What if building a successful business didn’t require sacrificing the life you wanted the business to create?
In this Labor Day episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, Angela sits down with Andrea Engstrom, founder of BOLD Mastermind, author of Bold Confidence, and a seven-figure business coach who helps women turn their knowledge and experience into profitable, freedom-focused coaching businesses.
Andrea generated more than $100,000 in her first 90 days as a coach and went on to build a seven-figure coaching company. But her approach isn’t about working harder or filling every available hour. It’s about clarity, confidence, intentional growth, and creating a business that supports the life you actually want.
In this conversation, Andrea shares how she uses the Japanese concept of ikigai — the intersection of what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for — to help women uncover expertise they may not even realize is valuable.
Angela and Andrea also explore what it takes to stand out in a crowded coaching industry, why your personal story can become one of your greatest business advantages, and how to grow an audience and generate leads organically without depending on paid advertising.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- How Andrea generated $100K in her first 90 days as a coach
- How to identify expertise you can turn into a profitable coaching offer
- How ikigai can help you find the intersection of purpose, expertise, market demand, and income
- Why you may be overlooking skills and experiences other people would gladly pay to learn
- Why you don't have to be the world's leading expert to help someone — sometimes you only need to be a chapter ahead
- Why a crowded coaching market can actually be proof that an opportunity exists
- How your story, authenticity, and lived experience can differentiate your business
- How Andrea uses relationships, referrals, networking, and community to grow organically
- How to create valuable engagement in other people's communities without constantly self-promoting
- Why group coaching can create greater leverage and freedom than relying exclusively on one-to-one services
- How to identify your highest-value, income-generating activities and begin delegating the rest
- Why perfectionism and busywork may be taking time away from the activities that actually grow your business
- How Andrea thinks about systems, consistency, and becoming the person capable of creating the results you want
- Why building your business around your personal goals can lead to greater freedom and sustainability
A Powerful Reminder for Mom Entrepreneurs
One of Andrea's core philosophies is to begin with your personal goals: What do you want your life to look like? Then create a business that aligns with that life — rather than working yourself into the ground in pursuit of success.
That message feels particularly meaningful for a Labor Day episode.
As moms and entrepreneurs, it’s easy to become so focused on everything we need to accomplish that we forget why we wanted greater freedom in the first place.
This episode is your invitation to reconsider what success looks like for you.
