In this monologue, Kelly Alhooie reflects on how she built her coaching business, PelviBiz, by prioritising passion, mission, and measurable client results over personal salary. She emphasizes that a great coach must deliver tangible financial outcomes for clients—helping them achieve $50K‑$80K months within three years—while also teaching mindset, relationships, and holistic life skills. Kelly identifies her core strength as in‑person connection, using live events to deepen community and fuel growth. She advocates total transparency on social media, sharing both strengths and vulnerabilities to build trust. The talk also delves into the dynamics of the coach‑client relationship, warning against over‑hand‑holding, stressing empowerment, and highlighting the risk of burnout when coaches take client outcomes personally. Kelly’s key lessons include leveraging personal strengths, being authentic, empowering clients to take responsibility, and recognizing personal limits to avoid burnout.

just, and then I think number 9 is like highly, highly passionate about it. You know, whether or not you get a salary or not. People don't know this, but I've never taken a salary from Kelly Biz ever, ever. Never taken a salary. It's purely been out of passion, just straight up passion. And you know, I don't know if I'm proud of that or not, but I just, I just wanna tell you that you, if you want to build something great and big, it's not about the money. And that's what I also realized being a coach. It's about the mission, the passion, the purpose, the results. And it really comes down to the results that you can get other people. And that's what makes you great. If you can get other people to go from nothing to $50K, $60K, $70K, $80K months, guys, I can't tell you how many people we've been able to do that with. From nothing, no business at all, in 3 years or less. 3 years or less. Life-changing. Life-changing. And it's the results that we get people. And I would say that's an— that's also the number one thing that makes us different, is the results. So if you want to be a freaking good coach, get the results and coach differently. Don't just teach tactile, you have to teach mindset, you have to teach relationships, you have to teach every single aspect of life because it all goes together. And that's what makes people be able to move and be able to move forward. And so anyways, that's what I want to say about how I built PelviBiz. And then basically it was through events. Oh yeah, and that's, I guess, number 10 is Do what your strengths are. My strengths is in person. For those that have met me online, I show up okay online. For those that have met me in person, I probably surprise you, and I'm probably, I don't know, better in person. I know I'm better in person because I'm just a people person. So I love events, I love connecting with people, I love people, I love to surround myself with people, I get energy from people. I'm one of those blessed people that gets energy from people. Um, and so do what you're passionate about. So if I'm very passionate about putting on events, then for me it's like I need to put on events because that's going to build the movement. You're very passionate about helping people online, well then do more online events, you know. But for me it's about connection, and I can feel I can build a deeper connection in person than online. And then I would say the last thing is probably social media. Getting very comfortable with telling social media every single thing about you, no matter what. The good, the bad, the ugly, all the things. I have no, no, nothing to hide. I'm not one single thing to hide. I've told social media every single thing. Everything. People are like, wow, you're so vulnerable on it. Yeah, because I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of anything. Most people are afraid of what other people are going to think. I'm not afraid because I know who I am. And to be a good coach, you have to know exactly who you are because you're going to have people you will change that you will change their life completely. And then you do something that they don't agree with and then they're like, I hate you. Okay, great. And you have to be okay with that. Like, at first when I started being a coach, I was like, oh my God, like, I love these people. They're like my sisters and blah, blah, blah. And then like when they would leave, I was just like, oh my God, it was like heartbreak. Like, like I was so heartbroken. It's like a family member dying. Like for real, that's how hard I took it because I take this stuff personally. But then I learned it's not me. I learned there's two parties here and you have to be in like a relationship with kind of your clients and the fact that both parties have to participate. And you have to learn that you, you can, you cannot put everyone on your back and carry them to the finish line because then I disempower people. And I have to empower them instead of disempowering them. And that's giving them the tools, resources, and all the things that they need, but they have to decide if they want to put in the work. And that's also part of being a good coach is you got to know how to empower people and not just handhold them the entire way because you will get burnt out. This happened to me. You will get 100% burnt out, take everything so personal, and you'll hate it. And it'll be like, I'm done. And I did, I did that, and then I had a reboot. And I would say that's probably my biggest regret. I don't really have regrets, but I would say if I had a regret, that's probably my biggest regret, is getting to that point and not recognizing it before that actually happened, um, and just kept pushing through. And I just should have taken a moment, maybe months, to figure my own self out And then continued on to coach. So just lessons of Pelvis Biz and how to become a good coach and what it's taken to get us there.
