Have you ever wondered whether it's too late to start a coaching business, or whether you really have to be on social media to grow one? This week I'm joined by the brilliant Alex Strauss, who has built not one but two successful online businesses -- entirely without social media -- and she's doing it in her 50s and heading towards 60.
In this week's episode we cover a lot of ground, from starting an online coaching business later in life, to growing your audience without touching Instagram, to what happens when your interests evolve and you want to pivot, and how face yoga can help you feel more confident on camera.
Tune in to learn:
- Why the online space is actually brilliant for women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond
- How Alex has grown two successful brands without ever using social media
- The evergreen podcast concept and how it can work as a hands-off sales tool
- What to do when your coaching interests change and you want to pivot
- How face yoga can help you feel more confident and like the best version of yourself on video
