The Career Coach Mandy Podcast

A super fun video today for you, featuring a 1-hour coaching session with one of my members, Jen. Jen is a nurse and traveling hospital consultant, and also runs her own successful YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@Jen-Chapin). In this coaching session, we talk about building her business, her decades-long career in the medical field, and the future of her YouTube channel. What do you think? Should she get the puppy this summer, or evaluate for the next six months?

Today we have a really special video for you, a live 1-hour coaching session with Angela (who goes by Annie), a writer and podcast producer, and member of the YouTube channel. Annie recently left her 9-5 at a non-profit and has spent the past year building a freelance writing business. In this session, we talk about where to focus her energy, pricing, positioning, and how to build a concrete offering for her clients. Thank you Annie for joining me (follow her and listen to her podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@anniezomaya151/) If you're a member and interested in potentially being featured in a coaching session, please email me!

I'm Mandy—a career coach and former Corporate America girlie turned writer. I currently live on a 4-acre farm in the Pacific Northwest with my husband Brendan and our two kids. After a decade-plus climb through editorial (W Magazine) and finance (American Express), I realized I was chasing success at the cost of personal satisfaction.

i mean the truth is i was a total nerd in high school so i had a LOT of time to myself to create a strong inner world and i became really good at shutting out the noise. this, coupled with my deranged work ethic, meant that i was tenacious and simply would never give up. soooo that's been the secret to my success, hahaha.

The craziest thing about running a business is that you have to learn by doing, and you have to do all this stuff in public: in front of other people, with them watching and (maybe) judging. Two things. First, you have to fill yourself with self-love to withstand any kind of wobbliness or criticism. Second, you have to keep doing it anyway because this is how you will gather real-time data and be able to make informed decisions about how to grow and scale. Thank you so much for all the love. It means the world to me. I love making these videos!!!

I mean if you're watching this video, it might actually be time to take the leap. :)

I share practical tips on how to price your products to get more clients and close more deals. This is based on my 8+ years of experience as a coach, business owner, and consultant to small businesses. www.mandytang.co

Every single good business decision I ever made was driven -- not by numbers, charts, comps, or KPIs -- but by my intuition! Every bad decision was made out of fear. We know the way. Sometimes we just have a hard time listening. Watch this video to get a little more pep in your step, girly pop. www.mandytang.co

There comes a time in every young entrepreneur's life when they have to do the dreaded thing: update their website!!! It's a slog. It's horrible. Nothing works. There's a million plug-ins. You find yourself knee-deep in some random tutorial that makes no sense. You are THIS CLOSE to just walking way. I feel you. I'm here with you too. But maybe, we could do it together???!!! My website for reference: www.mandytang.co

For your business to get stronger, you have to understand how all the little parts flow and connect together. And in order to do that, you have to know, on a visceral level, what you want to accomplish with your business and the type of ecosystem that YOU want to run. For reference, here's my website today, expect it to change a lot over the next few weeks! www.mandytang.co
