12. Coaching Confessions: How Hadar Shemesh Faked Her Way to a Million Followers (Sort Of)

This is the first episode of a new series I am calling Coaching Confessions, where I sit down with coaches who are seven figures and above and ask them what the beginning actually looked like. First up: my guest posted a single flyer on a street in Israel, charged $20 an hour, and when that flyer landed her exactly one client who never came back, she logged into an online forum under a fake name and recommended herself to strangers. I laughed for a full minute when she told me this. Then she told me about her first group program: nobody signed up, so she just told the one person who asked that it had sold out.If you think every successful coach had a clear plan and an audience before they started, this episode explains why that is a comforting lie. I'm talking with Hadar Shemesh, who has built an online business now reaching over a million people on YouTube, about the 18 years it took to get there, the years of 200-view videos before anything caught on, and the one thought that wasted more of her time than any actual failure ever did: making a decision, and then unmaking it for months.There is no version of this where she had it figured out from day one. This episode is the proof.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://socraticcoaching.com/12Follow along on Instagram: instagram.com/karaloewentheil/Mentioned in this episode:FREE GUIDE: The Top Three Things I Wish I Had Known Before Becoming A CoachThere are three absolutely crucial concepts that have contributed to my success today as a coach that I wish I had known when I started, and I'm sharing them with you in this free guide.
