Hey friend! I’m so excited to introduce you to an amazing business owner and member of Babe Crafted today. Meet Coryn of Coryn Quester Coaching! Her business was born in the Summer of 2018 and she helps aspiring entrepreneurs bring the business of their dreams to life. Coryn has said becoming an entrepreneur has been the greatest gift and lesson she’s ever received. This is because the niche she coaches on is the same career transition she has made herself.
When working in corporate America, Coryn was a successful Human Resources professional. But she was also yearning to have a career that aligned with her life goals. Her desire to be a present mother made her realize that in order to ditch the demanding schedule and unrealistic expectations of the corporate world, it was time for a big shift. She went from saying ‘some day’ to ‘today!’ and this is the same energy and strategy she brings to the table with her clients. Coryn is also podcast host of “Discover What’s Possible with Coryn Quester” and Co-Leader of Tuesdays Together Tampa Bay, a local chapter of the umbrella organization, Rising Tide Society.
Enjoy getting to know Coryn & stay boss! xx -Gina
Take a peek into Coryn’s daily life!
Tell us about yourself and what you do!
I'm a business coach, helping new entrepreneurs start their dream business and give them the confidence to leave the 9-5 grind!
How did your business begin?
I hired a life coach in 2017. He helped me gain clarity into the kind of business I wanted to start, and I uncovered that being a business coach helping others escape an unfulfilling, stifling corporate career to pursue a business that they're truly passionate about is where my heart was (and is still!). I launched my business and left my corporate job in June of 2018, and haven't looked back since!

What's 1 challenge you've faced and how has it effected your business? What did you do to overcome it?
I'm no marketing expert. Haha... I hired a marketing coach, and she has helped me tremendously with my message and how to become more visible.
What's 1 success you've had since you’ve created your business? How do you feel when you look back on it?
I hit a 5 figure month back in May, and I'm just in shock at it still! That tells me that I am capable and successful as entrepreneur.

What's the best piece of advice you could give someone looking to start a business?
Just start. Have the courage to start, and the drive to keep going, as long as you have those things... you'll be just fine.
What's a pivot you've made in your business?
I'm in the middle of one now! I am now shifting from a 1:1 only coaching model to a 1:many group coaching model helping brand new entrepreneurs launch a new business FAST (in 4 weeks)! I'm partnering with a branding+web designer, and clients will walk away with their business, marketing, brand, and website setup in 4 weeks! It's called "The All-Inclusive Launch Party!" I'm also adding on an additional separate program called "The Launch After Party" will be more of a hybrid group+1:1 coaching model. I can't wait! Both are launching in October.

When are you at your happiest?
When I see the progress my clients are making. I've had 4 clients launch new businesses within the last month, and I couldn't be prouder of them! They are crushing it!
What do you tell yourself when things get difficult?
I quit! ...for 2 hours! Haha... and then I get back onto my goals and keep going. The help I provide to people is WAY above any mindset block I allow myself to have sometimes, and I just need to remind myself of that when things get hard.

Whats 1 personal goal you've set for yourself this year?
My biggest personal goal this year is to buy a house, and we've almost reached the amount we need save to put money down! It's so close!!
What's 1 business goal you've set for yourself to accomplish this year?
I think the biggest one was to hit a 5 figure month, and I did it!!

What's the first thing you do on a Monday morning and why?
Announce my Facebook Group's winning topic for the week so that all members know what I'll be covering for the week. Other than that, it's drinking my 12 ounces of celery juice... Haha...
Where can you be found + what will you typically be up to on a Friday night?
Well, right now? Home. Damn Covid, but pre-Covid, my husband, daughter, and I used to go to dinner on Friday nights as a family. pre-kid, it would be a karaoke bar! Haha...
Finish these sentences:
My go to karaoke song is... "It's all coming back to me now" by Celine Dion.
My signature drink is... red wine.
My favorite quote is... "Whatever you're not changing, you're choosing."
