Ask Carly: "If you had a new coaching business in 2026, what would you do?"

Hi everyone,

If you’re new here, one of the features that my paid subscribers receive is a private podcast series called “Ask Carly.” It’s exactly what it sounds like — my subscribers write in their questions, and I sit down at the microphone and record you a deep dive response.

This week’s question is:

“If you had a relatively new coaching business in 2026, what are the top 3 things you would do to create success short-term & long-term?”

I posted to my Instagram stories that I was about to sit down and record, and had a great response, so it looks like this is a question you’re curious about as well…

Now, a preface — I like to be able to give in depth responses that are valuable for more than just the question-asker, so I’ve tailored my answer to be relevant if you are either…

a) about to start your coaching business
b) new to your coaching business
c) in your first couple years of running your business
d) working towards $60k - $100k a year

And, if you’re nosy, I’m telling you — if I personally were starting all over again, this is what I would do differently this time, in 2026.
