your soulful venture needs support.
WHAT KIND OF SPIRITUAL BUSINESS RESOURCES CAN YOU TRUST?
As I mentioned, the spiritual industry exploded in recent years which also means that unfortunately a ton of “experts” are now trying to exploit the spiritual community. Marketing gurus, business experts and coaches with limited (or sometimes zero!) real-life experience trying to teach spiritual beings how to run and grow a soulful business.
I lost count of how many of these “expert” messages and emails I received over the years. My favourite one was a 19-year-old guy (who just started uni) telling me that he would teach me how to market my spiritual business. Sadly for him, he forgot to take a look at my background to see that I was a Sales & Marketing Director and a CEO before I launched Connect One Marketing to support the spiritual community with business and marketing tips. So this story takes us to the top 2 checks:
1️⃣ Do they have relevant work experience?
While you can learn the theory from courses and university programs, nothing beats real-life experience. Especially when a business coach is here to guide others, they must have relevant work experience to be able to understand your roadblocks and show you innovative ways to elevate your spiritual business.
1️⃣ Do they understand spiritual development?
The biggest frustration I’ve seen over the years is the misunderstanding that happens between spiritual entrepreneurs and business or marketing coaches. Because if a coach or mentor doesn’t understand the ups & downs of a spiritual journey, it’ll be very difficult for them to show you aligned directions. They simply won’t get you. So make sure you look for experts who are also actively working on their own spiritual development.
Use these two vital checks to decide how much you can trust the expertise before you invest any of your time and money into business support.
And now, as I promised, let me show you 4 specific examples of how a spiritual business coach can help you elevate your soulful business.
Branding with Soul
Branding with soul isn’t about jumping on the latest trends or fitting into a template. It’s all about crafting a brand that feels 100% natural and authentic to you. It demonstrates your values, your beliefs and most importantly your energy. It’s like a second skin.
Your brand needs to empower and never manipulate. Its core job is to draw your audience in like friends gathering around a bonfire. A spiritual business coach can help you bring your authenticity into every tiny part of your brand, making it a reflection of your genuine self. Imagine your spiritual business as a cozy corner of the internet where your tribe feels like they’ve stumbled upon a digital soul mate.
➡️ If you need this kind of support, then look for a spiritual business coach who has extensive, high-level marketing and branding experience. Ideally, you want someone who built entire branding concepts before or worked in those types of roles.
Co-creating a strategy
I know that the word ‘strategy’ can set you into panic mode immediately but let me bust a myth here real quick. Strategy can be FUN and PLAYFUL. It doesn’t need to be dry, complex or boring. Think of it like your vision board with a user manual that makes your business journey one heck of a soulful performance.😊
Co-creating a strategy is not about a rigid action plan. It’s more like orchestrating a jam session where every note has a purpose. Where every beat moves you forward. It’s the dynamic dance between intuition and strategy. With the help of a spiritual business coach, you can you find that rhythm. Remember, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution! Because your strategy has to align with you on a soul level.
➡️ If you need this kind of support, find a coach or mentor who LOVES seeing the big picture. When co-creating a strategy is what you need the most help with, avoid any coaches who get caught up in the small details. You need a partner who can push you towards your vision while helping you break down your steps to achieve your vision.
Alchemize the failure
Being a spiritual entrepreneur means that you’ll definitely face some setbacks. Yes, they suck but they’re perfectly normal. And when you have a coach or mentor by your side, you can learn how to turn failure into soulful stepping stones to GROW your spiritual business. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about sugarcoating the 💩 but rather distilling the lessons they carry. There isn’t much personal growth in success while failure will show you a ton of opportunities. A spiritual business coach can guide you in this alchemical process so that you can recognize what the experience was teaching you within the business realm.
Remember, your entrepreneurial journey is a series of evolving, transformative chapters rather than a linear growth towards success. The ups and downs are part of the game just like you needed many Dark Nights of the Soul to truly get your lessons.
➡️ If you need this kind of support, choose someone who also works with mindset shifting. Business success heavily relies on your own mindset as a spiritual entrepreneur so most coaches would naturally include mindset tools within their coaching program. But make this need clear to them during your discovery call when you’re getting to know each other.
New aligned direction
Sometimes we all need a bit of recalibration to find our aligned North. And as an entrepreneur, it’s likely that you’ll experience this more than once. Because your business is the extension of your own energy, as you’re evolving, so will your business. You can’t stagnate on the market. You can always find new ways to expand and scale your soulful venture when you feel like you’ve outgrown your initial vision.
Discovering a new aligned direction in your business is not about just jumping on any path but about co-creating a trajectory that aligns with your soulful vision. Imagine your business as a compass, and a spiritual business coach as the guide helping you recalibrate it to a new, aligned North.
➡️ If you need this kind of support, look for a coach who has experience in scaling and business development. You want to work with someone who can deeply understand what it means to explore new markets or develop new services.
You need to vibe with a spiritual business coach
Just before I wrap up this guide, let me remind you that your business isn’t just a venture; it’s a reflection of your authentic self. And because of that, if you ever decide to work with a spiritual business coach, make sure you pick someone that you genuinely click with.
Your business isn’t just a brand; it’s a living, breathing reflection of your journey, and it deserves to shine authentically and brightly in the entrepreneurial realm as well. So choose the type of business support that will fully allow you to shine in your own ways.
