There are three essential skill sets required to build a successful and sustainable online coaching business: subject matter expertise, coaching skills, and business skills, or what Jill calls the Online Coaching Triad. Business growth, like any skill, requires repetition, exposure, and a willingness to be bad before getting better. You don't need advanced degrees or decades of experience to get started, but you do need the ability to help someone solve a problem, coach real humans through change, and learn the fundamentals of running a business.

When it comes to online business, there are your need-to-know fundamentals, aka the nuts and bolts, and there are the additions you get to make after you become a master, aka the bells and whistles. While platforms, attention spans, delivery methods, AI, and content formats continue to evolve, the core foundations of a successful online coaching business remain timeless: building community and trust, niching down to solve a specific problem, creating offers people genuinely want, selling in a way that creates safety and confidence, and delivering great results as a coach. No matter how trendy the space becomes, you can't skip these fundamentals. And above all, relationships—not algorithms, ads, or AI—are what create long-term, anti-fragile businesses.

If you want to be a successful online business owner, there's a vital shift you need to make: you must move from consumer to creator.

Today, Jill walks through the tangible behaviors that separate creators from consumers, including setting boundaries, focusing on big needle-moving work, creating before consuming, and working on the business instead of constantly working in it. It's both a mindset shift and a practical self-audit for anyone who wants to stop waiting, stop reacting, and start fully owning their role as a creator and business owner.
