If You Still Call Yourself “Just a Coach,” You’re Leading From the Wrong Seat
Jul 07, 2025
You are not “just” anything.
You are the visionary. The strategist. The frequency holder.
And yet… so many of us build entire businesses without ever sitting in the CEO seat we secretly know belongs to us.
Let’s be honest.
It’s safer to say, “I’m a coach.”
It’s safer to focus on our sessions, our clients, our craft.
But eventually, the safety becomes a ceiling.
Because the moment you outgrow your business—but keep showing up as if nothing’s changed—that’s when things begin to unravel.
That’s when the offers stop landing.
That’s when the marketing feels hollow.
That’s when you wonder if maybe it’s you.
(It’s not.)
The Invisible Trap of the Over-Helper
Most spiritual entrepreneurs and service providers I meet are brilliant at what they do.
They hold space. They get results.
They genuinely care about the people they serve.
But when it comes to building a business—
A real, thriving, legacy-driven business—
They’re still stuck in helper mode.
They lead with their modality, not their mastery.
They focus on their calendar, not their capacity.
They speak about what they do, instead of who they are.
And they get lost in tasks instead of rising into choice.
Here’s what that sounds like:
- “I just want to do what I love and let the rest sort itself out.”
- “I don’t like the business side.”
- “I’m not good at marketing.”
- “I hate selling.”
None of these are flaws.
They’re simply signs that you’re not in the right seat.
You’re sitting in the technician’s chair, when your soul has been quietly nudging you toward the helm.
Belief Reframe: You Are Already the CEO—You Just Haven’t Claimed It
Let’s challenge a popular narrative:
That you need to scale, hire a team, or build a massive empire to call yourself a CEO.
Here’s the truth:
Being the CEO has nothing to do with the size of your business.
And everything to do with how you hold it.
Being the CEO is an energetic posture.
It’s a frequency of responsibility—not over-responsibility.
It’s vision with structure.
It’s sovereignty with strategy.
When you don’t step into your CEO role, here’s what tends to happen:
- You overgive in your offers without adjusting your pricing or delivery systems.
- You avoid planning because it feels rigid—so you stay reactive instead of creative.
- You say yes to opportunities out of obligation, not alignment.
- You resist delegation because you haven’t mapped your business into roles and systems.
You’re not bad at business.
You’re just building from the inside out—but using an outside-in model.
And that’s the fracture point.
The subtle dissonance between your actual capacity… and the identity you’re still clinging to.
Sacred CEO Energy: What It Really Means
Being the Sacred CEO is different than simply running a business.
It means you don’t separate the soul from the strategy.
It means your business becomes a reflection of your wholeness—not your hustle.
This version of leadership isn’t louder. It’s deeper.
It’s the choice to listen to your business as a living field, not a list of tasks.
It’s the courage to say, “This offer no longer fits who I am,” and rebuild from resonance.
Here’s what it looks like:
- You set your business model from your nervous system, not the industry norm.
- You know your numbers—and still trust your intuition.
- You design roles, offers, and messaging that match the version of you that’s emerging, not the one who launched three years ago.
- You make decisions from a place of creative structure—not fear-based pressure.
This is sacred structure.
This is the business of the next paradigm.
This is what legacy requires.
Journal Prompt: Where Are You Still in the Weeds?
Here are a few questions to help you identify where your CEO energy is asking to rise:
- Where am I still operating as the employee in my own business?
- Where do I feel stuck in deliverables instead of design?
- If I fully owned my role as the visionary and strategist, what decisions would I make today?
- What would I release? What would I raise?
- What am I trying to avoid by staying in “coach mode” instead of CEO mode?
- Am I afraid of being seen? Of making mistakes? Of letting go of control?
- Where do I know I need to build structure—but keep waiting for clarity?
- What would happen if I chose before I was fully ready?
These reflections aren’t about self-judgment.
They’re about self-honesty.
The kind that opens doors. That reveals truth. That invites the next level of alignment.
A Story from My Own Becoming
When I ran eight Curves franchises, I was a powerhouse of action.
Fifty staff. Multimillion-dollar revenue.
And I was in full-out hustle.
That version of me didn’t understand frequency.
I knew results.
I knew how to motivate, sell, deliver.
But I didn’t know how to rest. I didn’t know how to receive.
What I did learn—what truly changed everything—was the value of a framework.
At Curves, I saw that no matter how emotionally charged or uncertain a situation was, a clear, simple framework could create clarity, confidence, and results.
That’s where the seed of the Profit Formula was planted.
Years later, when I stepped into coaching and consulting, I didn’t lead from the Curves version of me.
I led from the part of me that had already seen what happens when you build a business without embodiment.
And in the last two years, something else emerged.
I began to understand frequency.
I began to understand that strategy without alignment collapses.
That offers without energetic integrity won’t hold.
That marketing without congruence feels like noise.
I began to lead from wholeness.
And everything changed.
This Is Not About a Title—It’s About a Frequency
Being the CEO isn’t about being in charge.
It’s about being in alignment.
It’s about knowing that your role is to:
- Channel clarity
- Design structure
- Hold vision
- And make decisions that honor your soul and your strategy
You don’t have to become a different person.
You simply need to return to the part of you that already knows how to lead.
The part that’s been waiting quietly
Until you were ready to choose her.
