Why it's \"simple, not easy\" - The framework for success is straightforward; what's hard is the internal shift in identity, fear of rejection, and limiting beliefs Traditional nursing income vs. coaching income - A nurse earning ~$40/hr working 36 hrs/week makes ~$74K/year; 10 coaching clients can generate the same income working far fewer hours Real pricing numbers: New grad: $1,800/package → $72K/year (10 clients) Mid-career: $2,500/package → $100K/year Established (2–3+ years): $3,000/package → $120K/year Time breakdown — Full-time practice = 20–25 hrs/week total; 10 clients at 90 min/session = ~15 hrs of direct client work per month Part-time model — 5–8 clients is fully achievable alongside other commitments The 5-year projection — Why nurse coaching outpaces traditional nursing paths long-term Reverse engineering $10K/month — At a $2,500 package, you need 4 \"yes\" conversations, ~16 proposals, and 40–60 invites per month (2–3 hours of outreach) The tugboat vs. lighthouse shift — Early on you invite people in; over time, clients come to you Top 5 Fears Laura Addresses \"I'm an introvert\" — Coaching is built for introverts \"I suck at sales\" — Sales is a learnable skill; nurse coaches call it advocacy \"Who can afford coaching?\" — Coaching is a $2.2B industry and tends to be recession-proof \"I feel guilty charging\" — Why charging clients is actually an act of belief in them \"I'm an imposter\" — Why imposter syndrome signals high intelligence and capacity for growth The math isn't complicated.
