Here is everything you need to know about how a life and business coach can support you:
What is a Life and Business Coach?
A life and business coach is someone who specifically has expertise in supporting entrepreneurs with helping them in all areas of their life including their business. Because your business will take up so much of your time, it’s important to find someone who understands all the subtle nuances of the psychology behind running a business while also maintaining work-life balance.
What does a Life and Business Coach do?
Your coach is someone who deeply understands the time commitment that is involved with your entrepreneurial endeavor while at the same time understanding the importance of maintaining work-life balance. They understand that if other areas of your life such as health, relationships, and general well-being fall out of place, it will directly affect the success of your business.
Therefore, not only can they help you achieve your business goals, but they will ensure that they also are in line with your personal goals.
During your sessions, your coach will:
- Help you identify what type of lifestyle you want to create that encompasses your business
- Guide you to identify specific short term and long term goals
- Support you along the process of achieving your goals
- Challenge you to face your fears or negative beliefs you may have
- Motivate you to push through any adversity or obstacles that stand in your way
- Give you structure and discipline to follow through on your action items
- Help you build more confidence and boost your self esteem
- Push you to build better habits and stop procrastinating
Do I need a Life and Business Coach?
All high level executives and achievers hire and work with professionals and experts who can guide them toward their desired success. From CEO’s to athletes, top performers understand that their success heavily relies on the people they surround themselves with.
You would greatly benefit from a coach if you are:
- Having a hard time staying organized and focused
- Finding yourself overwhelmed and stressed out
- Not doing a good job of managing your work-life balance
- Struggling to move your business forward and hit your benchmarks
- Unhappy or unsatisfied with the results you are achieving

Life and Business Coach Reviews
Joining Pace and the Heartcore community has been the BEST decision I’ve made in a very long time.Shanda and her team of dedicated coaches have supported me, pushed me to be my best, stretched me out of my comfort zone (which I totally need), and are so patient with where we all are in our journey. Shanda’s coaching style of no bs, lovingly firm, let’s get to the point, it’s all about giving back and helping others speaks my language 100%. I’m so grateful for Shanda and the powerful community she has created and grown.
I’m still in the middle of the program but here are my results so far: jump started my online business (been dreaming about this for 4 years and it’s finally happened!), have a group of people i can call my “tribe”, I’ve made new and deep friendships with high value and driven women, and I’m continuously experiencing tremendous personal and leadership development.
The program is not easy; I took a big financial commitment and risk and every challenge I’m faced, I learned to be creative and grow through it. Sure, I could’ve hired a more affordable coach but i genuinely do believe sometimes you gotta pay the big bucks price to get to the next level. I learned so much about business but what’s priceless is i learned so much about myself. Thank you Shanda for following your vision, for creating and nurturing our business.
Lisa is a fantastic mentor and also a great friend. She has helped myself and my team more than words can say. Her values, commitment and dedication to her wider team is so inspiring, she is always there for everyone of us. Thank you so much
Had a one-on-one with Jim & Stephanie tonight. I have long admired Jim’s wisdom and the work he does with people who have the drive and commitment to follow —ALL— of the steps in “The Process” that leads to he level of success you desire. By following Jim’s attitudes and systems, your friends will think you’re lucky. Luck has nothing to do it. Jim can help you succeed based on decades of business experience. Trust “The Process” and you too will succeed. Guaranteed.
I had the pleasure to work with amazing Rita on my business strategy development for 4 one-on-one sessions (+ one introduction call). You’d think that’s not much, but you’d be surprised to see how much we managed to accomplish during those few sessions!!! I seriously cannot stress enough how helpful she was to me with my business model and just setting my plans and the focus for future. I am a creative comic artist and an illustrator, and I was all over the place with my creativity not really knowing what I wanted to do, where I wanted to be in next 5 years and how to get there.. I saw my potential future through a keyhole and Rita helped me to open the door to see the full picture with all the possibilities and where I had to go to reach my goals (that we discovered also together). What I realized that that my thinking was focused “short-term”, but Rita asked the right questions to help me figure out my long-term goals which happened to be very different from my short-term goals, and my activities at that time did not support getting that far. So together we mapped it out for me: starting from defining my values in life, what other people thought my values were (which was a very interesting insight) and what I had to do about it.
Rita was always very well prepared for each session, structured and knowledgeable, full of creative ideas, always in a positive mood despite the circumstances and in general very pleasant to work with. To me it was important that I could open up to a person, be honest and admit things to myself out loud and not feel judged, and it was so easy with Rita!
I first met Lisa 2.5 years ago she was one of the moms at the school gates. Since then I have worked closely with Lisa to build a global business which has transformed mine and my families lives. I have so much to thank Lisa for. She’s one of the most driven and focused individuals I have ever come across. Her positive outlook, and upbeat attitude is infectious and her support unrivaled. She goes above and beyond to deliver training, guidance and business support. I value the friendships created in this business and the freedom and choices it’s given me. I am proud to be a member of the Northern Lights Team. Lisa’s success is down to her incredible work ethic, determination and leadership but even whilst building a global business empire she remains one of the most selfless individuals I have ever met! Truly grateful to have a business mentor and friend like Lisa!
I love Shanda’s integrity, love for others and her fight to be who she is today. It’s not an easy road to run a Mulit-Million Dollar company that she started from a simple list build. Her coaching is second to none! Yes, you can do all of this yourself, her book even tells you how to build a list. It’s the coaching skills she has that knock you in to shape to rock your own list build and create the income I was looking for! I’m grateful to have found her and love the 6am coffee time with her. Now I get to rock my business like never before! Business mindset is everything to having mulit-6 and7 figure business…you’re crazy if you think you can do business by yourself.
