UGGHHH

Ok, so I stepped out of my comfort zone and partnered with a colleague to offer a Career Group Coaching Bootcamp.  Then no one signed up so we decided to offer a free 30 minute teleconference leading up to it...and we had 3 people sign up.  Awesome, right?  Not really.  No one showed up so my colleague and I had an opportunity to catch up on the conference call line at the time the call was scheduled for.

Yes, it's all about perspective and I know there are valuable learnings in this.  How did we market it?  Did we sabotage ourselves by not charging anything? What title may have been more enticing? Blah, blah, blah. 

I feel like I've arrived at my target client and what I offer to clients:  I empower entrepreneurs to overcome the doubt and overwhelm so that they can spend their time doing what they LOVE and achieve amazing results. 

I was doing OK and believing in myself and then a friend (well, a facebook friend) made this comment after I shared my niche with him: "How do you teach entrepreneurs how to be successful if you haven't achieved it yourself? Let me explain.... there are so many life coaches, coaches of this and that and so many of these coaches have yet to experience what they are offering... My concerns are great when I m aked to share my team mates with those wanting to offer service or products so...nothing personal..."

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Is this for real or am I just wasting my time chasing butterflies and spending money on something that will never come to fruition?
