Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the Related Podcast. I am your host, Amanda Bible, and today we are going to be diving into how to discover the type of coach you want to be, how to discover your niche, and how to really hone in on marketing yourself, monetizing yourself, and really honing in on something that I

like to call your zone of sparkle. So when I first started my journey into the coaching world, I knew that creating my dream life was something that I always wanted to do. I literally could not imagine having to sit at my desk all day, every day, knowing in my heart of hearts that I was truly meant for so much more and to make an even bigger impact.

So if you've been listening to the last couple of episodes, or if you just happened to land here today, you know that you are meant for so much more and you are meant for that big impact. Okay. If you are dreaming of it, then you are destined to make it real.

Inside of today's episode, I want to talk about identifying your zone of sparkle, really honing in on your zone of genius, understanding the type of coach that you can be, and how to truly monetize your passions, your missions, your talent, and understanding and discovering what the world needs from you, so that you can truly magnify your message, amplify your voice, and become the most magnetic version of yourself.

That you could ever dream of. So this all stems back from a concept called icky guy. When I was a freshman in college on my freshman year, I was enrolled in a class called making sense of life for life, and I want to just do like a huge shout out to my freshman professor, because at the time.

For someone to be teaching that sort of, I guess, class or whatever to a bunch of 18 year old college student, he has to have so much patience, I'm sure, but I now look back like super fondly at his name was Pedro at Pedro, and I can just really give so much thanks to him, because this concept now 100 billion years later.

Makes so much more sense, okay, so I remember this concept he introduced to me, and it was called icky guy, but essentially what it really means is your life's purpose, okay, so as an 18 year old, my life's purpose at that time during the dark days of Amanda, and we've all heard this story about my dark days was more about having fun and party.

And finding the cute boys to, you know, hang out with and all the things, but now that I've truly discovered my life's mission and my life's purpose, I want to help you make sense out of your life so that you can show up as the US you possible, the truest you possible and really start to live the life beyond your wildest dreams, because now when I talk about the concept of icky guy.

It just hits different because I've been living it, breathing it, and it's been morphing into so much more as I, you know, enter into like my fifth year of doing what I do.

This is traditionally called icky guy, but I like to call it finding your zone of sparkle, and if you could just imagine like four, like, bend diagrams, like if you go like transport yourself back to like college or high school or elementary school or wherever it was like.

For overlapping circles and the four different topics that we're going to uncover today is that of what you love so your passion that which you are good at so your talents that which you can be paid for so things that you can monetize.

And the things in which the world needs so this is essentially like your mission okay so I want you to imagine these like four little circles and at the very center where all four circles overlap this is your zone of sparkle so this is where we're going to identify the type of coach that you can be the type of niche that you can stand out in and how to really balance all of the things because you know if you.

So if you just go after something you're passionate about and there's not really a need for it, then you're going to be considered something that I heard the term for like the broke artist where you're just following the passion, but there's literally nothing that you can monetize with it.

If you're just going after the money, then you're going to end up being that broken soul and the person who is just like this burnt out stressed out version of yourself because you're not doing anything that you love so this intersection between your passion your mission your location and your profession that's little teeny tiny center that's what we're going for in today's episode.

So the first step in identifying the type of coach that you want to be or your zone of sparkle is to think about the first question here is what are you most passionate about so what is something that you can legit talk about all day long so I have luckily and amazingly and I'm so grateful for it that I've created a business where I legit get to talk about coaching and L.P.

and you know living the life beyond my wildest dreams and manifestation literally all day and on top of that I got to help my students do the same thing so I get to hold space for clients to discover their passions to discover their talents their missions what they can be paid for and I get paid for it it is the best thing ever it lights me up and I can do this from anywhere in the entire world.

So ultimately I'm living this life of freedom in every sense of the word so this is also of course possible for you to so I want you to think about what are you most passionate about so what would you love to research and talk about and keep talking about and keep learning about all day every single day.

For me I knew I always loved helping people and that is one of the prerequisites of being an incredible coach is you just want to help people and people are naturally drawn to you because you are like the person who gives the best advice or you are great at pep talking or you're always that you're to listen but for me I knew I helped women turning their to turn their dreams into goals and their passions into a business and I'm literally obsessed it is the funnest job ever.

And I'm so good at what I do that it just fuels that fire even more because I love what I'm doing so ask yourself what is something that you can legit talk about all day long and I want you to think about maybe something you are always naturally drawn to.

So maybe you can think about like the type of Instagram account you're always looking at or the type of YouTube videos you're always watching or the type of thing books you're reading or the types of things that you really really really love to learn about.

So when you focus on the passions we can start to go a little bit deeper so the important thing here is to always go through the next steps as well because if we only go after what we're passionate about we want to make sure that there is a need for this.
