Are You an introverted business owner struggling with burnout, who wants to reclaim your time and energy?
My decades of business experience as an entrepreneur has helped me see the business journey in a different way — a better way. Today, I see the business journey as a cycle that flows both forward and backward; it isn’t linear like we were taught. There are three phases in the business cycle where we get stuck, frustrated and burned out. When you lay a strong foundation in these three phases of the business cycle, you will flow and your business will grow.
Phase One
Phase one in the business cycle is the time in which you are establishing your business. This stage can feel overwhelming, like you need to know and do everything all at once. I call this the ‘sink or swim’ phase, because it can feel like you are drowning in overwhelm. I coach my clients on how to choose the most important steps, one step at a time. Creating a strong business foundation without getting overwhelmed by everything that needs to be done is central to success at this stage. A strong phase 1 business foundation will help you create faster and easier business results moving forward.
Phase Two
Phase 2 in the business cycle is when your business is established. The struggle in this phase is that you are still trading your time for dollars and your work/life balance is not established. The leap to work less and make more is possible but the process to get there is not as straightforward as you might think. In this phase, we focus on creating strong internal and external boundaries to gain the time and energy you need to grow your business with the balance, space and freedom to move forward with ease.
Phase Three
Phase 3 in the business cycle is having the successful business that you always wanted. However, it never feels like enough and it will never be enough if your vision is focused outward. I will coach you to reclaim your passion for your business vision by looking inward. If you have made it this far, you have the power to become a true visionary. We will coach on rekindling your passion for your business by restructuring and aligning your business so that it works for you and you no longer have to work for your business. When you align your business to who you truly are, your business becomes an extension of your vision and it flows through you effortlessly.
Personal coaching
Don’t have a business but still want coaching? Many of the coaching tools that I use in my business coaching such as work/life balance, mindset work on what’s holding you back from moving forward and creating strong boundaries to free up your time, energy and space are also amazing life skills that work for everyone even if you don’t have a business. One of the things I’ve noticed when I started working with a business empowerment coach was that not only did the coaching help me with my business skills, but it helped me with my life skills. This is because work is a microcosm of our lives and if you struggle with clarity and focus, moving forward or boundaries in your personal life, then you are also going to be struggling with those skills in your business. I like to say that if knowledge is power then self-knowledge is the power over your destiny.

Happy Clients
Carolyn Elges’ coaching style and methods helped me to move beyond specific problems and take personal action to resolve these issues. Her advice was immediately effective in relieving anxiety from personal situations. She gave me a new ability to see the same stressful events through a more pragmatic and sometimes humorous perspective. It was a relief to have her guide me past feeling angry and resentful to being in a place of calm.
Carolyn’s experience as a business woman mixed with her coaching skills is a powerful combination. She really taught me to value my body wisdom more and because of that, I’m a faster and more confident decision maker in my business and my life as a whole. I also felt safe enough to get some very personal coaching from Carolyn and open up with her in a way that I’ve opened up with very few other people. She created a safe space for me and helped me create meaningful personal shifts.
I can honestly say that my life has changed completely since starting to work with Carolyn a year ago. I had a lot of inner dialogue that was holding me back from realizing my full potential. Carolyn has helped me to recognize where this dialogue began, how to dismantle it, and how to recognize similar patterns in other areas of my life. Now I know with absolute certainty how to achieve my dreams, communicate more effectively and live comfortably being a sensitive person. Working with her has been one of the best decisions of my life.
Carolyn has been an amazing coach for me. She has the ability to recognize when I’m feeling resistant to change, and she helps me get past my limiting beliefs. I always feel that through her coaching I accomplish my goals for the session. I walk away more confident and knowledgeable and know myself better. I highly recommend Carolyn!
Completing coaching sessions with Carolyn was a great way to prep for my new year and goals. Her guidance with mind-body connection and how we can utilize that to be more productive and focus on what drives us (personally and professionally) has been extremely beneficial. Since my coaching sessions I have been more aware of how tasks and goals make me feel and how I can shift those feelings to accomplish what I need to. I feel my productivity has increased and my focus has been “tuned up” to be a better business owner and human in general. Carolyn has a unique gift of being able to help others and I highly recommend investing in yourself and working with her!
Before doing business coaching with Carolyn, I had big dreams but also had a lot of resistance and icky feelings around the sales and enrollment aspects of my business as a voice coach. During the process of working with her, I felt seen, heard, supported and valued. Now I feel greater alignment and integration of my subconscious self which makes it easier for me to take the steps I need to take.
