98: Jessica Yarbrough, Business Coach and Consultant

Daniel Giordano

SUMMARY:

This episode of The All-In Podcast features a woman who has converted her transcendental journey to self-discovery into a powerful consulting practice. Jessica Yarbrough’s business is centered on tools and practices that take coaching to next-level success. How does she do it? She shares with Daniel the three prongs that fuel her strategy: helping fellow entrepreneurs showcase their services, unlock a high-paying customer base and unblock the bottlenecks that bedevil so many growing ventures.

But the first step, says Jessica, is the one many of us resist: Looking in the mirror and facing whatever fear is staring back. Without a clear understanding of the self-doubt, imposter syndrome or myopia that bog us down, it’s impossible to drive forward authentically. Jessica is clearly called to mentoring – and gifted in her ability to deliver her straight-ahead vision for removing the barriers that keep us from realizing optimal business success.

KEY TOPICS:

Jessica shares the contours of a journey that took her from her North Carolina roots to early business endeavors in San Diego to selling her company in order to travel the world and deepen her self-knowledge.
Having her daughter was what brought Jessica full circle back to the business world, where she started from the ground up building the thriving consulting business she runs internationally today.
Why Jessica’s native talent for marketing wasn’t enough to keep her from her true passion: Teaching and mentoring others.
The Big Vision: Helping as many people as possible to level up their innate sense of self-worth and agency in the world.
Getting Unstuck: Jessica stresses that the only way through fear is to face it. Whatever it is that’s coming up is the very thing you need to face.
It starts as a whisper: When something is off with your life – relationship, job or other element – you have the choice to listen or to hide and wait for the big breaking point that will inevitably come.
One of the most empowering thing you can do is get quiet. So make the commitment of time necessary to shut out the noise and – wholly on your own – find your inner guide.
Don’t rush out to share what you are uncovering. Let it marinate quietly while you deepen in your faith and self-understanding.
The entrepreneurial journey is just that – a personal exploration and expansion.
The three most common core problems Jessica’s clients bring:
- How do I sell my services?
- How do I find high-paying clients?
- How do I break free of being the bottleneck to growth?
Implementing change:
- It’s imperative to raise prices, even if it means losing some clients.
- Create a scalable model.
- Do the inner work associated with any resistance.
- Put team members in place to free up flow and take the business to a next level.
Taking a Break: Jessica loves enjoying the outdoors, including beaches and hikes. She also makes travel a priority, bringing her daughter along on adventures (including the acquisition of a pandemic-inspired RV!).
Personal Wellness: Jessica is passionate about working out, eating clean food, meditating daily. She also makes it a priority to have a solid support network around her, including a coach.
Words of Wisdom: Tune in deep down to determine if something fundamental in your life needs to shift. Follow the fear and get help to move forward.

“Building a business is the biggest personal journey you can go on – outside of parenting.”
