Is that true for anything you would do or coaching in particular?

Replying to
it is sorta true for everything but for coaching in particular i feel like i'm failing my clients and taking their money if the sessions don't go well
This is why I don't like the path of raising rates to infinity and working with fewer and fewer clients, so much performance anxiety. I am doing something else and wrote a post about it just today will publish tomorrow

This is also why I like the idea of finding a sensible coaching rate and supplementing the coaching practice with other flexible sources of income.
I think it will really take the pressure off the coaching if it's not the only thing, which will also make me better at it.

I know it's trite and might not hit emotionally, but you shouldn't compare to perfect, but to what they'd get otherwise.

20 years of tutoring, teacher for 8 years... I know the feeling.
but I now can get feedback from adults that I taught as teens, & "not perfect" can still be "best available by a wide margin"
