Are you in...
THE PRE-LAUNCH STAGE?
“I crave the idea of my own business, but where do I even begin?”
There’s a lot of conflicting and just plain bad advice out there from so-called “biz coaches” who don’t really understand business. You need to get your foundations under you, kick the worry (or doubt, or fears, or negative self-talk, or Impostor Syndrome), and SIMPLIFY this whole entrepreneurship game. I got you.
THE MESSY MIDDLE?
“I’ve already started my biz…but where’s the money and freedom I was promised?”
You’re running in 20 directions (none of which are “forward”) and wondering how you can possibly make more money when you can barely keep up with making hardly any. You may even be considering going back to a “real job”. Please don’t do that. Let me provide you with a better roadmap instead.
THE HAMSTER WHEEL?
“My biz IS making money. In fact, things look great on paper. But behind-the-scenes…”
Is this nagging sense of “wtf am I even doing because I have no idea”. You’re burning out, struggling to keep your head above water, but unsure what to do (or what you want), so you just keep showing up, doing what’s in front of you and wondering where it’s all heading. And I? I’m about to be your new biz bestie.
Why hello there gorgeous, I’m Tara Wagner.
I’m the Breakthrough Coach and Accredited Small Business Consultant® for solopreneurs and micro-businesses ready to crush their goals, NOT their soul.
As a small business owner myself since 2000, a mindset and Belief Breakthrough coach since 2010, an experienced business coach and fully trained Accredited Small Business Consultant®…
I have been teaching small business owners since 2017 how to breakthrough bottlenecks and apply simple, practical, and proven business strategies to help them create more freedom and zero burnout.
Whether you’re already burning out, or struggling with Impostor Syndrome keeping you small, or doing all the things but aren’t sure why they aren’t working…let me assure you:
You CAN do this. You ARE cut out for this. It CAN get better. You just need a roadmap…from someone who gets it.
And I get it.
I started my own entrepreneurial journey at the ripe old age of not-quite-19, with a 1 year old in tow, and with all the cards stacked against me.
As a high school drop-out, recently out of an abusive relationship, with a history of drug abuse and on welfare, I literally had NO idea what I was doing.
I remember being so nervous to call about my first business license, just sure they’d spot me as an imposter, that I spent 20 minutes practicing how my mom sounded when she had to call the bank.
But there was no other choice in my mind. I needed to pay the bills (and get off food stamps), and I knew I’d never be happy if my freedom was dictated by someone else’s goals.
So I got my hustle on, and I did okay for a few years.
But I had no idea that to really grow a business meant investing massively in growing yourself.
👉 Your beliefs about yourself, what was acceptable, what was safe…
👉 Your skills in every area of business (because being good at what you do is NOT the same as being good at biz)…
👉 And all those softer skills I was artfully ignoring — like self-care, communication, decision-making, prioritization, boundaries, and on and on.
Finally, I hit my breaking point…
I remember sitting with Justin (my hubby) on our bed one night, about 8 years into my first business, crying that I just couldn’t do it anymore.
I didn’t think I was “good enough”. I couldn’t handle the grind for one more day, pretending to have it all together, worrying where the next deposit would come from, or whether it would come in time. “I’m just not cut out for this.”
The mom guilt.
The “competition”.
The game of comparisons.
The never-ending To Do list.
The 16 hour days where nothing seemed to moved forward.
The self-doubt spin cycle.
My own health issues piling up from the burnout.
(Conditions I’m still healing from today!)
Where was this F-ing freedom I had been promised?
It’s absolutely true that you can do “all the right things” and still struggle like hell in biz and in life.
And throwing money at it doesn’t fix it.
You can hire the best copywriters, ad managers, photographers, designers, employees, assistants, and strategists…
But if you don’t invest in growing yourself as a biz owner, you will never grow your business, because…
To be successful, you get to learn the skills, habits, and mindsets that successful entrepreneurs embody in their business AND lives, to stop both from falling apart.
crush your goals, not your soul.
Which brings me back to why you're probably here…
I understand the feeling of spinning all the plates and juggling all the hats you’re supposed to be wearing.
I know what it’s like to love your kids, but feel like your business is your baby too. (And it needs more attention if any of them want a birthday party this year).
I know the resistance towards that next level, because of what it might mean to your marriage or your health.
(More success = more stress…right?)
I’ve been there…
(And I’m still living with the chronic illness that creates.)
I also know what it’s like to be bombarded with all the quotes telling you to “Trust the Process” or “Release Your Fears and Play Bigger” or “Work Smarter Not Harder”, and you just want to scream “BUT HOW?!”
Oh hun, I know.
And I want YOU to know a few things too:
- You’re not alone or crazy for feeling this way.
- There IS a path through it.
- Contrary to your own “BS” (aka belief systems), you CAN do it.
- But no one – NO ONE – does it alone.
Which is why I’d love to be the biz bestie that shows you how you can #crushyourgoalsnotyoursoul.
In fact, here's where to start....
You need a healthier, clearer path to success?
