Welcome to the Lifestyle Business Quest Podcast! I'm Travis Greenlee, your host and I’m so glad you’re here today because we’re talking about something that truly makes all the difference in growing a successful coaching business: having an abundance mindset. You’ve heard it before—the way you think shapes your reality. But when you’re building a lifestyle coaching business, this truth is amplified. The difference between a struggling coach and a thriving one often comes down to mindset. And specifically, an abundance mindset.

Today, I’ll be sharing why an abundance mindset is crucial, how it impacts every aspect of your business, and I’ll introduce you to three incredible clients—Brian, Jim, and Katie—whose stories show the transformative power of embracing abundance. I’ll also open up about my personal journey battling stage 4 cancer, how it completely reshaped my perspective, and why transforming a scarcity mindset into one of abundance is the most important shift you can make as a coach. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear understanding of how to cultivate an abundance mindset that will fuel your business growth. So, grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let’s get started!

An abundance mindset is the belief that there are limitless opportunities, resources, and success available to everyone. It’s the opposite of a scarcity mindset, which is rooted in fear, competition, and the belief that there’s never enough to go around. When you have an abundance mindset, you operate from a place of possibility, collaboration, and trust that your efforts will be rewarded.

Stephen Covey, the author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, said, “The abundance mentality…flows out of a deep inner sense of personal worth and security. It’s the paradigm that there is plenty out there and enough to spare for everybody.” This mindset allows you to see opportunities where others see obstacles and to approach your business with confidence and creativity, knowing that there’s always more available to you.

But here’s the thing: an abundance mindset isn’t something you just switch on overnight. It’s a practice, a daily commitment to choosing belief over fear, opportunity over lack, and action over hesitation. And it’s the mindset that saved my life, literally, when I faced the biggest battle of my life: overcoming stage 4 cancer.

Let me share a bit of my journey that completely changed how I approach life and business. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. In an instant, everything I thought I knew about success, hustle, and grinding it out was flipped upside down. I went from focusing on building my business and pushing through every challenge to suddenly facing a battle for my life.

The diagnosis was devastating. It was one of those moments where everything stops, and you’re forced to confront your deepest fears. I remember the doctor telling me I had a long road ahead, and I knew I had a choice to make: I could succumb to fear and scarcity, or I could choose to fight with everything I had, embracing life with an abundance mindset like never before.

I decided to choose abundance—not just in my healing but in every aspect of my life. I focused on gratitude for each day, the joy of small moments, and the belief that no matter how dire things seemed, there was always hope, always possibility. This mindset didn’t just help me in my recovery—it transformed how I saw my business, my clients, and my purpose. I realized that so much of the struggle I had been facing in my business was rooted in fear: fear of not having enough, fear of failing, and fear of losing what I’d built.

But when you’re faced with something as life-altering as cancer, you start to see things differently. You understand that abundance isn’t just about money or success—it’s about how you approach every single day. It’s about believing that there’s always more: more time, more opportunities, more love, and more chances to make an impact.

This mindset shift allowed me to rebuild my business from a place of abundance. I stopped chasing clients and started attracting them by showing up with a giving heart and an open mind. I started to see that the same scarcity mindset that almost destroyed me in my health battle was the same mindset that holds so many coaches back in their businesses. When you’re stuck in scarcity, you play small, you doubt yourself, and you never fully step into the potential that’s waiting for you.

Today, my business is thriving. The Perpetual Clients System I created allowed me to reach thousands more potential leads, book consistent appointments with qualified prospects, and help over 500 clients build $250,000 lifestyle coaching businesses. And yes, I’ve earned millions in the process. But the real win? It’s knowing that I’ve shifted from fear to faith, from scarcity to abundance, and I’m here to help you do the same.

Many coaches struggle to build the business they desire because they’re stuck in a scarcity mindset. They’re constantly worried about where the next client will come from, comparing themselves to others, and fearing there isn’t enough success to go around. They play it safe, avoid risks, and keep their prices low because they’re afraid of losing clients.

But the truth is, this scarcity mindset is the biggest barrier to creating the lifestyle business you want. When you operate from fear, you make decisions that keep you small. You turn down opportunities, hesitate to invest in yourself, and ultimately, you hold yourself back from reaching your true potential.

Let’s break down why having an abundance mindset is non-negotiable if you want to grow a thriving coaching business:

1. It Attracts Opportunities: When you believe there’s enough for everyone, you naturally attract more opportunities. You’re open to new ideas, willing to collaborate, and ready to take action without the fear of losing out. This kind of energy is magnetic—it draws people, resources, and success toward you.

2. It Drives Resilience and Creativity: An abundance mindset helps you see setbacks as stepping stones rather than roadblocks. Instead of getting stuck in a “why me” mindset, you look for the lessons, pivot quickly, and find creative solutions. It’s this resilience that keeps you moving forward even when things don’t go as planned.

3. It Fosters Collaboration Over Competition: When you embrace abundance, you stop seeing other coaches as competition and start seeing them as potential partners. This shift opens doors to collaborations, referrals, and mutually beneficial relationships that can exponentially grow your business.

4. It Enhances Your Client Relationships: Your clients can feel your mindset. When you show up with abundance, you’re not desperate for the next sale; you’re focused on serving, providing value, and truly helping them achieve their goals. This energy builds trust, strengthens relationships, and leads to higher client retention and referrals.

Wayne Dyer, one of the most well-known self-help authors, said, “Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.” The beauty of this mindset is that it’s available to everyone. It’s not about what you have; it’s about how you think.

Let’s dive into the stories of three of my amazing clients who’ve experienced the power of an abundance mindset firsthand.

Brian’s Story – From Scarcity to Abundance: Transforming His Business Mindset. Brian came to me struggling to grow his coaching business. He was constantly worried about where his next client would come from and often felt like there was never enough time, money, or opportunity. This scarcity mindset was holding him back from taking risks and putting himself out there. When we started working together, we focused on shifting his mindset from fear to abundance. We worked on his daily habits, affirmations, and visualizations, focusing on the endless possibilities available to him.

Soon, Brian started to see opportunities everywhere. He collaborated with other coaches, launched joint ventures, and began attracting clients without even trying. His income doubled in just six months, and more importantly, he found joy and fulfillment in his work again. Brian says, “The biggest shift wasn’t in my strategy; it was in my mind. When I stopped worrying about what I didn’t have and started focusing on what was possible, everything changed.”

Jim’s Story – Rebuilding with Abundance After Setbacks. Jim’s story is one of resilience. He had built a successful coaching business but lost almost everything during a major life change. He was feeling defeated and was ready to give up on his business altogether. Jim’s mindset was stuck in scarcity, feeling like he had to fight for every client and compete with every other coach out there. When we started working together, I encouraged Jim to embrace the mindset of abundance—to see his setbacks as setups for a bigger comeback.

We reframed his challenges, focusing on the lessons and the opportunities hidden within them. Jim started to view his competitors as potential collaborators, not enemies. He reached out, made connections, and started offering value without expecting anything in return. His business took off. He started booking consistent appointments with qualified prospects, and within a year, Jim rebuilt his business to six figures. “The biggest win wasn’t just the financial success,” Jim shared. “It was realizing that there’s enough room for all of us to thrive.”

Katie’s Story – Expanding Beyond Her Limits with Abundance. Katie had always been a go-getter, but she often felt like she was hitting a ceiling in her coaching business. She was doing well but couldn’t seem to break through to the next level. Katie’s mindset was all about “just enough”—just enough clients to get by, just enough income to feel secure. She was playing small, afraid to go bigger because she thought there wasn’t enough room at the top.

We worked on shifting Katie’s mindset to one of abundance, helping her see that her potential was limitless. She started showing up with a new energy, raising her prices, expanding her offerings, and reaching out to new markets. Katie’s business exploded. She went from earning $5,000 a month to over $25,000 a month in less than a year. “Once I realized that abundance was all around me, I stopped holding back,” Katie said. “I started playing bigger, and my business grew bigger with me.”

Let’s go deeper into how you can cultivate an abundance mindset that fuels your success and helps you break free from the limitations of scarcity.

1. Daily Affirmations and Visualization – Start Your Day with Abundance.

One of the most powerful ways to shift your mindset is through daily affirmations and visualization. This isn’t just about repeating positive phrases; it’s about reprogramming your mind to focus on what’s possible rather than what’s lacking. Every morning, take a few minutes to sit quietly, close your eyes, and visualize your ideal day, your dream clients, and your business thriving. Picture yourself fully booked, financially free, and living the lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

Affirmations like, “I am open to all the abundance the universe has to offer,” or “There is more than enough for everyone, including me,” can help train your brain to expect success rather than fear failure. Visualization helps you see and feel the reality of your success before it happens, which aligns your actions with your highest goals.

When you make this a daily practice, you start your day in a state of possibility rather than worry. Your mindset shifts from scarcity to abundance, and that positive energy flows into everything you do. You’re not just hoping for success—you’re expecting it.

2. Gratitude Practice – Tune Into the Abundance You Already Have.

Gratitude is the foundation of abundance. When you’re constantly focused on what you don’t have, it’s easy to feel stuck, frustrated, and overwhelmed. But when you shift your focus to what you do have, you start to see the abundance that’s already present in your life and business.

Every day, write down three things you’re grateful for. They don’t have to be big things—sometimes the small, simple moments have the most power. It could be a kind message from a client, a new opportunity that came your way, or even just the fact that you have the freedom to run your own business. By consistently acknowledging the good, you start to train your brain to see abundance everywhere.

This practice doesn’t just make you feel good—it rewires your brain to look for opportunities instead of problems. Gratitude shifts your perspective from “I need more” to “I have enough,” which, ironically, attracts even more into your life. When you operate from a place of gratitude, your energy changes, and you begin to draw in the people, resources, and opportunities that align with that abundant mindset.

3. Give More, Expect Less – The Law of Reciprocity in Action.

One of the most powerful ways to cultivate abundance is to give freely without expecting anything in return. When you operate from a scarcity mindset, you might feel like you have to guard your knowledge, keep your best strategies to yourself, or hold back from helping others because you’re afraid of losing your edge. But here’s the truth: the more you give, the more you receive.

Start showing up with a giving heart. Offer your best advice in your content, support other coaches, collaborate without fear, and provide value wherever you can. This isn’t about being selfless to a fault; it’s about understanding that there’s more than enough to go around. When you give without expectation, you tap into the law of reciprocity—people naturally want to give back.

Think about it: the most successful people in any industry are often the ones who are the most generous with their time, knowledge, and support. When you give, you create a ripple effect that comes back to you in ways you can’t always predict. It could be a new client, a referral, a collaboration, or simply the joy of knowing you made a positive impact. Abundance flows when you lead with generosity.

An abundance mindset is the foundation of every thriving coaching business. It’s about shifting from fear to faith, from scarcity to possibility, and from competition to collaboration. Brian, Jim, and Katie all transformed their businesses by embracing abundance, and the same is possible for you. The opportunities are limitless, and your potential is boundless. All it takes is a shift in how you think.
