Hello there and welcome to The Savvy Corner! If you are a coach, creator or solopreneur looking for tips and advice on business and money, you are going to love it here!
My name is Alisa, I am a financial coach and business mentor based in the UK and I help (soon to be) qualified coaches build successful businesses and make a living doing what they love.
I have been running my own coaching business, The Savvy Corner, since 2017. I teach courses about business and financial viability and regularly run workshops and events on this topic in collaboration with The Association for Coaching, The University of Cambridge and other organisations and coaching training providers.
I created this RU-vid channel to share my knowledge and experience with you. From choosing a niche and ideal client to marketing and promotion, pricing and selling your coaching services, money mindset and everything else in between.

Thank you so much for such helpful, very informative videos that are to the point and are exactly what new coaches need! No other channel comes even close to yours! Believe me I have looked!❤❤❤ I have a question and grateful in advance for answering it🌸: - Do you send your clients an invoice for the payments?
Thank you for this video. Really helped me. Just had an experience with client like that but you gave me good ideas what I can do for next time. Thank you
Dear Alisa, as a new coach, this was just the offboarding information I was looking for, thank you! I really liked the visual presenation approach as well.
Hey There! I have been watching your videos for a couple of days. Your content and video quality are the best. However, the views, likes, comments, and subscribers are not as expected. Because your videos and channel have no proper SEO. Such as proper keywords in the title and description, ranked tags, and high-volume tags incomplete. However, RU-vid Video SEO is crucial for increasing the reach of a wider audience, gaining more views, and ultimately growing your channel. Moreover, proper SEO is strongly recommended by RU-vid authorities. I am a RU-vid video SEO and promotion specialist at Outsourcing BD Institute. Part of my job includes SEO advocacy for people looking to improve their RU-vid channel. If you prefer, I can show you details about the problematic area of your channel with analytics. It's totally free. Will I do it?
Alisa, you are awesome. Your way of conveying the information is very calming, reassuring and peaceful manner. This is exactly what the coaching business on RU-vid needs. Lot of value for free.
I have been a Self-Confidence Coach and have already started but I'm not doing too well at the moment. Hence I'm here learning from you my lady... would appreciate more pointers however❤
Thanks for stopping by. I have a few more videos about finding your niche as well as videos on how to build your coaching business. Feel free to browse the channel for more info ☺️
My go-to books would be "You are badass at making money" and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" - they inspirated and motivated me to think and behave a different way, and after I finished reading the first I literally started earning money with freelance I thought was impossible.
I think its game changing when business owners plan their financial goals, and then monitor them weekly. This really helps drive performance by getting focus on the ultimate goal, of making profit and cash! This really helped me clarify my message in my latest video, thanks!
Great video! I recently had a bad experience with a very diifficult coaching client who ticked almost all of the boxes. It is hard. Especially because in the beginning you think some things might be an unfortunate coincidence and you want to be empathic and flexible. It takes a while before you fully realize and accept that this person is actually 'not coachable', and by then you are already deep into the process. At least, that is how it went in my case. The experience has learned me that it is wiser to follow your gut feeling and that it's okay to refuse clients (even after a few sessions, if necessary). Thanks for the empowering video!
Sorry to hear that happened to you, Sarina. It is hard, as you say, and you always want to give people the benefit of the doubt: maybe they had a bad day, an emergency, etc. But at some point it becomes clear that the coaching relationship is not going to work and you both need to move on. If you can spot the signs from the beginning you can avoid uncomfortable situations later by not taking them on as a client, but sometimes we miss the signs, or don't know what to look for. That's why I filmed this video 🙂. It looks to me like you learned a lot from this experience, so well done for that and keep doing great work! Thanks for taking the time to write a comment, it means a lot 🙌
This is very timely for me! Thanks for sharing. I'm moving more into this direction based on various personal and professional experiences. Giving ourselves permission to experiment is key
Thank you Sabs, glad to hear it was timely and useful for you. Check out the podcast episode as well (link in the description box) where Lisa shared even more insights. And I agree, experimenting is so important ☺️
I love the way Lisa defined was success means for her coaching business in the context of her circumstances (being employed full-time and having a coaching practice alongside her job). I'm curious, what does success mean to you and your business in the circumstances you find yourself in when you watch this video?
Great post Alica, thanks for sharing. Going with you intuition resonates with me as I have a strong natural ability to establish a connection with people almost immediately.
I'm glad I found you. There are many videos on RU-vid about coaching. Yours are at a certain level that appeal to my professional side as a therapist transitioning to coaching. Thank you. Oh yes, I have subscribed already. Good stuff!
Thank you so much, Ellen! I really appreciate your supportive comment 😊. You might also like my podcast, Coaching for a Living. You can find it on all major podcast directories (Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon, etc.) and I'll try and leave a link for it here too, let's see if YT lets me bit.ly/3UIU0w9
I help individuals seeking career change to identify options clearly and select the most achievable option to make transition steadily and build up a new career path.
Sorry for the late reply Fahd, but I was not notified of your comment and I missed it. You might want to shorten it a little by removing the "and build up a new career path" at the end. It's already clear that this is what they want to do. Also, you can compress it even longer by saying "to clearly identify and select the most suitable options". The word steadily could also probably be replaced by "easier" or something that immediately resonates with people. I hope this helps. Keep going, you're doing a great job!
Glad you enjoyed it Keiya and sorry for the late reply, but for some reason I was not notified of your comment. Thanks for checking out the channel and taking the time to write such kind words. I really appreciate it.
